    I forgot to add the overland tune. I feel it’s a game changer.

    If I skipped songs trying to turn down the volume one more time, I would’ve smashed the head unit

    I have done a bunch of stuff big and small but the OTT tune is absolutely the best - I noticed a difference immediately. I thought I was just going to pick an option and that would be it - but know I ended up filling out a lengthy questionnaire about my driving habits and what I wanted - it didn't hurt that I had a nice discussion with the tuner guy as well. Bottom line my truck drives great.

    The first thing I noticed right away was no more gear hunting! that was worth the $450 right there but also pedal response and a peppier truck.
    I am just guessing on this but this is my theory (so probably total BS): I think Toyota maps the computer to get optimum MPG vs optimum performance.
    OTT can remap it along a whole range depending on what the the truck owner wants from the truck and the driving conditions - do you have bigger tires than stock - do you carry a lot of extra weight (armor RTT etc.) - do you go off road, a lot - are you a mall crawler - spend lots of time on the Interstate - live where it's mostly flat or is it hilly - do you lean towards conservative driving and consider MPG or MPG be damned etc. etc. My truck is tuned specifically for my truck and for me and how and where I drive.

    Damn - OTT should hire me in sales.

    Love everything I’ve done but the Goose Gear setup is my favorite. Makes my truck so much more usable. 2nd favorite is my suspension upgrade.

    I really want to do this to my truck, but I only want it on the 60 side of the 60/40 back seat. Have a kiddo, need at least one seat (though I bet she'd be stoked if I just strapped her to the roof!).
