    Did you have to re-arrange your pre lunch and post lunch nap? I get it man, retirement life is tough. Figuring out what NOT to do each day can be exhausting!

    I'm looking at tires as well. Hoping the 265/70/17 KO3 in load range C shows up soon.

    Truck drives great without it. A little bit of body roll was to be expected but it's really not bad. I think the beefy front coils help a lot.

    Adder a shifter leather cover for summer/winter temps (too hot/cold). It is stitched on so it will not come off when shifting.

    Got a really late start on the move plus having to take a detour took us almost 5 hours instead of the two were used to. Knew if a great spot that’s U-Haul and trailer friendly. So we camped there for the night.

    Extended the AC Drain tube so it's not dripping on top of the frame rail anymore.

    Got the DT Rocky Mountain tires on saturday. Had a wobble in the steering wheel.....went back and had them re-balanced this afternoon. No help with the wobble. Decided to move into a Goodyear Wrangler AT/S and DT said no charge to upgrade. Smooth as butter driving home and no wobble. Very happy with DT. Good folks!

    Congrats. What made you pick the Magnuson brand over the Procharger?

    Had one in my 2000 Tacoma. Zero issues during 10 years of ownership.
    Fast forward to 6 months ago. I was lucky enough to drive a 23’ 4R with the Magnuson. Between the much needed boost when merging/passing it was that beautiful whine that sold me.

    I hear ya, I went from a 2015 duramax 2500 Chevy to this 2021 4runner. Its painful. I used to idle up the hills at 80 MPH. Now I'm screaming for more HP up hill especially with the camper. Good luck, let us know how it works out.

    Took a claybar to the bugs on the bumper today, then ended up continuing on and cleaned the entire vehicle!:D Then I finally got around to putting on the black valances. The rear wasn't so bad, but, the front sucked. Some of those clips were not easy to get to, let alone getting them out.

    Not keen on where I placed the license plate, but, it'll have to do for now until I can figure out something better.

    I had my license plate in a similar spot while figuring out a better solution. My ATF temp went up I am assuming from decreased air flow to radiator/transmission cooler. My transmission cooler is located behind where you have the plate.

    Mine came W/front plate mount. We don't have front plates in Pa. You could probably buy one from local dealer or online.

    That was my biggest concern about the placement as well. Hopefully I can rig up something better soon.

    Oh, I have the front plate mount already. They're required here in MO, so, it came with it when I bought it. I just don't want to put holes in the new Valance is all. If I can't think of another way I'll go ahead and just reinstall the plate mount.

    Just got the suspension, wheels and tires done. Such an improvement from its stock form. Went with the Bilstein 6112/5160 set up at 2.6” up front and the 1.5” standard duty springs in the rear. Not going to be adding much weight other than sliders and aluminum RCI Skids. Also upgraded the bump stops all the way around with Superbumps from Wheelers Off-Road. Wheels are OEM TRD Pro 17” with Falken Wildpeak AT4 255/80/17’s.

    why bother? I haven't run the front plate yet. With all the cars with expired plates, no plates, especially Tesla with no front plates, who cares....

    Sadly, I know some people who have been pulled over around here for not running a front plate. I figure I'll just err on the side of caution.

    Many moons ago I was pulled over for having the front plate up on the dash instead of installed at the front. Got a ticket for it too, not just a warning.

    I was just looking into cleaning the ac stuff as mine is smelly when I first turn it on occasionally and now I will make sure I do this while doing so so I'll be able to access it more easily anytime I have to do the cleaning. Thank you for sharing

    I also live in Missouri and have been driving my '23 OR with no front plate since I purchased it in 2022. No tickets received yet, and no comments about it from my neighbor who is a police officer.
