Uhh, 110 does our leaf just fine overnight, but that’s with like 35 miles driven each day for work.

 

Total battery capacity is lower on a Leaf so charge times would be less. Blanket statements made previously about charge times are incorrect because total battery capacity used might not exceed the 110v charging offerings. Each drive cycle is different and can create differing charge requirements. For optimal charging in all conditions a high amp 220v plug should be installed, but not required for everyone or every EV.

Everyone commenting might want to read up on battery chemistry types your vehicle is using and weather you need to have 100% SOC every time.

 

I'd recommend an RD168

 

Do whatever version of that story leaves you with a spare.

 

What about an RD142?


Pretty sold on just swapping in an 80 series axle at this point. So I'll require some of your expertise here shortly.

 

I’ve always been a fan of the BR549 myself.

 

Tell me more about the exhaust re-route. My housemate noticed this on his 2020 and I mentioned that people had solutions for moving it away from the exhaust crossover being so low hanging.

 

There are at least 2 options to re-route that keeps it tucked up above frame. Plenty of pics out there, although the shop you go to may have a preference to one way over another. Some put heat wrap on it after before putting the armor on.

 

Are there pre-made options are are most people just going to an exhaust shop to have one fabricated?

 

Yep. I've looked into a lot of options, and I don't think it's possible to beat for the price. Full float, disc brakes, 9.5" diff.

Not sure it would be wide enough for you guys with newer trucks though.

 

Ah, yeah, all that electronic BS. My truck doesn't even have ABS.

At least you have bolt in options from currie and dynatrac.

 

I too would like to know who people from the springs go to for the reroute that doesnt break the bank?

 

@JasonLee this is a pic from @literallynothing truck that he had done a couple weeks ago. He had it done in Loveland which is where I’ll go. There are a bunch of folks who have gone to a shop in Englewood, I believe. I can’t remember what shop, others can chime in. This allows a smooth underbelly with the trans skid.

 

A A Performance Muffler & Brakes

 

@JasonLee No pics, but this is pretty much what mine looks like. No kit, the shop just fabbed up what was needed. I had mine done at Exhaust Pros on Huron in, I think that stretch is Thornton or Northglenn. The guy that did it said he's done it on a bunch of Tacos and other Toyotas.

 

Here is the re-route they did on my truck.

 

Anybody use these guys?

He did built the down pipe for my cruiser. All mandrel bends and stainless. Very high quality but also wasn’t cheap.

 

the 2020 looks like this OEM... I think

 

Yup, cost me around $75 I believe

 

I got the munchies, thinking about the drive thru at McDs, might order the McGangbang.
Just to see what happens.
