Morning Gents

 

Anyone know this guy? Beautiful Tacoma. At the 4WP Sale this morning

 

If I didn't end up with a truck, that's would be my choice. Really want a hybrid for my wife's next car. Good looking vehicle.

 

Living the life! Got a Taco, and now this. Since we are retired, I get to use it too! Now back to using the Truck for Truck! (I was having more fun tooling around town in the Taco than the Niro - now I will want to use the better mileage excuse again!). Three hours to go! I love a hybrid - as long as you are getting 40 ish and +, you can't go wrong. Especially if you are a work commuter! Watch that gas bill drop by 50% or more!

 

That is James, he works for SAPD.

 

I miss the Prius and driving 300 miles a day on 14 dollars of gas

 

I figured he was police because he had some thin blue line theme. Is he on here? He should come out to CnC and show that puppy off man!

although, with all the money he has in that, he needs to get some scratches on those sliders/armor plates.

 

Well I got a Gen 3 Smitty 9.5k. Didn’t throw the extra cash for a synthetic rope though. That’s ish is expensive for something I’m not going to need. Maybe later down the line if I’m trying to reduce weight.

Time to start doing measurements to cut and mount the bumper. Would like to get it on before the weekend is out

 

So this is a really weird thing that has happened to the truck since I installed the crawl box. And I've gone almost a thousand miles now and it's still doing it.

On the way up to NC, on cruise control, and pretty much any other time driving on the highway, my truck gets 12-13mpg. Sometimes high 13's and low 14's.

Since the install it's consistently getting high 15's-mid 16's. Here's my most recent fill-up.



174.8 corrected for tire size and speedometer error = 187.9 miles actually driven.



187.9/11.6 = 16.1mpg

I figured adding it would take away from my fuel economy but somehow I gained 2.5mpg??

I love this thing.

 

Nice

 

@LostHusker
Not a bad build I’m enjoying it

 

Looking good so far

 

Probably a benefit of having gone through every bit of friction in the drive line! Either that or you stole it from me, I lost one mpg to 14.9 on my last (uncorrected) fill-up.

 

Mark will find one for you! He enjoys spending other people’s money!

 

Fancy TRD pro taco I saw in Killeen
