Yotawerx just released dyno charts on their tune for Doug Thorley LT headers; Stock 2UZ; 216 HP / 250 TQ +DTH/Y-Pipe; 226 HP / 265 TQ (+10 HP, +15 TQ) +DTH/Y-pipe/LT Tune; 249 HP / 297 TQ (+33 HP, +47 TQ) Impressive numbers I can only verify via butt dyno, as I have this setup. Drives...

If I recall the ARB weighs about 60-80 lbs more than the Ironman bumper. The mounting reinforcement is better, twice as thick, and it has built in recovery points. This is a case where you do get what you pay for. The LFD bumper on my last GX mounted similarly to the Ironman, and it bent my...

I have a R4T rear bumper and a bison gear tailgate tire mount. I had a dual swingout bumper on my last GX and hated it. Would not buy one again. Makes it a pain in the ass to get to your cargo area. Also the prices are absurd for one of those, you don't get much out of it that you can't get...

It adds up quick if you're buying quality stuff (ARB/Dobs/etc.). Not the least bit shocked, that honestly sounds cheap for a full build

If you think a Ridgeline is comparable to a Tundra, I’d also add that you’re an idiot.

Yes, we're talking about trucks in the American sense. Comparing a Honda Ridgeline to a Tundra is silly and your scruples are questionable at best. Having exterior cargo space does not make a vehicle a truck in the American sense. The Ridgeline is closer to a Highlander with a big open trunk...

All the above are unibody. Like I said, they don’t make trucks and they barely make SUVs.

The pinnacle of perfect truck to me is an 01-04 Tundra SR5 long bed, reg cab, 4x4 v8, automatic, in white. I had one with 330k on it. It’s the only vehicle in a long list that I regret selling.

Honda doesn’t make trucks, they barely make SUVs. The GM 350 is okay, the trucks they go in are mostly garbage.

Reliability isn't a category we were debating. We're in a Toyota/Lexus sub-forum... While we are on the topic though, I do find it humorous that Toyota not only managed to build the most reliable truck ever, but they built it right here in the US utilizing non-UAW labor. I'm not anti-union...

I ran a full OME lift on my Tundra, standard OME springs, no extra leaf in rear. I was just over 9000 lbs total weight, fully loaded. That was on a reg cab, long bed. It had 1-1.5" of rake which is ideal for a pickup. I ran about 50-60 PSI in the airbags to level it out when loaded with a...

Get airbags. You'll never do any serious off roading with a FWC; Turn-buckles start popping, and the clearance is terrible.

I can't say with experience, as I'd never buy their stuff in the first place, but the differences I see are cheesy marketing/branding, perpetual year round "20% off sales", and seemingly cheaper materials. Not exactly a Harbor Freight business model, but not far off. I didn't know they crash...

ARB is the only solid choice IMO. Had one on my ‘10 Tundra and it was a beefcake. Rated to 15k lbs if I recall, and they have better frame reinforcement than any other bumper manufacturer.

You'll get terrible mileage towing in any vehicle at real highway speeds (70-80MPH). In the video they are clearly doign ~75 MPH. 12.4 MPG is better than I would expect. 24.2 MPG is also higher than I would expect, not towing, even with an I4. 4 cylinder or not, it's still shaped like a brick.
