    When the 7th kicks in about 2500rpms the AFR drops to 11.8 amd the truck starts pulling uphill until I let off the gas. My comfort range going uphill is 2800-3600.

    I'm probably at like 16 TBH. Wish I tracked it but wasn't thinking. Sorry, bro! Got real busy there for a while, man. Barely had any free time.

    I'm sure 4.88's would help a lot.

    Does anyone know in detail about what happened with Gobi and WMW? Is @Mobtown Offroad safe to run a group buy on 3rd gen roof racks?

    Doing some reading on it now on T4R

    I mean, a roof rack is a roof rack and there are only so many ways to mount them...

    I've been in the process of designing one but am putting it on hold until I can find the case or figure out what GOBI claims infringed on their design.

    So WMW decided not to fight it, instead fold? Do you know if the cases against them were ultimately dropped?

    Bought a truck today! Well, my money did at least. I didn't directly. But it's mine! 2001 Sr5 Taco with 220k on it, 3.4L v6 with auto trans. My dad said it rides and drives perfect, and has 0 rust whatsoever. I'm pumped for this thing. Bone stock. I have a custom grille on the way thats a Satoshi with Tacoma written out across it, in air force camo. So that'll most likely be the first addition. I'll keep coming back here since you all are my favorite people on the forum. Lol. I'll link the build once I start it, but its gonna be weird since my dads gonna do a lot to it while I'm away (I won't drive it until December.)

    I really don't have any more additional information on the topic, what most you guys know is what I know. I wasn't shared all the details of the end result. I didn't ask.
