What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

fuel mileage went down w/ 285's and I felt there was more strain on the driveline...I need this truck to last a while since I have a kid almost in college $$$$$$$

 

you sure? Like them on the FJ's but on a taco..? Gotta see a front shot for sure

 

I want it to look bigger. For now tires rims and the lift and some cosmetic things

 

FabTech 3in spindle with AAL in the rear

 

Me personally I have 16" tires runnin the. 285 70 16" i believe I went with my rim width at like 7" for a longer tire just because I'm turning my truck in a truggy and dropping a LS2 and a lot lot lot of other work too. So with a bigger rim and wider tire you have better grounding but with a longer tire I just feel it's better for the speed on the road and desert it's all preference. If you want pm and I can shoot you over photos of my wife's 17" pro comp rims and tires which are 33" wide as fuck or my general graps that are longer.

 

I think it looks awesome!... Go for it!!

 

I'm not saying don't do it. Just different that's it. But I know exactly what you been trying to stand out from other tacos, that's why I bought my wife a set of bushwhackers for her dcsb I got a pic of it in my profile deff wanna see some pics when your done. I ended up doing this to mine . Im all for doing what ever I can to stand apart.


Wife's truck

 

Ordered rear seat weathertech liner. Bought a set used off a member a while back not realizing they were for an access cab so the rears don't fit perfect in my double cab. If anyone with an access cab is interested pm me.

 

How were you measuring MPG? Based on the Odometer, it will *appear* to go down because 285's throw your speedometer/odometer off about 4% which means your odometer registers less miles traveled than it would with stock tires. When I ran 285's and calibrated my scangauge for that difference I was getting the same MPG as with stock tires.

 

yielded for a senior pedestrian crossing, and she used my plate bumpers light hoops as a guide for her to cross the street kinda confused at first tho. Good to see this bumper having other good uses.

 

Picked up a topper. The fit and color isn't perfect, but the price was!

 

Will 2014 trd off road suspension bolt up to my 06 prerunner

 

yes

 

Thanks

 

>> she used my plate bumpers light hoops as a guide for her to cross the street

LOL! Mrs. Magoo.

 

Is this that Colorado cap that was on the Richmond Craigslist? if so that was a good deal!

 

You got it. Drove down this morning. $260 and he helped me put it on. It is about 1 to 2" too long, but it fits pretty snug. The drive home took about 3 hours with stops and when I got home there was only a little bit of water in the bed with all the rain we got. I saw that deal and had to pounce.

 

Replaced inboard cv boot!

 

Drank a shit tone of beer in my garage with my good buddy and stared at my truck. Still trying to save for tires so I can put my OME lift and Stealth custom wheels on.

 

Ordered these today!

Also retinted my third brake light. Tint is getting sun faded though. Looking for an aftermarket blacked out one but can't find one.
