SXTH Element sent over their intake and after running it for a bit I can honestly say it’s a great upgrade over the factory setup. One of the first things I noticed was the improved airflow and a bit more throttle response. The truck just feels a little more eager when getting on the throttle, especially during acceleration, and overall it seems to breathe a lot better than it did with the stock air box. Another thing I really like about this intake is the sound. It adds a really nice intake tone without being obnoxious or over the top, and it gives the truck a much more aggressive feel while driving. I attached a video below so you can hear how it sounds. Overall I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a small performance upgrade, or honestly even just for the sound alone because it really makes the truck more fun to drive. https://sxthelement.com/products/toyota-tacoma-n400-cplt-intake (these are screenshots from an Install video I made on my Instagram) I don't have any photos of the intake currently.

Dirt King is working on a bunch of 4G products. This is one of them, their (I believe), aluminum connector skid plate. Replaces the dinky factory one. Looks super seamless and a simple install.

You can also see their performance lower control arm in the background.

Win a set of their new suspension they're about to drop! Check out - https://dkgiveaway.com/
