4 cylinder double cab review (Prerunner)

After a couple years of owning my truck I finally installed the Bilstein 5100's up front the AAL in the rear. Went with new MBK wheels and 265 75r 16 Cooper AT3's. Really happy with the way it turned out.

 

2012 Tacoma pre runner double cab, 3" RC lift, 285/65/18 nitto terra grapps w/ 18x9 -12mm offset fuel lethal. Have lightbar mounted in lower valence, led pods mounted in fog lights and pods as spot lights on hood.

 

How's the drive with 285s? Would be interested to hear your MPGs also.

 

Guessing it's the 6 cylinder? I have the four banger and was tempted to go 285s but figured 265s would slow me down enough

 

Also really dig the light bar, that might be my next upgrade.... Messed with the interior today

 

It's not too bad definitely not a speed demon. Plan on going bigger next to a 33/12.5 or a 295/70 (34/11.5) mt.. It's a 4 banger all 2.7l of it

 

Plan on putting a little bigger lift and a 50" curved lightbar across the top

 

Yeah I keep wondering if I should have gone 285's but I was trying not to demolish my mpg's, that's why I bought the truck in the first place. Your truck looks sick tho.

 

I get around 17-19 just depends.. Thanks man, have a lot left to do but slowly getting there

 

I dig it.

 

Thanks Mane

 

You guys are telling me these trucks both have 4-cylinder engines????

 

This one also.

 

Yep! The little 2.7 that could

 

Yes 110% positive.

 

I got mines brand new 2 years ago. After replacing the stick steelies with aluminum rims, acceleration is noticeably better. I'm also running 225/75 r15
Definitely made it loomore like a truck.

 

Mhicks7714 how did you mount LED pods in the fog light location. I've been wanting to do this set up but don't know where to start. Any tips would be helpful.

 

I have a 2016 SR 4-banger crew cab. Of course it's slow, but it drives amazingly. I don't do any off-roading or anything like that, and I don't haul anything either. This truck is strictly for commuting to work, and weekend driving. It also fills up at about $35 with today's gas prices. My buddy has 15' Sierra crew cab with a V8, and although it's a beastly truck, he spends about $50 - 60 on gas, WEEKLY!

Here is a pic of my little guy

 

Here's mah truck again.
