What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Actually I should have been more specific. But not a weekly wax wax but spray wax.

 

Looks like he must've sold all the other shit that was on it....lol

 

That's a great-looking color, and it looks like a cross between brown ande copper.

 

Look at the Mastercraft Courser CXTs, they're about 54 lbs each, so a little better. Stock tires are about 42 lbs each, at least the ones on the Pros and Trails. The difference isn't that bad.

 

for a second I thought it was a 2x4 TRD Off-Road DCLB. I was confused because toyota never made it in that configuration lol

 

My first thought when I read your post, "Could I use a no-buff, spray-on type wax"? But I don't really even know if there is such a product. I use the ol' wax-on, wax-off; every inch by hand; flipping the buffing towel often, etc. etc., etc. technique. It would be a hard for me to trust a spray-on & walk-away formula (until I learned that it works).

 

based on rough math that's a 3.4mpg hit. That's... not nothing.

 

Right.

But the numbers aren't pure because of the odo being off.
Is it really only a 1.5 mpg hit? Or 5.5 mpg hit? Or?

 

EDIT: Totally meant to post this in the foodie thread ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Smoked some pork ribs, 5 hrs at 225

 

I'm still on the stock tires for OR's, which I believe are about 35lb. Based on TartanEagle's experience, the best I could reasonable expect is about a 2mpg hit. I guess I have to decide if I'm ok with that. I'm coming from 8 years in a Mazda3 where I could drive with as much enthusiasm as I like and get 29mpg, so this is taking some getting used to. For perspective I guess I should remember driving my 95 Yukon that got 14mpg with a tail wind.

 

If anything it's a percentage equal to the difference in speed. Say 65mph(speedo)/69mph(real)=0.942, so 3.4mpg loss would drop to 3.2mpg

 

There is an entire thread on traction boards "somewhere else". It's worth looking for and reading the posts. Pretty much every make is discussed and compared.

 

It's a seatbelt cutter.

Only problem is the keg was empty! Still is, moving sucks....

 

He still has all of it he just got it powder coated while it was getting wrapped

 

After picking them up at the shop I installed my Heftyfab rock sliders.

 

Great, now I need a smoker, this site really is dangerous. In all seriousness though those look amazing
