    Super excited ... I’m already on a trip wandering around the country!

    Ordered my aluminum retrax powerpro xr, Contemplating which of the rack systems to put on top. Think I wanna hardshell rooftop tent and it looks like if I use the Yakima overhaul HD SETUP it’s no problem and if I use the others the tent casing will hang off the back of the truck it seems. Anyone one have a ceiling garage hoist system to store they’d recomend?

    I got to say I’m pretty disappointed with the sound. I love the CarPlay don’t get me wrong, I feel like I’m lacking substance of the output though. Any upgrade suggestions? I went to a couple retail places won’t give me a $7000 estimate to replace speakers, one told me to take it by the dealer that the 2020s are reporting issues with wiring and that’s why the sound is weak ...

    Little surprise at the Michelin tires, but once I’m done wandering from coast to coast center north and south, I’ll replace those. I had one Toyota dealer parts guy tell me to leave the suspension & lift alone. I had a different line tell me you have a put a 2 inch lift and some BFG’s on it giving me probably another inch or so. Of course, I was gonna look at Toyos And will be in every terrain/climate, so I’ll take my time picking those: please don’t hesitate to send advise and experience my way!

    Have I mentioned the supercharger option? I was told I could get a 550 hp & that the software has been updated/fixed so the Magnuson supercharger works well with the 2020 tundra as of September this year. Besides worse fuel economy, does the supercharger have any impact on Off-roading?

    I’m considering my power source, don’t know if I want to install another battery, inverter or just try to use solar panels or idk.

    Again, any suggestions or pros and cons to some of my dreams would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome from Colorado. You found the best forum for what answers you are seeking. Pics of that Pro!
    FYI.....our tunny stereo's are notoriously weak....even the JBL "upgrade" .

    My hope was to go up into BC and drive all the way across to Niagara Falls, which I’ve never been to and then back down. But we’re not allowed yet as a USA citizen fir now … Hopefully next summer!
