I almost have 1000k on these now and the real world fuel mileage is up to 18L but that's mostly aired down and like 90% off road, the first run up was flat highway, it's still almost 5L difference in fuel mileage and my power way better.
Doing a bit of post winter update on the truck,
Lately I was really noticing a big drop in fuel mileage and power, especially on long hills the truck would hesitate to down shift and really try to lug it out up the hills, I'd have to almost give it full throttle before it would actually...
Finally got around to setting up the TRE E-Locker for my M205.
When I tore it down it had the typical stub shaft failure where the circlip let go and the splines got washed off so I gave it all new bearings and seals. Setting up gear sets isn't my favourite thing to do but I got a really good...
I got some new 285/75/16 Yokohama mudders. I decided to stay with the same size I had cause the trucks already bad enough on gas and I don't really need anything any bigger for what I do. I also ground down the welds on the front bumper and repainted since the first paint job didn't last more...
If anyone is curious where I got my E Locker for the M205 Titan diff from, they're finally available for purchase from TRE4X4 and on sale till the end of the month

Thanks for the real world feedback, I don't think I'm ballin enough to swap a 7 speed in here ahah.
I definitely think I'm leaning towards going bigger picture and stayin with the 3.36 ratio, seems cheaper as well.
I'm hoping this time next year that I'll be well underway in the v8 swap, I...
It's been a hot minute
I installed a prinsu rack... for no apparent reason, I just think it looks cool haha.
I've also got a E-Locker for a m205 waiting for install, which I'm really close to finding a donor diff (not so easy to find in my neck of the woods)
Which now that leads me to the...
So I recently added a 12k Winch with synthetic rope and Coastal Offroad High clearance bumper kit to the front of this thing. It went pretty smooth, I had to take the winch apart and rotate the clutch housing so the lever would fully operate, and moved the air bag sensor out of the way so that...
No regrets on my titanswap, for everyone saying the tire poke causes a dirty ride.. boohoo thats what fender flares are for, I run some long johns and theyre fine. truck still gets dirty but you didnt buy a truck for "overlanding" to look shiny and pretty on pavement.
the ride quality alone in...
Went up to a place top fry up some chicken sandwiches (I Imagine these are a world first since I cant imagine anyone else ever having done that here, so you know.. kinda a big deal)
Then we went and did some more camping at the coast but got rained on pretty good so traded the coastal...
Thanks eh!
She's definitely coming along these days, not sure what my next priorities will be, but I know I want a m205 and a VK swap at some point, I have to save up some money for a decent parts truck first haha. I will also wanna do front winch and bumper and sliders.
I did recently switch...
