    Probably. Finding the right buyer would really be the biggest issue.

    Just not sure what I can really get for it.

    In my mind I'd like to get like $34k for it. But I don't know if that's actually plausible. That's the trick with highly modified vehicles though. The KBB and NADA are kind of useless.

    I used to drive an 08 2wd tacoma in California. Never had to deal with any of those scenarios, got around 16-17 in the city.

    I just got back from Cali last month. Highway mpg on the taco there was around 12-13. Western MT 10-11. Winter gas and elevation make a big difference.

    Just rotated all 5 tires (put the full size spare in rotation).

    After plus or minus 5k miles my Falken Wildpeak AT3W are right about 16/32 (originally 18/32) or very slightly under.

    And it looks like after 53k my brake pads are still decent:

    I felt it too in my power wagon when I went to Washington to visit family over Christmas. Amazing how much better engines run at sea level lol.

    That's a topic we discuss here at work regularly. We send equipment to the Yellowstone Mountain Club on a regular basis, most engines aren't made to run at that elevation out of the crate. Sure you could turbo it and maybe reprogram a computer but if the EPA ever got a hold of that info your screwed. Especially with all this "Tier 4" bs.

    I never really noticed what my mpgs were in Cali. Mainly due to the fact that we just got the 4runner a couple months before we moved.

    Are you all hand-calculating mileage at the pump and accounting for tire size? Or just going off the computer?

    A good friend of mine turned onto the app Fuelly. It allows you to enter gas receipts and current odo readings too calculate mpgs. I don't account for tire size, havent reprogrammed the speedo, and don't plan on it.

    I round off. LOL

    I track every single fuel up with Fuelly.com. My tire size does throw mileage off about 7% or so.

    My last ten fuel ups average on Fuelly.com is 12.6MPGs

    It says over the 52,254 miles I've tracked I've spent $46,444.61 in fuel. Or roughly $0.888 per mile. Total of 308 fuel ups.

    Although something is off there. $46,444.61 divided by 308 fuel ups is $150 per tank. And that's no where close...

    LOL Found the problem! I had a fuel up in June that mistakenly got entered at "13969.000" gallons instead of 13.969 gallons. OOPS.

    All-time fuel cost is now $8,797.04.

    Garbage in, garbage out. ;)

    I use the odometer. Have a hypertech calibrator installed. Close enough to my GPS.
