    I'm seriously considering this, but the LRA one fits "better" aka stock, and both will still have data sending issues regardless.

    This kit makes more sense if you want to shift the weight for hooning or want to run a 4 link kit.

    In my dumb opinion, I'd rather keep the factory-ish gas location [with a larger tank] and run a 3-link+panhard and either have a storage container there or a water and air tank system.

    I wish i would of had the 34 gallon tank when i was driving all over the country.. now my tacoma does like a tank of fuel a month..

    I sure am glad the tundra has the 38 gallon tank though. I dunno how people drive those with the 26 gallon, you’d always be at the gas station. Still curious what they do with the 22 tundra. I hope even if they boost the fuel economy the keep the 38 gallon tank for extended range and towing. Also looks like a linked rear and coils which is nifty. Rumored TTv6 + hybrid

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Confirmed rumors.

    Also Toyota have a plethora of 5.7s still, not sure what's going to happen to those or where they're going to end up

    I think I'll keep the spare in the cargo area and put the $900 towards fuel, beer, and camping. :)

    I can barely stand my fake hood scoop. No way would I ever mount recovery gear on my hood!

    Even if it was free, still a hard pass. ;)


    They look nice! I looked at them awhile ago. They have some similarities to Duratracs, which makes sense as I thought I heard they were owned by GoodYear. Should be good tires.

    That's what I thought, tighter packed center treads and bigger gaps towards edges like Duratrac. Hopefully they aren't too loud.

    Agreed. If I had absolutely no other place to go with maxtraxs I would probably just drill the hood and mount directly vs adding the additional weight of a rack that clamps to the edges.
