1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

4x4 here. 3RZ 22 mpg highway, 20 around town. Calculated many times.

 

I don’t complain, I state.

I’d much rather have more free time than more money.

Also, I do work 20 hours a week soo.

 

My free time wouldn’t be as fun if I didn’t have money... my perfect balance is having a lot of both tho.

 

The way I see it, I cant fund my free time hobbies without working as much as I do. College is temporary, I'll be out or atleast online only in a year. Hoping to score a good job on an associates and then work on a baccalaureate online over a few years while I work. Putting money away now so I can buy a house in a few years, and pay for said online school. Perks of Community college is I dont pay for a room, and only 3 meals a week. Folks are paying for my associates, anything more is mostly on me.

 

Save money on gas by buying a bike

 

What kind of tires you got? Im on Goodyear Highway/all season tires, I imagine that has something to do with it.

 

Yahhh 3rz 4 da win yoooo

 

But don’t pay the uber

 

Nice!

Yeah I have auto 2wd trans so the speedo gear swap doesn't work like it does for the speedo on the transfer case. I tried, what a headache & wasted money. Now that I have the Digital Dakota I would recommend that over the speedo gear swaps. Can get it more accurate & if you ever change tire size or final drive you can simply recalibrate anytime you need. But pretty much useless if you have a cable driven speedometer.

 

College doesn’t feel very temporary for me right now lol. I have 6.5 more years... 7.5 if I dont get my bachelors in 3 years.

 

Thays funny, those are likely gonna be my next tires. They shouldnt affect mileage either. Weird. Your an auto, right? Having a 5 speed really helps.

 

What's your major? You just want a masters or is it pretty much required to find work?

 

Those tires suck ass.... ask me how I know. Just find the latest greatest off-road tire that isn't popular yet and buy them for $140 per.

 

I may as well calculate my mpg on soon. Anyone wanna take a guess on what it will be? I have a 2001 ext cab, 4-cyl, 5-speed manual transmission, 4:30 gears, 2.5” lift, 33x12.50 KO2s and 15x8 steel wheels...

 

Maybe Ill just stick with the nore expensive goodyear then. I like the looks of the Trailrunner AT.

 

Chemistry. I’m doing dental school afterwards which can’t be avoided unless I choose a different profession.

 

Dude Im at 200 miles exactly at the half tank mark. Thats how I know if my mileage is doing good lol.

 

I am resigned to the god awful 15-17 mpg... I gave up trying to get better.

 

I wish...

I don’t even want to think what mileage I get going back and forth from college since it’s over a mountain. I’ll probably go smaller (or skinnier) tires next time.

 

I applaud you. Mouths disgust me. I cant even be around other people when their brushing their teeth. I have a phobia about it.
