4 Banger 3rd Gen. Thread

Hellow TW! Here is my story. Went from driving a honda civic Si to my '16 Taco 4cyl. Why didnt i go with a v6 4x4? Well as u can see my car (which is still have) is pretty slammed, i hated driving at night, rain and when it would be foggy. I've had my car since 08 brand new off the lot and been driving like this for about 4yrs now. I decided to get a 4cyl taco because of MPG, i never do any offroading of any sort. I love my truck and i love that i can fill it up with under 40 dollars every 3-5 days(same as my civic) i do drive a lot another reason i went with the 4 cyl. Ive had the truck for one month and already have 3200K on it. I mean thats what they are made for right? Well on to the pics! Post up your 4 cyl!

But your thread is in a better location.

 

Welp...

 

The V6 gets better gas mileage so I hope that wasn't really the reason you decided on a 4 cyl.

 

not just that. i didnt want to pay extra 3-5k for 6 4x4 when i will never use it

 

Definitely understand. I went with the V6 4x2. Like you, I don't go off-road and I live in an area that never gets snow so I didn't really have a need for 4x4.

 

exactly i know it doesnt have a ll the fancy stuff but its all good i am not picky lol

 

I got the 2.7 SR5 4X2. I'll never use the phone, bluetooth and the other electronics. I was like the OP, why pay more for the V6 when the 2.7 is all I need. I was going to get the SR in silver with steel wheels. I decided to pay an extra $1,000 an stepped up to the SR5 for the alloy wheels and black interior with caramel stitching in the seats and the caramel door panels.

 

love the interior!

 

Thanks man.

 

I'm trading my '15 Si for a V6 4x4 Tacoma lol. Not a big fan of the car world.

 

waaay too much money invested in my car to let it go...kinda has a sentimental value to me lol. At 180k i decided it was time to give it a break. it now sits on my driveway and only comes out for shows, meets, etc

 

i too still have my 07 si and i too bought a 4 cyl sr 4x2. about 115k on si and 1900miles on taco.

 

Nice!

 

whats your wheel size and offset?? looks like you rolled your rear fenders right?? i usually run stock si wheels for snow tires. i was looking for new rims for snows this year for the si but bought the truck instead. so ill be buying winter rims next year for the si. i would need to pull my fenders as well so i can run stock camber spec. my rear camber is in heavy negative to reduce rubbing.

I'm currently 18x9 + 38. rubs on toyo proxes R1R(225-40-18). did not rub when i running proxes 4 plus same size.

 

im running 17x9.5 +17 with 205/40/17 LOL!

my rears are pulled and my fronts are rolled

had to pull rears cause of my old set up i was running 18x9.5 +15 215/35/18 (waaay too aggressive) i was rubbing all over the place i was maxxed out on the front and rears on camber

 

Got some stuff in the mail. Just waiting for this rainy weather to clear up. OEM door sills and tailgate decals

 

Installed the door sills the other day. Couldn't be happier

 

Any one notice any water drops run down the inside of your windshield when you are defrosting your windshield on mornings there is a heavy frost? I noticed 5 drops this morning. Never had a truck that did this.

 

Yes and it will do it if you have the sun rood as well. Frost is condensed water. When the frost melts.......If it hasn't happened before you were not paying attention.
