PTR0334079 TRD FLOW ACCELATO V8
MSRP $18.33
iG price $13.22

SH $10


It is spec'd for the 5.7 . It's just a simple 'velocity stack' that replaces the oe version feeding air from the fender area to the intake box. nothing special. :)

Left, OE (4")
RIght, TRD (6")

Don't think that will work with the 4.0. Thanks for the pic as I knew they were cheap enough to give a shot and I thought it may have been a similar set up. I'll fab something up. Just thought I could save some time.

No worries, jon!! If it were me, I'd fab up a Safari Snorkel.. the best IFA out there!

I just didn't want to hack up the Tundra and melt a 200 Series Snorkel to her yet.. :)

^ Geolandar A/T-S 315/70 (34.6")


EDIT - scratch that... A/T-S are impossible to come by in 315/70-17.. So , I opted for:

^ 35x12.50 M/T+ :mrgreen:

Installed the OME front coils and struts tonight. The results? Perfect. As expected. ;)

OME Dakar rear leafs and Nitrocharger shocks to come later to complete the kit.

ARB Sahara Bar installed

Postby Chris » Thu Sep 08, 2011 3:37 am

Installed the ARB Sahara bar & fogs today. Excellent fit and finish.

A HUGE thanks to Jon and Dave for stopping out and getting things done professionally. We even read the directions. ;)


I'll take some pictures tomorrow in the daylight. Still need to finish up some small bits.

Re: Rubber ordered..... or WAS it?

Postby Chris » Thu Sep 08, 2011 3:44 am

Well, the rubber WAS ordered... but good 'ol Discount Tire sold me tires they didn't have in stock... Thanks DT! I haven't used them in years and figured I've give them another chance... :axechase:

With NO ETA in sight... I am reconsidering my options. I believe the next logical choice for me is a 35x12.50 Geolandar M/T+. Tire Rack has them in stock but they are a bit more expensive than the A/T-S. ($188 vs. $255)

However, they are 2 lb lighters. (61 vs. 63). So with the addition of the RW Wheels and M/T+ tires, I'll only increase the wheel and tire combination overall weight +4 lb per corner.

I'm still not sure yet. I wanted to go with the A/T-S on the Tundra. But, perhaps this can be an eye opener for folks who underestimate the road characteristics and longevity of the M/T+ Geolandar. I figure I will at least get 30,000 miles. My goal is to potentially see 40,000+ miles. The A/T-S is good for that and then some. Tradeoffs.. Everything has them. The M/T+ is a kick ass tire.... me thinks I'm going this route...

To be continued...

^^^ :lol:



I ended up ordering the M/T+ in 35x12.50. Should be here next week. I'll keep the 18" TRD and BFG A/T for long distance if needed. I believe I will take this time to powder coat the TRD 18" wheels Matte Black.
