    I had to have the gf take my rig into a shop to swap bushings and uniballs in the UCAs and get an alignment. sucks.

    I just have no time at all until April to work on it. Thankfully it's all buttoned up now. While they were at it, I had them do a torque check on all my suspension parts. They gave me a discount for being a depressed falcons fan...

    Pretty happy that it is all hooked up just bummed I had to pay to have work done I could have done myself.

    Oh and for those wondering, All pro and TC bushings do not fit in Icon UCAs. I had to have them order some from Icon to fit. Idk if AP and TC are interchangeable.

    What do you get in the tundra on the highway? 15-17?

    How about the interior? Idk how I feel about the dash and push button 4wd...

    Next you will say something ridiculous like you don't need a supercharger and that is has enough power on hills. Lol

    Sorry I encouraged him.

    About 15-16, but I'm also on 34's, so that doesn't help. The interior is super spacious and more comfortable than my 4runner. I have the limited, so leather and heated seats. There is a ton of room up front and the back can handle 3 adults or 1 adult and 2 carseats no problem (my big draw to the Tundra). The push button 4wd is a little weird, but it hasn't screwed up on me yet.

    Only problem is there isn't a bolt on supercharger for the VVTI V8. I would have to find a non-VVTI SC and fabricate some parts to make it work. Can be done, but I have enough power even with the 34's, so for now I'm good, but an SC would be amazing!

    I blew off my boost valve last week. I had the experience of driving with no boost. I have 0 interest in going back to stock... feels like there is an anchor...

    Eventually I will, once my wife gets a job and we have more fun money. Those things are expensive! Probably just a 2 person as my wife won't go in one and it would be just me and the kid(s). Definitely only put it on for trips.

    Got a killer deal on a e locker 4runner with a bad motor.

    Time to part it out.
