96 Tacoma planned mods and ABA testing

[aktacoma]

planned mods as soon as they get here are:
electric fan- done!
small mirrors - done!
scan gauge - done!

when I get the material
will do grill blocking and an air dam

will be building a aero cap this summer so i will do ABA testing for that as well
already have synthetic fluids that will get changed at the same time and will do ABA testing for all besides scan gauge...
also plan to do ABA for topper on and off so hoping to help out others with same ideas for their small trucks!

If its an automatic Id wire in a way to use a switch to make the lock up of the torque converter below 50mph if its like my 97.

I had a supercharged trd with the automatic and v6. It got 18 mpg no matter what I did.

Update received the mirrors and fan today attached is an image of the mirrors both lenses pivot so i was happy about that and i decided when i get the motivation I will build a fairing for them as well out of rigid foam which shouldn't take me long at all and then when i am doing fiberglass on the topper I will fiberglass them as well

so updates I got my electric fan put in and i lied i wont do aba testing because it was such a PITA to do as far as removing the old clutch fan... and i wont know real numbers until later but my truck felt peppier not having the other fan on and my best cruising speed was 53 and i would get like 33 instant mpg now at 57 i get 33 so thats good!!

Finished my rearview mirrors today hoping this will help some!!
