So with the rise in gas prices I decided to convert to the hybrid side! Actual mileage, 0 mpg gain. Mental satisfaction, at least 1-2 mph gain!!!

If I saw you on the road I would probably follow you just to try and figure out what the heck it was that you were driving haha. Looks good!

slight hijack: your rear garnish behind the 4Runner Emblem looks great! How did you black it out? Paint/Vinyl/PlastiDip?

You beat me to it. I was going to do the exact same thing. Maybe I'll get a Prius logo and put that on mine instead.

deekoi,
How do you like your aFe so far?
I've got one waiting to go in.

 

[ROYALTY]

How much gas do you pump into your 4Runner?

 

[TTown]

You should put a V8 emblem in front of it!

 

[KCcarguy]

Awesome......most people by hybrids for the badge anyway. Do you already feel more judgemental/ pretentious?

 

[Johnny Utah]

haha. suckers!

 

[characterzero]

smug alert!

I love it.

 

[Bay33saw]

Living in SoCal you must be paying close to $5's a gallon, way to go Hybrid...LOL

 

[scanny]

Never thought that conversion to hybrid could be done so easy,
that's a good one : )

 

[Samsdad1]

Now you need a V12 4X4 or even a Hummer above that...

deekoi,

Only had it in for a couple of days so far but it's true to what other's have reported on here. Slightly better response and better sound but not obnoxious. Haven't been able to notice much of anything else since it hasn't been in long enough. Hoping we get some more snow up at Mammoth so I can test it out on a long drive.

How much gas do you pump into your 4Runner?

I avg about $250 a month and since gas is rising... ($4.39 last night) 1-1.5k miles monthly.

Are you talking about the AFE, or the HYBRID emblem?

 

[SigSense]

Classic! You need to honk at every Prius you encounter.

I see you have a BMW sign in the back of your garage, Bike or car? I have a 07 GSA R1200 R/ Mike

 

[jca21]

it'd be pretty awesome if the 4runner DID come with an all electric motor.....

The battery would probably last like 40 yards
