    leveling kit, Cooper 255/80R17 tires on 4Runner rims, Leer cap, Ovtuned (not yet working), K&N filter, TRD catback, Riderite air bags
    Goodmorning all.

    I just created my account and figured I should make a post to say hi... with no questions about tire size, radio installation or lift kits..... just hi.

    this is my 7th Toyota Pickup (not counting the 2001 4-Runner I had or the 2007 4-Runner my wife owns).

    I started with a 91 Pickup... (regular cab, stick) first pickup and first stick, its amazing how fast you can learn to drive a standard when it is all you own.
    I sold that to my brother in 94 pickup.. stick and standard cab (same as first one)
    Later on I got a 98, put a TRD supercharger on it (extended cab, stick)
    next I got a 2001 (extended cab, stick, last new truck purchase)
    later on I got another 2001 (extended cab, stick)
    ....2006 double cab, TRD sport, white
    and now 2011 double cab, TRD sport, black.... (just got it end of May)

    I admit I have a problem... I can't keep a vehicle... always need what I don't have. Why my wife is still married to me I will never know. I swear I will keep this one 5 years....

    I do love this truck and Toyota's in general. I had a rattle that I found last week, other than that is has been flawless. I have a long mostly highway drive to work and believe it or not I have gotten 20,21,20.5 average so far (I drive like an old lady when I have a truck). I just got 285/70R17 so it will be interesting to see what happens to the MPG... I will let you know by updating this post when I do my first fillup. I am thinking I need to multiply my trip odometer by 1.075 to get true miles on the tank but that may be off. thats based on 60 speedometer is 64.5 actual, if I multiply 60 by 1.075 I get 64ish (math was never fun for me...)

    The truck is black with black wheels and white raised letter tires. I have a rollup bed cover coming in the next few weeks and I am searching for another mod to do.. I would love to do something to increase the MPG but I am doing pretty good as it is... possibly a cat-back but I don't like loud so that will require some poking around.

    I am sure you have clicked away from this post of fallen asleep by now so I will say goodbye for now.
