I have only put the timimg cover one one at this point. It's a nice vinyl decal. I'll let you know about the others when I put them on.

All this talk of stickers reminds me of something, Jim...
Now that you have a TRD part on your truck, you can put on those other TRD decals...

elnip, does your clutch slip at all?

Jayson, I think I will save those for you!

In fact, dont' be surprised if you come out one morning and they are on your 4Runner

I haven't had clutch problems at all. I have a Centerforce in there now cuz warranty had my tranny rebuilt (not S/C related) and the dealer covered labor to put in a new clutch.

How many miles do you have on your rig?

Just under 60k, I know it shouldn't be bad at that mileage. But I have always driven sort of "spirited".

Now when I am in 3rd or 4th at about 2000-2500 rpms and I try to go into boost it slips, no other time. It's like the clutch just can't hold the power. From a stop it's fine.

That is when your torque is starting to peak so that makes sense.
Better plan for a new clutch now and save yourself the greif. When I saw my stock clutch come out(at 58K), you could tell that I had had some fun with it!

I was just up there for the Labor day weekend hangin' with friends and a few of the TTORA-NM guys. We should get together! I have just received my Zainos stuff and I know you and ALPM and loosehead are gurus on that stuff.
I know of a few S/C's up there and I will be more than happy to hook you up with the crowd! Looks like another trip is in order!
Ever come down to Cruces?

the truck is white. I could really use the help. Paint is not in too bad of shape but it sits outside and my cottonwood loves to drewl all over it!

Well it sure looks from my side that I am in good hands on this!!

I don't think I will have a problem furnishing the required quantities of frosty cold beverage to get this kicked off!

Then we all go and get them dirty!
