    Gears will help more honestly. With the sc it'll be freaking awesome. But my dad boosted his and added all sorts of shit and after we regeared it holy mother of god.

    And when I regeared...damn.

    If you have to sit on the charger for a bit. Do it. Gears help more in the long run IMO.

    :D I'll send a pm when I can! This guy ain't gonna sell these rtts anytime soon.
    Nice! Good luck with that, you can pull what he did and just keep it off till you get the 7th kit. As long as the s/c is yours.

    You try using power etc? Do you have a trd. Apparently it helps around city driving and can help mileage

    Edit: Forgot, I measured the hub to fender and looks like the taco lean leveled out a bit. Sitting at 24" on driver and 24.25" on passenger.

    It only hurts mileage when you're on like the highway or gassing it.
    I mean it makes sense to use around city driving, stopping at lights frequently. It's good for quick takeoffs

    Where did you get your LEDs? Are they the bulb shape ones that you just install normally?

    Hmm didn't realize that.. so if i go w/ the 5vz i wouldn't need a new transmission.. Although I'm kind of expecting to have to change it out soon anyways. I think you have convinced me.. Will i have to regear if i get the 5vz? (planning on getting 33's soon after the engine swap.)
