    I honestly don't know but the odd thing is that some of the reviews on the 4runner lifestyle site say these blink 3 times and Stay solid. The one I purchased from the same website doesn't blink. It's stays solid and is very bright. It also has an extra wire that can be tapped into the reverse light and act as a 3rd reverse light. I just zip tied the additional wire and tucked it into the hole since I didn't feel like tapping anything or running the wire. Too cold for that but maybe I'll revisit in the summer time. I know in my state any flashing or blinking red light is for emergency vehicles only. Regardless, I've seen plenty with it.

    @SnakeDoc I definitely notice the throttle response difference. I will update once I put more miles on the tune. But it feels more responsive and peppy.

    I’m curious why Toyota didn’t establish this set up to begin with. As there is no free lunch, I wonder what the sacrifice is? Longevity, emissions, efficiency (oil consumption, mpg)? I do find it interesting that the Limited 2020 I test drove (dealer had a low mileage, used on the lot at the time I decided to buy) felt sluggish, where as my 2022 ORP does not. Wonder if it’s bad memory or if there is some difference between years? The Limited one I test drive was the first 4Runner I’d ever been in, and mine was the 2nd the day I picked it up (4 months later).

    These form a while ago, i dont think i ever posted them, anyhoo its clean-ish now lmao.
    up date on the Alp Halo 11 head unit... works perfectly, loads of data avaliable and a HUGE NO, it will not affect the AC (reroute "close" the vents) the corner vents work phenomenally. From all the way down in the armpit of South Texas (i can say that) born-n- raised in RGV- colonia scissors to central texas/NM/AL/TN/OK n GA, cool as a cucumber if the windows were ever rolled up lol

    Got the spare down possibly the first time in the 4Runner's 13-year life. The hoist using a chain instead of a steel cable probably made it less prone to seizure from rust:

    The spare tire was holding about 20 psi. I pumped it up to 34.

    Installed some Morimoto headlights today. It actually took alot longer than the 15 minute videos out there. Took 2 hours with 2 people. I guess I'm just not mechanically inclined. I screwed up on adjusting the lights properly. My driveway is not leveled and flat.

    Yesterday (Sunday), I got around to putting some KTJO 4x4 door bowl lights in. This was more of a chore than it should have been. The door panels themselves were the biggest issue. I've never taken the door panels off in my 4Runner before. I took them off my Taco (when I still had it) several times. I thought it would be just as easy.

    Nah.

    4Runner door panels require a wee bit more finesse (at least for me). The back panels for whatever reason gave me the biggest headache. But I finally got everything back together, and I'm happy with the end results. These lights have a remote so you can cycle through different light colors. I have the MESO overhead lights (which I normally keep on red) and red VLEDS footwell lights. So I'm gonna try and keep a red theme going here lol.

    As others have ran these tunes before and I have experience with the tune for 2019 Tacoma, I have not seen or heard of any long-term downside (you may drive it more aggressively (skinny pedal) and see decreased mpg LOL). My thoughts are Toyota programs the OEM settings for mpg and smoothness/quietness of the ride, to give the user the sense of quality in the overall driver experience.
    I plan to run 91 octane on next fill up to experience the full increase in power and torque. Granted this is not like adding significant power (forced induction), but it is noticeably different from the "seat-o-the-pants" dynamometer!

    is it tuned for regular 83 octane?
    I'm on the fence of getting it. I don't have a lot of weight but the 285/70 tires, ughhh, its nice but also ughhh lol.

    The KDMAX 9.0 tune is octane learning. They recommend you run your tank down pretty low and then fill up.

    My 2c
    Same same mine ran with a lil more burn. Not a giant umph but to me... noticeable. Ran a few tanks and then noticed mpg was not up to snuff. Went back to 91 mpg gains slightly for me from 10ish to 14ish. Also it is DIRTITTIES! I wouldn't trashing all together tho there's a use for it every now and then. ie when needing a lil more gurgle when towing perherpes
