Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I've never been lucky enough to see 20 on mine. When I bought it a few months ago I was in the 15 range and it didn't idle well. I switched to ethanol free premium and now I'm getting around 19 and it runs smooth. I'm not sure what's up with that.

 

I went on a car cruise with a bunch if buddies this past weekend. Mostly sports cars with my slow ass bringing up the rear.

One of the guys has a really clean CRX, and was getting around 33 MPG despite driving the shit out of it the whole time.

I was doing my best to keep up, and basically driving the 4runner like I stole it. I was actually impressed, my worst fill up was about 14.5 MPG. Not bad for a brick on 33's hauling about 1000 lbs of armor, tools, and gear.

 

Thanks for the invite. Sounds like a great trip! Sadly, work calls. Hopefully the next one!

 

That looks freaking amazing!!!

 

Argument for E rated tires based on my experience. They tend to wear more evenly being a stiffer cross section and ride a bit tougher because of it. I've got 50k+ on my 295 ko2's and they're really evenly worn. I only run 35 psi and have wheeled a lot with them at 12 psi. If you run trails get E rated period, they're better protected in the sidewall department for punctures and overall a great option for keeping the spare tucked away. My truck weighs about 5600 with just me in it. About 6k loaded for a trip confirmed on a landfill scale. I get 15mpg highway going 70. Im also a 6 speed. My truck has 105k miles and big tires all it's life. My steering rack is fine and I'm still on my original wheel bearings.

 

I need to find a place to weigh mine. I'd love to know how heavy it is when I'm loaded up fir a full weekend.

 

Dane County Landfill has a scale

 

I'm at 5860 with myself in the truck and the camper empty. Expecting another 300LBS loaded out

 

Meso total tail stage 1.

 

YESSS!

 

Real army green for the win

 

It was easily one of the coolest paint jobs I've seen!

 

What happens when you hit stage 2?

 

Looking good!

 

I haven't seen them in stock and haven't heard anything about a restock.... And have no idea what they cost. Tritons alone for a pair are $125 but yeah I gave in on the stage ones. Got the stage two switchbacks at least for markers

 

My build has followed @WiscoPat quite a bit with personal tweaks here and there haha.
Then again Meso has quite good products! And that ATH bumper is nice and low profile.

 

I basically have stock investments in MESO Customs at this point.

Edit: I've had a tremendous itch for more mods, but I'll be holding off until next summer. Sliders and roof rack are next on the list.

 

Same here. Sliders because wife is a shorty, roof rack because it makes trips to Menards easier.
