Me, "Hey Tod, just curious how you ship from engnbldr"..... "UPS, sir.....but our Cable-net is being serviced, in fact, all over the PNW, so we're not able to send you tracking stuff.....Lemme look....... it says, 'In truck scheduled to be delivered, today' , ....sound good?" Me, "YES, WOOT, WOOT!" hahahaha.
Seriously, Bo, ...how many vehicle owners, other than Toyota, get so excited about the UPS man showing up with parts so they can work on them for hours???? hahahahaa.

My UPS man for a year and a half has been the same black fella named "Duke" who is a member of a hunting club and he's CRAZY over my yota. Constantly begging me to sell it to him.
"When you gonna sell me that yota bo??? I need me somethin to run a deer down with!"
He walked up the other day and said "Whats goin on Bo!?! How's my ole yota doin???"
And followed that with "Aye man, you gotta dip i can borrow? I got just enough in my lip to piss me off!"
Yes! Im prayin he'll come tomorrow cause im ready to have second gear back!!!

Just found this on another website, Copied and pasted here because i always knew my MPG was off...But not by this much.
Usually ive been getting about 14.43096 to the gallon...So basically 14.5 to the gallon with 34x10.50's
But now that i calculated everything as i should be, im actually getting 17.5 to the gallon! Big difference!!!
This is how you do it...
Assuming your speedo was correct with the original tires. Measure the circumference of the original tires. Measure the circumference of the new tires. Subtract the old size from the new size. Then divide that number by the old size. This is the percentage difference. Say your old tires were 104" and the new ones are 135". 135 minus 104 = 31. 31 divided by 104 = .29808 or rounded off .30 or 30%. So your new tires are going to go 30% further per revolution. So, when you fill up with fuel and check how far you have driven you will multiply that number by 100%+30% or 130%. For example you drove 280 miles and used 18 ga. of fuel. 280 X 1.30 = 364. This is how many miles you actually drove. Now divide that by the gallons of fuel used, 364 divided by 18 = 20.22 MPG. This is also how far off your speedometer is. Say you are traveling 60 mph on the speedo. 60 x 1.30 = 78 MPH.
Basically my old tires were 225x75 (28.3) and my new tires are 34x10.50
34 (Current tires) Minus 28.3 (Old tires) Equals 5.7
5.7 Devided by 28.3 Equals 0.2014134 Rounded to 21%
(My last fillup said i got 220 to a tank and i put 15.246 gallons in...so im going to go by that)
220 Times 1.21 Equals 266.2
266.2 Devided by 15.246 (Gallons) Equals 17.460317 MPG's
So im getting 17.5 miles to the gallon
I know its confusing, but if you take what i just did, and change my tires out with yours, and follow the instructions, it will give you yours.

My mileage still stinks! grrr! I guess I get to chase that down, next, haha. I only run 31's, and I think I got 180Miles out of the last 14 GALLONS!!!!! Geeeesh! I KNOW, with 31's, it's probably more like, what, 200 miles?, and it's all STOP, GO, SIT, SIT MORE, STOP, GO, SIT MORE Los Angeles driving... BUT STILL! lol. What's weird is, ...I seemed to get around 20mpg on the highway... with 31's, so whatever that is, REALLY, according to the difference due to tire size....Maybe 21 or 22? I mean, 14-22??????? I must have some gooopy stuff going on in there, ya'all! lol. Heck, I've even had a fill up of 14gallons and only had 160mi. on the gauge!!! Can't afford it! lol. I think I have to move my 02 up closer to the motor, for one.
