Finally did the deck plate mod. Not a huge difference in performance, But it does sound more throaty when accelerating. I think I need to do the isr delete mod and I should se a difference as we'll with a KandN filter.

Yep Hawaiians loves their toyotas, last year the Tacoma was the number one purchased vehicle through out the islands. There was a time we pulled a hummer out the sand, and the guy was like man I should have gotten a Toyota

Took it to the beach and tried to help a 4runner out that was stuck, not just any runner but a 2014 trail edition 4runner. Damn idk what it is but my 3rd gen walks all over that beach while this truck just sank like a stone.

Father's Day gift Looks like I'll be doing the deck plate mod soon and as well as building my raised garden. Super great deal at Home Depot, a $350 value for $179 can't go wrong with that. Happy Father's Day to all you rad dads out there!!!

I remember that issue with the explorers, part of it was that the tires were rated for a certain capacity and the explorers exceeded them. I really feel the low tire pressure was killing my gas, been driving it for the past two days with a significant increase in mileage before ever passing...

I went and put gas last night and I check my tires pressure after. All four tires were at 20psi. So I inflated all of them to the max psi on the tires, is what I did correct or should I be inflating them to the psi rating on the door jam of the vehicle. The max psi on the tires were 44 I went...

I'm was reading speedys garage on the deck plate mod, and it net him a 5-8 hp gain and it's so simple that I want to try and get it done ASAP. I have the technical skills to do it, I just need to borrow a friends drill. That with the ISR mod I feel should have a significant difference in power...

After the beach yesterday, I was able to clean my MAF and throttle body. Let's see if that makes a difference. Next on the list is change the rear diff fluid to synthetic and spark plugs and wires. When I get the money to spend I'll go ahead and just replace the o2 sensor and hope that makes...

Say what?? What kind of motor do you have an drivetrain? Now I feel like I really have a problem with my mpg.

Yeah I been there be for their price is really steep. I just plan on buying a exhaust and have bars muffle weld it in. I will keep my stock pipping and find my self a nice chrome top later. Just wondering which would be better flows, magnaflow, borla?? Anyone got some clips of their exhaust?

Yeah I actually bought the MAF cleaner already, especially since it states gain 4-10 HP lol. Well this weekend I'm cleaning the throttle body again and MAF. I have the stock roof racks and I use if often so I don't really want to be taking that one off to much. This is a very successful...

Makes a lot of sense, because usually gas tanks are just measured by a float level, it being a potentiometer more than Likely sending a voltage to the gauge. Well next fill up I will fill her up nice and slow, and do the math to see my mileage again. Been working on my driving habit all today...

After getting an alarm with remote start I plan on buying an exhaust. With my minitruck toyotas I would always get a flowmaster, mainly for the sound but I don't think it's much of a performance exhaust. I've never had any other exhaust, what's a good exhaust to accompany our motors? I heard...

I'm located on oahu, and yes it being an island I do a lot of city stop and go traffic. I'm starting to feel its all about my driving habit, and conditions. Yeah I've heard about seafoam fouling plugs but it hasn't ever happened to me. I might let the motor suck up some washer fluid to give...

Wow thanks for the positive comments and some great advice on maintenance I should do. Hearing from you guys I think a lot of it has to do with my driving habit, I am a bit of a lead foot, coming off a red light I like smashing the skinny pedal and I like to be around 70mph a lot lol. My last...
