    Map/Dome Light on same time, Beep onLock, Anytime DTRL's, Fog Light on any time, Cockpit lights in footwells, night light in cup holder and rear of console, Radio ON w/ ignition off (off with timer), 3157 socket for rear turn signals (BRIGHTER), Reverse Light Mod, Tap light in console and engine bay, removed screen prior to MAP sensor, Blacked out lower valance, badges, center caps and door handles, Added door sill plates, JVC-KDHDR50 Head unit (HD Baby), Tinted exterior lights, Borla Exhaust.
    Changed out what appeared to be OEM spark plugs with 144K on them.

    I had noticed my tank mileage decreasing to around 340-350 per tank, usually get closer to 400 per.

    I used Autolite XP Iridium, I know, alot of Vatozone hype :rolleyes:

    But I had a $20 credit, $5 coupon and hard to pass up a rebate :D

    Who else hates the crap in the way of cylinders 1 and 3??? :mad:

    It just might be me, but I notice a slight increase in the AVG MPG on my scangauge, not that I constantly look at it :eek:

    Anyways, I'm satisfied

    Yours come with the spanner wrench? Or you bought it seperately?

    I thought mine would come with it but didn't, Got a replacement from MT4X4 but I was a little dissapointed when ICON said it was an additional line item.

    AH. Yeah, I got a 1/2" difference on the driverside vs passengen in the front. Now I can adjust appropriately. Or just add those batterys I wanted. Decisions, decisions!

    TRD E-locker rear axle swap, Cherrybomb Extreme muffler, custom made CAI, 2.5" spacer lift up front and AAL's in the rear, Sport model seat swap, Pioneer X940BT, Kicker shallow 10" and 12" behind the back seat
    This is on my "soon to do" list, only I plan on trying out E3 plugs. I put them in my 91 Pickup 22re and they were great! Which I was surprised about since it only seemed to run right on NGK plugs.

    All part of my MPG increase plan. Putting a smaller set of road tires and wheels in it soon for my daily commute, those should help a TON! Then maybe some sort of intake.

    might want to rethink the Intake, as far as gains are concerned.

    Used the T4R to bring parts for theTRD. Looks like she has parts on her own. Just a few more days.
