3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

One of the least expensive mods I've done in a while- Washed and waxed my Taco today! Also hit 12k miles.

 

Dude how the hell are you getting 21.1 mpg?? I'm like 16 avg.

 

Haha! I don't think I'm doing anything special. I always have the ect on and use mid grade gas and running stock tires. I also drive like an old man.

 

Impressive. I'm on stock sport tires, run 87 gas, and never even use ECT, but I do drive a bit on the speed racer side. I probably average 85mph when I'm on the highway. That could compel me to chill out, especially after I put these monster tires on.

 

Lol yeah 85 = bad gas mileage. If you want 20+ you need to stay between 50 and 60 and keep it in 6th.

 

I've always been a non-believer of getting any power/economy gains from using higher octane fuel in vehicles that aren't specifically tuned for it - but I'll try mid grade in my next tank and not driving like Mario Andretti just because of your gauge cluster picture. When I'm on the toll road I fluctuate between 90-100 the whole time but still stay on OD. I'm paying to drive on it!

 

He's also at a full tank so who knows what kind of short drive resulted in the 21 miles. I'm also stuck in the mid 17's for gas mileage in Austin. I tried to find non ethanol gas but apparently that does not exist in this state since we make way more freaking oil than we do ethanol in Texas.

 

Ive been gettin 20-21 mpg, but also drive like an old man...i have found if i keep it under 60 does the trick,(55 with cruise control is the sweet spot)...of course im in jersey, so no mountains..ymmv

 

Out playing on a 4 day camping trip.

 

Yeah believe me, I've already started a wish list while I was waiting on the truck to come in. I figure I'll wait for the warranty to run out before I start adding stuff. Plus it gives a little more time for development. As a former Jeep guy, I'm very interested in what Victory 4x4 (JCR Offroad for the Jeep people) does as time progresses.

 

I am also averaging around 20 to 21 mpg on a tank. I drive like an old man as well. Mine is an SR5 with the little bicycle tires. So when I set it up and go bigger I figure it will kill it.

 

From what everyone is saying about mpg, I'm happy getting 18-19 running 275/70/17 E-rated tires. I guess I drive about average. Mostly highway but mountainous region.

 

I know you said no rub but is that just around town or is that out wheeling too?

 

Added Bars!

 

Around town for now. Itll rub forsure on the trails

 

Got it a week ago and i love it.

 

But at those speeds I find I nevdr get where I'm going! :>)

 

Yup, got something similar! These are 4inch tubes. Just a little different angle for the shot.

 

Nice, Black is the right color match for a Magnetic Gray!

 

If you have a Limited and you like Chrome, stainless is the only way!
