All wheel Drive looking X Runner

[TRON]

Well little update... Seems getting a quote on paint is harder than expected. I'm getting estimates anywhere from 3500.00 to 200.00 for the body kit. It's unbelievable really. Wondering what anyone thinks is the decent price for good quality paint job for the body kit only??

Off topic but; since I got my new wheels thought my gas mpg would go up due to having new street tires vs my existing AT tires. I'm getting 12.8 mpg city after first fill up on new tires. I know something has to be wrong with either the ucon, fuel pump, etc... The cam gears don't kill mpgs that much, right?? Any ideas on how to trouble shoot that would be great!!

For the full body kit, a quality paint job should be 800-1k with prep but with any body work that should go up.

Since the new wheels/tires were added, are the tires' overall diameter less than what your stock/OEM tire size was?

 

[TRON]

Yes the over all diameter is less; however, very small difference .6 inches to be exact... Still think my mpg is on the low side; bottom line I need a custom ucon tune for my attitude. Guess I need to call G for that

 

[TRON]

Well it was a cold 32 degrees today. Got 5 psi boost at over 6000 ft....:top: Its the aerodynamic body kit hahaha... Man I wanna move down to sea level and get 10 psi boost... :biggrin:

 

[TRON]

This tacoma moves just fine

 

[Torspd]

That is pretty awesome man! Still getting good traction in the snow with 4x4 too.

Ever get ahold of URD about checking out your tune?

 

[hrspwr236]

Whit is that nice white fluffy stuff :dontknow: when are you going to get the skirts painted?

I left gadget an email; so time will tell... Hopefully G can help out!!!; but noticed the other day my afrs would dip into the 12 and 13s for a second when I let off the throttle just cruising on the highway:dontknow:

Well really I'm just waiting to see how the adhesive holds... being 5* degrees outside now will tell the tale... But something I just noticed is that this body kit likes to accumulate snow...:thumbdown:
Probably wait till spring for paint...

If I were u I'd wait to paint it, no need to spend money on something that the salt is gonna beat the crap out of

 

[GR6RR]

^ yessir, wait game.

 

[TRON]

^^^ yeah no rush for paint... Need to figure out some kind of custom plastic sheeting to keep the snow from collecting in the side skirts and rear panels... Always something else to the build

 

[GR6RR]

someone on here has it installed, if you're referring to something like this...

If it were I... I would make it removable, after winter season...take it off. Doesn't look right with it on, but serves a purpose in the snow?...

edit: found it

Not the best one it comes to looks but after seeing some recent rock chips on the flares and inside fenders, I would even consider this!

 

[Torspd]

What's the latest?

Could always try clear plati dip

after about 2 months I finally noticed that your thread title is backwards...
Should be "XRunner looking All Wheel Drive." :laugh:

 

[Torspd]

What if it was titled like that on purpose???

 

[TRON]

Well the weather in colorado is finally above single digits. I just need to reattach a couple pieces that broke during those arctic temps. Only 4 out of 24 anchor points gave out. Notice going to the car wash; it's a little harder to spray the underbody being so much lower. Hoping to paint the whole kit this spring. I have an apr 7th injector and 2.7 pulley to install as well. Modding in the cold:thumbdown: Need to get in touch with G about tuning too once the 7th is installed

 

[Torspd]

A lot colder there than down here. Modding in the 30-40's isn't much fun. So I can only imagine how it is there.
