What kind of MPG's are you getting with a setup like that? Taller tires and a V8 and all that.......

Just curious.

I have read rumors Toy might bring back the V8 for the Runner iin 2016.....

Not that I need it but if you can pull the same MPGs as a 6 then hey, it's there if you need it. The extra that is.

Of course the tires weigh a good bit so that hurt my mpg. I am getting around 14mpg. The good thing is that I work out of my house and when we go out of town we usually take my wife's company car. I would rather always take my truck but it is hard to beat free gas....lol

I would suspect that if they bring the V8 back it will be more economical. You have to remeber this one is an '03 so there have been a lot of changes since then. I will say it is nice having the extra power.

That's not bad at all. I am pulling 17.3 if I drive with some sense. On a recent vacation I was getting under 15 but that was a lot of traffic light to traffic light driving in a resort town. The roof rack doesn't help.

Yea the V6 does ok but it is nothing like the IForce I had in the Tundra. That was a missile. LOL Of course it was under 15 all the time.......

Cool, thanks for the info.

Thanks Man. I just added a bunch more. Not as cool. First time I ever felt ok with a lot of decals on a vehicle.

Sorry, I was on vacation.

I bought the bar here: http://www.truckgeardirect.com/bullbars/

The price is the best I could find. The bar does sit a little close to the bumper. I tapped a F250 at 2 mph and it pushed everything in. The damage was nearly $5k !!!!!

Get anything else but a bull bar or else be ready to pay crazy money should you tap someone or say a CJ with a spare mounted up high backs into you.

If my 4R wasn't a lease i would have taken the money and bought some real bumpers rather than have them fix everything.

My cousin has the same exact vehicle and bought the same bull bar. He had his shot with LineX. Looks way cool that way.
