What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

its actually as good as, or slightly better than stock, believe it or not! Auto, 4.10’s, and going up in tire sizes resulted in worse and worse mileage. With the 35’s and 4.88’s, mileage got really good, then I added the sc, then the 37”. I get 420-460km off a tank currently. I wasn’t at all worried about mileage when I modded it, but I gotta admit, I’m extremely pleased with what I’m getting out of her!

 

i run into BC for trails, and currently, I try to avoid towns as much as possible. I also hate paying BC fuel taxes, considering the flack Alberta gets from BC about our oil. So I do my best not to buy gas there. And, I buy gas for $1.49L premium in AB, while in BC, it’s $1.65L. Makes a difference over the course of a weekend.

 

Interesting stuff! I knew there had to be reasoning behind it, really curious how the 37's do longer term since that's my next jump. Though my steering is going to hate me even more then.

 

Well that worked out nicely...and I have a hitch laying around....hmmmmm......

 

I got the perfect alignment

 

Dang and I thought paying $2.59 87 octane a gallon in Houston was stiff

 

Hold my beer...

 

*Laughs (cries) in $4.40/gallon I just paid this AM* I have to use 91 though.

87 here isn't much better but still under $4 in some areas.

 

We're at a 5Y high in SF

 

5.31 in needles CA today

 

But you don’t have to deal with winter so it’s ok

 

Put in some DDI Seat Jackers for a more comfortable seating position.

 

Painted up the sliders with a few coats of raptor liner and now read to burn on to the Tacoma. Also got the T4R registerd finally.

 

Put a for sale sign in it's window today. Bought something with a little more power to replace it.

 

M14 1.5 x 100
8.8

good for leafspring bolts?

 

I bought 4

 

Who's got Chevy 63s?
Who knows about Chevy 63s?

What are some opinions on Chevy 63s?

My main concern is how bad do Chevy 63s kill departure angle?

I have a set of 63s layin in the garage... I 100% must replace leafs this this year. Can't decide if I want to run 63s or a custom set of Alcans or Deavers.

These All Pro Expos suck ass.

 

No words needed. Pictures explain the hell I was in today.

But its done. Hurray to another 100k miles to come.

 

wait… why did you take off the AC compressor mount bracket? I’ve done the TB 4 times now and never touched that.

 

Got the passenger alcan hanging from the truck, gotta get the other side apart to get the axle to bolt up.

nervous about the icons being too short, probably need to order some spacers for the super bumps
