    Mostly whatever sweet stuff I can find at Vatozone
    Have you actually failed a visual because of those parts or are you just being cautious? Those are on the short list of mods for me to do
    I’d like to do a 2.85 pulley also.
    Would be nice to go even smaller but there is a bunch of other stuff to do to be able to support it. Not totally sure im ready to commit to all that stuff.
    Rabbit hole for real

    Yes, throttle body spacers are a big fail. Even an untrained monkey can tell that black anodized block didn't come OEM> I've also gotten crap about headers and intakes that had CARB badges welded on.

    The biggest fail for me was my S/C. I did not have a sticker and even though I brought in the CARB paper he wouldn't pass until I got a sticker. BUT as I pointed out to him that was stupid since I could just slap a sticker up there on anything and he wouldn't know. He shamefully agreed but said he needed to see the sticker. So could a TRD intake sticker work on a AFE with a Coupe TRD cover, probably....

    I now take off my Tundra TB about a week or so before smog, reset ECU, and use a small bluetooth OBDII adapter to make sure all the internal tests pass before going in

    It's an expensive solution if all you are trying to do is avoid smog. But it's a nice perk if you're looking to buy some land anyway.

    same. I would've gotten more aggressive but 2.85 and the upgraded fuel pump was the most I wanted to do (spend) at the time. I had milo install the fuel pump when he boxed the frame but I haven't installed the pulley yet. Still want to get a boost and afr gauge but im lazy and will pull a fernando.

    I just did a smog on mine when i transferred it to my name and they didn’t even bat an eye. Just smogged it and off i went. Wonder if it’s because its a trd SC and looks stock:notsure:
    Thats will likely be something I do as well.
    Really don’t want to get too much deeper into it than that. But it’s a slippery slope.

    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Anyone an electrical guru? I'm considering removing subs that came with the runner but haven't decided whether or not I want to pursue this endeavor.

    Two sub boxes are taking up some needed space if I am considering sleeping in the rig as well as adding some sort of drawer system.

    The only thing I DO like is that I have an 800w power inverter in the rear already hardwired to the battery so I probably would be keeping that but the subs/amp I don't really need atm. @MattJakobs you'll see the cargo area this weekend and it would be good to hear your opinion on what I might be able to do!

    Shiny stuff in the engine bay is always a gamble, but it depends on who's doing the smog alot of the time too. My most recent smog after adding my SC, the guys eyes went straight to my blue anodized oil catch can, points at it and says “supercharger”?
    I had to hold in my laughter
