Hey everyone, We just finished dyno testing our new front mount intercooler for the 2024+ Tacoma, and wanted to share some real numbers and context with you all. This test was done on a stock truck with only our intercooler installed — no intake, no tune. The goal was to isolate what the intercooler alone can do. We used 4th gear on the 10-speed auto, which meant we had to feather the throttle below 4K RPM to avoid kickdown, so the low-end numbers are a bit skewed. But above 4K, the results were extremely consistent and repeatable. Here’s what we saw comparing OE vs SXTH intercooler: Peak power jumped from 248.6 hp to 264.1 hp (+15.5 hp) Peak torque increased from 288.6 lb-ft to 303 lb-ft (+14.4 lb-ft) Midrange output was noticeably stronger across every run Even in worst-case comparisons, our core outperformed factory We’re seeing lower intake temps across the board thanks to: A bar and plate core with 45% more volume Lower pressure drop (1.5 psi vs 2.4 psi stock) Up to 50°F lower temps at the turbo outlet and 12°F lower post-intercooler It’s a direct bolt-on, retains all OEM sensors and components (including grille shutters), and doesn’t require a tune. It’s also compatible with the 2025+ 4Runner and 2024+ Land Cruiser LC250.

TRD Pro OEM Rocker Protectors for sale. I recently replaced the factory installed Rocker Protectors on my TRD Pro with Westcott Design's rock sliders. The truck only had 300 city miles on it when I replaced them, so they are in pristine / perfect condition. I only replaced them as I wanted WD's 0-degree w/top plates sliders installed to double as a step, but truth be told the OEM Rocker Protectors offered a much more cleaner and sleeker look. I also replaced the factory tires at the same time (i.e. 265/70/18 GoodYear Wrangler Territory RT tires), so those are basically brand-new as well. I plan to post those for sale on a separate thread.

Below is a link to the Rocker Protectors on Toyota's site - it retails for $525, I'm asking $400. I'm in the Phoenix area for pick up (and willing to ship at the buyer's expense). Again, they are in perfect condition and includes the hardware for easy install. Please PM me if you're interested. Thank you!
