    Tacoma - Flowmaster cat-back exhaust, volant cold air intake, 3" lift with AAL, 285/75 r 16 pro comp xterrains, 1" differential drop, spare tire mod, hypertech in-line speedometer calibrator, debadged
    you could also try installing a hypertech inline speedometer calibrator. It corrects the speedometer and odometer after putting on different size tires. After installation of the calibrator, it turned out that I really didn't lose too many MPGs, especially on the highway. The only thing is that it costs over $200. But I'm glad I got it so my speedo and odo are accurate.

    I'm not sure of the exact gear set, but with the stock gear ratio and the lift/tires combo you could definitely benefit from them! :eek:

    Mods so far: Tube steps from toyota, Bed extender from toyota, Spare Tire lock, Sound System Makeover, Tacoma All-Weather heavy duty rubber floor mats. Rear TSB, Icon Coilovers w/ TC UCA's and 3inch rear block with rear 5100 bilstein shocks, Black Headlights, Grillcraft black grill, Devil Horns from Andres, Black Headlights, Chrome Liquid Metal Gatlins Wheels, 285/70R17 Nitto Tera Grapplers, Wet Okole Seat Covers! Seat Belt Chime Mod, Flowmaster 50 series dual exhaust, Debadged tailgate, TRD Decals, HID hi/low + fogs.
    I am running 285/70/17 and they are 7% larger than stock 265/65s so basically multiply you odometer by 1.07 and thats the true mileage,

    i am on my first tank since the new tires and the odometer is reading 152 at the half tank mark so i have gone about 163 miles on 10 gallons which isnt too horrible

    i am planning on adding a new exhaust soon to so that could help out mpg
