You need to find another forum dude. We can't all reply very fast, and some of us just don't know our accurate milage. Stop being so damn impatient. It's the weekend, not everyone is on this forum 24/7. Not everyone is set up just like you. And mileage has been talked about several times before, so the search function would help you also.
I'd say you're about right with your mods. Seems more built for power and torque than mileage.
My 22R got about 13-15 mpg. It was very tired and not set up well. Plus I had 32-33" tires and 4.10s. I swapped in a 3RZ and I get 18-20mpg on 33s and 4.10s. Running 80mph usually.
And btw, you can catch more bears with honey than with vinegar.... Try being nicer...

Are you compensating your mileage for the taller tires? What gears? If you use a GPS to track your actual mileage you might find you are doing better..
Edit--just saw the 5.29s..
Seems like it could be a hair higher but in Oregon we get stuck with that 15% ethanol crap gas that sucks balls...
None of my 5 Toyota 4x4's have been mileage champs in stock or modified form-nature of the beast..

I had almost the same setup and that seems a little low, but not way low. I got 15-16 in town and ~20 on highway IIRC. I get about your present #'s with my DCOE's and ~70k on my rebuild.
