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

you're still not factoring your tire size odometer corrections, if you drive 65 mph on a flat surface for 60 miles you might get close to 18-19 but you said drive like hell. thats not cruising like a grandpa in the slow lane.

Factor in spirited city driving and you'll be lucky to see 14 mpg. LOL

I drive 60 miles to and from work daily as well but my freeways have a few hills and I def do not drive in the slower lanes.

33x 12.50/15 :







285/75/16:

 

Would an Ultragauge factor in the additional tire size or is it "only for stock height?"

 

Lol yea but which would you rather have better mpg or a badass taco like you have?

 

Calculations are best done with a gps and calculating percentages after a few tanks to determine your average full to empty odometer numbers then factor in the mpg loss for larger and heavier tires.

 

I get 16-18 mpg average no matter what and thats fine. I drive like I need to poop.

I do city and freeway mixed.

 

Rebuilt my manual hubs this morning
Sorry no pics while taking hubs apart
hands and fingers filled with grease

 

I'm going to come and steal your SAS, I'll be nice and convert yours back to IFS

 

Yea I think I almost got 16mpgs one time..

My thoughts exactly.. An under axle setup would be tight man do it!

 

What if he changed out the speedometer gear? 28 tooth spedo gear and 33s and it's close to dead on.

With careful driving on summer gas, I can still pull over 20 every tank with my fully armored truck on 295s.

 

I was getting 20mpg at first, then tires and winter gas screwed me and now I average 16.5.

Did this today. Thanks for the inspiration guys.

 

Dont steal mine i paid so much for it but you can break in to Trailgears and take whatever u want there is no serveiliance cams

 

LOL!! No way man, I'm too chicken to steal shit..lol

 

What mod is this? Resonator removal and ??? Benefit???

 

I feel bad in a way. I'm getting about 22-25 mpg but I'm bone stock for now. Guess I should enjoy it while I can till I do some upgrades and stuff.

Speaking of which anyone tried these on there 3.4 tacoma?

 

I do this and generally only get 15 sometimes 16. 265/75r16 m/ts

 

Toyota engines like stock OEM NGK or Denso plugs from the dealer only.

E3 are garbage.

 

Exactly, it all depends on the driver too, I do not baby the throttle or shift under 2k rpm.

 

X2 don't do it. Snake oil.
