Oh man, you are just scratching the surface here. Chris and Dave (and some others) will help push, er, motivate you to do some more mods, while myself :angel: may suggest a few things..ehhhmmm. ;)

I didn't see tailgate damper as one of the necessary mods in your good lineup there. Dave has a secret code he'll get you, as soon as he checks in here!! (eh eh eh).

I have almost the same setup as yours, except I just leveled mine @.75, have a MBRP exhuast and Livernois tune (91 Oct). Won't be doing the Raptor grill, but am doing the Mountains2Metal (.com) lower grill insert on the way. Already figured how I will do some "visual enhancement" work on it before mounting.

This is definitely (not going to be ) my last mod probably!!:idea:
Oh I know all about the damper, I’ll save that mod for last ?. Very nice set up you got, you lovin the tune?? I can’t get enough of it, I still take it easy, for the most part, but I almost crave when a lane turns in to one and I have to pass, just rockets me up ahead! Also, would you prefer the MBRP be a little more aggressive or do you like that it’s mild?

Mine has gotten a tad more deeper as it's broken in and actually has a better tone now. Still not anything like Honda Rice 'Racket ' noise. You'll notice it after a bit, that it's sound is way better than many that you'll hear on other vehicles or Rangers. But, that's just me, so no guarantees of happiness there :angel:

Yep, like how it "gits" when it has to "git"

That was my fear, trying to avoid the cheap sounding tin can loud sound, I was pleasantly surprised though with MBRP, affordable and decent tone, don’t know if it’s at all possible (likely in my head) but when you get on it with the tune, I feel like it’s now deeper and you can hear the turbo more. I don’t ever see myself getting tired of driving it!

I know this topic is a bit like beating a century old dead horse ? but how do you all feel about K&N drop in filters?? I know there’s groups who blindly follow K&N and put them on all their vehicles as it does give you a mild boost if strictly performance is what you’re after. But since joining here I sense that is a big no no, if we wanna take care of our turbo. Especially in the sandbox we live in.

I’m in flagstaff. Rangers only 2 months old but I take it exploring when my 4Runner is broken. Already has a dent on the skid plate
The color of yours has got to be my all time favorite, unique, stylish, and clean! ??

I don't have the sand/dirt/dust issues like you probably do, but I used an Aem drop in dry filter as a replacement. Assometer says it does make the engine perform a tad better (more flow):wink:

My friend, I think I’m ordering this tonight, been trying to read up on the AEM dry filter and all that I found were good reviews, wondering if here in the dust though it would allow more particles than the oem paper filters.

Three number roads are for cars. Try a few four number two tracks and report back.

I’m down in Maricopa and commute into Phoenix for work but I guess anything from Maricopa is a commute.

I'm in the same area. I should be back in Desert Ridge in around a month once the home remodel is done. Right now I'm in a RV park near Loop 101 and I-17.
