Looks good except for that stupid little chevy blazer wing on the back. I just hate those things. But the runner looks wicked nice. You should paint it up like eightnines 4runner.

At least theyre not chrome. And I like them so they stay on.
I took the gay spoiler off. I was thinkin about painting it like that but i don't want to copy him.

Nice lookin' rig! I love the shag on the arm rest.. 
8-12mpg is pretty darn low.. Have you done tune up stuff? These turbo motors go through plugs quicker and its much more noticable when its time to change them then the non turbo.
FWIW I got 16-18 in my turbo pickup. I know they are lighter then the 'Runners but i wouldn't think there would be that much difference in MPG.
Although if you are shifting into Low range on the street that might have an impact...
Enjoy!

Nice truck, the altezza tails suck, and it's 135hp stock.
is youre turbo even boosting? it shouldnt be THAT slow... hook up a boost gauge and it should be 6-7psi... with that many miles on it... it might not be boosting at all...

Is there a cheap way I can do that? Without buying a full on boost gauge? Theres already one there just with no numbers and its goes to the top every time. Look at the picture on the dash on page one. If it isnt boosting what do I do? Rebuild the turbo?
