Suggestions for mods

Ok so its nice to see so many suggestions for visuals, but what about power mods, I was gonna start with a cold air intake and some other simple installs, anyone know good ones with high power yield?

 

For intake remove the secondary charcoal air filter. Swap the regular air filter with an afe pro dry. Stock is cold air, now some of us have done snorkels or hidden snorkels which will improve the engine a little.

 

I'll hold off on a snorkel for now, don't exactly plan on sinking my truck

 

No one plans on doing it lol it just happens

 

That's cool too. I get excited sometimes.

 

Your options for power mods are limited.


aFe makes drop-in filters and full intakes.
Injen makes an intake.
LCE makes an exhaust manifold and cat back exhaust.
URD makes a supercharger kit.

People are starting to build custom turbo kits. The only options for manifolds right now are custom or a chinese made one. LCE has made a log manifold but who knows when it will be released.

And that pretty much covers all your options for performance mods.

 

x runner wheels with bigger tires would look good. Color match the bumpers, get some fog lights, debadge it, if your really want it to get up and go better you probably will have to either get a urd supercht for 5k or regear it. You might be able to get a 373 or 410 third member from a junkyard and out in your axle so you don't have to worry about having the gears set up if you regear.

Also check in between the thermostat housing and intake to see if your coolant bypass pipe is leaking.

 

Snorkel your 5LUG Bro!



Performance-wise, I regeared the rear from Stock 3.58 to 4.56. Snorkel install/Charcoal removal. Working on a Turbo soon.

 

Drive the truck for awhile & get a better idea what you want to do with it as far as Mods go , Off road style or Lowrider ?

 

Oh off road style definitely, Ive had the truck long enough to have decided what I want to do with it

 

Sounds like you know what you want -Good Luck & Enjoy.

 

It's mostly because I enjoy the style of the off-road look more than a street truck, different strokes for different folks

 

I'm also looking for some mods to do, on the interior and exterior, that won't break the bank. So far I have...
RC 2" leveling kit
Ranch Hand brush guard
Matte black tool box
Cargo bar
Cheap wetsuit seat covers



This is her! Let me know what y'all think

 

Can’t you run certain RAV4 rims with a 5-lug?

 

Go up a tire size and there goes practical. I do know the steel wheels are heavy, going with a better looking and lighter alloy are both practical and visually appealing. Not really much you can do for power unless going forced induction. Really doubt an intake can do much for the 4cyl. I do know that headers is the best you can do for it money wise. My best mod so far. I'm still doing testing to see if it really does improve mpg. I do a lot of highway driving with 270 miles one way and I know what stock yields me.

 

I so want one of those for my 2015 4-cyl,

Guess it would be good to try it with all stock components instead of with an exhaust and intake and such.

Really get a base line for seat-of-the-pants and stuff.

 

Get some Fuel rims and Toyo AT2's. Put some on my 2013 Prerunner and it did wonders for making that grill guard look like it belongs.

 

Turbo

 

Do some light upgrades if you are off pavement at all. If not there are tons of useful things out there many of which are cheap. glove box & center console organizers, aftermarket head units, locking tailgates, locking gas caps etc... little things to keep you busy....one of the handiest mods I have ever made it changing the lights in the truck to leds and putting a red led into the passenger map light...super nice to have when someone wants a light at night as it doesn't destroy your night vision!
