I'm sure there are people here that drive their mini monster trucks daily. When I get mine it's going to be my daily driver and I just wanna know what it's like as far as driving, gas mileage, ect. Any info would help, thanks guys!

 

Hey there, on my 91 when it still had the V6 in it I got around
14 MPG on the HWY and 12.5 in town. Also the truck had a 4 inch
suspension lift with 33 12.50 R15's tires. I heard with lower gearing you can acheive better mileage, when the truck grew I never bothered to change the gearing thus losing 5th gear. Now the truck has over seven inches of lift and a Chevy 350 in it, now I can use 5th gear but the milage had gone down to 10.5 MPG.

 

You got to check out THIS daily driver:

My brothers Taco is a daily driver.
He has dropped in mileage to about 15-18 MPG. But he loves his truck and it seems to be worth it.

I can't wait to get my truck!

 

Is there any particular reason he lists SAW coilovers and shows a pic of the Fox ones instead? Next time I see him post here I guess I'll ask him.

 

hey jason what's up i didn't know colin was your bro

 

Only pure laziness. I like that shot of the truck and have not updated the site with a new photo where the SAW's and 35's are visible. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I have starting to get more photos of the truck in it's current configuration and the site will change to reflect that. I also have not gotten around to updating the mods page with all the stuff I have done recently. It's on the list of things to do, but wheeling is more fun than keeping the site current I *had* the fab's but now have the SAW's and I imagine I will have the extended King's for a while before I get a photo of them up there.

Here's a more recent shot where the SAW's and 35's are visible.

I here ya, that's why my site is lacking. I have only updated the text cause that's easy, the pics are a different story because with that stupid 5mb I get from time-weener I have to arange everything to get the pics I want in there. takes too much dang time!
