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

Picked up a warn m12000 off craigslist today, I think it might be a bit overkill

 

I live in Colorado (front range) and I get easily 330 miles to a tank if it's all highway. Usually more.

Same specs for the truck and gravitational pull on my right foot.

 

330 would be great. Thank you!

 

you should be able to at the least manage 300/tank thats about what I get here in MI so, i'd use that as a "plan this much for gas" and then if you get better great!

 

Finished spraying the raptor liner on the driver side & fine tuned the new system setup.

 

330!!!

That's the best I EVER got..when I was on 31s...no lift..no armor..nothing..and I was in Yellowstone..where the speed limit is 45..haha

If I get 180 a tank I'm happy..200+ I'm ecstatic

 

Did you spray it on your pedals too?

 

Three of my last ten fill ups have been:

345
342
340

And that's normal driving for me.

 

I would say TW user elclem21 instead LMAO. BTW was my pleasure. My day got even more productive after, check out the 2nd gen thread, where my post belong to.

 

I'm usually hunting a gas station by 280 if I'm on the interstate and doing 75 simply because the next gas station might be 40 miles away. If I'm on the US Hwys doing 65 I get almost 2 more mpg. Here is my best so far. This was on US 287 in eastern Colorado going toward Oklahoma (downhill) and with no wind and a lot of short shifting.

 

Got a little bit on them when trying to miss but decided it looked retarded and went ahead and just sprayed over them completly. Looks fine and they will give me a sign of how the stuff will hold up to an extent

 

Bought the Haynes manual for the Taco, not that I really need it. xD One step closer to starting work on this sucker to get him on the road!

 

31s

It's what came on the truck.

It's been awhile but I also calibrated my odometer with mile markers on a long highway trip and it's spot on.

Not to mention whenever I drive by one of those police speed signs, it too is spot on

 

Parked by this thing today at chik fil a. I guess unimog by the portals. Anyone know ?

 

Civilian GPSs aren't 100% accurate anyways.

I highly doubt it's off that much..

 

I used to get 20-23 MPG on my SUPAH SUPHA HUJANGOUS 235/75r15's!

 

Radar gun haha

 

Changed out the spark plugs, almost finished my satoshi grille, and put in my new headlights

 

882s woulda given you about the same lift from what I read. A guy on TTORA said they gave him the same lift. But the 883s rode a bit better I think.

No the 882s I think he said was a bit stiffer as they were a bit too long on the shocks thus giving a bit of preload..idk I can't remember.

And I knew you would regret not getting 33s haha

Took me I think like 15-30 mins. Can be a real bitch. Make sure you have something small to get under the boot to help lift it out of the lip they are sucked down in. Just make sure not to tear them. I doubt you have to serious an issue with that as I did as yours will be a bit newer..
