:caution:

just got a 2006 tacoma 4dr 4x4 6' bed. first week rock hit windshield sent line from one side to the other but was below eye sight. two months later driving down interstate and hit very large piece of rubber on the road. It jumped up underneath my truck and broke my gas line.this truck has no protection for the gas line right in front of the gas tank.It also jumped up and slaped the left tail light and busted the bottom of the tail light. all this happened at 3am on the interstate in the rain. I did not see the tire laied out across the road until I was on top of it.called toyota about the danger of the gas line not being protected and they should be proactive about recalling this truck to put some kind of protection or skid plate over the gas line in this area for safty purposes and declinde to do so. Anyway I took the breather hose from my 650 honda rinco 4x4 and 2 paper clips and rigged the gas line to get me the rest of the way home ( 100 miles ). So I hope all the bad things that is going to happen is over.. you people with those 2006 tacomas watch out for your gas lines getting broken very easley....

 

Welcome to TW. Sorry about your luck.

 

welcome to tw......hopefully your luck will start looking up, but thanks for the headsup!!! where in sc are you??

 

in york s.c. thanks I also hope all the bad is over...lol

 

sweet!!! im in rock hill now.....but i lived in york until 2 years ago(basically, for 26 years) when i got married!!! my mom and stepdad and grandpa still live there.

 

I would like to know what is the best mod to increase my fuel mileage.. if anybody can tell me please.

 

Abstinence.

 

a few different things really.....keep air in tires adjusted properly, then the stuff that gets costly.........synthetic oil(although, when motor gets broke in, mileage will get better), intake, exhaust, a urd maf calibrator(underdogracing.com),a scangauge 2 will probably be good too.....just to name a few!!

 

thanks I will look that up.

 

Less pressure from your right foot.

 

My windshield witch is 3 years old has taken some prety brutal hits from road debris by Washington trucks with no flairs and i only have a tiny 2mm chip in the glass and
Dude you ran over a semi-tire not a piece of rubber. Thanks for the caution

 

what do you think a semi's tire is made of ????? granite???

like the guy said....his was a string of bad luck!!! if you aint got nothing constructive to say.......keep it shut!!

 

So the fuel line on your truck is on your windshield? If not, what does your statement have to do with his fuel line issue?

 

My favourite mod for conserving gas Is actually going through the hassle of unloading my tools out the bed at weeksend and then loading thim back up after the weekend, every little bit counts!

 

smart ass


would have been better if you said to have sex with your wife at home and stop driving around looking for hookers.

 

I've found a lot of good info on this guy's site. He seems to have the appropriate qualifications to make the claims he does and he provides disclaimers when he's talking outside of his area of expertise.

What about an eco 2 vpe? Those seem to have good results.
