MARYLAND TACOMAS

Mornin’ neighbors- it’s a good day to Hulu and Chill!

 

Wife & I spent last weekend prepping the cabin for paint and all day yesterday painting. We got the front done and started on one side. Damn rain today definitely slowed our progress down, but hopefully next weekend is dry. I want to get this project over. My buddy dropped off some trout filets yesterday evening that he caught, great dinner with a ice cold beer after a hard day of work.

 

that’s a high end general store front looking cabin! Looks great!

 

I never noticed that but your right it does. Thanks.

 

Looks good. Both the cabin and the fillets.

 

I think they'll hold up ok. I just installed a set on my '21 OR. Like you I noticed they are pretty stiff. Out of curiosity I did beat the crap out of them (Hey, they're only $30 a set) and didn't break. That was around 40° temps. I like the "oldschool" look to them with the 4WD logo!

 

That’s good to know. Those look good on yours, red and the white go well together. After a bit of driving, my tires rub on them so I’ll have to move the wheels forward and hope my alignment does not go out too much before I can get I checked again.

 

Hope that’s didn’t ruin it for you lol.

 

Na, not much can ruin this place for me, Heaven on earth for me up here. Plus I always loved the look of old general stores lol.

 

Thanks @dave5623 for the OVTune! 5 minutes and a totally different truck! I could have talked trucks all day haha.

 

which tune did you get? Did you go with just the basic?

 

I also wanted to give a huge thanks to @dave5623 !!! My truck runs the way it should run now! Hands-down best Mod so far and money well spent!!

 

it’s finally here!!

Advanced Tech Off Roaf 6 spd

40k out the door how did i do guys?

 

@Majora came in clutch today! Prinsu Rack and Diode Stage Series 42” bar. Super clean look that is exactly what I was looking for!

 

Oh also wanted to thank @Smoketown for the kick down yesterday!!

 

I still dont understand what all it does and what the rave is all about

 

I’m not sure about the exact detailing but im sure somebody can explain what it does a little bit better than I can. Maybe @dave5623 @RedDeadTaco
@Russty__
@68dave can chime in their expertise.
I’ve been contemplating this for the last two years and done a lot of reading and research on the matter. My only two issues with this truck (ThirdGens) is The slight hesitation when pushing the Excelerator before the vehicle actually gets up and goes. And the chasing of gear issue. As soon as I got in my truck after Dave tuned it I really felt a difference. Push the gas the vehicle goes immediately. And the shift points are right where they should be. On the highway going 65 to 70 miles an hour the shifting was all over the place especially when using cruise control and going down hills and up. With the tune I no longer have those issues.

 

To be honest I have no idea haha. I think there’s only one for the mt? Haha maybe I should ask @dave5623

it just opens up the engine a bit. It’s not like a v8 swap or anything crazy haha. But it’s definitely noticeable. It took out that crazy power jump at high rpm and spread out the power throughout the rpm range. I also noticed more low end torque. I’ll report back about mpg gains if any. If you want to give it a test drive let me know. You can take it out. Mostly stock truck with 285’s

 

but i have experienced zero of those issues or concerns with my father's 2020. its as smooth as could be. So what would he gain?

The information seems so strange and vague and their website sucks

 

but with premium fuel only right?
