I have basically have the same setup with exactly the same results. I average about 15.5 mpg (corrected for larger tires) with 80% city driving on flat terrain. I read people on this forum getting 17-18 city with larger tires and lift, which is frustrating to me because it leads me to think I...

-KarenCaren, I initially wanted to get a set of Sport rims, but I actually think the 5-spokes look good. -Jeffrey_vb, thanks. You definitely see alot of 4th Gen 4Runners at the Beach, but very few modded ones. -Falls, I basically keep it aired up all the time to level out the rear. The...

Nothing special: Air Lift 1000 for the rear, Ready Lift kit in the front. Husky Liners, Ventshades, BFG 265/70/17

If your G500 has 50/50 split seating, then I'm assuming the seats fold in the middle. Do you have center anchors? I would be surprised if it did. If you Corolla doesn't have center anchors and no armrest, I assume it's because there wasn't room to put anchors between the outside ones. I don't...

We have a winner! Gonzo is correct. The center position should not be used for either rear or forward-facing seats, PERIOD. The reason why there are no anchors for the center seat is because the child seat is not intended to be secured any movable, unsecured part of the the vehicle. I actually...

I was actually getting about the same with my stock 31" tires. Would cleaning my injectors boost my mpg's? I've read mixed reviews on that.

I've taken a couple of road trips that were about 95% highway and managed just 18 mpg. o2 sensors maybe? I'm not throwing a code, however.

I drive 75% around town, 25% highway on flat terrain. I baby the gas pedal, rarely going above 2700 rpm. I calculate my mileage manually; my dash computer usually indicates 17-18mpg. Maintenance-wise, what else can I do to squeeze out more mpg's? It's frustrating to hear Tundra owners getting...

I bought my '03 4Runner in April with 60K miles. All PM was up to date (oil change, plugs, air filter). I cleaned the throttle body and aired the tires to about 35 psi. I hear many on this forum getting 18+ mpg on their V6's, and some on their V8's. My 15mpg is adjusted for larger BFG tires...

It's in a tight spot and I'm unable to fit my hand in there to remove it. What's the trick? Any help is appreciated.
