Finally did it

Have wanted a Tacoma for a long time. Imagine this work forced me to do it. I have a 2005 F150 and the gas is killing. Its the story I told my wife and I'm sticking to it. Any way picked up a 97 reg cab 2.7MT. AND I LOVE IT! Needs some work but so do I. 3in susp 3in body with 33x12.5x15 bckshot mudders. "Shot" being a key word. Goes Tuesday for some BF KOs 33x10.5x15 this time. 300 mile commute every week. Taking all comments and suggestions.

 

Congrats, have you checked your MPG yet?

 

Congrats! What are your plans for the Taco? Any mods planned yet?

 

Sarge just got it Fri. Putting on new tires Tues. Will check it then.

 

Fennwick just trying to have as much fun as I can and get as close to 25 mpg as I can.

 

Your not going to do it with offroad rubber.

 

Welcome to TW! Don't worry, we won't say anythin. Your story is safe with us 83K members.

 

Congrats!!! Love that body style! I had the same truck just an '03 with no lift and a slightly oversized set of Cooper a/t's (1 size above stock)!and my best days were 21 mpg.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

Wow! Don't even get my tires on and you guys are crushing my dream. Lol. When I it make you can each fill my tank once as a tribute.

 

Sounds fair. Drive her up to my point and I'd be glad too. Lol

 

x2. Make sure u use a lot of the flex seal. Its a long way to Hawaii.

 

New treads are on. 33x12.5x15 BFG AT KOs.

 

Maybe we should start a pool predicting your mileage.
1st - 17MPG

 

Nice truck. How does she ride with the body lift?

 

Good luck with that elusive 25mpg.

I like the truck though, miss my old 95.5 regular cab.

 

Ok. So maybe 25mpg is way off, but I have the fun part covered big time.

 

Drove it to work this am. First time on the interstate with it. As far as I'm concerned it drove like a dream. I had my own expctations and they were exceded. New BFGs probably didn't hurt though.
