    Did my 90k oil change. Everyone knows what that looks like. I let the oil pan drain for awhile. I put in 8 qts and it just barely passes the first hole on the dipstick after running it for a few minutes. I'll add another 1/2 qt tomorrow.

    Well, given lack of instructions, an hour or two. Maybe more because I had to spend time surfing web for info.
    One thing, regarding the yellow snap in clips. When removing and reinstalling Do Not leave clips on car side if they come off. If you do when you secure radio they fly off landing in dash never land. Remove them and clip to radio first.
    There is one usb connection I haven't figured out yet. It's a female usb 3 on back of radio just below row of connectors.

    The supercharger install is finished and I have.about 200 miles since the install. Around town and small amounts of highway.....all I can say even with my freshly installed Icon wheels and 37" Ridge Grapplers the stock 4.30 gearing the truck is truly a new animal. No more gear hunting or shifting at highway speeds. Light pushing on the go pedal the truck drives completely normal except it accelerates into traffic easily and confidently. Went from BFG's 37x12.5/17's on the plus 35 offset wheels to Icon 18x9 wheels with plus 25 offset with new Ridge Graps in 37x11.5/18, Now getting some rubbing which will be addressed with some cutting and plastic rearranging in the front wheel well. Also swapped in the OEM TRD PRO LED headlights for a darker tinted look which I think looks great. After driving a now SC truck Im not sure how I did it all these years with out a SC. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence. Worth Ever penny. Supercharger installed @ 63500 miles. IMG_5771.jpg

    So awesome! Sounds like the SC might be worth the cost?

    Pretty sure it’s a spare… @Red-Barn did you try hooking anything up to it like a phone (to see if it can charge) or a USB stick with some songs on it (data)?

    JELLY! Looks awesome, and I'm sure it drives like a dream. I miss my boosted Taco often, and can only imagine how the Tundra is.

    Not tested yet. Have usb cable connected though. They have several usb cables for specific purposes. One usb 3 keeps stock usb alive on lower panel, one usb c is dedicated to android auto, one usb 3 is for whatever, the forth is a usb c jack on back of unit I'm not sure of a specific purpose, yet

    Last little project of the weekend completed. Installed the wireless phone charger and reupholstered the dash. The heat was causing mine to shrink and peel up. Of note… I have worked on things as large as chinooks and then small robotics at my current job but one thing that i don’t ever want to do again is that center console cover even if it only cost me 30 bucks. lol

    Finally got my 5100s installed. Top setting with one inch shackles in the back. Just a little bit of rake. Now need some bigger tires. Thinking 295/70/18s.

    Also swapped in my sequoias old front sway bar that was replaced with the TRD bar on my wife’s rig.

    Finally installed the Rago dash mount. Pretty straightforward and I’m happy with the result. Only concern is night time reflection from the blue LEDs from the charger… but I’ll give it some time before changing anything.

    Looks good!

    I have mine wired up too and the reflection is not too bad. The light isn't very bright.

    Love to hear that! Waiting on some mounts to fill it out too. Glad to have a use for that weird space.

    Dang it! I bought one but when I went to install it, I couldn't find it. Gotta find it, then find time to install.

    Added a TUWA rack for my tent after installing a BAK Revolver X4ST tonneau cover. Keeping my Diamondback cover for winter. It was hard to get stuff out of the truck bed with the tent on that cover. The BAk Revolver gives me easier access to the bed when camping. Should take more pics but feeling lazy right now! Lol!

    I think this one is pretty good and looks better in armrest as rectangular shape matches better than a round charger plus a pixel 8 pro phone fits perfectly. Cable is long enough to route to back of console, down the back and forward across the bottom and up to stock usb port at front of console. You just need to drill one hole that device will cover up if you lay it out just right. The flat cable is about as thick as height of ridges in armrest and space between ridges is perfect for 3 pieces of double sticky backed tape.

    Did you add any Shackles to the rear? Coachbuilder+2 will give you a little over an inch or drop the 5100's down one setting
