    very nice! though in winter my tuck always feels a bit more sluggish, I swear the ethanol in my gas drops my fuel milage and makes it feel less powerful, not that it's you know a race car or anything.

    ive an AFE intake box, and i want to do exhaust but haven't done anything about that, had a line on a shop who said if I brought my own mufflers, they would get it done for like $60, but then had another friend message me and show me some work that shop did, and it was super rough looking.

    though i haven't pulled the top off my intake in a min should probably check to see if my filter is disgusting.

    Ethanol has less energy per gallon vs gasoline. So you are definitely getting less milage. And unless your engine is tuned for ethanol you will make less power also as it has a higher octane rating

    Cooper AT3 4S 265/75/16 on T100 wheels. Still figuring out what I want to do for center caps, whether to try to repaint the factory ones or buy the cheap remakes on eBay. Can’t decide on keeping the center caps the factory silver or going with black. Bilstein 5100’s in the works front and back with Toytec lift springs up front to level it out. Keeping this truck practical since I plan to keep it for a lifetime!

    I’m liking this. I’ll run a power cord out of my garage and put my chop saw on the gate and cut firewood kindling like that versus putting up a saw horse or what not among other work type stuff

    Just bought it Friday night. This will be my 4th 2nd gen.

    2014 base, 4wd, 5pd with 69k miles. Parts already ordered include, trd pro grill, oem rubber bed mat, avs vent shades. Soon to order a set of 5th gen 4runner trd offroad premium wheels, not sure what tires I'll be going with. I've been a Bfg guy for a long time, kinda thinking of going with something different this go around.

    Anyone know the thread pitch for the front bump stops? I read somewhere that it was 3/8-16 but when I went to install they didn't thread in. When I compared to the original bump stop, the thread indeed appeared to be more fine.
