I have no problem with hills other than the occasional shift down one gear. Even towing a 1600lb trailer I have little problem on hills and there are serious hills where I live.You don't mention whether you have an auto or standard. My 5 speed is very good. I've driven autos and they do like to down...

So...lots of posts on how great these are immediately after installing them...How are people finding these after a year or two of using them? Especially when they are cold in the winter?ThanksTim

Good to hear it freed the motor up a bit. Do you have an Auto or 5 speed? Have you had any issues or heard of any issues with battery charging or AC operation? I suspect if the pulley ratios have that big an impact without any downside, that Toyota would be using them stock as these should increase ...

Does the original belt still work? What improvements did you notice?Thanks

Thanks for the welcome can-awd-vibe. You live near... I have searched and read everything though much of it is a couple years old so I was wondering about current quality.Thanks meistees.

I'm very surprised to see the low MPG that people are reporting but since many of the threads are regarding performance I guess I'm not shocked. I suspect power and performance are the first considerations of most. I've tracked my mileage a dozen times or so on my 2005 base/5speed and haven't gotten...

This popup is just under 12' long and 8' wide so is not one of the smallest out there. I've seen some about 30% smaller and lighter. Also seen some that are absolutely stupidly huge. It's 19' long when open so it sleeps 6, has a 3 burner stove that can be used inside or outside, icebox cooler, small...

Thanks for the welcome...Photo of Vibe and Trailer. Yep "pop up" indeed.Tim
