    That's probably true. Then just get a crawlbox for the lowrange.

    I was just briefly looking and couldn't find a crawlbox option for that setup though... May be the option to swap the tcase for a gear driven 4.7 but that may only be for.the 1st gen tundra.

    Yeah it's just wishful thinking. I'm pretty sure the 4.6 and 5.7 are pretty pricey themselves plus the tranny. It is probably easier and cheaper to just go Tor's route and have the 4.0 built and stroked to a 4.4L then run a mid size turbo on it so it makes good power while still spooling quickly.

    Yea that makes it exciting. And for backpacking that is fun

    But if my truck breaks down and no cell service.li want to be able to get it out.

    :laugh:

    Yea it's nice. But a real GPS would be better for real trail tracking haha

    Shutup :D haha

    And yes it is!

    Ummm...probably not..

    I have the find me spot as well but the one you hook up to your smart phone. It never would pair up with my phone properly and wouldnt populate the information onto my iPhone. Never had to use the emergency button but im sure that works, or atleast i hope it does.

    No. It goes off satellites. But you can get a nicer version that like will hook to your phone to send custom messages everytime.

    I've always thought it was for more flex, but also primarily for catching air (better) and being able to handle more types of terrain?
