Just go the truck yesterday for what I believe is a really good price, after some extensive research.  Sure it has some shortcomings but the plus items outweight.  I am a Toyota man, but the Titan is head and shoulders about the Tundra in amenities, price, power.   

nterested in doing some mods in the form of: Banks system as I am "hearing" there is a very nice increase in MPG.  True, untrue?

Buchwacker extendafender.  Used these on my Tacoma. They are hard plactic, not to bad to install, and look good, but very expensive for just some molded plactic.  Anyone done this yet, problems with install, best price location?

Finally, I always add a Bugflector II to my vehicles.  Have any good luck.  Best price found so far is $60 with free shipping.  Anyone find better or not happy with this product.  Thanks

On the Banks exhaust - NO increase in mileage for me, yes HP, but no milage! I got the same with the stock set-up as I did with the Volant intake and Banks exhaust: 16.5-16.8 HWY.

Here is my install and comments:

Added the Bushwacker fender flares.  They go on very easy, I only had to change one hole location.  Easiest if you remove the wheels.  Mud flaps and side badges must come off. Badge glue is a pain. I plan to modify the mud flaps, or perhaps find a set from a Frontier which have flares and mud flaps, to add that item back on.  Also added the AVS bug shield.

Do the bug shields really work for deflecting bugs or is it more of a styling thing? Or is it just to protect the front of the hood?

I was always curious about that.
