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

It depends. In my extra cab, I usually average 18mpg on the highway but I've experienced as low as 15mpg (on stretches of I-10 in west Texas with a nasty head wind) and I've experienced as high as 21mpg while driving from Gunnison to Denver.

 

Ha! Icons, camburgs, and total chaos. .All we needed is some light racing and we got it covered.

 

1800 miles at any speed and i would lose my mind


brady was telling me that for drill weekend, the lead humvee that had the commanders in it, was being driven by a newbie, and the speedo was broken...so they did about 45 from poky area to twin, where the other guys took him aside and suggested to him, harshly, that he go faster lol

 

Cool, I'm hoping to get 18-19, I got 17 MPG cruising in the hills at 45 MPH, and after we get into AZ it should be fairly flat.

the only reason I'm driving that slow is because I'm the support truck for the moving truck.

 

My average mileage over the past 750 miles of 95% highway driving around 60-70 mph as indicated by my ultra gauge is 18.9 and that's without having it corrected for my 33's so my mileage is actually higher than that. That's with 3" lift, 33s, front bunper, and sliders.

 

Rolled the tires into place because I needed something to fap to.

 

That is disgustingly sexy.

 

bone stock, unmolested 04 2.7 lol


I like the wheel base/tire placement. what did you figure for wheel base #s?

 

Yesterday I did some wheeling with a couple guys (a 3rd gen 4runner and a fj cruiser) at a memorial weekend off road event. There were only a few other yotas there, a lot of jeeps, buggies, and redneck mud trucks. We tried to stay out of the mud, but there was plenty to be found through the trails. This is the 3rd time I've been on this trail this year, so I knew what my truck could do and really tried to push it beyond what I thought it could do. The supercharger is awesome when pulling up steep climbs. The 4runner and fj both got stuck once and had to be winched out. I didn't get stuck at all. I think it was the longer wheel base that helped the most, but the dynapro mt's show their strength again. They plowed through everything. It also gave me a chance to test out my shock relocation. Everything went well. The ride seems about the same now as before. It was a fun day.

I slid the top of the cab against a tree so I got a scuff there, and I ripped the hose off my windshield washer fluid bottle with my tire. I will probably relocate that with something smaller. Otherwise no issues.

Nice dude! Wheeling pics look like a ton of fun, truck looks good, bumper looks good.


well done

 

Thanks man! It was a blast.

 

You better triple wrap it when it comes time for Jon's truck.

Just sayin'.

 

Wait.... all that fabbing you do and no sliders?

 

^ lol

who needs em

 

I have them, just not on the truck.

 

I was wondering if anyone would notice that haha

I'm shooting for stock Tacoma wheelbase which is 123", but anything between 120"-123" I'll be happy with. I just moved both axles forward, but I'm honestly not sure how much. I'd need an IFS taco to measure.

 

The aftermath. Couldn't tell how muddy it really was in the dark.



And the transfer case skid is still there and in the same shape.

 

That looks like an awesome little spot!

 

It's a cool place. 300 acres of previously mined ground and a lot of trails have been cut through the years. There are some challenging areas that I wouldn't take my truck through, but the little 2 door jeeps do well.

 

Is your truck supercharged? I can't tell.
