    I'd call bullshit. I get a 14 around town if I drive like a mad man. The supercharger is more efficient.

    He's got a higher flowing fuel pump and a smaller pulley. He said he never leaves town with it, and I would think he probably has quite a bit of fun with it to get that mileage.

    I agree. I don't see how it could ever be that bad.

    Hey Ryan when you were thinking of making those replacement frame sections how were you going to do that ? I'm thinking of taking a frame reinforcement plate and using those as the side of the arch then making a channel on that plate. If that makes sense. Or do you have a better idea? If anything I'm going to replace the front of the arch all the way back.

    I just met my new next door neighbor and found out he works at Toyota and does frame swaps on Tacomas. Small world.

    He also get the frames after they are removed. They cut them in half and he takes it to the scrap yard since Toyota doesn't want to deal with it.
