    That's why he's moving to Arizona.
    It's not the snow and cold.
    It's not the mosquitoes.

    He doesn't like Wisconsin mud.:D

    I allegedly went some similar speeds on CO-92 between Ouray and Moab as well. Was pleasantly surprised that my Razr’s had no shake at triple digits with zero attempts at balancing

    ECU is definitely supported. It’s just that 2nd gens can be a bit finicky right after the tune is flashed. Once everything settles 2nd Gen owners will experience the same benefits as a 3rd Gen. There are many folks with KDMAX Pro on 2nd gens and 2015’s, but some tuners are apprehensive about them and shy away. All of the KDMAX pro tuners pride ourselves on the level of customer service we provide, both for the tune itself and any follow up and want to make sure there are no issues with the truck or the tune.

    I am still going to be in the area starting on the 15th and am tentatively doing a tune on the 17th or 18th. I am not sure if there is any interest, but I can plan a tuning event at a specific location/s if there is enough demand and everyone who wants a tune can organize a date and time that works. I’ll keep this thread updated when and where I’ll be as I get more appointments. I would love to meet some of you who are interested in KDMAX Pro 10.0. Reach out if you have a third Gen Tacoma or 4Runner and want more information.

    For sure! One spot was so fun, I had to go through several times!

    I'm sure I'm going to regret it when I start washing it later. :oops:

    It's not playing in the mud that is the issue It's cleaning it afterwards.

    Jeeze, don't those tires have a speed limit? My KM3's top at 90mph... says right there on the casing.

    I have 37x12.5r17’s on the first gen and 315/70r17’s on the second gen if that says anything about how much I like them. There isn’t a whole lot I’d consider short of stickies to replace them for pure offroad use with the disclaimer that 95% of my wheeling is on rocks/creek beds, etc. I’ll probably put a fresh set of 37’s on the first gen when I replace them next year

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Because it's a truck and you have big tires. That has nothing to do with your gearing lol. But can confirm, these Tacos will do 110. (And then some more ...) :anonymous:

    I hear ya. But in 4L and 1st with my tires and armor and whatnot, I usually find it satisfactory.



    Usually.

    Not my first rodeo :cheers:

    Man I need to get up there and wheel with y'all. And then you lot need to come to Windrock or Flat Nasty or Moonlight and wheel with us :D

    This. Badlands 12k synthetic all day. And twice on Sundays.

    They aren’t a TSL or a Bogger but are fine enough for the SE wheeling I do. I admittedly do not wheel with wheel speed and I really hate mud.

    Not a great vid, but typical of Harlan/Windrock/AOP wheeling stuff I’m on

    Well accidentally visited WI today. Typed in the wrong address and it was right on the border so I didn't think anything of it :anonymous:
    Had lunch there and also brought some contraband home :spy:

    Enough of this truck talk.
    Let's talk food.


    I went to Menards today. I had to get some duct work for kitchen project. On the way home I stopped at Fleet Farm. There was a food truck in the parking lot.
    Got me some BBQ pulled pork.
    Damm it was good.:hungry::hungry::hungry:.

    I've been in the sticks of WI when we went to go pick up my dog. How about Stoughton? That's where we picked my old Tacoma up at the Chrysler dealer.
