That’s a wild increase in peak torque. I’d be very concerned with overstressing the entire bottom end and the trans, and honestly even the top end. That turbo must be doing a LOT of work that low in the rev range. What do you think your margin to the surge line is? Mind sharing wastegate duty...

I’m taking the leap of faith and just ordered the custom tune + cobb intake from you. Do you know why Toyota would tune it to run lean in the “torque” region? Purely for emissions reasons? I’d love to nerd out with you a bit over PM or something.

…..so a Sequoia?

Performance is great which makes it even more frustrating. I have them dialed up to 6 and the handling is awesome. Down at 1 they’re more comfortable than stock but seem to have a bit less body roll

Gave her a nice wash yesterday and put ceramic coating on the wheels. I figure if I’m doing white wheels I have to do it right. I swore to myself that I was going to keep her minty for a while but the light scratches from brush are already starting to pile up 🤣. It’s so fucking easy to scratch...

Title. I want to mount a pair of Baja LP6 on my grille but I’m not feeling any of the aftermarket bumper options right now. Can anyone with a behind-the-grille light kit speak to how easy it would be to extend or modify the brackets to hold a light out front?

+100hp and +6”’of suspension travel to go compete with the Raptors

I’m a mechanical engineer. Started my career in semiconductors and now I’m on to something else.

Going to get even more retro when the rock sliders come in. Deciding which color to paint them. (AI render)

I traded in a 4th gen for a 17 Wrangler JKUR. I was attracted to the performance (solid axles with lockers baby!), being able to take the top off, the 6spd manual, and the vibes. It was an emotional purchase. When the transmission went out at 18k miles I started to regret it. It was about to...

As much as you might hate it, I recommend using ChatGPT or another model of your choice for creating renders. I have dozens and dozens of AI renders that I created before settling on this. It helped a ton.

The 3.2s are the only bypass shock currently available for the 6th gens as far as I know, other than the IEM TRD Pro suspension. They were like $800 more for the set than then 2.5 PES so it made it a no brainer IMO. The other option that could be really interesting was the Icon adaptive kit...

Plenty of clearance for the 3.2s to both the control arms and from the resi to the wheel. I had a bit of rubbing on the resi with the stock wheels at full lock so going to 0 offset was definitely the right move.

Might as well start a thread here. Bring the hate. I picked my 26 OR in June and drove it across the country to move for a new job. The plan was to leave it stock for a while, but then I took it on some trails which revealed some deficiencies. So here we are. I previously owned a 4th gen...

Wheels / Tires: - Fifteen52 Turbomac HD wheels - 285/70r17 Duratrac tires, E rated. - I’ll probably paint the centercaps to match the body. Suspension: - Fox FRS 3.2 See full build thread w/ more details at...
