Your still doing a ton better than me, I looked today and am getting 16.6. Maybe Toyota accidentally put a tundra engine in my truck.

 

Yeah ya never know! This reading comes up when starting it at the fuel pump right after the tank is filled.

 

new grille!!!

 

Dirty truck, new tires and wheels!
Wheels are 2014+ 4Runner SR5 wheels.
Tires are Cooper Discoverer AT3 in stock size.

 

Try 13.5.....what I average on a consistent basis. Am I alone here?

 

Thanks. It's really basic. 5100s F/R. The rear has a Headstrong Off Road 3 leaf add a leaf. Tires are 265 KO2s and wheels have 1.25" Spidertrax spacers.

 

Installed OME lift and Light Racing UCA's today.

 

I got mine 4 months ago, SR5/V6. 2wd & gets @ 20mpg. Prefect truck in every way for me. Love it! Also got bed mat which is huge upgrade & mounted Hero 4 GoPro.

 

Here’s a couple of pics of my hardwired GoPro. Sweet setup. Will upload video too, once I figure out how to do...

 

That looks slick. What was your reason for the swap? Thinking about doing the same. Like the trd off road wheels but perhaps like these better.

 

Ouch! Is that a lot of stop and go in the city type driving?

 

I live in a rural region (the biggest "city" around here has 17K people) in the mountains. The Tacoma is one of the most popular vehicles around here and the 2nd most popular vehicle is the 4Runner lol. I just wanted my truck to be a bit unique without affecting the efficiency since I drive a lot each year.
I really like these wheels because they are not a "busy" looking wheel, just a clean look.
In person, especially with the white letters out, the truck, to me, now has a clean old school look I really like. Plus, with these being a current Toyota wheel, very few people can figure out that my truck is not completely stock.
Lastly, you can pick these up really cheap!

 

Got my front Rough Country 2" leveling kit on last night. Tonight I installed a 1.5" block in the rear. Gave it the perfect look and still a little back-high rake, which I wanted. I know most on here bash the spacers and do 5100s all around with OME springs and an AAL or leaf pack in the rear. Gonna drive this a couple hundred miles and see what I think. The whole setup was like $110. Let me know what ya think. (first pic stock, 2nd is with lift)

 

UWS that is made for a flare side Ford Ranger.

 

It is, still some highway mixed in there though. I’d have to guess 80/20 city-highway. I’m sure the winter blend doesn’t help, though I’m still scratching my head that it could be that low. I’m no leadfoot either.

 

Here's my painted Pro skid plate and recovery hook installed... hard to see and subtle, but I like it.

 

Got a pic of the rigid dogs installed?

 

New shoes and a de-badge today! Goodyear duratrac 265/75r16 now to find some wheels

 

How do you like it? Is it the fully assembled kit for around $1300?
