I get 17mpg with 31's on 4.37 gears. I'm sure if i didnt gas it all the time i could get like 24mpg but i like to hear my engine. But @ $1.55 /L here (which is like $6.20 a gallon) it gets expensive.

 

Hey 82odyota, your truck looks great in the avatar, mind sending me a larger pic?

 

I plan on DDIng mine once I get all the rust holes taken care of

 

holy old thread, batman!!

Al

 

i DD mine. never had a major problem, other than different tires and seats its all original. 150,000 miles

i just recently had to block off the air injection ports and will prally get around to blockin the egr and capping vaccum lines tomorrow

 

I miss DD'n my yota I jsut cant justifing killing my swampers in 9months anymore no issues but it took a while to get the maintance up to par after i first bought it

 

i had a 94 4x4 i use to daily drive that 290,000. my 82 was in WAY better shape.

 

i dd my 80with 95k just wish it had a fifth gear but no problems other than slow

 

I dd mine everyday 30+ miles and just did a 300+ mile road trip and didnt have a problem

 

I DD my 83 and 90 (one for me and the wife) currently fixing the frame on the 83, hoping to get it done soon, why is it that as soon as you have one down for repairs, NOTHING goes as planned and other things break the minute you do not have time???

 

I have DD my '82 4X4 since 1997its got over 225000 miles on it. I've done a lot of rebuilding on it and kept it reasonably serviced. Toyotas are the toughest vehicles I've owned in the in the 45 years I've been driving. All vehicles have quirks, even same models of the same make. To me driving a Toyota is like owning an AK or a Glock, they just keep working. Search youtube for "How to kill a Toyota", amazing!

 

I dd my 80. welllll sort of...
every couple months or so it seems like i find a new old age associated problem that needs fixing...

 

I drive my 81 everyday. I love the looks it gets from people, like a big tonka toy. I need to get a different set of tires and wheels to keep from wearing out my 35s.

 

I drove my 83 truck for prob 8 months 4 of those months had a lift and 32" tires weber carb offy intake and exhaust prob averaged 18-22 per gallon ac worked the truck cab was a little small for my likings. My 85 4runner i daily drove it for over a year 17-20mpg i only changed to my 87 corolla gts as my daily cause it gets 25-28mpg every little bit counts when your saving for new lift etc...
