What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed mud guards. I'm not sure I'll keep them on but I had them so ...

 

Got rid of some more chrome.

 

what will be the final HP on that?

 

4-500

 

The Stealthbox I snagged on Crutchfield has arrived from JL. About to plug it in and then hit up the local OHV spot in Bridgeport, TX. I’ll post pics of the trails later. First time out. Got the tunes bumpin’ now—Kids are pumped. Or is that me?

props to JL for the extra safe foam packaging. This thing could have been dropped hard and would have been fine— top and bottom. The box was in perfect condition though. UPS gets a high five too.

 

Looks good but it seems like a supercharger would be simpler

 

Installed bed lights and the switch today...easy! Thanks to TacomaWorld of course!

 

Simple doesn’t get you to 4-500 HP

 

True...True...

But it will get you 375+

 

Looking good!!
What's the projected torque curve gonna look like? Looking to bump the low end torque with faster spooling or top end HP with larger turbine?

 

Installed @At The Helm bed stiffeners this morning. I hate drilling into my truck. I had a mini heart attack when after I drilled the holes they didn't quite line up, but then I realized it's because I needed to tighten the D-ring bolt like when I marked them and panic attack was over!

I was on the fence for a while if I even needed these or if they were worth it. But I do off road a lot for work so it's a good insurance just in case.

 

Did you notice any differences or fading of the paint when you removed your decal? I have a 2016 MGM too and am a little hesitant to try this.

 

I need to get a set of these. Moved the truck and parked in another part of my yard while doing yard work. Uneven ground when I came back to put it in it's normal spot, I instantly noticed the gaps between the bed and tailgate were not the same. I can't imagine what off-roading would do.

 

Looks absolutely awesome. I need to wire mine up. How’d you wire yours?

 

No extra adapter needed. Straight plug and play! I've been very pleased with them so far. Much better than the factory ones.

 

A very good investment, in my view.

 

Would you please film the dyno run? I want to see and hear it. And then of course the numbers. Thank you in advance.

 

It would be for sure. But I did not pick this for simplicity of installation.
1)I like a challenge and being different than the rest.
2)There is more potential power with turbos
3)I think the Low end TQ will be greater than a S/C.
4)Twin turbos(especially bypassed straight pipe) are going to sound rad and get me internet points.
5) I already cut a secondary snorkel inlet on the drivers side. No going back.

Sure. I tried to dyno the truck before I started the install but it was too wide for the local shop’s dyno. I have some baseline draggy measurements and video. I will do another run post-turbo install. This will show real world gains and performance. Dyno numbers are cool and all, but the draggy will really show the improvement. Also, I’m on 37’s which really robs power on the dyno. So unless I switch to some stock wheels or 32’s it will most likely be ~100hp off.

 

Co-worker in detail was kind enough to offer a ceramic coat while at work today!!

 

I changed my rear and front diff fluid today at 67k. The fluid that was in the rear came out as if it was brand new. I have never changed it before and the last time I took it to the dealership was at 35k and as far as I know, they've never touched it.


My front was a different story. That came out black.
