Nice... That black will definitely rhyme with the orange... Orange was my thing and still is on my other Toy... When I finish the Chevy I’m gonna redo or sell my Tundra...2dc9d7d2eea401544e6b0487475fd326.jpge4f9b114bfed43f33d2af04aa4e84e4d.jpgbb8c385a950f5c319cc271bfb2812b34.jpgd162e8a1192fbb5db41638645511c990.jpg598b442f8efd0bfd84990a01b4cd38fd.jpge2e8619300b8f700d96e65663a1936f2.jpg

Lol... I’ve had that Tundra for almost 10 years & she’s been like that for 9 of them... That’s my Day One right there... She was my kid before I had kids... As for time, It ain’t enough of it Bruh...

Couldn’t sell my Blackhawk K&N CAI after my blower install for what I wanted to get for it so I improvised... Had the heat shield painted and use it along with the Blackhawk filter & adapter. I added a MAF adapter kit with a couple new clamps and VIOLA... I now have my growl and suction sound back along with my boost whine/whistle...461b896e36935a0818dafede2c72da9b.jpgbd76304ccf1ca44fc9c06e250541675b.jpg

It really doesn’t make sense to have to go through so much just to upgrade a battery... Especially, when you’re swapping a perfectly functional battery... Smh ??‍♂️ But... it’s done... So many added electronics needing to be powered so decided to go with the X2Power battery made by NorthStar from Batteries Plus & Bulbs... U can’t beat that 5 year swap warranty. Now both of my trucks have them.

Upgrading the battery for more electronics wont help much.  You need to be able to charge it.  Time to get an alternator now

Not sure if u’ve has any experience with these batteries but it does the trick without a alternator upgrade... There is a day and night diff between the x2 vs the factory battery... Had all lighting running all day (8hrs) during an indoor show and it fired right up and I left the show entertaining everyone with music bumpin and lights blinging on a 80 mike trip back home... if I increase my audio voltage I’ll look into an alternator but for now I’m good. I’ve had the same battery in my Tundra for over a year and it’s audio is triple what I have in the Silverado with the same result... No need to charge when it doesn’t drain...

Mostly Performance Upgrades such as Cam, Injectors, Dyno Tune, etc... but I may pause on the Chevy if I don’t sell my Tundra... If I don’t sell that then I will focus on that Toy for the next year or so... Thinking of going with a front end swap, new paint, mini lift with low pro muds...
