    Have you checked your mileage with this winter blend crap... I am down to 14-15 around town... 18 on the highway if I am lucky and pray to the OPEC gods.

    The 3/4 line on our gauge is 5 gallons down from full... and 5 x 18 = 90, so that's what I would have. I could bring a 5 gallon gas can along and top the tank when I arrived at Ocotillo Wells. Off roading, the mileage drops a lot more... I haven't tested it in 4WD, but I bet it is closer to 11-13 mpg?:eek:

    Its a fixed cost in our hobby. Gas gets burnt, tires wear down, shit breaks....no one said offroading was cheap.

    I have clue what gas mileage I get, I just fill it up when it tells me its empty.

    I cut out the back, but the CB bumps up against floor so it cant go in all the way. So I need to find a CB that will better fit that cubby.

    that looks pretty cool, but I think I will end up getting a HAM before I buy another cb, I want to run both but the one I have works (kinda, need to get it tuned) but I figured a HAM would be better for now

    Just did the Tundra big brake swap on my Tacoma. Brakes are so much nicer. Highly recommended it for anyone with a 1st gen.
    Total cost was 165$ for the used calipers, rotors and came with autozone brakes I returned for new ones.
    Choose to use my existing banjo bolt and just modify it.
