    Had a exhaust flange go bad so took it as an opportunity for a new muffler. Went with a borla universal muffler sense I wanted to have the tip go strait out the back. Went with 3inch o.d. tip but might go 3.5.

    The borla has a nice deep sound but quiet at cruising speed.

    No matter how much I wash the leaf springs, grease them, or spray them with silicone they sell squeak like a 1950's pickup at all times.

    Flex them out and stick cut up bicycle tire inner tube between the leafs. Works like a charm

    Installed a GM part in my Taco today. Here’s to hoping I don’t burn alive lol!

    4Runner brakes? 4th or 5th gen? You paint the calipers yourself?

    You have a part number for that? Is there a thread on here where others have tried it?

    No thread on here AFAIK. There is a thread on here about some HKB diode that’s crazy expensive and has to be shipped in from OZ. This one does the same thing. Except it cannot be reset but I don’t ever see this blowing because there’s no actual current being carried, it’s just a sensing wire so no problem going from 7.5A down to 1A. Out of an abundance of caution I bought a spare tho. Immediately raised my idling battery voltage by 0.6V! Perfect!

    How's that Pedal Commander working for you? I'm contemplating it and so far it seems to review well.

    Sweet. That's good to know. I'm thinking my next battery will be an AGM or I'll upgrade if I decide to relocate to the bed.
