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

Apparently I run out around 315

 

It's the 4 cylinder life

 

I remember when I was stock and got good MPGs...

 

I'm on 33's

but stock otherwise

 

My truck is definitely not the best looking tacoma on the road to be fair. I'm curious how my mpg would change if I took off the camper shell.

 

That would be the first step. Then sourcing parts is going to be the next issue unless you know if a wrecked one you can get parts out of. Buying anything OEM is going to be expensive, I would imagine that it is going to be a pretty penny for the seats. Center might not be so bad but also check on the Buy/Sell/Trade section you might be able to find some good deal.

 

You drive a max of 45 mph? Only way to get that good is if I keep it under 55 the whole tank and don't stop lol

 

Most of that 315 was highway/freeway

no idea what I full tank of around town would get me

 

Proper Taco care...wash, clay bar, wash, heavy wax for the winter...not too bad looking for a guy with 8 shoulder surgeries behind him..got done just as the sun was going down..started when the sun was coming up though..and took A LOT of breaks..

 

So clean! I've had 0 shoulder surgeries and it would have taken me a week.

 

4 new Wildpeaks and an alignment. Old tires were beyond shot and the alignment was just a bit outta whack

 

I ordered some climate control knobs on Amazon last week, something like $10 for three of them. Was pleasantly surprised how good they feel quality wise, and, wow....there are actually lights behind there??

 

Wax on, wax off. Looks great!

 

That's Jim Bob on Instagram.

 

wish i didnt work at a steel mill or volunteer firefight I gave up on keeping mine that clean

 

Made the upgrade of my knobs. Very happy..with them. Match my shifter and works well.

 

@Buzzkill657 I work for the US Forest Service, and run the forest roads quite often! I may have a little OCD about washing it...WAXING is a different story, but winter is coming and with all the road grime and salt, you need a good coat of wax up here...

 

This was my truck stock except a camper shell vs a lift, 285s, rock sliders, bumper, and a winch. I'm getting maybe 20 or 30 miles less on a tank of gas.

 

Noticable?

 

I have the Husky ones. They are beefy and flexible, work great. Just have to drill holes in them to mount them since they are universal, but it's easy to do.

I had them on the front too, but removed them because I got tired of rubbing when turning after a lift.
