Hey folks,
Im looking for feedback from folks that have supercharged their trucks. Even if they have something similar like a S/C FJ and their real world experience. Besides the obvious fun that comes with forced induction, Im really needing more power out of the truck for towing. I am not worried about gas mileage or any of that kind of stuff, just reliability and if any of y'all have towing experience before and after it.
I am looking at upgrading to a 7x12 or 7x14 Vnose trailer and the wind resistance on the highway really puts a strain on the truck. Ive thought about getting a truck but I really don't want to start from scratch to build another "show" vehicle for our company. Now before I get crap about overloading or towing too heavy, the trailer won't be loaded down with a lot of weight, we just really need the space. Ive got a prodigy P3 brake controller and have been towing for years and it won't be over 5500 pounds total, its really just the wind resistance that slows me down and being underpowered is a HUGE pet peeve of mine lol.
Right now Im looking at the URD kit and they are telling me the 05-09 kit will fit my 04. Im waiting to hear back from them to verify that and what other if any modifications Ill need to make. Now at $5,600 this is no cheap mod, but if it maintains that this truck will meet all of my needs then its worth it not to get another vehicle. I will also be looking at upgrading the valve body on the trans from http://www.importperformancetrans.com/index.shtml, Ive got an aux transmission cooler with fan and switch to keep the temps under control.
Thanks in advance-

I talked to Steve @ URD and he confirmed that the 05-09 4runner kit WILL work with the 03-04 4.0 but its a special order item. They have to make some minor changes within the circuit boards but that kit will work!
