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

So im probly due for the 2nd water pump?

 

I run nokian winters on every vehicle i've owned. Are you refering to the studs when you say noisier? I usually don't run studs but these tires are no longer available without them. Can't have too much traction on ice i guess.

 

I wasn't serious.

The point I was making is the added flex you have (because of the missing sway bar) is what is allowing the front wheel to get close. I'm betting you have to really work at it to get it that close. I don't think its a problem. Just be aware of the potential. You wont really know for sure whether you have a problem until you wheel it hard.

Flexing at the mall on a curb is not real world.

 

I've only had them with studs so I can't compare to them without. But compared to an A/T summer tire, they are obviously a lot louder. I have Mastercraft Coursers with studs on my taco and I know nothing about that brand. They seem OK, but when I need new ones I'll be going back to Nokians.

 

I only lost 3 with my 255's so its probably the gas switchover.

 

whats wrong with curbs?

 

I consider putting factory tires on for my mall crawling adventures.

 

Went wheelin.....

and oh yeah! SLIDERS!!! Still have to bedliner them, but you get the idea.

wow 4?? that doesn't seem right.. i have read its usually 2..but thats for 11.5'' wide and 33 tall.

You really should be takin that big a hit since you went skinner and just a bit taller..

sorry i can't really tell you what happened with me..i go shitty mileage in general till after deckplate exhaust and maf cleaning.

 

Im gonna clean mine again and get rid of the k&n... I get shitty gas mileage
like 10-14 mpgs its bs. Ill be putting the stock muffler back on this week.

 

Especially since I have a slow ass 6 cylinder that I never put above 2500 rpms

 

i used to get that man! Like 14mpg town..was shit.

I cleaned the MAF, did the deckplate mod and got my new exhaust and now i get like 17-18 city and 20-21 hwy! sooo..something worked for me

would definitely get rid of the K&N tho.

 

Ok good to know there is hope for better mpg's! because im at the point where I don't want to drive it anywhere

 

yea plus your a prerunner..you should be gettin way better then that.

 

how do your reset the computer? what does it really do?

 

Ok thats easy .. does it really make that much of a difference though?

 

True
