Clean, Purpose-Built 3rd Gen SR5

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. As you know I’m trying to keep the noise to a minimum.

 

Yeah me too... I noticed some states have law about loud noise which you could get ticket.. California, for example. Which is why I don't want to put it on then move then realize there is a law, then take it off.. too much work. So I leave stock then I go anywhere without any issues.

 

Then don't go with a smaller or a cylinder style muffler.

Just posted pictures of my latest version of my exhaust in my build...

 

Headed over to your thread!

 

Out in the wild doing what it was built to do…cruising the Costco parking lot.

 

Remember while back that we talked about MPG... So here's what I got since I got off road wheels, it tops at 416 as shown here that I filled up today:

Please excuse the dirty screen. I hate to wipe to scratch all up like my last truck. I am out of the dust blower.

 

That is crazy!! What size tires do you have? I thought I get good mileage but that’s really impressive.

 

As same as factory size which is 265 65 17. Not AT tires, though. Just All season road tires at this time. AT tires aren't here yet.

 

Ohh gotcha. Well that’s still great mileage.

 

For a second I thought your windshield was smashed, but now I see it

 

lol that would be so upsetting! Yeah fortunately just the sun shade thing. Trying to keep the interior nice since I plan on putting a million miles on this bad boy

 

For my fellow tire nerds….Looks like Toyo is releasing a new tire. I don’t need any more choices lol

This looks promising though.

AWESOME build! I actually almost bought the same wheels for wife's truck. Great overall look and stance. Long time driver for sure!

 

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah I think I really have the truck dialed in for long distance trips. It rides very smooth and gets very good MPGs and is still great off road.

 

Got a LOT more pages to read but what a nice, subtle, pragmatic build. I would love to take my truck on more road trips but I feel bad about keeping my kids in the back for 8-10hrs.

Came here after your Grabber ATX post from the wheels/tires thread I had

 

Hey, thanks so much! Yeah sometimes I feel bad making my dogs sit back there for so long…That’s what led me to get the Goose Gear seat delete. They seem to be much comfier now although I don’t think the same solution would work for kids

 

I'm sure someone has already said this (I'm about 3 years behind ) but load resistors work until they start to get too hot, as soon as they cool off they begin to work just fine again.

 

Hahah thanks man! Yea I installed the resistors a couple years back and that solved the issue but I appreciate it!

 

Awesome build - respect for focusing on trying to retain the stock look as much as possible. I've got a similar build, blk ltd 4wd - I've been meaning to start a build thread.
