Lockers are pretty cool too though

For the price of some of these LED bars out there you could lock front and rear

 

Man we went almost 6 months without a night of inconsolable crying, poor girls got 2 new teeth breaking through her gums = no sleep for mom and dad

Although the baby ibuprofen seems to have finally knocked her out, hopefully it lasts awhile. Drugs ftw

 

I'm mostly excited for the new gearing, these 3.58s are killing me at red lights... it's "kinda" nice to be able to do 60mph and only be at about 1900rpms.

But my cat is still clogged and I I should have my injectors rebuilt so I don't know what good gas mileage is lol. When we had frost and snow and I was letting it warm up while I cleaned, I averaged 11mpg on this last tank

 

Damn that's worse than me, I feel better now lol. I average about 13 around town I think. Been awhile since I bothered to calculate it. I'm lucky to get 200 miles to a tank but I mostly do short city commutes lately.

If you're gonna regear though then that's the ideal time to throw a locker in, opening it back up later is just double the labor

 

Definitely why I'm saving up to do it all at once. And meanwhile I'll freshen up the axle housing and probably weld up shock tabs so I can do a ubolt flip later.


Yea I only drive in town, with the steering as forked as its been I only drive through town and "backroads" everywhere I was avg around 16-18 at its best but the colder it has gotten the worse it has been. Wife rode in the truck with me when we took her kia in for an alignment and she was nauseous from fumes by the time we got to Firestone, maybe 5 minutes away.


I don't notice

 

9-11mpg with the tundra locally. Highway 19.. overly sensitive gas pedal and stop and go means low mileage

 

Luckily work is 5 miles away so even with shitty mileage I only fill up every week and a half unless I do a trip in between.

Though 91 premium here just hit $4/gallon so it's starting to make me notice a bit more lol

 

My work drives the same. Hence shit mileage

 

Nerds, my work drive is about 1 mile

 

At that point I’d just walk! Lol

 

Nerds,


I don’t work

 

I'd get a electric bike

 

Fify

 

I drive 25 miles one way. I won't ride a bicycle for a mile

 

Good Luck!

 

There's a detailed study of different CV axles happening on IH8MUD in the following post. I suspect this applies to Tacoma CVs as well. Check out the differences between OEM and various aftermarket brands.
