    Hey Folks!
    New member and first time Tacoma owner. This truck has been awesome! I bought new '20 Tacoma TRD Off Road long bed in Quicksand with "tech" package in late 2019. So, I've had it a minute, added camper shell early on and made a few "easy" off-road trips with Mrs. Dawelda while completely stock. Even then this truck is impressive. Now I have added Toytec Boss (thanks Anthony!) suspension lift w/OME leafs, and bigger Toyo AT3 tires, and a10K winch and Body Armor bumper. Wants are: rock sliders, cold air intake, Borla exhaust and some sort of tuning.

    I joined because I need a resource for information and some support. I've already been reading the forum as an outsider and found it helpful.

    I will continue researching but, IF YOU ARE A TUNER in the Denver area, I am interested and would like to speak to you, PM me? Or, reply?

    Welcome man! As @Natetroknot mentioned (thanks!) I am a tuner in Denver. I own Colorado Toyota Tuning.

    He linked it but here are a bunch of reviews in my TW thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...nver-co-springs-front-range-mountains.698433/

    Most importantly though welcome to Tacomaworld! And the rabbit hole of mods that you will undoubtedly end up doing as a result of this site haha.

    I'll PM you!
    Cheers!

    Thanks also for the pm's regarding tuning. I'm gonna go for it!

    New question...
    Did some reading today and concerned over CAI and catback exhaust. I was going to do both, AFE and Borla respectively, but it doesn't seem help and mostly, might negatively effect performance. WTF?
    So, is the TRD intake and the TRD exhaust a possibility then? I want a little (not a lot) more sound regardless of power gains, but DEFINITELY do not want to lose power/torque.

    Or, will KD Max tune maximize AFE/Borla items? Thoughts?
