"If I had to do it all over, knowing what I know now" list of mods

Nothing wrong with them.

Budbuilts sliders I can get a bump out. And they are a little more usable as a step for the lady.

Budbuilt skids are smooth bottom were as the shrockworks the bolts are exposed. Only problem with the budbuilts is that if you run a sway bar and relocation kit it makes the front skid lower then the rest. That is why I went with the shrockworks. But I am now not running a front sway bar.

Don't get me wrong that the Shrockworks skids and slidders have saved me from some damage and I will continue to run them and beat them up.

Gotcha, just wondering if I made a mistake on my skids.

I was thinking about the bb sliders for the same reason.

What kind of mpg are you guys getting with skids, sliders, lifts, etc?

Not enough.....14-16 on a good day:hungry: If I was to do this all over again I would keep it stock (factory) :becky:

Fully modded out 14-18 mpg best case. Stock 18-22 mpg best case. The range is driving style, location and time of year. Somewhere in between for just skids, just tires etc. These are the numbers as reported over the last few years in multitudes of mpg threads. I sort of keep a general running average depending on mods.

I'm still all stock '13 SR5 and can squeeze nearly 22 hwy if I'm not too lead footed in acceleration... But I'm definitely planning on adding some stuff!

Can you guys give a noob any guidance on a basic recovery kit?

Haha... nice. I'm talking equipment though.

Here's a nice thread on this topic: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/121518-putting-together-recovery-kit.html

Did I mention that you can find this stuff by using: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/off-t...far-more-accurately-than-standard-method.html

what Mileage are you at? I have just passed 2k on my 13 and still am barely showing AVG 16.3 after some highway driving. I know it takes some time to get there and engine brake in so curious.

 

[swimmerdude1127]

3700 as of today. Reset it when you get onto the highway to be accurate for just the highway driving... otherwise it's an average that includes your city driving.

Mine will probably be going down slightly because in a couple days I'll be getting new wheels and heavier tires.

Are you going by that built-in meter in the dash? Don't use that for accurate measurements, calculate it the old fashion way if you are really curious. I've noticed that even when freshly reset, the meter is sometimes off by +/- 1 MPG.

 

[swimmerdude1127]

Good to know. Thanks. Yes, I was using the meter.

Yes i was using the meter by the clock, it is a little different as it does not give real time like in my Tundra and had gone up from 14-16.5 after 2k miles. Which I know it takes time to get the mileage up from what i have read.

Good to know and thanks for the info.
