New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I've had good experiences at Larry H Miller Toyota on Eubank and I-40. They did the timing belt on my 1st gen with no issues.

 

Yeah, I decided against them, especially after I realized there were only 3 rims. hahaha.. wtf?

anyway.. whats the biggest tire size I can get on stock suspension. thinking about sticking with my stupid boring 4runner 17's. and putting BFG KO2's 265/70/R17?

I'll do a King suspension later.. most likely this summer depending on how the economy looks by then. lmao.

I just can't stand the stock low profile bullshit tires anymore on my truck... but I can't afford rims/tires/suspension all in one go.. unless I get a loan. hahaha... So I was thinking just rims and tires for now.

 

Also, please keep the making fun of to a minimum... my time is spent on science related research.. so my time researching truck parts is minimal

And I keep making impulse buys for my truck.. and I keep fucking regretting it..


I bought and installed a K&N CAI for my truck... sounds dope... I love it. and I feel the difference when I gun it...

however... my BFF in Cali, who has a single cab taco... claims she gets better MPG...

I just ran my first tank... I lost 2mpg. I usually get 17-18. I got 15.8 this time.. hahahaha... maybe because I was flooring it a lot to hear the intake... but I also don't think I was doing it more than i use to stock. (shrugs)

is there something I need to do to the ECU? programming wise? does she get better MPG because she's in a lower altitude?

am I an idiot for installing a CAI over factory intake? hahaha..


thoughts... ?

 

Sorry guys didn't read your previous responses my bad... again my mind is else where

 

So if you do any offroading and want to do it right this is what I do...

The size of tire and amount of lift have no correlation in regards to what size you can run. Whatever tire you run should clear at full bump and turn! I ran 285's on my 3rd Gen 4Runner and clearance the fenders out so that they cleared. They did rub a couple times when a deflated tire was in a weird angle but for the most part they never touched. What I do is take the coil off of the shock, put the shock back on and bottom out the suspension. Then I start trimming plastic and in some cases metal until there is no rub. Then it doesn't matter if I have stock lift, 2", 4" etc... They clear all the time and my expensive tires don't get damaged. The tire size and amount of commitment do increase together. For example I did have to trim my fire wall a little bit to make sure my tire cleared. I know some people don't want to deal with that or modify their truck that way. So I ask how much offroading? If this is something you are interested in I am happy to schedule you and complete the work, for a fee of course!

 

well is their a specific reason you want a king setup? you could go with some billies or a toytec boss lift and be setup pretty good and run some 285's.

impulse buys i remember the newb days then again your on your second taco WTF! and your just feeling the butt dyno when you get on the gas the intake does sound good but in most instances people get on it to hear it and the mpg's go out the window. if you maintain you speed and dont have a lead foot your mpg's should increase 1-2mpg if your lucky, you dont need to remap the ecu unless you getting some boost, if you remember my other black taco i had which had with intake, y-pipe, headers, exhaust, the only thing i needed was the bypass for the o2 sensor.

FOCUS!

 

Lol... this may be the booze talking... but you's good people! I miss our BWW meet ups.

 

Impulse buys because I'm trying to make up for my lack of motorcycle days

 

Wait aren't you the asshole that made me try out for the miss buck and Dex show? And I won.. but then got knocked up and fucked that morning radio show up real good

 

Hmmm...methinks there's more to this story. Please, do go on!

 

Lmao that would be I! And I didn't force you to try out you did It willingly!

Got you some good airtime and got our tacos mentioned a few times! And that's what the morning show was kick ass not like this lame shiz on now.

Bww meets were always good to shoot the Ish but there hasn't been a meet for a bit besides the couple of runs, motorcycle days are done? Gotta play wifey n mom now lol oh well I guess that's where all the impulse buys come in.

Who would've guessed riding around on that bike was a damn neurologist lol had me fooled! Anyhow yes it is I!

 

hahahaha... I was pretty shmammered. you were the one that told me about the competition. otherwise I would've never knew about it. I regret not participating more in that show though. it was so hard going super early in the morning, while pregnant, and doing full time upper level undergrad classes. half way through, I just stopped going


I say we all become overlanding buddies and go romping all over NM. COME ON!!!!!

I have a husband that drives a prius... DOES THAT NOT SAY ANYTHING!?!?! lmao...

anyway.. let's do a meet up? who's in ABQ?

 

Guess what I get to install this weekend as another impulse buy!

 

if i owned a prius this would be my thinking;


anyhow maybe all the guys will come out of hiding now that there is a active femme on the thread...meet up day when, where? i may have to call out the non-active guys again....

 

it'll be what a 6 year reunion? hahahah... we'll all be old and wrinkly., it'll be great!

 

6 years wtf... gosh your getting old, i guess we seen it all from when having a taco with as much chrome as possible was some what cool bahahaha

 

oh so you stayed the same age in that 6 years time? lol wtf?

hater's gonna hate! Chrome?? I did not! I had a silver taco with black westin bulbar and nerfbars. and black rims. which I'm kicking myself for not keeping them...

oh I did have a "chrome" grille insert.


anywho...

this is my new goal.

 

was frozen like Han solo!

thats a nice setup almost like this one

 

yes please!
