    1st gen. I rebuilt the nose cone on it as soon as I got it. Pulled the bearings and replaced them even though they didn't even need it. It had barely any play in them.

    How worth it do you find the supercharger? I can say, screw all my mod money this summer and get that or I could get a rear bumper, belly armor, and all my front suspension remake.
    Decisions decisions...

    I would just hate to have that much money tied up for that long. Once you get it, I bet it feels like it was all worth it

    I am hoping I can have a local fab shop do mine. Those wait times are insane.

    I love those Tundras. Which I could afford to replace the Camry with one.

    I went with a SC before armor as a deal came up and I was doing fine with my stock bumpers. The SC totally changed the way I drove and loved my 4Runner. The extra power made driving it so much easier and fun. I loved it and it helps with all the extra weight armor brings.

    If you're not wheeling all the time that requires armor go for a SC if you can. You an always pull it later and make your money back (granted you don't buy new) if you want armor instead.

    It's been a blast but they are not cheap at all.
