I'm still enjoying the extra throttle response. Lol!
Averaging just over 12mpg city driving. Going on a long trip next weekend. I'll get some straight highway numbers posted after that.
I may turn the cog wheel back lean a tooth as well. I'll let you guys know if I make any other changes.

Edit: Also remember I've got the auto trans. So if you've got the manual it'll be a lot better.

Awesome Build

This is a very nice build I'm definitely gonna be stealing some ideas off of you for that storage and sleep area. I'm in the air force as well... hell I'm actually deployed right now on the kc-135 working right next to the b-1's. Cant wait to get back home and get started on my 92.

Interior winch controls



Window screens for sleeping ventilation w/o bugs. Screen material and some magnetic tape held together with some hot glue. Function over form on this mod.

Those are actually pretty clever.
Sad thing is, if I ever did that, I know a friend would roll by and remove them all and let me get bitten.
Great build btw. Amazed at how cheap you got it! $1200 is unimaginable to me.

I tend to always carry while camping... If I woke up while someone was molesting the vehicle I'm sleeping in... That's not ending well.

It wasn't too bad a deal. Could've been better had I known the extent of the engine work required.

Ok, so nice easy solid interstate driving (75mph and some hills... so maybe not all that "easy") netted me a 16.5MPG average over the 7 hrs (total) of driving to and from a wheeling trip this past weekend.

Congrats for the ROTM. Very well deserved, especially your bumper and 7M AFM mod. Now I'm torn between the first and second gens lol.

Not much to update lately... a great weekend of wheeling a few weeks ago (need to get pics gathered up from friends). Followed that up with an awesome weekend of backpacking.

Work and family obligations keeping me busy during the week, so not much time for any mods.

I actually won a raffle for some sliders from SOS Offroad Concepts. He is custom building them to my specs (he normally only builds for 4th Gen and up T4Rs and Tacomas) I'll definitely post pics of those when they arrive.
