    Airbox inlet instead of deckplate mod?

    I wish someone would 3D Print the TRD Elbow that came with the superchargers... As far as the deckplate adding noise, that seems to really matter when you remove the intake silencer and have the deckplate open. With the silencer in place, I don't really notice much difference with the deckplate...

    Tire Clearance help

    The wider the wheel, the wider the "Scrub Radius". The wider the scrub radius, the more your tires will rub. Wheel spacers also make the scrub radius worse. I have 285/75/16 and only rub at full compression on the front where it hits the fender liner, most likely at the top rear. That's a rare...

    Considering a 1.5-2" body lift

    Wheel spacers make things worse in the front end. Look up "Scrub Radius" to see why wheel spacers are a bad idea.

    Odd engine stumble.

    Replace the coil boots as well. They should be replaced when you replace wires.

    Watch How Aftermarket Ignition Coils kill the ECU

    I'm guessing this is a problem because there's no separate Igniter (ICM) and the coils are driven directly from the ECU?

    What pressure can I get away with on 35’s load rating E??

    As far as I know, the MINIMUM pressure for LT Tires is 35 PSI. That's why the charts don't list anything under that. I have Load Range D tires and if I run them below the minimum 35 PSI, the tire becomes an undampened spring due to the sidewalls flexing because of under-inflation and the truck's...

    Toyota's official word on Pinging or Knocking

    It doesn't matter which brand I run, but some are definitely worse than others. As I mentioned in my original post, it's always done this. It's in the manual that it may ping from time to time. So...

    Toyota's official word on Pinging or Knocking

    The thing is, Toyota states very clearly that occasional pinging is nothing to be concerned about. They KNOW it's going to happen to some people. Manufacturing tolerances and all. I was speaking to Gadget of URD about piggyback computers and the one that they sell. I asked him if they offered...

    LCA Whiteline bushing install hiccup! Need help!

    I followed this method for replacing my worn stock LCA bushings and installing the Whiteline bushings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX62NFGJwZ0 Heating up the metal enough so it expands seems like a really bad idea to me, so I didn't go that route. Tim also cuts into his frame in that video...

    Noticable difference going from OME 891 to 890?

    I went with a set of LC80 7.5 wraps + the Tokico Black LC80 shocks. Those rode really high and I needed to carry 100lbs of sandbags to get the ride height and quality I wanted. I currently have a set of Toytec 9602RC-P combined with the aforementioned Tokico shocks. It's ok. Gets kinda harsh...

    Noticable difference going from OME 891 to 890?

    The 891 and 890 springs are designed to be used when you are carrying constant extra weight. They are not designed to give a car-like ride. In my experience, linear rate sprigs for the rear of our trucks ride better, but there aren't very many choices for those these days. Progressive or...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I bought the SPC lower links in 2022. They didn't last a full 3 years and were toast in about 8K miles. The rubber bushings tore and the xAxis joints were floppy. Hopefully you have better luck with yours. I bought mine at O'Reilly's and they came with a lifetime warranty from them, so I got my...
