BamBeds Wheel Desk - Universal Compatibility With Your Steering Wheel

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.

Rad little product that BamBeds recently released. If you haven't heard of them before, they build many wood leveling, sleeping, and storage platforms.

This universal "desk" is made from bamboo, and it leverages against your steering wheel to provide a nice stable surface. It doesn't have any crazy weight capacity, limited by the steering wheel, not the board, but it can easily support a laptop or your lunch. I like it. I'm in my truck quite a bit and I'll likely just leave it in the backseat. Useful as a flat surface while camping too. Like a big plate haha.
