    Those ones really come down to application/preference.

    LT will walk all over SAS in the whoops, while SAS guys will be waiting on the LT guys to replace CV's all day on the gnar crawling trails.

    Turbos are more efficient and a good way to make power but are a trade off between more power vs time to achieve power. Bigger turbo make more power but takes longer to spool... S/C makes instant power but can only go as fast as the rpm. That can be countered by just getting a bigger S/C though.

    This one is iffy... after running skinnies for a while now I want to try some wides but anymore I am leaning towards wides. Skinny tires fit easier though and have less rubbing issues.

    Plate and tube is just preference. I think tubes look ugly usually because everything is exposed they are usually lighter though.

    I don't have much else to do... Sit around and wait to go to work, do nothing and work and then do a little after work but it's basically eat dinner and chill for a bit then go to bed... I live a boring life. haha

    I didn't start any of them per se... They were already they and I just added to them, which basically made them explode. haha

    duh! haha




    So Monte how does your Dad like his URD TCAI? No problems with it? I was talking with the LT guys about what they thought of it for keeping sand out of the intake, but they basically all told me to stay away from it. SierraExpedtions has one on his Taco and he said he has hydrolocked it three times now driving in the Arizona rain (even with the Hydro-Shield pre filter on), although it looks like AZ gets more rain than ID and WY. haha

    Yep fixing to leave right now! Gonna be a long day

    We haven't had any issues. But yes. We don't get a lot of rain. He put a different filter on it to and had to mod it a bit..but seems to be fine. Of all the things that caused issues at hasn't been one. Plus my dad re mounted it so the piping is all down hill. Would take a lot of water for it to reach or get sucked in.

    But for heavy rainy areas I can see how it could be an issue.
