4th Gen Tacoma AJT Black Out Door Handles

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics. Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods. The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference. If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

I recently added these black out door handles by AJT to my Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Toyota honestly did a really good job about not adding ugly fake chrome door handles to this truck, so I was curious if these AJT handles were gonna look cheap since I liked the brushed metal OEM look. Tbh, I was surprised on how much I liked the all blacked out look. The handles were pretty solid and didn’t look cheap at all. I got them from YotaVerse. My code TRDJON10 saves you $$$
