    Steady driving at 75 is around 16-18. Tanks with any head wind.

    Slapped on a Dynomax Superturbo part #17748 about two weeks ago.
    Throttle response does feel better, and it sounds amazing. Not too loud, just right. Sounds stock at idle.

    I wanted to join in on this thread and announce my arrival to the world of Tacomas. ~2 weeks ago I flew to NC from PA to purchase this truck sight unseen w/ 9.4k miles on the clock and drove it home.

    I'm looking to try and keep this thing as light and nimble as possible. Which is my reasoning for the 32" tires, light 18lb wheels, and regular cab config. It's a 4x4 auto btw ;)

    First, what I've done so far:

    *Full debadge, removed pinstriping, removed side steps, removed Tonneau cover, removed mud flaps.
    *Installed 265/75/16 Toyo RT's, 16x8 +0 FN Wheels Countersteer Type X mag blue , black lugs, black 949 racing valve stems
    *Installed Toyota Sport sticker to bed sides (I believe I will remove and get larger of the same variant) along with Toyota sticker to tail gate both in matte black.
    *Purchase Bilstein 5100's but I am waiting to install depending on what other supporting mods I may get so I can do one alignment and be done.

    Potential Plans:

    *Thorley or LCE headers. I'm going to be calling LCE and chatting but their dyno chart seems almost unbelievable so I want to hear it from the horses mouth first before I order but I'd love more power. I have access to a dyno locally and plan on using it.
    *Supporting suspension mods may include an AAL, improved bump stops, possibly different front springs and a UCA. Not sure if I want to do all that or just put the Bilsteins on and call it a day post alignment/leveling.
    *A low profile matte black tool box to be used for tools, camera gear, or luggage as it's just a regular cab. I also plan on using this as a step to stand on and get up on top of a roof rack (for increased height for photography). Looking at SEC low profile or Weatherguard in 63".
    *A roof rack for a regular cab.... seems to be hard to find. Might be fabbing something custom unless suggestions are available.
    *I'd like to integrate a curved LED light bar onto the roof rack.
    *A removable ladder rack--looking at an angled Weatherguard unit currently.
    *Slider bar / step + skid plates eventually... I have to research this more.


    I know that's a lot to take in but... input? Thanks in advance. Huge thanks btw to Dustin @ FN Wheels for all his advice on wheel size/fitment. I'm very pleased with how my truck is sitting.... here's a few pictures. Full gallery: http://clients.zacharyemerick.biz/Cars/Feature/Zacks-2012-Tacoma-Workhorse

    Why do people care about fuel mileage if they pour money into mods and drive above the speed limit?

    Above the speed limit? Texas highways are 75-80mph speed limits. I care about fuel mileage still cause I'm often curious to see if regearing helps gas mileage or dimishes it. Or just helps torque and doesn't affect mpgs.
