    No i didn't have the stock bumper. A guy on here has a the stock bumper though and this kit. Can't think of his screen name though...

    Well i have a plate bumper, a thick front skid plate, winch, and two batteries up front as well as a supercharger.

    So if i put an approximate number on it id say anywhere from 100-200lbs extra if not more. Couldn't say honestly.

    Yeah bro, when you air down your tires and are running LT it's absolutely insane how our trucks behave. Especially with the rear done too. I couldn't believe what I was going over and fast. Jeeps were doing like 5mph and I'd have to pass them doing like 30 on tough big bump rock mountain trails. So fun to humiliate Jeeps and anything else with a LT Taco!

    Possibly yes.

    My plan now is new Knock sensors(Probably try the GM ones) and wiring and 02 sensors. Go through all the vacuum lines and make sure that's all happy.

    If that doesn't work. Bitch is coming off.

    No.

    I did appericate it though. I've wheeled with a 5speed, 33s, and 4.10s. Its not the funnest way to crawl. The auto let me have great control during crawling with 33s and 4.10s.

    Id want a regear much sooner with a 5 speed.

    I do enjoy it. Even with the 315s it's still doing well.

    But I'd never want an auto car

    I figured, toytec doesn't have an option for new ones. Guess I could go through the dealership but that might be a tad expensive lol
