    Hey guys,

    I have a 17 Platinum and have added the following mods.

    fox 2.5 coilovers
    Rims/tires
    AMP auto step
    Recon Lights front/back
    Custom Bumper with light bars fog lights
    Camper shell / Yakima Basket for cargo
    TRD Cold Air Intake
    LED pack interior
    Fender Flares

    Goal: a bad ass ride out in the woods that is powerful and functional.

    so... next? I’m thinking the Magnuson SC, Decked cargo system for bed and I’m done?

    I tow a 6500 lb dry Camp Trailer in the summer and even though I’m supposed to be rated for 8000, it is not ideal but I don’t want a new truck. Will the SC help and make my truck the truck of my dreams?

    oh yea, I have scratched the shit out of my paint driving through sage brush in the dessert hunting and would love a wrap or better paint job at some point.

    Keeping this thing forever

    What size are your wheels/ tires?
    I’m going to guess your truck is 4x4 and that’s why the tow rating is slightly lower than something like my 2wd CM. Am I correct?
    After you mentioned the 8k towing max, you said “it is not ideal.” Can you elaborate?

    It is slow to pull up hill and takes a long time to accelerate. Lack of power

    Adam: linex looks like exactly what I have been looking for and it looks like there is a place close to home that does it. I’ll be checking into that for sure. Going to get the supercharger next month. I’ll update pictures

    Yea, you have to do it. If you want, you can throw one on mine as well and we can keep a journal on our experiences.
