When we first moved into our current house--about 10 years ago--we had a really bad mouse infestation problem due to the previous owners having lots of pets and lots of pet food available. After about 2 years of trapping and poisoning, we haven't had a problem since. Having a neighbor's cat...
The truck doesn't accelerate as if it has a supercharger (which costs about $8000), but there seems to be a bit more power when you punch it. The overall driveability of the truck is where I see and feel the difference, and it's fantastic.
The installer claimed that the installation of the tune was NOT detectable by Toyota. Not sure what they would do if they could detect it. Don't really care--for now.
2021, but that KDMAX "tune" is ONLY available for 3rd Gen V6 Tacomas. Not cheap, $400.00, but worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Only wish I had done it sooner.
Drove the truck over to Denver and had a KDMAX tune installed. OMG, what a world of difference. The transmission shifts like a real vehicle now. Really smooth shifts and NO MORE seeking between 4th, 5th and 6th. Worth every penny!
The only snow we saw was at the 3-point corner about 1/4 way down the shale section from the top. Didn't impede our progress.
There were a couple of cars (not trucks/SUVs) parked at the top of the pass. Had to have been driven up from 550, as they wouldn't have been able to traverse the shale...
Drove over Ophir Pass Wednesday. Great fun and spectacular views. The shale portion of the trail was MUCH rougher than I remembered, just had to take it slow.
Yesterday we attempted to drive "Old Lime Creek Road" in Southern Colorado from the South end to the North end (it bypasses Coal Bank Pass on hwy 550). FAIL! Too early in the season, and after we had driven 3/4 of the way (9 miles? out of 12), we encountered way too much drift snow that we...
Mr. Noveske, please do us a favor and let us know how your speaker swap turned out, and if it was good, then please add a link to your writeup on TW. Of course, if the operation was not successful, we need to know that too. Thanks in advance.
I'm going to follow this thread as I have the JBL in our truck and I sure feel that Toyota has done a really poor job with the speakers. We also have a Lexus RX350 with the Mark Levinson sound system, which sounds fantastic in comparison. I know Toyota doesn't wish to mess up Lexus sales by...
Sure, I've done a number of trails. Some on 18 Road and some in the Loma area. Really great trails, but quite a ways for me to drive as I'm South of GJ in Whitewater. Also, at 73 y.o., I don't do many of the tougher trails any more as crashing hurts much more than it used to. I still have a...
Drove to Fruita for pizza at the Hot Tomato. Surprised that Fruita still has a "Takeout Only" policy for all restaurants. A bit chilly for eating outside, but the pizza was fantastic.
