    I've had a Sprint Booster for 2 years now. Absolutely zero issues. I had read about a few problems with the Pedal Commander and passed on that. When I discovered the SB, I could not find one complaint or issue about it. No regrets and I'd buy it again. Super easy to program and has a valet mode.

    Factory size are 265, the spare would be the same size unless you bought used and someone swapped it.

    Push the gas a little, 4R goes a little. No more of that push-the-gas-1/2-way before it goes.

    In other words, throttle response. I hated pressing the gas "that far" to get the response I was looking for while merging. The Sprint Booster program allowed me to set the response to my liking. It won't give you more power, but your right foot will be happier.

    When I took it for the test ride, I programmed RACE9, just to see what that was like. Simply touching the gas a teeny-tiny bit felt like I had floored it. Was a Holy S%$T moment. I now have it set to Sport2.

    What's the brand of the grill lights? I installed a set of Seven Sparta grill lights on my daughter's '23 TRD ORP, and have a set on my '23 Limited (different styles), both with smoked lenses. One can hardly tell they're in the grill until they come on, which is only when the headlights are on. I ran a bead of silicone around the base of the lenses, so water couldn't get into them. I'm hoping they'll last a good long time, but?

    Ah, so since you replaced the DRLs with another set of headlights, your Raptor-style lights are on all the time? I wouldn't expect them to wear out like that after seven months, but having them on all the time probably didn't help. But you'd think LED chips would last thousands of hours?

    After having our new born my 4Runner is only doing short trips. So those LED chips should only have few duty hours. This 4Runner only got 20K miles ODO as of today. Didn't expect it to go bad this quick.

    Thanks! Ordered it from taco vinyl. I tried finding the link but it wouldn’t work. Seems like a good quality product and has 3M adhesive. Hoping it lasts!

    I had an OTT last fall. Wondering what would happen if I installed the SB as well...hmmm. The OTT does great in 1st and 2nd, but beyond that, for me, it still hunts for gears and needs LOTS of pedal manipulation to get it to downshift when in the 40-50mph range. Only solution is to 'reset' by removing foot from pedal for reapplication and tranny will respond in kind with a lower gear easily. Otherwise, heavy pedal travel until gear download. Oh well, I think I just need to reflash the ECU back to stock and try the SB. Will advise.

    Hmm good to know, I din know about SB before buying PC, but honestly guys my PC has been rock solid and I don't experience the issues ya'll mention. But sure I believe it. Not enough to switch to SB, that's for sure. There's gotta be folks with complaints about SB too.

    I had a KD-Tune 1 1/2 years after the Sprint Booster was installed. I haven't had any issues at all. The 4R downshifts at the pedal position I expect it to. No more keep-pushing-the-pedal to get it to downshift. Just a reasonable burp of the pedal and into 4th (or 3rd) gear we go.
