    The icon front bumps helped the front end from nose diving when braking, too.

    I went to the BirdDawg website and it gave me an aneurysm. It looks like it was designed before the Gen2.

    They are the manufacturers of the BirdDawg Tacoma Tech Deck that Shellshock has for sale. I was curious and was hoping for pictures. Instead I lost the use of my left side.

    This sounds like what happened to me the first time I saw a Girls' Generation video. The guy working with me at the time was probably very puzzled. Eventually, I snapped out of it and finished hanging that light fixture.

    The afe silver bullet. Not sure what it increases other than a hwhistling noise at high rpm's.

    Yes. The included bolt fits the existing hole. You bolt the top plate on then push the bump into the top plate.
    It goes in pretty solid. I needed a screwdriver and some grease to pop it in.

    Patience for a 14 hr drive is a different level of patience I don't have.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    It increases whistling noises. No improvement to power, performance, or fuel economy.

    Now.... The intake plennum spacer is a different story....
