    why yes i am a fan.. if i had the money and the means i'd probably have something extremely similar just in a access cab

    misunderstandings is why things always explode... so i apologize if i sounded off putting didnt mean to, was just trying to say shit adds up fast and to get an idea of what you had for an end plan for your truck. Always want to have plan otherwise you'll end up on deep dish 22s with 33" and a roof top tent with stacks coming out of the bed.... :p

    I gotcha, yea i'm looking into one too. So I'm so stocked i found an Z-series with the rack i need. I have the expo leaf pack as well, did you loose any height with the topper? I look at yours and your's looks so much taller than mine.

    Check the build thread.
    I have actually been considering it more lately after some lack of power going up some steep hills offroad lately.
    I was floored and barely going up a hill and made it to the top ledge before there was no more power.
    I had to engage both front and rear lockers to finish the job.

    Why would I be able to help with that? Remember what assuming makes you lol

    My height has been slowly going down over the last year and a half. I've had to lower my front a few times to keep it leveled. I'm going to have a new leaf pack made to hold all the extra weight I have by Atlas Suspension.

    What the heck?! I was told TRD was the only supercharger option? Ok, going to have to do some of my own research now lol

    Never have. My load changes so much with each trip but I really would like to know what it is unloaded in daily driving mode.

    Apology accepted @jztacoma. I know it adds up fast. Lol. I've learned that over and over. It was a simple question.....Maybe a estimated guess for an answer.
    I've worked on customizing a Honda Civic, Jeep Cherokee XJ 4x4, and now going (street mod) on a 2005 Tacoma.
    It was curiosity as far as what I'm getting into. All makes and models have different problems and expense

    Ok, so URD only makes the 4cyl supercharger... dang it! Ok, so TRD is still the only option for my truck

    Really? Ummm, i'm not sure how much weight I'll be putting back in mine. I do like the slide out bed though. I've never heard of Atlas Suspension, what makes them stand out over All-Pro? Also do you have wheel spacers in the rear, to make the front and back look even as far as the wheels stick out?

    I always say if you are pissing someone off, you are doing it right.
    You could get the URD blower to work with the 09+ taco, it just takes some work.

    so they have an 05-08 kit for the V6... but no clue on what the difference would be for the newer trucks (I assume the same but... yeah never know)

    Atlas doesn't make a one size fits all and will build a set based on your vehicles requirements. The All-Pro Expos are great for a lot of people though and they have just been worked to hard with my set-up. I just carry more weight than a lot of people lol daily and with the trailer.

    I have the 2013 Tacoma 4.0 and I don't see it as an option on their site.
