Ive spent the last few years thoughtfully choosing components and upgrades and sometimes replacing things that didn't work out, like cheap suspension, stock gears ect.
This Truck has been to Baja but at speed to get their safely never have I "wheeled" this truck hard like a 20 year old kid would. Its been used as a tool not a toy although its kind of a fun toy.

($ 43,500 OBO) For Sale in South Orange County CA

The Truck 2013 4x4 Toyota Tundra access cab, 4.6 litter Auto Transmission 6 foot bed.
-128,000 miles (under for the sake of the add)

Upgrades controlled by SPOD-6 all are used except one switch.
Wired from engine bay too deleted sunglass case location via Driver side A-pillar.
Regeared to 4.88 and installed Eaton locker in rear. (performed by Premier West gears in Riverside Ca August of 2021) Switch # 6
Stedi LED lights spot / flood combo don't remember which model but as one aussie review says, "bright enough to read a Chinese take out menu from 4 Kms out" Switches 2 and 3.
Baja designs amber fog lights (the non road legal version) only off way high way use and they work very well. Switch # 1
Last switch is ran to GFC auxiliary lights (red and white set on dimmer for all doors and one inside. Switch # 4
One switch labeled winch but no winch installed but could be added to winch ready bumper. Switch # 5
LED Driving lights that I purchased from Toytec and are a huge difference over Halogen stock lights.

Transfer flow 46 gallon tank (one of my favorite upgrades ) which allows for about a 500+ mile range. This was fitted by a manufacture approved installer in Las Vegas NV.
5 brand new 35 x 12.5 BF Goodrich KO2s mounted to 4 Fuel Revolver 18 inch wheels and one stock wheel which thanks to this forum fits in stock location and saved me from adding a rear swing out and unneeded weight.
King shocks with reservoir, coil overs and Deaver leaf springs were done after I ruined cheaper lift kit and finished build. Basically the truck holds its weight when loaded with cargo and fuel.
AFE air filter (CA Smog approved) its been smog tested several times now and I have the carb # that allows smog cert.

Aluminess front winch bumper (aluminum, black powder coated, ready for winch) I had this custom made with bull bar but without light brackets which I felt were unnecessary and looked really lame.
RCI front skid and transmission skid both aluminum to save weight. Transmission armor plate squeaked for a year until I watched the right Youtube video and added $ 3 worth of rubber washers and the noise never came back!
Demello bolt through rock sliders powder coated and steal because its not a rock slider if its aluminum :)
Bush wacker fender flares

In back GFC V1 XL camper with side entry and rear entry. Hinges were upgraded last year under warranty by GFC in Montana. This is the better Aluminum welded frame IMHO.
I was going to buy a goose gear rear seat delete because nobody sits back there ever. This is one of my other favorite upgrades that I did on my own with plywood non slip black paint and some insulation with use of stock bolt mounts. (I do not have stock seats anymore) Refrigerator is not included but gives perspective of just how much room is here. Typically if we are dry camping this where we put water so that weight is more forward and also things like bedding and clothes that you want out of the elements.
Had to replace my Transmission in 2021 which was my inspiration to re-gear and put the truck back closer to stock shift points with bigger tires and take pressure of my newly installed rebuilt transmission. (3 year warranty on transmission is transferrable to buyer)
Decked Drawer system. This is a key improvement which keeps camping organized and also it really makes side doors of camper more useable since you can reach stuff easier on top of decked drawer system than if it was down lower with out drawers.

Thx for looking!

Did that AFE Intake do anything noticeable for you? Power, MPG?
I wouldn't have any big expectations. The Best thing is that you have a cleanable filter which comes in handy... just pull it out at any point and clean it out really good and your not throwing away paper filters, but I wouldn't expect ever getting better than 13 MPG once you have a Tundra with big tires and gear.
The Venturi in the air intake makes kind of cool noise if your into that kinda of thing.

Thanks, that’s kinda the sense I’ve had, but just thought I’d ask.
GLWS!

what helped actually a little was the re gear too 4.88
but honestly Ive noticed even better improvement running my BFGs at recommended tire pressure instead of the typical 30-35 PSI they do at the tire shop for ride quality. No science but I really think that increased tire pressure gained me 1 MPG Running 65 PSI unless I go off road then ill leave at 35 PSI then go down from their on the trail to 18 or so.
