Wow I really like the look of those. My biggest complaint with the AlphaRex units was how the smoked lens looked and this solves that completely and even changes the look ever so slightly from OEM.

Would have liked to see Mishimoto included in these tests but looking at the results, its pretty clear it wouldn't be much different. Very small differences between the intakes. Though I have to wonder, if a change in altitude or air density would start to show where one could start to take a...

Yea front bumper needs to come off. There are three bolts that hold it on, one that’s easy access just under the hood on the top, one is on the front hidden behind the grille and one going through the bumper retainer that hold the lamp in place.

Yes that part should fit a long bed. The center pipe is only made in one length and technically Toyota advertises this as a complete kit(containing 2 part number) and because the center pipe on the long bed is different they do not list it for the 6ft trucks. But the Rear axle portion should all...

Sorry I am late to the party lol but I can confirm where the differences are. The center pipes appear to be where the difference in length is, as a truck with a 5ft bed has part number: 17420-AK010 for the stock center pipe and the 6ft bed trucks have: 17420-AK020. From what I can see, all the...

Larger gas tank. Soft touch materials on the dash and doors as standard(get rid of that hard plastic), with higher quality materials like leather on higher trims. Crew cab option to add a little extra rear seat space with a 5ft box as only bed option(with overall wheelbase being somewhere just...

Has it been proven on this engine? No not yet and probably not likely, so you are right that this may not apply. But why I mentioned the whole under “extreme conditions” thing is simply because the oil itself will begin to break down once it reaches a certain temperature, which it can then leave...

I never said anything about the owners manual. After saying the engineers know best I gave my personal opinion. My opinion not being based on the oil itself but on how the engine would be protected. There really isn’t any need to change viscosity, but if you operate under “extreme conditions”...

I get everyone has their own opinion on what oil they think they should run but do we really know better than the people that design these engines? If it is just your daily driver/commuter to work, I see no reason or real benefit in running anything but the recommended oil viscosity. Changing...

Oh totally it’s just this topic reminded me of the shame posts I see people post on IG and FB all the time. The difference being here people are respectful.

I get that there are mods you don't like, but people that shame other peoples mods are more cringe than bad mods. Thankfully this thread has at least stayed respectable because other places like FB and other forums are toxic.

As someone that goes camping frequently(most weekends in the summer), I would not be taking a roof top tent off every time I am done with it. I did that originally with my last truck and it is a massive pain. Its way too heavy to be trying to install/remove every weekend. Mine came off once in...

They typically have fans blowing air across the front during dyno runs to simulate airflow but for a way of measuring power that is probably as accurate and close as you can get. I don't know if there really is a calculation that can account for that as there are too many variables(wind speed...

Are you looking for the front bumper or the rear one? If it is the rear one, they just released the OEM ARB accessory rear bumper in the Canadian market just recently. There are 2 versions. One with and one without sonar(the parking sensors). If you give your VIN to a Toyota parts advisor they...

Here is part 2

Here is part 1(file size is too big because it is soo many pages)

Going to a lower offset moves the wheels outwards clearing more space when you run a wider tire. Ideal offset on these trucks is between +35 to +20 for a nice flush or very mild poke set up. Anything lower or going into the negative offsets will poke even more and potentially have clearance...

It does. Though if you really wanted you can get them powder coated and then clear coated for pretty cheap depending on who you go to.

My bad, I misread part of that. I thought you were complaining about them quoting you $1200. Which to me sounded like a normal price for this kit.

Depends on which lift kit is installed to determine what the price of install can be. Does this reputable shop know what parts are replaced with this kit? This isn't just shocks and springs. You are replacing the Upper control arms which requires at least loosening the intercooler on one side to...
