What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yes

and yeah. Basically our lab died in the spring, I was at school so my Dad got bored from it being lonely around the garage/house with the dog gone and started feeding the squirrel. Being shy at first, she now comes around and climbs up on me waiting for a peanut. No way on gods green earth am I going to try and pet it though... especially with it on my shoulder that close to my money maker

 

ooooooh. Where ya gonna mount that?

 

Doin some bumper work..

 

I have It mounted but forgot to take a pic I have it next to the drivers side pillar on the dash, this little thing was worth every bit of $50 haha

 

Right? Pretty cheap mod for the help/entertainment it provides

 

Ya its pretty nice it tells you DTE, miles per hour, MPG and a bunch of other stuff like CEL codes, Im a fan!

 

Can you take a pic of how you mounted it? I had mine on the left of the steering column but the heat caused the adhesive to come off and I just removed the whole thing.

 

Ya ill make sure to send you a PM also so I know you got it

 

is that a scangauge or ultragauge?

 

Ultra

 

Ultra, I couldn't bring myself to buying a scangauge to much change because I am buying tires next

 

Just plugs into the OBDII port and you're good to go?

Or do you have to do some sort of calibration that involves a sundial, calculus III and being fluent in Latin?

 

lol
just the obd port and your good as long as you don't have abs brakes then I heard it can mess with stuff and not work correctly

 

only thing you have to do if you want is calibrate it for bigger tires. Pretty easy to do though.

 

You just plug it in the scanner port and you put in your engine size and tank size and you are good to go, I only messed with it for about 30 mins so im not entirely sure what I have to do and what its capable of

Do you also have one? And how do you calibrate for bigger tires?

 

i reset the distance traveled, and then travel an exact known distance. I did mine on a 110 mile trip from gville to orlando. Then enter the distance into distance traveled and it should read the correct speed. i checked it with a speedo app on my phone.

 

I know there's a percentage that you change, and I think it's under actual distance travelled like 4banger4x4 said. My 33's equate for 7.7778% difference.

 

How fast did your ultra gauge ship

 

2 days

Ok I zeroed everything when I plugged it in so ill try to remember this for whenever (if I ever :rolleyeyes) get my truck back
