    Hey Guys,

    I have a 2012 Tacoma with the TDR package. Firstly, I am no mechanic, sure I can tweak the basic stuff but any significant changes.. my truck will be heading to the shop to be done properly. I would like to upgrade some stuff on the truck and am looking for advice. Needs: bigger towing capacity, lift, winch, tires, power. I have a large boat and it meets the exact max. towing weight on my truck, pulling up any steep boat launches is a struggle. I have heard I can put a chip on my truck for an increase in HP, Torque, can you recommend any particular chips? If you have done these mods to your truck can you give me a ballpark for cost + install? Any other mods you would make as a first step please don't hesitate to mention. I do a lot of camping / dirtbiking / offroading but still need this to be a daily driver in the city so nothing to crazy. Thanks!:cool:

    I don't think chips for our tacomas do much regarding power, but I may be wrong. Generally, supercharging is the only way to go to get a decent amount of power.
