I would like to see some of the accesories you can add on. I would like to see what all you can add on from Toyota directly. The pictures in the brochure are nice, but actual video with the bennifits of the add on would be great.

Anything to do with getting better gas mileage

oh c'mon... it's a 5.7 V-8. What did you expect. I used to have a 4 cylender Dodge Dakota back from 98-2004. Trust me... you can't ever convince me to substitute power for gas mileage ever again. Come to think of it, I didn't get very good gas mileage with it. There is nothing worse than having to hit the breaks to get back behind someone on the highway because you pedal is to th medal, and an incovenient hill caused your truck to meet the max speed you got. This is before I ever had to tow anything.

That's cool Matt. I was watching you guys the other day. It would be cool to see a crew cab lifted with bigger tires and maybe see you guys install the fog lights that Toyota forgot to add. lol PLEASE!!! keep us in the loop as to when it will air. I would like to watch and tape it. THANKS!!!

How about adding stuff to make it an even better towing/work truck. Airbags, Trailer Brake controller, or anything that will help with both towing and hauling in the bed of the truck.

Maybe some power adders, I installed a Volant CAI on mine this weekend and would like to see some real numbers versus my seat of the pants analysis. My father-in-law put a Corsa dual exhaust system on his Tundra a few weeks ago. Amazing system with great sound and no Cabin Drone!

I've been thinking about painting my door handles and mirrors to match the body. How about a little "how-to" on painting small body parts.

Just some ideas to throw out there!

Hey Matt, I'd be interested in seeing you install new upper control arms. I have the Donahoe racing coilovers and want to install some Total Chaos UCA's. Also, like anyone would want, anyway to unleash some more power, and it would be nice to see some different styles of wheels that offer the 5 on 150 bolt pattern these trucks have.

Thanks DUDE!! You and Bruno are the best...EVER!!

Ricky Bobby · 05-28-2008, 12:34 PM

Bump!! What's going on with the Tundra episode Matt?

buckstom · 05-29-2008, 06:57 PM

I used to watch all those car shows on Speed but they've turned into just 30 minute commercials. Not much substance except the products you are selling.

Snowball3 · 05-29-2008, 07:08 PM

speed is nothing but nascar. what happened to all the great shows that were on there? that channel sucks bad. i think they need to just drop the channel. just keep wendy venturini and krista voda on there somewhere.
