I bought a 2010 Tundra. I Drove the Fords and Dodges but no comparison. My question is how long does it take for after market manufactures to come up with 2010 parts?. Toyota changed the hood a little but just enough that an 09 chrome hood protector will not quite fit. I'm also In the market for a different grill as the black just does not do It for me.

If you have a good mechanic install a quality kit you'll see little or no impact to your vehicle. As for the problems with the Nittos, I feel your pain. They look cool as hell but they're problematic (had a set myself once before).

I like the idea of the 35"tires the truck makes the 33s look small.Is there a simple soultion to puting the 35s on the truck?

I would suggest the aFe over the K&N simply because the aFe goes together a little better, but the K&N isn't bad. Good power, nice enough to do the job...just make sure you get the clamps tight and then make sure you double-check them after a day or two. Sam – I like that list.

Performance is first on my list tryin not to go over $600. I was thing about puttin a 77 series K&N cold air intake into it and some JBA Headers, anyone disagree? Let me know your opinion. i just bought a 2006 Tundra (my first car) looking to do mods. Performance is first on my list tryin not to go over $600.

My sticker states 20mpg on hwy. I now get from 19-23mpg on how I drive. I got as much as 24.9mpg's on a 300+ mile trip from West Palm Beach to Jacksonville. It hit 25mpg twice but couldn't maintain it as I went over overpasses. You just have to have control and drive 55mph on cruise to do that. Premium gas didn't make much a difference to help out in all the tests I ran already so using just 87 octane was good enough. I've notice ethanol doesn't help but to compensate if I can't find no ethanol then I'm force to use ethanol in premium gas. It works out for some reason. I have over 50,750 miles on mine and I got it in July 07. I put in an AFE Stage II CAI and I use Borla ProXS complete duels. My sticker states 20mpg on hwy. I now get from 19-23mpg on how I drive.

As far as voiding factory warenty their arn't many mods that do. If you really want to see awsome performance do this, Cold air intake, thorley headers, flow master 40's or the super 44's if you want it louder;) use 2.5 piping for the exhast it will give you nice back pressure for the 5.7L engine. And if you want get a ram air hood. And now you will be pumping max stock horsies. If you happen to do all these mods and add a supercharger please put up a youtube video.
