Rolling in prime camping season.

 

Its been a while since I checked in here. You guys look like you've been having some fun. I gotta get out there with you guys.

Those of you with 3rd gens, have you guys thought about a tune? I've been looking into them a bit to freshen things up and think that KDMax seems to be widely used and proven. The closest installers are about 4 hours drive from Pittsburgh, but was thinking if a few of us were interested one of the installers might come out to Pittsburgh to knock out a few trucks. Wanted to put out a feeler before asking them if someone would be interested. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/kdmax-pro-tune-by-paparee-and-twtaco.713699/

Seems like it'd be around $400, but maybe a group discount if there are enough trucks? Looks like their installers all have their own business that do this and met some criteria for KDMax to use them as installers. Looks like their customer support is the best there is for this stuff.

Most seem to be reporting better throttle response, better drivability, and picking up 1-3mpg. Even trucks armored and big tires. Gears, no gears, MT, AT, CAI, stock intake, 87-94 octane self learning.

Dyno Charts from previous 6.0 tune they have done earlier 2021. The most recent tune builds on this and people that have had 6.0 and moved to the latest Pro tune have commented on improvements, especially in smoothness.

Check it out and let me know if you think you'd be interested. I'll find out if someone would be willing to come to Pittsburgh to do this.

 

I am the authorized KDMax tuner for the Pittsburgh area! Shoot me a pm if for further details!

 

I am getting a tune as soon as my new wheels/tires arrive for my 22 TRD sport M/T. Being a former WRX guy - I know a tune completely changes the game. And I should wait to get tuned until I put my 32"s on.

Ill shoot you a DM then, xxgodly

 

Hey! Yall still doing stuff? I am in the pittsburgh area. New to overlanding and just bought a taco.

 

Oh. This looks interesting.

Is this still an active thread?

Lemme introduce myself.

 

Hey and welcome. We can make it active.

 

Clean truck.

@Armyhater458 trout season is right around the corner....you get that taco fixed yet?

 

Also would like to Introduce myself and get this thread going again. Used to wheel my 3rd gen 4runner a bit but haven't had anything since then worth taking in the woods until now.



I'm more into the exploring and scenery these days instead of rock crawling

 

Yessir, heading up to smethport for the youth opener. Found a spot over the winter in ANF I might try for the opening day.

 

We’ll be camping in ANF for opening weekend.

Probably hit one or two blue lines looking for natives to avoid the bucket truck chasers.

 

Prob wont be up that weekend, but will most likely be up the weekends after that. not really keen on fishing elbow to elbow. worst case scenario i know a couple of small streams that hold natives.

 

Welcome!

 

Any of you nerds have a 2nd gen chrome rear bumper for sale?

 

If your ever up this way again, hit me up...

 

Looking for a 16 inch 2nd or 3rd gen spare wheel if anyone has one laying around. Trying to make a set of 5 so I can put one on my spare tire carrier!

 

There was a cheap set on marketplace I saw a while back.

 

They might be the set of 4 I bought haha
