CREW Toyota Tacoma/4Runner/Land Cruiser/Tundra/FJ crew. Let's get a thread going

[Platinum_Thunder]

that could look good. GF seems dead set on matching the paint though

What about KING CRAB ORANGE?

 

[herpes]

TRD Pro grill installed. Didn't like the green letters i put on it because they didn't match so i took them off. View attachment 156711 View attachment 156712

those holes in the bumper hurt my heart

Yeah taking of the front plate mount and seeing those I was not happy. Gonna have to source a replacement but for that.

Any tacoma (or other) owners have any experience with the Sprint Booster? One of the things I don't like about my tacoma is the sluggish acceleration, which this thing appears to completely fix. Seems to be a dirt simple installation and pretty simple to use as well.

Hmm so it's like a pedal commander

Yep. The guy in the video has another one where he briefly mentions that the only reason he went with Sprint Booster vs Peddle Commander was that there were reports of Peddle Commander causing engine warning lights. I don't know any of the details other than that.

homedepot/lowes/amazon has some plastic plugs that will make it look better for $0.99

Or just floor it into some water and watch your entire valance get ripped off

I think the OV tune is the highest recommended option. If I still had my '16 limited when it came out I would have tried it.

I remember that being and issue when I was on the forums.

I was just watching this video. He's of course very biased toward Sprint Booster, but it's interesting.

does that tune invalidate the warranty?

 

[I<3URANUS]

does that tune invalidate the warranty?

It's my understanding that the tune is undetectable. How that's possible, I dunno but I've seen first hand some pretty amazing things via tunes so I can see it being possible. You on Tacomaworld? If so read the thread about it. You should be able to fine it via Google search pretty easily.

nah i need to get on there, i'm only on ih8mud. we've only put 100 miles on the truck, but yeah the throttle delay is pretty bad so i want to so something soon.

I just ordered the Sprint Booster. I'll post my impressions when I install it. I'm not a gearhead, but the install on this thing is literally plug and play.

I had completely forgotten the disappointment I had early in my tacoma ownership when I needed to cross traffic quickly from a stop, and felt like a geriatric trying to get out of an easy chair. Just spent a year away from home, and getting reacquainted with the taco it hit home again that this shit sucks. Stumbled on the Sprint Booster video, and it looks like an elegant solution to a poorly designed (or intentionally retarded) system. Fingers crossed

Keep the group posted. I'd be interested in knowing the outcome.


As for the bolded, yeah, that's just Toyota being Toyota and tuning the car to make them look good (mpg) and not caring about customer satisfaction.

My old 4th gen 4Runner is overdue for low/high beam replacements, what's the hotness bulb replacement? Mine has reflectors not projectors.

Probably something from the retrofit source

Thanks - looking around it seems like anything non-yellow isn't street legal for me I was hoping to keep it under 5000k but most everything is 5500k+ and the site is telling me for vehicles w/ plates it's not street legal

I don't want to be obnoxiously bright, but I want white/cooler lights vs oem yellow.

Uhh cops probably don't give a shit unless Washington is really gay.

I'd say I don't really care what the cop has to say, I care more about being an asshole and blinding other drivers. I don't want to cause any accidents Would 5500k do that? I just don't know

Color temp isn't going to blind people. As long as they're designed right and aimed properly it should not be a problem.
