welcome to TN thats a pretty cool colection of cars youve got, sounds like lots of fun. whats the rear seat angle mod you did to the tundra? if you are looking for more towing power there is a supercharger available for yur engine, that would be pretty tight

The Tundra is fine on the power side, I just hauled a full load over the sierras with no problems. Only towing issue is rear suspension, probably do some air bags on that.

The rear seat angle mod is pretty easy. The bottom of the seat is attached to the seat back.

Those are bolted to the back of the cab at the bottom of the seat back, the apex of the back and bottom.

You just use some sway bar bushings (about 1" thick) and new bolts (M8s I think, don't remember)

Pull the old bolt out, pull the seat away from the cab, slip in the bushing and put in a new bolt.

I found I had to then put towels under the seat bottom, becuase it lifted it up a bit, and I didn't want to break the frame.

Took away about 2" of leg room, but the rear angle is much better now. More comfy.
