I hope you get caught wasting that money. That is Fraud, Waste, and abuse. You should know how serious this is.

I'm not military, but my first job included a relocation package. They gave me a lump sum to use for movers or pocket it and move myself. I bought a Cannondale Scalpel and moved my meager college belongings by myself.

Are the throws actually shorter or does it just stiffen it up? I guess I'm just wondering if it is worth it as an effective part or is it just another TRD expensive stupid part?

It doesn't change the lockout it's still the factory one, and it's a 30% reduction so yeah it's nice and it won't be stiff for long it just hasn't been ran through the gears yet so it still has the super tight bushing grommet until it gets worked in a little.

Fog lights $490
TRD performance cat back exhaust $1100
TRD performance air intake $475
Wheel locks $67
TRD alloy wheels $1040
TRD sway bars $450
TRD quick shift $195
OEM reference audio system $1500+
Michelin pilot super sport tires $1050+

If the TRD lowering spring was available would have got those too. Next will be TRD front strut tower bar ( mmmmm carbon fiber ) and aluminum drive shaft ( carbon fiber way to expensive )

That totals more than 5k but you get my point LOL

A set dollar amount is allocated for every military move regardless of how much stuff you have. They either pay a moving company that amount to do everything for you, or they pay you, or they pay a percentage to both. The more of your own shit you package and move across the country the more they pay you and the less they pay the movers. There is also legitimate ways to add to the amount to cover either housing closing costs, security deposits etc. Moving every few years can be extremely expensive and stressful.
Rant complete.

The funniest thing about KyleGato's rant is that most people that complain about "paying a lot of taxes" are the same type to gobble every military knob they see in any environment.

Not only has his rant confused me, but also made me laugh.

What does that even mean? By the way I don't care anymore, lol.

I'm somewhat glad to see these parts hit the market. It seems to potentially debunk some of the more extreme concerns people were mentioning in the thread about Twin Variant Sales.

I can't wait to finish my project car so I can free up the money to get some of these Toys!!

There is probably a whole bunch of TRD USA specific parts sitting in warehouses not released yet. But Scion USA first wants to release a TRD Edition to make everyone trade in theirs for it (just like the Monograms) and 6 months later finally open the TRD parts to the public.
