    Don't know if someone already said axle or cv....popping in IFS with axles always makes me lean to that

    I'm not a big proponent of most bolt-on engine mods without forced induction. Most mods are a give and take. And I usually don't like the losses in low end power that come from the high end gains. The Urd headers are the only ones I would run on an N/a motor unless my goal was to keep the cats, then I'd just keep the manifolds stock. Not enough gain to justify the expense. I kept everything stock till I added my S/C. I personally am not a fan of how our trucks sound with exhaust.

    As far as exhaust goes, I've set my truck up to pass smog with the exception of the visual, I just smogged my truck a few months back, smog tech looked the other way on the visual. Computer wise the smog machine couldn't tell the modified s/c was there or that the cats were missing.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Yeah the other part of me says much of the same thing. I hate the way the truck is so quiet at idle, that's what kills me.

    As far as muffler shops go... ever done a bed-side-exit tail pipe? :laughing:

    Yeah I've done side exits, not on a Tacoma, but it's pretty much the same. I can't remember, do you have a short or long bed? Not sure it's possible on a short bed. I'd have to look at my truck.

    Are permits requires for the amount of people plus vendors? If I remember correctly the 6th annual Superstition meet was so huge and stacked with vendors they needed permission and insurance or something? @MadTaco461 , I know you would know the answer for this.

    Ocotillo wells I think you are good. Don't quote me. Worst case just give the vender a heads up to say it's not a sponsored event. More like just tell rangers everyone is hanging out for fun. I think just superstition is strict with that. We never had issues in the past. I can't really figure out a way to word it, but if you play the hey we all just hanging out anything goes enjoy camping.

    All of Ocotillo wells is first come first serve no fees or anything. Anza Borrego slightly different though.

    Only on my 1st Gen tundra. I'll try to find a pic. It used an aluminum bezel I got from a tundrasolutions.com vendor. Guy that @eon_blue is talking to at our local muffler place did it. pita from what I remember because I wanted it high and tight and it had to bend around the frame rails and still clear the leaves at full bump. But it looked sweeeeet. Besides the eventual black buildup on the bezel itself.

    Ocotillo Wells is free to camp on a first come first served basis. I don't believe vendors need permits, don't see why but don't quote me there.

    I wouldn't expect any problems as long as vendors arent lining the place up with tables and products for sale. Not saying they shouldnt bring stuff.we just dont want the campground looking like a swap meet.But this is a great opportunity for them to show off some stuff and tell people in person about there products. Think they will be alright with a couple banners kind of like how @CaliRaisedLed set up at Big Bear.Not sure I want to open the can of worms and ask local Rangers about it.
