not sure that's true. I searched for D rated in that size and only found the General Grabber AT2 in an All Terrain. That tire is discontinued and General only make E rated in that size. Jump up to a 17" wheel and the options open up quite a bit.
I'll have to remeasure... but front is pushed forward ~3" for the axle to clear the oil pan... and rear is back 1", IIRC... So maybe ~130" is a better estimate.
he said his Tacoma gets 16-17... I was able to eek out 18 on a Tundra that was ~1k heavier and with 2 more cylinders.
People tend to assume that less cylinders = better mileage... but that's not a rule....
That’s an assumption, but not a guarantee. It depends on torque curves, HP curves, gearing, etc. I got as much as 18.5 in my crew max - better than your smaller Tacoma...
part of the reason the ARB sticks out so far is due to the pedestrian collision design criteria forced upon the manufacturers. That's one of the reasons the new Tacoma's and 4Runners have extended noses. In order for ARB to maintain it's signature design, they were kind of forced to go in front...
If Toyota would put the 4.6 V8 in the Tacoma... then I'd have some interest. Until then, there are simply better truck options, IMHO...
Been eyeing up the 4Runner recently... considering selling the xtracab and SAS'ing the 4Runner. I don't know why. …
I personally see no value in the TRD models. Most people spend thousands extra to get the rear locker and throw the rest of the upgrades away. Big fan of both of my SR5’s.
That’s the drivers side diff mount. Get a picture of the frame from the wheel well - I’m betting, based on the pic of that mount, that your frame is bent.
I’ve had to spread the lower mount on a truck or two to get a brace in - they can be manipulated. Shoot, though, that was in 96 to install a Downey brace with a Rancho kit.
I’ve seen a couple of frames collapsed right behind that mount. Kind of dimpled, I guess. I can imagine that being a PITA...
