TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I think I remember seeing the launch edition. It looked pretty darn sweet.

 

Just figured you guys would appreciate seeing this.

 

Rookie. Come back when you’re towing 12k lbs

 

Not gonna lie, that looks sketchy. Is that a double set of trailers?

 

Well atleast the guy I was dealing with, just goes ghost or doesnt respond for weeks on end. Not sure what they are doing over there but I figured if I was spending $$ with them the least they could do is order the parts for me

Yikes.. I can’t imagine that was a fun tow

 

I agree actually. 12K sure seems pretty Sketch Mcgetch. It was more for the awesome scenery and taco porn with matching trailer rim bling more than the weight being towed. Lol.

 

Perfect. I usually buy all my cars in black but the blue and red they offer is pretty nice.

That LE color is sick. The looks are meh to me but that 5.0 is the selling point anyway.

 

A 5.0?! Oh my gawd!

 

I think Adrian was the one and only helpful person there years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me if he isn’t even there anymore.

I towed a Cressida on a uhaul hauler with my 4Runner before. I think it was 5500 lbs total. 2/10. Would not do again.

 

Lexus bought back the “F” for a short time. Where you been?

 

So like that trailer was at least 10-12k lbs. and I definitely towed it with truck I full LT mode. Like a few hundred ft around the property. Drop hitch definitely was dragging in a few spots

 

But see the thing is his truck doesn't count when it comes to anything involving the frame because it's not even a "Tacoma" frame anymore. It's a "Ryan." Lol.

 

Are you talking about the upgrading from the rubber hoses to the plastic accordion type like OEM? The fit is better with the plastic. I don't think the feed and return hoses will pinch but I guess people have done it with their rubber install. I installed the plastic one and was worth knowing it's like OEM.

 

I have about 5k miles with a 24ft 5,500lb trailer behind the truck. Most of that was +4,500ft elevation and the truck was NA. Wasn't horrible but you definitely knew it was back there. The new travel trailer is 3,500lbs and much less tiring to tow and with our boat you can't even tell it's back there if you don't check the mirrors.

 

Nice deep V! What size is it? A 16, 17 footer?

 

I gotta say having the whole kit, and the excellent instructions that came with it was a HUGE help. They did ship out the wrong fuel pump at first, and while I wouldn't say it was the best customer service, it certainly wasn't the worst.

 

I'm ISO an engine cover in good condition for a 4.0 and was wondering if anyone wanted to part ways with theirs. I don't really need it but I would pay $40 shipped for one. I'll even send you a prepaid shipping label to make it easy.

 

I was more annoyed that their Mark III cat back didn't fit correctly (rubbed leafs) than anything. Especially when the description said it worked off-roads. My TRD exhaust fit fine, so the Mark III from URD was a letdown in that regards.

 

And it’s also a let down that if you buy the full URD kit it’s way to loud lol like if your gonna design it you gotta at least make it not drone as much

 

I have an intake question. I am about to get my fenders chopped for more clearance, constantly rubbing when off-roading. In doing this. I need to get a snorkel or a ram air intake. I do not want a snorkel. I am looking at the Volant Ram air setup. How does this system work with our supercharged setups? Any issues I should be aware of before making the switch? I am currently running the AFE intake. Thanks
