    I guess. That was my left side of my neck and shoulder, followed by the headache the next day. Well, woke up today and it's the right side of my neck and shoulder, so tomorrow might wind up being another migraine day.

    At least I'm off for a week starting tomorrow. Hope to get it lined out then.

    My wife sold her 4runner because she said driving it was the equalivent to a fat kid running uphill.

    Yeah, the only legit complaint I ever hear about 5G 4Runners is that they are underpowered. A regear and a supercharger helps, but they'll never be fast.

    You just wait
    You know, until it got real hot over by me I was pretty satisfied with the performance but once I started using the air it makes a surprisingly big difference on acceleration. I can't imagine what it would feel like with bigger tires and some heavy armor lol.

    I got the banks pedal monster for my wife's 4runner, makes a big difference. Probably not as much as an ott tune but you can adjust it on your own

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    This is a picture of a 5th gen gas pedal.

    maybe this one works faster.

    Or driving uphill. We have passes that we commonly go over that require 2-3k of feet in climbs. Those drives are what made her ultimately sell it.

    All the banks does is adjust throttle sensitivity. Basically it just pushes the gas harder for you. There's no actual gain, it's just like driving with a lead foot.

    All of that being said, I'm okay with it being slow. From what I have seen and experienced, being underpowered and reliability often go hand in hand, especially when talking about Toyotas. I'm not one of those people who thinks Toyota engineers make nothing but perfection and Toyotas can't be improved, but the majority of their engines (not referring to engines made within the past few years) seem to last quite a while, and the majority of those engines that last a while also are underpowered or adequate at best. I know there is evidence out there of adding power to these engines and they remain reliable but I would just rather leave it in its most reliable state rather than slap on some forced induction.

    No runny eggs? You're starting to sound like a 6 yr old.

    The end is near...

    What forms of payment are accepted to set up a recurring shipment of this wonderful elixir?
