What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

That's 22.79 MPGs with a 3" lift and AC on doing 75MPH 90% 70 MPH 5% & 35 5% of the time. It's also so a up & down hilly drive that goes from 4450 ft to 4000 ft & back 7 times.
I usualy get 23.5 to 24.5 without AC

 

22.79 mpg is impressive considering your speed and set-up.

 

Entered it in a car/truck/bike show after I washed it

 

we are going too need more details

 

Just found out that my truck won't start. Over the last 3 days I have noticed that when I start it to go anywhere, it has been a little hesitant. Once I get somewhere and then leave, it starts up fine. I was planning on taking it to the stealership to get the battery and alternator checked out tomorrow anyway. I just went out to go pick up a few beers and it won't start at all. So now my truck won't start and I have no beer!!! Guess I'm definately heading to the stealership tomorrow. I wouldn't think it's the battery, cause the truck is less than 2 years old, but who knows.

 

Hopefully you have a warranty??

 

It's definately still under warranty.

 

Thats good. Hopefully its something easy and wont take long

 

Have you checked the battery posts to make sure everything was clean and tight? Could be that simple.

 

Backed into a tree. Oops

 

sounds like a starter .. be sure to report back

 

Installed my Manual Pop & Lock today..... no more strangers opening my tailgate to sit on, worry about tailgate theft ( even though I did the hoseclamp as well) and no friends or family opening my tailgate and letting it slam down thinking that it's like the Tundra which has tailgate assist opening.

very easy to install and the quality isn't as bad as some of the reviews on this site say it is....... although time if tell

 

revived my 7 year old headlight lenses. next weekend I will take them apart and match the frame to the truck color, silver mica.

I like the black frames on all other colors besides the silver. so silver frames with the silver mica homer grille will look epic

Getting gas, noticed a BIG chunk of tread missing from the right rear.
I'm assuming it's been like that for a couple of months when I hit a chunk of metal on the freeway. Looked everything over at the time and didn't see anything wrong... so I dunno.

Holding pressure just fine, but I yanked it and put the spare on.

Now I'm debating whether to replace all of them or just that one. I really wanted to upgrade rims to 17", but can't swing the $1500 for the full set right now.

 

Started out the day by getting an alignment done after getting my BFG A/Ts. Followed that up with some window tint on the front 2 windows to match the back. Then debagded the sides after doing the back last weekend, and finished the day off by ordering some interior LEDs! An over all great sunday!

After Tint and Debadging:

 

no wayy... 4.7L swap coming??

 

That was 2008 man.

 

Today has been a big day for the Taco:

She got a new bed extender and Tonneau cover. I wrote up installs so it helps someone else in the future.

2 days ago, she got a remote start installed in her and last week 35% tint on the front windows.

The modding craze has begun again!
