    I'm running 5.29's and it made a big difference. It still needs to downshift out of OD for most hills, but has way more power in third. Gone are the days of having to downshift into 2nd. Around town and on the trails it feels like a different truck.

    I was looking for a manual transmission truck when I stumbled upon this.
    The auto was nice during off-road and the small truck was perfect for the tighter sections.
    It did really well with open diffs.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Very disappointed with this piece of junk. Everything about it has been horrible. Would I buy another one? Yes

    I need to look into that. I thought I saw a thread on it but I wasn’t sure if that would work on my truck.

    I have a 4 cylinder and I want to use a bracket for the single ARB compressor but it's for the 6 cyl. I moved the air pump to make room for the bracket and compressor. I still need to lengthen the wire for the pump, come up with a solution for the hose and some minor tweaking.

    Not really. Then again I've been constantly changing my setup. I've had the truck for almost three years and have put just shy of 19k miles on it, for an average of 17.7 MPG. I only use it for off road adventures (I hate the term "Overlanding"), so all the trail miles drag it down. Unless a trail is nothing but a 4 low kind of trail, I see 10-14 MPG on the trail and 18-20 MPG on the highway getting to the trail and coming home. I'm also that guy in the slow lane only doing 60-65MPH.

    I like the "Taquito". A co-worker calls my truck the tiny-Tundra. I was thinking about mounting the compressor on the driver side inner fender but I have a fuse/relay box that is going there and it's going to be tight.
