Alabama thread!

mpgs broooooooooooooo

 

I know it was just like the only reason you left off....

plus doesn't everyone buy a Tacoma for mpgs? the threads and posts about it sure make it seem that way lol

 

Hey im up to 16 back and forth to work since i took the performance tune off and put the base tune on. Pretty okay with that lol. Better than the 12ish i was getting with the performance tune

 

you stated "you have an awesome second vehicle for daily gas saving"

somehow...that doesn't say "do you take the tent off for mpg in the tacoma?"

I'm not sure how, maybe because they aren't the same at all, but maybe not.

 

Dont worry Mark, we love you to.

 

visibility better, truck isn’t as sluggish, cover collect sunfade. Tents exposed to elements so in theory quicker deterioration.

just don’t see the point. Truck just drives better Offroad. You’d have to drive my truck to understand really.

 

lol I'm just shittin' with you. I know everything you said and meant.

 

It’s not about gas it’s about how my truck drives with the tent off that I like.

 

Im willing to bet with the added weight of the diff and tcase on the front coils it will do alot better then. Right now the nose is so light and the back is so heavy. That 4cyl dont weight much.

 

How much do those weigh? Gotta be pretty heavy.

 

Yea prob so. I have 700lb springs in the front so i dont think ill have any sag in my lift. I already like my ride but maybe im not getting the most out of it lol.

 

Im probably going to sell my offroad trailer in a few months and build something a little better suited for our family (i hope). The constant quest of trying to be more organized has made me lean towards a new and i think cooler option. We shall see. @BamaTaco56 and me have done some talking about it and i think hes on board. So if anyone wants an adventure trailer pretty much ready to go(i will be taking my axle, wheels, and tires but will come with something on it) just hollar at me.

 

His is probably only 130ish.

 

Its about 150lb but wind drag is also and issue and it makes you a little more top heavy. Also what matt pointed out the rear end is heavier than the front.

 

@cubie lol

 

I feel like you just built that one! Guess the trip out west was an eye opener?

 

It getts better with a bit of weight

 

Been building it for over a year. It was a massive one lol. Lots of lessons learned and lots of organization and storage issues.

 

Ive got a little bit up there now with the bumper and winch bigger battery and air compressor but the front diff and cv's will be about another 115lb.

How did your truck drive fully armored and with the trailer?
