TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Find a big rig with the most consistent speed and draft it

 

I'll be the Poindexter and remind everyone to calc their MPGs with the tire size % included. *oh i get sooo much worse milage now, even on the freeway with the new tires!!*

GPS speedo/track compared to the trip mileage is how I figured mine out. 11% difference in reported miles vs actual. (315 70 17)

added benefit...less miles on the official ODO if that matters to anyone.

 

Drive a little commuter car

 

Does anyone have the 3rd gen trd skid plate on their 2nd with an after market bumper? Or know if it will work?

 

And a pic of said camper???

 

Yep, my spreadsheet has the adjustment multiplier built into the MPG calculation column. With 32" tires and my truck's speedometer, it's 1.046

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks!

 

I checked and even renting an economy car is like $600 just for the rental, then gas on top of it. Guess I'll just buy a seat massager and enjoy the ride in the truck

 

How do you like those tires? Are they terribly loud? For how aggressive they pattern is..

 

Dude, I absolutely love these things. They were so smooth and quiet considering they are a large and aggressive MT. The D rating and their proprietary sidewall tech makes them nice and soft. Honestly, they might be the first tire I will buy again after these die. I've never ran the same tire twice... always looking for something just right. I tend to kill them pretty fast between wheeling and just the Sun/Heat here in Az.

 

Where the heck are you renting from and for how long lol? Wife and I rented a Mustang 2 years ago for a week in Cali and it was like $200. Was only like $5 a day difference for the stang vs a Corolla

 

2 years ago? The market is insane right now for rentals. I've been paying up to $1,300 for 4 days in some locations.

 

your

your 10 speed has a gas tank??

 

It does when you duct tape and zip tie a motor to it.
kidding, it is my motor cycle.

 

i miss bikes. cant afford any more body damage. if i got one last wish it would be the H2-R. something conservative you know.

 

do you ever get hassled for no rear mudflaps? im only running them to keep 5.0 away.

 

I wonder if it would work without a aftermarket front bumper

 

I’m running one with the stock bumper on my 2013
