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

When is your wedding date and what is the expected lift date? Are you doing the lift yourself?

 

Wedding is March 25th 2017.

And negative. @Texoma is the man around my parts. And will be the man installing my parts.

 

Do you have all the parts now? When are you getting it done? Would kinda be nice to see a YouTube video for those of us who care

 

I don't have a YouTube account, atleast I don't think I do. But I can make one and definitely try and explain what Chris is doing. I'm just going to be learning and making sure he has cold beer at all times.

 

I'll be gentle

 

Switch channels to cap city please

 

Roger that

 

@Texoma is the man around my parts.

I hope he is....

 

The only man I will ever let undress my baby

 

Looks like fun

 

Thanks!

 

I wouldn't without feedback and evidence. As I said, I just wanted to know if there was something "good" to add to the dino oil, like STP, but not because of any leak. I am on my third Tacoma, a combined mileage now of 326,000 miles + and never an engine issue.

 

Wow that's terrible mpg... haha
Lifting my truck didn't change my mpg at all. I get 20.5 with my stock tires. I've had one tank on 265/70r17 cooper at3's and it was around 19.5 WITHOUT taking into consideration the 5% larger tire. Tire rating (weight) can also reduce mpg, along with more aggressive tires, in town driving, hills, elevation, driving style etc.

Tip of the day: when calculating mpg, just multiply miles by 1.03 (5% larger tire) then divide by gallons (sadly this doesn't work perfectly since tire companies don't make tires exactly the same and tires wear over time. For perfection, use a gps.)

 

That is bad....with 275/75r17 I'm getting a calculated 17.5mpg combined city and fwy....was 19.5+mpgs before the 33s

 

Or just multiply by 1.033 for a 265/76/16 and have the correct mileage

 

What load is your tire though?

 

17.0 with 275/ 75/17s. With all my mods am at about 5400 lbs about 1000 over stock. When stock got 19 according to my ultra gauge. So... U r fight about where you should be mpg wise..
Oh well, I guess if we wanted mileage we would be on th Prius site not T W...

 

Today on craigslist I got:

Magnaflow Turbo Catback Exhaust ($359 msrp - used and damaged in one section, having my buddy fixer up)
Bran new Toytec parts (drive shaft space, axle shims)
for $70

Will post pics of the exhaust when I get it on.
Gonna be a while before the lift parts go on. Still need UCA's and rear springs/shocks.

 

E-rated. Nice and heavy
