Info on the TRD supercharger.
TRD supercharger
Toyota began selling a bolt-on TRD supercharger kit for the 5.7L V8 Tundra during June 2008. Power output is increased to 504 hp (376 kW) and 550 lb⋅ft (746 N⋅m) of torque. When the installation is carried out by a Toyota dealership the existing warranty remains intact.[47] This kit features Eaton's TVS Roots-type supercharger which utilizes twin four-lobe rotors, a design shared with the newly introduced Toyota TRD Aurion, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and Cadillac CTS-V.[48] TRD discontinued the TRD Supercharger in mid 2015, meaning that the 2015 model year is the last year that has an official TRD ECU reflash available.
Edmunds tested a TRD supercharged Tundra which completed the 1/4 mile in 13.3 sec at 103.8 mph (167.0 km/h).[49] Edmunds previously tested a naturally-aspirated 5.7L V8 Tundra which posted a 14.8 sec at 93.7 mph (150.8 km/h) time.[50] Motor Trend's test of the supercharged Tundra resulted in a 1/4 mile of 13.0 sec at 106.3 mph (171.1 km/h). This Tundra needed 4.4 seconds to run from 0-60 mph (97 km/h).[51]

By the time you pay for shipping on that Extreme Terrain grille, it'll probably come close to the price of the Amazon one.

$6 shipping with them.
I've made it a point to not buy from Amazon unless absolutely necessary.

I just saw an article on this. At the time it made it the fastest truck. It was a dealer option. Only something like 500 were done. They said the brakes needed to be bigger and even then it wasn’t enough.

The aftermarket ones run for about $8k ish. Figure the right deal could probably get one installed and tuned for $10k. I paid $12k for the truck. Lol

Front suspension still hadn't shown. Gave them a call. Apparently I was 1 of 2 people who placed an order before the website was updated and they were sold out. Manufacturer says July maybe before they can get more. So they are upgrading me to an icon set, free of charge, and shipping tomorrow.

That looks really good. Just gotta do something about those chrome bumpers, grille and lights and you'll be in a good place.

Apparently with the new skid plate angles to adjust for the diff drop, my front passenger tire now catches the skid on full lock left. Guess I will be doing some trimming.
