    I want that, but budgetary concerns are stopping me at this point.

    A few questions.
    1) What does a tune cost? Specifically for a 2018 4Runner.
    2) Do you do the tune while I wait? I am 'puter challenged and cannot do this myself.
    3) How long does a tune take to install?
    4) Can I still run 87 octane without issues?
    5) Will a Sprint Booster cause issues?
    6) Will running 85 octane cause issues? I travel through Colorado twice a year and use 85 octane at altitude.
    I'm sure to have other questions but don't know what to ask....yet.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I have the KDMax in my truck. IIRC, it was about $400. They do it while you wait, including any Toyota TSB updates, took less than a half hour. You can run whatever octane you want. I believe a Sprint Booster isn't a problem, but you won't need it.

    I couldn't be happier with the tune. On top of how much better the engine runs, the Trans shifts so much more logically.

    I'll send you a PM with answers to your questions later this afternoon or evening...Thanks for your interest. You won't be disappointed if you decide to go with the tune, and there is a satisfaction guarantee, so I will flash you back to stock if, for some reason, you don't like it. But you will.

    That's what I'm here for, the mods and the gear.
    Be our parts/food mobile.

    I want a MK19 (orange tipped) mounted on that! Think there's a paintball one that fires a 40mm which then explodes into pellets.

    If you need recommendations on a front bumper let us know.

    I'm partial to C4 Fabrication and Relentless Fab for second gens.

    I’ll still send you a PM, but need to know if you have a 2 or 4 wheel drive.
