What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Sounds tempting!

 

Should soon be calculating my first full-tank (well until the red gas light comes on) MPG after a 3-4 inch lift with 33" Goodyear MT/Rs.

 

What milage is considerated high for a Tacoma?

 

Very nice. This is why I was not worried when wife got her 2012 with 140k miles. It had 26 service records. Hoping we can get 300+ out if her.

 

80k is broken in. 150k is used. Over 200k is high. That's how I look at Toyota's and Honda's.

Everything else I would not touch over 100k.

 

I hear it's easier to apply with the lights off the vehicle

 

That's the approach i was going to take, good to know i'm on the right track

 

This is so true

 

I do 270 to a full tank with a 2.5" king full suspension 285/75/17 toyo AT and full steel skids... that was no ac under 80 mph .. with ac running about 240 250 to a tank

 

Those look sweeeeeeeet

 

I've never seen that beofe, is there any noticable difference in ride?

 

No noticeable difference in ride at all. Haven't taken it off-road much since I did it but I don't expect any issues there either.

 

Question i have is how did you move the axle? Did it cause any issues with the driveline length?

 

So crawled around under the truck last night to paint the sliders where there wasn't any (to avoid fire while having them welded on, before I found out about weld safe paint...) with some bedliner sprayed into a cup and foam brushes.

I'll have to go back and do another coat. Just wanted to get the initial layer on there. No primer. Hopefully the truck doesn't explode...

 

This is all assuming quality and timely maintenance. If it gets done then it should be good.

 

I give it 50/50.

 

That's another question I had about. Seems like it'd put more of an angle on all the joints

 

I used these plates from @allpro . No issues with driveline.

 

50% of the time it happens 100% every time.
