What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Less fire hazardy, more room for toys. We’ll see how I like it.

After

 

Yeeeeeaaahhh...pretty good isn't good enough for $4000 seats..they better be fucking amazing

 

oh my...

 

Maybe he got the reacharound option

 

One thing at a time adds up!

 

Or should have stuck with the 2nd Gen with the 4.0 it was getting 18-21mpg

 

I only like 1st gens. I inherited a 2nd gen and gave it to a Family member

 

I wouldn't mind having another 09 I didn't feel the need to spend $4k for better seats at least

I got 42 or so MPG last week on a 1700 mile roundtrip to Montana. .....but I took my sexy Prius and the Tacoma was home in the garage

 

Brave for Winter

 

2nd trip in less than 30 days. My Prius with Blizzaks actually does way better on packed snow/ice than my Tacoma.

 

But Prius

 

\\


but better/safer. ...and over 2x the MPG

 

Ehh, if you don't get too excited, then you can always be happy.

Plus, as much as it seems expensive, it's still just a rounding error in the cost of Tacoma ownership. I mean, if you're doing it right...

 

doing bearings as preventative, or are they starting to make noise?

 

My rear axle burped a little bit of fluid out this summer, hasn’t since, so I just figured.

and yea @270k I figure I might as well, too bad it isn’t cheap

 

I'm at 300k something and afaik they've never been done.
Not looking forward to the day I have to do them/if that day comes.

 

That evap stuff really does get in the way, but there's a bit of space to mount on top.

 

Interesting. Surprised you were able to clear the hood in that spot. I just always assumed I wouldn't be able to do anything there. I'll keep that in mind for the future
