    What triggered the need to replace the bushings?

    Did you follow a guide for replacement?

    I'm on 37's - steering rack was visually moving way more than it should and would pop as if it was shifting on hard turning. There is a thread on replacing them without completely removing the rack with very good info - it's just tedious and minimal room to work. Every bolt and hard line is just in the right place to make it very difficult but not impossible.

    That’s the recommended minimum from the manufacturer. Under that, you could damage the bag. If it’s too deflated, you’re basically driving with no bump stops.

    For me, it was well worth the investment. Now it may be over-exaggerated because I had 75,000 miles on my factory Limited shocks, and they were on their last legs, but I think it’s a BIG difference both on and off-road. Barely feel washboard, or even bigger, bumps, on the forestry roads I drive, and with the steering kit, the steering wheel hardly moves during suspension travel (haven’t gotten too aggressive with it…yet :D). I like the fact that the TRD Fox shocks were specifically built and tuned for the Tundra, and you can send them to Fox to have them rebuilt.

    Thanks, not sure if you saw my post but I just bought Pro wheels/tires/fox suspension for $1700 and was debating reselling or installing on my limited. I’m leaning towards installing all the PRO parts & keeping the TRD off-road parts as spares.

    Oh yeah…the DEAL OF THE YEAR!! YES! Put them bad boys on that Limited! You could probably get decent coin for those OR shocks (though admittedly not as much as the Pro Fox shocks).

    This is the new 13” unit.

    Love it so far!

    Have a few small things that I need to reach out about but great so far and about half the price of other horizontal units available.

    Looks good - typically only one way for those to fit in the housings. Also, at least with my VLED reverse "bulbs" the bulb is petty uniform/symmetrical. So even if you could adjust the way it fits in the housing, youre probably going to get the same pattern due to the fact you're placing an LED in a halogen housing. If you need a more focused light pattern, there are the high dollar Baja Design, Cali Raised, Rigid, etc spot or flood lights you could tuck under your bumper, or find some cheapos on Amazon that will likely achieve the same thing for about $20.

    Believe it or not, I'm getting 16mpg hand calculated on regular basis with the supercharger, that's with 35s and normal driving, not just cruising at 45mph on country road.

    Interested to hear your thoughts on these once you receive and install them. I would like more visibility when towing our boat but don't have the room to install towing mirrors so this could be a nice trade off.

    17 here...but I drive like an old man. 60mph on hwy.

    my hypothesis is - we get the benefits of the intercooler & small amount of boost from spinning blower when in bypass.

    I was about to say the exact same thing for the exact same reason. Very interested in your thoughts after you receive and install them.

    I think during bypass we also run slightly leaner than stock, you oughta try 5.29s and lockers, just clocked another day 5.3s for 0-100kmh , which is about 4.9s for 0-60mph, if follow magazine stands and omit 0.2s roll out, that's solid mid 4s :)

    I like, I'm not a fan of tow mirrors, this is nice when towing camper.

    Agreed.

    They also have the version without turn signal which they have out for a long time, but I've been wanting the turn signal version.

    Today, I missed my Tundra. Got a Nissan Titan Pro-4X as a rental. Feels as big as the Tundy. The column shifter I thought I missed in my Tundra, turns out I don’t miss it. Unless you get a bench seat. Why does Nissan not believe in power steering? Heavy effort when parking in all vehicles. Interior buttons galore, very nicely appointed. Fake pleather seats suck. Rear E locker is awesome. Wouldn’t trade for one.

    I might make a dedicated for this.

    I've been holding off on my puddle light and door speaker install waiting for these.

    Also might sneak in a little Easter egg mod
