Hybrid MPG After Preload/Spacer Kit, New Wheels & 33" Tires

What's up 4GTaco fam!! Check out this recent Trailhunter we wrapped up at the shop. John brought his 2025 Trailhunter in for a full 74Weld portal axle setup and supporting mods to make 37s fit and clear. The truck now runs 74Weld portals, 74Weld billet rear links, an ADD winch bumper, Warn VR Evo 10 S, Rigid SR lighting, hybrid power relocation, and Method 703s wrapped in 37" Toyo RT Pros. The goal was simple. Keep the hybrid system happy, keep the geometry correct with portals, and build a truck that actually works off-road without losing daily performance. Portal service was handled at the 500 mile mark, and the truck left with proper alignment and all clearances dialed in. This setup gives the Trailhunter more ground clearance, stronger axle geometry, better approach angle, and a clean front recovery system. If you’re looking at portals, 37s, hybrid routing, or you just want to know which parts actually work together on the new 4th Gen Tacoma, feel free to reach out. Mountain Yotas is always around for build questions, part recommendations, and helping you plan your setup the right way the first time.

Posting this up in case anyone was curious...

I added some Lock Off Road Combat wheels (17"), 33x12.5 Arroyo RTs, and a Peak front/rear trail kit with UCAs.

If I'm easy on the throttle, I've been able to average around 19 mpg with all the combined driving I do over 3 gas tanks. Definitely took a little hit, but I was sitting around 20 before. The lower numbers could be due to colder time of year and winter blend gas, so it may be higher depending on gas/weather.

The real test will come when we start to add bigger tires, camper, and more weight with armor. But so far so good.
