The Lair

Platinum!

2021 Certified Used

 

Ooo you fancy boy. I assume you traded in the tacoma?

 

Norris is still parked at home. Gonna sell it to a coworker or my nephew. They both want it.



We went to get a white 2019 TRD Pro, but I was very unimpressed. It had no creature comforts.

My wife saw the platinum and asked the salesman to look at it. We both immediately fell in love. The vented seats are to die for...and YOLO!

Had a Bakflip Tonneau and Amp Research power steps too as a bonus!

 

Hell yeah! Well congrats, that’s a huge step up, literally.

 

Thanks! It is by far the nicest (and biggest) vehicle I have ever owned!

Randy, what octane petrol do you run in your "not a build" Tundra?

 

Whatever the cheapest is at the pump, I think 87 or 89. I've never put anything else in any of my vehicles.

 

I forget you are at sea level so 87 is the lowest available to you. We have 85 here.

 

Wait, you're not at sea level?

 

Why did you go with that cooler vs this one?

Sarcasm? No. I am about 4.5-5k feet above here around town, and anytime I head up the canyons can go up to 9-10k feet above.

 

Back when I bought that, he offered the Setrab cooler for $900 or the MHX 514 for $1000. An extra $100 for more cooling power was a no brainer for the weight I pull.

I wasn't sure what part of UT you're in, I assumed somewhere flatter.

 

So the cooler you went with has more cooling power? Does he not offer the same kit as you purchased anymore?

 

Correct, the Setrab has a 27,000-39,000 BTU per hour cooling capacity and the MHX has a 46,000 BTU per hour cooling capacity. He doesn't offer it anymore because shortly after I bought the kit the price of the MHX cooler went up, and he would have had to raise prices even more.

 

Ah, I emailed him to see just in case. A quick google search shows the MHX-514 is $350 by itself...and out of stock everywhere!

 

Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll still have this kit.

Just cuz its flat don't mean its not high. I think the lowest point in UT is still like 2800' or so down by St. George.

 

Flat = sea level

anything else is fake news

 

He responded, rather quickly too I might add. It is supply chain issues. The 514 has been backordered through the manufacturer for six months. They are currently trying to redesign the cooler to work around said issues. I emailed him back and asked if I could buy the remainder of the kit, minus the cooler in the off chance I could source one on my own. We'll see what he says. He did assure me the setrab would perform just as well... but those are also out of stock until end of June.

 

I believe him, if you can't get your hands on the 514 then I would still be really happy with the setrab. I've seen it in person and it's deceptively large. I would rather get that and get it installed asap rather than wait around in hopes of finding a 514.
