    Hey,
    I'm new to the site. I own a red 08 double cab PreRunner long bed that I Recently added some pro-comp wheels(7032) 17x9 and Nitto Trail Grapplers LT285-70R-17's to my truck. I've already installed a AFE MagnumFORCE Stage-2 Si PRO DRY S Intake System, AFE Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer, Pro Comp 3in Nitro Leveling Kit and hopefully for Christmas (AFE 2.5in Mach Force XP Cat-Back Exhaust System). Being that it's 2WD what else can I add to improve on the performance of the truck? I really haven't seen or felt much power loss in my truck since installing the wheels and tires. I am confused though on the whole speedo threads I've been reading about. I'm not really understanding the need to re-gear the rear end or buying a programmer to offset the tire size? If anything those are my two biggest concerns. Any help would be appreciated. And before people start saying to search through the threads I already have, that's why I'm confused.

    Does plasti-dip count as a mod?
    I love the truck! Just a suggestion, paint the emblems black and your truck would look amazing!

    It gave me better response when I smash on the gas. As far as the spacer goes it gives the truck a supercharged type sound when I accelerate. Overall I'm pretty happy with both. I've had the intake and spacer for over 6 months and have notice a slight increase in MPG's and great response when I need it. My next upgrade is hopefully the AFE 2.5 cat back exhaust system for Christmas.
