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

Not true, there's that dude with the 97 who regularly gets 28-30

Plus, over the course of a few years and 30,000 miles tracked, I'm averaging 21.4

See below in my sig

 

lol

Well if we ever do meet up and go on a trip together we can have a fuel off.

 

That grille was soo expensive. I wish I would have used the money else where. Lol

I know

Well I just was told I can have the day off tomorrow so I can try and knock that out.

 

its not hard i get 28mpg on the interstate keep in mind im in GA there are no hill here on the coast...i get 400miles out of a tank+ sometimes also im 2.7, 5sp man hub so its like im a 2wd except for the added weight and i run high air pressure in the tires up front to keep rolling resistance down...i get 28+mpg in my 91 5.0 mustang gt vert assuming im not playing around

 

im on eibachs and 1500's. haha and I went with an addicted front bumper.

 

I know why my A/C belt shredded itself now.


And for all you nancy's fitting 35's and 37's, suck on this!

 

Damn! Bye bye bearing haha

And those look like 37s...

 

They be 38.5's haha. Thought I would throw one on for fun.

 

I finished the rear leaf (Dakar) install, which gives me a now completed OME setup (881/Nitrocharger Sports). In the past 15 days, starting with an oil change, I've replaced two front axles (torn CV boots), re-packed my wheel bearings, replaced and installed an inner axle seal and replaced a drum brake actuator. By far the biggest job was the rear suspension/leaf springs. Took me two days. And truth be told, I don't really have much of a clue as to how to do all this stuff, but I made it work (?!?!?!).

Thanks to TacomaWorld, I have the courage to give it a go.

 

Hey man, post some pics of your truck when you get a chance.

 

Ha! Nice! What an odd size..

 

After about 10,000 miles my UG average mpg is 17.1. Go me.

Nice! I did that not too long ago as well. the rear was definitely difficult. I'll be adding extended shackles soon, so I'm sure ill have nightmares of pry bars and angle grinders lol.

 

I average about 23 in spring/summer/fall and about 20ish with the winter gas.

 

I average 12... 15 if I'm lucky.

 

thats what i get in my full size extended cab k1500 chevy in town... there is no way id drive a compact truck getting that kind of mileage lol

 

Yeah, well just look at your truck and look at mine.

 

Looks like something you'd see at a baja competition

 

hahahaha bobert is growing up! even if they aren't really staying on the truck

 

i'm between eibachs and nitros. plus I think I'm going to go with an ARB bumper

 

Ill pay for it and give you my retrofit haha
