    I vote everyone put superchargers on their Tacomas. That way it will be easier for me to find one used years from now.

    Boy do I love hearing the whine from those things. Your probably gonna have you foot in her for a while.

    No doubt! I've already been out to the garage to look at it 5 times! Going to drop it off Sunday night, so that they can start first thing in the am. Wife still thinks I only paid $3k for everything! And she's not that thrilled with that number! LOL

    Ok, my truck is sitting in the service drive waiting patiently for it's morning surgery! My buddy is the lead tech there, so he is going to install S/C, replace fluids with synthetic (been meaning to switch over from Dino oil but haven't yet), replace rear dif fluid (did my breather mod, but not before launching my Sea-Doos many times, submerging the rear end in the process) and double checking Whipper's and my install of the TRD exhaust (one of the bolts went in a little off). I left my digital camera and asked him to try and take a few pics of the install. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow, but told him not to rush on my account. Steve (my mechanic) has been with Toyota 25 years as a master tech and has done at least a dozen of these. Will post pics when I pick it up.
    BTW, I know that there are a lot of threads on this topic, but still can't help but to want to document my experience!
