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

Did you do fronts as well? If so how do they look?

 

Got gas today. Calculated mileage. 15 mpg on winter gas with the 285s. Not great. Not awful I guess. This was a mix of highway driving/city driving/4wd forest road driving plus warming the truck up in the mornings before work.

Curious to see what the mileage turns into once it warms up out. Hopefully I can get it up to 17ish mpg.

 

Apparently the seat spacers fit more than I thought. 1990 I bought to carry my 87 year old mom in and I thought WTH why not, and it worked and felt better. Anyway just thought I would share that with ya.

 

Running 285 KO's can't even hit 14 mpg.

 

V6 6 speed. I’m on E range Duratrac. And I drive like an old man.

 

towed a trailer riding on my rear air bumps for about 18 miles.... got kinda sketchy over 40 mph. took bumps in the rear like a champ though.

 

Put the finishing touches on the camp panel this thing came out legit!

Installed the blue sea plugs in the bedside cubby with a fuse block for added circuit protection


I did some tidying up with the excess of wire I have running to the battery I still need to bus the two terminals together to use both studs

And got some goodies in prepping for the bumper

 

dusting

 

On 235/85/16 KO’s I get 13-14 city mileage lol

 

Nothing today just hanging out.

 

Dome and maps done as per the picture.

Am I the only one that sees a whole bunch of negative camber?

 

Might be the camera lens

 

Turn yourself in!!! you stoled it!!! (jk)

 

?

 

I would recommend against shaving it down when there's a $10 LED Flasher unit you can purchase for $10 on Diode Dynamics. It's the CF18 relay. They also have a $60 programmable one if you're interested in that too. I have the $10 one in my truck.

Also, you may not realize it because it's inside of the fuse box and not under the hood where you can see/feel it, but that wire in the flasher is gonna get hot just like the resistors. Maybe not quite as hot, but I don't like Jerry rigging electrical stuff. Seems like it could be a potential fire hazard.

 

Guess my 15mpg isn’t terrible.

 

Test fit the All pro alum bumper I recently stole for $400 locally. Installed the Baja Designs fogs, just have to wire them up. Waiting on full skids and a rear bumper from SOS Concepts before I send it all out to get powdercoated to match the truck. Got a PIAA lightbar on the way as well as a Smittybuilt x20 winch to fit

 

My "quote" disappeared...
I just said : "need this guy right here..." LOL

 

Definitely the camera and angle
