I took Odie in for his 6 month service this morning. I filled the tank for the return trip - 95 miles, about 1/2 highway at 55-70 MPH and the rest was back roads with maybe 6 miles of city driving. Hopefully it will get even better as it breaks in.

 

Dang, I wish I got 22 mpg. I get 17-18, with just a tonneau and 265/75/16 all terrain tires. I'm almost 100% highway too.

 

Somewhere I missed that your truck's name is odie! Awesome!!

 

And I had to get the commander's plate.

 

I wish! 19.9mpg is the best I’ve gotten so far driving over to the coast, over to Portland and then back up I-5. All 55-70mph too. Sigh, maybe some day!

 

Wow, 19.2 was the best I got going down I175 and I16 in GA to and from Savannah. Though I was doing about 80.

 

Strong winds, high highway speed limits, and our stupid rural grid street system keep me 16-17 MPG.

 

I once kissed 21 mpg on the highway with my 33s (after correction), but that was just one trip.. I think my tank average that trip was closer to 14. Overall my average is in the 17-18 mpg with a mix of rural (<50 km/h) and highway driving (110 km/h).

 

So it's been awhile since I've posted and much has been modified so here is a quick overview of everything in no apparent order...

Expedition Essentials 3Tpam Mount:



Nikto Sound Deadening, ended up going in all 4 doors, the back wall as well as the entire floor... Took me forever but well worth the time and effort. Approx 2 1/2 boxes to do everything:


Glove-box divider, letters, & steering wheel emblem:




All important Nitro 5.29 gears // Yukon Master install kit // Eaton From E-Locker for the bigger tires and inevitable weight gain...


Desert Does It Seat Jacker (Driver Side Only):


AJT Vent Rings/Blackout Kit and Key Fob:


Rims/Tires: Method 704's // Discover STT Pros 285/17

Glove box inserts. Where you get those?

 

I have one in my truck, too.

how about the Green Toyota letters in the glovebox door?

 

Where I got mine - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/glove-box-compartment-3d-printed-letters.572811/

 

That's where I got mine, too. I went with Performance Red, though.

 

Please say you got pictures of the back of the USB connection on the dash. I'm trying to get it a good picture as I want to relocate it to the 3TPAM.

 

Installed the Chrome delete inside. Finally.
Also installed the Redline hood struts. Busted my finger in the process BUT it is on and the finger is better. HA!

 

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Tacos4cheap is where I got mine from

 

Not sure what your asking specifically. I just ran the wires behind the head unit and tapped them into the cig lighter (also put extension wires cause they came a little short imo)

 

Right, I know the install procedure for this unit. I was hoping you were curious as much as I am about what the connector for the OEM USB on the dash looks like. I would like to relocate it to the 3TPAM. But short of taking my dash apart and finding out I am hoping someone else has already. The '16 to '19 are different from the '20, from what I understand.
