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

City or highway?
I get 13-13.5 city with my truck, and last highway trip I got ~20 MPg

 

Mixed.
Best I ever got was about 310 miles on one tank. All highway steady at 60mph
The combo of 2.7, auto, larger tires, lift & 4.56 gears is poison.

 

Yeah the 5spd is nice. Thats 18-19 highway though. City is like 14-15.

 

ouch your a 3rz with a auto eh? yea shoulda gone 4.88s at least for sure.

5.29s would be a lot over geared for 32s. Even 33s a touch but be okay with 33s.

but to put in perspective, i now sit at 3 grand...for 65mph. Im a manual V6 with 35s.

motor will do 3 grand all day..trust me but i am not looking for a mpg improvement really due to the shear weight of my rig now.

 

How do you like the MTR's vs. your previous KM2's?

 

at first..i was not impressed with the feel. I aired down to 15psi and they were much stiffer feeling then the KM2s. Not a huge suprise as the MTRs have the whole kevlar thing. But i loved the side wall flex of the KM2s.

Ended up going down to 10psi and then..i loved it. Was soft ride again.

And god damn do they grip good. Went through TONS of mud and they did great in it and snow. I did notice they clean out much better then the KM2s.

Road noise is hard to gauge in my truck due to a door seal leak i need to fix, but they seem the same if not quieter.

All i can say so far really, haven't had more then 300 miles on them and haven't had them on some rocky stuff. But so far, i really like them!

 

haha wasn't my choice. Have to call Toyota on that one and ask why they didn't go for 4.88.

 

From what ive read they do really well. I personally would like my bfgs but would like to try mtrs. i need to get a co2 setup... ive never aired down, cant imagine the grip and ride quality that im missing out on offroad.

 

Finally installed my adjustable 5100's i got from DSM. been sitting in the shop floor for way to long. Used the middle slot of the 3 to level her out. worked well and drives fine.

Any suggestions as too placement of a few rigid dually's up front without a light bar or aftermarket bumper ?

 

CBi ditch light brackets are cool.

Somebody (relentless fab maybe?) makes ditch light brackets (in front of the door pillar, behind the hood, mounts.
And I think you can adjust the engle of them for ditch lights or straight out in front.

 

Just a little too late

 

oh right your on stock 4.56s..well..those were supposed to be for 31'' tires max haha

you could find some super rare 4runner 4.88s..haha..good luck though..

They are nice no doubt! not sure what id run if i had the option if i was to change tomorrow. I am liking them though.

and dude..hell yea! Aired down is the shit.

 

I remember when I first aired down. Good lord....

 

Found this yesterday
Pretty sure im still on the original boots unless my dad replaced them when it was his truck. not too bad if they are...10 years. Ordered some boots from SDHQ.

 

Airing down, good suspension and good driving will take you far......working for me anyways at the moment..

 

It'll be soooo smooth in comparison haha

I usually go down to 12psi, but I'm running 33x12.50's on 15x8's so I can get away with that.

 

yea ive found proper line choice is key wen wheeling with open diffs and tires at highway pressures.

Not sure what pressure i could get away with with my 255's.
