What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

flat ground is great for MPG's.

 

This. And relatively low elevation. Back home with like 20 ft above sea level if that and flat I get way better gas mileage than out in Montana.

 

BFG ATs 32/11.5r15

 

What flat ground!? The drive from Missouri to Northeast Texas is in no way flat until you get passed Little Rock, AR. 350 miles of very hilly driving at 65 and I averaged 19 without calculating for larger tires.

 

Ah I know. Well when that day comes I will be sure to do it. I remember seeing some other member putting a 5 speed in his 4 door. It was pretty awesome to say the least

 

SafetyDang I believe

 

Progress on the bumper has exceeded my expectations




Looked like this yesterday morning...

 

I've driven through Missouri probably 10 times now, those are little mounds compared to what you see out west.

I did manage to get 6mpg one time driving through there in a 5.4L F250 pulling an enormous enclosed trailer. I was pretty proud of that one.

 

Yup thats him

 

If you call the hills in the Branson, MO and Harrison, AR small mounds then I do not want to go west! Only being able to go 55 up hill at 3000 rpms is pretty steep to me...

 

New grille right?

Looks good.

No more of that broken-front-teeth-redneck look.

 

oh dang that is pretty steep, never been through that part of Missouri, just up through Joplin then through st louis.

 

Oh yeah, it's not too bad through there. It's just southern Missouri south of Springfield to Little Rock.

 

I might have to try that...I've been a picture framer for 20+ years, so I'm pretty handy with a razor blade myself Thanks for the tip!

 

Stripped and then traced out the lines where I will be cutting to make my half doors. Need to color match them. The design some kind of soft windows.

 

I get that mileage doing 65-70 and 55 on back roads My last tank was 313 miles when the light came on.

 

all this talk about getting those miles per gallon makes me sad.. i average 16mpg.. i need to change my plugs and wires

 

Don't. I get like 8-10

 

well you pretty much have another truck in the bed of yours

 

True.....haha
