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

Just picked up these two 8" LEDs and a fuse holder from my work for a little less than $15. Have a hood pin switch at home already. I think it'll turn out pretty good!

 

Cleaned up the new tires and painted the wheels I just got from Konsta (rctoy)!

 

Do you guys have manual transmission?

I have a dbl cab v6 AT and I struggle to get 15 city and 17 highway. Always try to keep it under 2k rpm too.

I feel like i should just swap the o2 sensors, as I've done just about everything else.

 

2.7L XtraCab with a manual.

 

Might be that your engine load is really high at 2k. I get better mpg around 2800-3k than at 2k.

 

I live in the Mississippi Delta.. Completely flat land. I average about 18.5 sometimes more sometimes less. I think if I babied it and drove almost all highway miles at around 50mph in 5th that I could get around 20 or 21.. But your gas mileage is unreal, I'm jealous.
Btw your calculator, odometer, and gas pump meter are all clearly wrong.

 

CBI makes quality stuff! I'm def doing a HC rear bumper when the time comes

Yea man.. puttin the work in so I can really reap the rewards! Oh that Sucks you can't make this trip The next one will prob be here before you know it!

 

I know just messing about.

 

Planning on organizing a Sept. one when I come back fully rested from my honeymoon.

 

3.4 with a 5-speed

 

Well the current state of my tires (smaller diameter) certainly inflated the mpg figure. But even if it is 5% off, I'm still feeling pretty good about it.

 

You'd have to wear off ~0.75" of "tread" to be off by 5%...

 

Hell I don't think it's worn down enough to make THAT much difference. I'd shit if I got that high.
Which reminds me, I still haven't changed my o2 sensors haha.

 

We just took a family trip to Galveston from Austin then to San Antonio. I averaged 20 mpg which for me was awesome. I usually get 15mpg when city driving, and it's all stop and go. I'm happy to get 230 miles per tank after calculating for bigger tires. But I have the 3.4 auto with 33's, plate bumper, 1 piece skid, sliders, and about 200 more pounds in the bed. That being said I was very happy after getting 320 miles for a 15.73 gallon tank on the way there and back, which was all highway. Engine load was typically around 50% and RPM's around 2300

 

I turn about 2650rpms with mine in 5th gear going 70mph. Engine sounds like its screaming but it like that rpm range.

 

Took her Camping. Been a year since I got my baby. Last year vs this year

My son and I got to wheel a bit but I didnt get any pics

 

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Let be be known throughout the lands that today, Dispatch55126 has indeed bested thy'ne enemy.

Though the evil Toyota Engineers did indeed win many battles, today they have been defeated. Though gallant effort and a cunning mind, thy'ne enemy has been defeated. How was this accomplished, you ask? Why, it was a mere 1-gallon ziplock storage baggie.

Though the war has been won, we cannot rest on our laurels. Thy'ne enemy is a cunning foe, lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike again.

Not one frickin' drop spilled!!! Suck it Toyota!

 

Yay!

 

I keep forgetting about that. I bought 265/75r16s the first time I replaced tires. Damn stock size were $25/tire more at the time.

 

HAHA!! NICE!!

I made a freaking mess last weekend doing my oil.....Did my fuel filter yesterday, and the war was lost..lol
