I bougth a 17' trd Sport back silver in December and its all I have drove since I got it. 6 speed manual, 2.5" Icon lift w/ OME rear springs. Love that thing but the MPG is crap.

Yeah I'm lifted and running heavy ass Nitto trails, and the 6 speed manuals have 4:30 gears instead of 3:9x something I think it was with the autos. A friend of mine bought a 17 auto and his is turning 4-500 rpm less at the same speed down the freeway. mine gets 16 on the hiway slower speeds but get over 75 and it drops top 13.5

Lb7 update, still torn apart waiting on anew converter. Hopefully the new stall will help and we can try to get into the 10s. Plan on taking it to the track on May 23rd. If we don’t make it into the 10s I think I’m going to upgrade the charger in the valley. So my stealth 64.5 might go up for sale.

It was a pleasure to meet and talk to you and Ike in person Kate. Hopefully that log works out for Paul. Hopefully we to meet at a few more events in the area this year. I can't wait to see the truck back on the road and hitting the track when its done!

If you don't get into the 10s with that truck/setup, its not going to be because the size of the primary charger.

Katie, are you going coil over or just QA1 replacements? What did a set of these run you if you don't mind me asking?



I am looking at doing the same to my dd/weekend warrior/sled puller.


Double adjustable shocks for the front and rear. I bought directly from
QA1 they were $1,200.

Coming back together finally, ran into a few issues and other parts needing replaced. Hoping to still get to the track on the 23rd

Not sure how to post a video from the app, but this new converter has made this a new truck. It’s way more fun to drive

I like the Tacoma you have there. I bought a magnetic grey off road Taco in November with the 6 speed. Then got the wife an OR 4runner last month



I love my little Tacoma! I bought it in Jan, it’s my new daily. TRD Pro, might take it to the sand dunes in June

Katie, what’s the current drop on your truck? I have an 05 that is going low once the Caltracs show up. Have any pics with torsions dropped on bump stops and lowering shackles or removed leafs?

DJM 3/5 drop. No but I can grab more pics soon for you. Cal tracks don’t work with the DJM kit you have to make new brackets for them if you decide to use them.
