What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Does it actually give more MPGs or just reset and trick the system? Mine reset to about 335 last fill up and I’ll still only get about 261 until I have to fill up again. Same as it’s always been

 

Installed my front receiver and wired for the winch!
I was asked by a couple of people where this mount came from sooooo....

I used a bulldog hidden winch mount, bought a 14" long 2" receiver blank, drilled and tapped 5ea. 3/8-16 holes in the receiver. Drilled 5ea , 3/8 holes in the bulldog and mounted the receiver on the bulldog with grade 8 bolts. The 5ea bolts should be stronger than the 4ea that normally mount the winch!
My Frankenmount.

 

It might, I don't paint my nails. I don't have any available to try.

 

Yeah that’s what I heard. I also plan to get 5% window tint lol

 

I will try that thanks! I guess I was waiting for my 15k service figured they might do it

 

That is a big difference between actual and estimated mileage. Have you done a physical calculation to confirm?

 

I have not recalibrated anything. I’ve always gotten around 14.1 - 14.9 MPGs. Having 35s on the truck doesn’t help either.

I was more curious if that disconnect actually changes the actual MPGs or just resets the system until it learns your driving patterns again

 

Thanks bro. I swapped out the tweeters for suburu ones way back. But still have to do the front and rears. I’ll look into RF. Did you only do the front? I also don’t know a ton about electric / sound systems but I keep seeing everyone reference the amp. I’d like to do the same in the near future

 

You are correct always on the floor to fill. I said at the end over view that only if I was in a rush I would be ok with it.

 

Thats a pretty great idea - I didn’t even consider that 6.5” subs would be an option for the rear doors.

I’m about to start my first step in my audio system upgrade with replacing the tweeters with the Subaru kickers…next I was going to do front door speakers…those two seem to have the biggest bang for the buck improvement from what I’ve read…then if I want to go further look into rear speakers, amps, subs and from what I’ve read just replacing the rear speakers doesn’t make much of a difference because of the 10% power distribution as you stated.

 

Installed a J&L catch can today. I'm impressed with the quality of the product, the time the company spent on the instructional video, and the ease of installation. Yes, I understand this is not a direct injection engine. Yes, I understand that the motor was designed to handle oil coming back into the intake cycle from the crank. Yes, I put it in anyway for funsies for the same reason that I can pick my nose and eat my boogers and my stomach can handle it, but I prefer to use a kleenex so my boogs don't go down my throat, into my stomach and out my arse. Would rather bypass that whole process and just use a Kleenex. Savvy?

 

Why not go with the in-channel? They look so much better.

 

Installed the Air vent ball mounting base from OFFROAM. Great quality and is very stout.

I spit out my hot tea reading this. I like this guy and the way he thinks. I've been considering one myself.

 

This looks awesome! How much extra weight does this set up add to the truck?

bought some ceramic coating ( CAR Pro CQ QuartzUK edition) of course there’s other stuff/chemicals so I have a whole self made kit thing and here’s my game plan if interested, but I did do a fair amount of research I will be waiting for 50+ day …..(https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/official-ask-a-detailer-thread.8957/page-224 post 4467…. I’m sure it’s a lot cheaper to diy then have a pro detailer do it…. And fun too

Not today, bit Saturday I went with a buddy and drove around the Delaware Water Gap park. Only had it since the 6th. Lol, love this thing.

I have, since purchase, installed a TRD skid, roof rails, bed mat, bed lights.. and those handy console Organizers. Thinking about wheels. Not a big fan of the OEM sport wheels.

 

Where did you get it from?
