    I believe blens is a woman and that there is Beautiful British Columbia!

    My guess would be Squamish, High Falls Creek perhaps! How am I doin' blens??

    Can't wait to get this thing up to Whistler this year, hopefully there's some snow.

    Please post up pics when they are installed - those are the first wheels I've seen in a long time that made me say "Perfect" as soon as I saw them. Hopefully I won't like them so it'll save me some money... :)

    Purchased My Blazing Blue TRD Sport Long Bed last week. Immediately drove it to my old stomping grounds for my Alma Mater's Homecoming weekend. Put 600+ miles on it round trip and it drove great. Got 19-20mpg going 70+ the whole time while passing quite a few cars. Glad to join a new family!!:oldglory:

    Hmmm, I have the same setup and averaged 16.1 my first tank. I did probably 70/30 city though.

    I wouldn't believe the readout. On mine at least, it is all over the place. I had it slowly work its way up to 19.X, then instantly drop to 14.X while driving one day (this is the avg/tank #). I will have to read the manual, but it seemed like it auto-reset for no reason. Also, after driving about 150 miles, it suddenly started getting about 3 mpg better on the trip readout (pops up when you turn off the truck) an noticeably better instantaneous reading. This is all with the same daily back and forth to work. 60/40 hw/city. Anyway, do a miles/gal used old school calc next fill up.

    Got it, thanks for the information. I don't really drive with a heavy foot and was skeptical about the averages.

    If anyone is interested in that I would most definitely trade my hood for one with the scoop.

    Very happy, it's my first taco, but it feels very solid.

    and if no one noticed, the center caps are different. 3 wheels have v-tec, 1 has vision. will need to either contact DTD or vision wheel company tomorrow.

    edit 2 :

    called DTD customer service, they will be shipping out a V-TEC cover tomorrow. its all good.


    edit 3 :

    emailed the original rep I ordered from and decided to canx the previous "V-TEC" cover and instead send me 3 "Vision" covers as I like those better.
