Alaska BS thread

I gave my date her favorite beverage for valentines day. 87 octane of course!

 

Mine gave me bad news. Her speedometer is reading low by about 15%

 

welcome to the club haha.

 

Maybe it's her way of hinting that she wants a 6" lift and 35s.

 

I thought it would read low, but I had no clue it would be off by that much!

 

I ordered me a grillcraft black mesh grill insert and some window tint. Now i'm trying to decide if I want to paint my chrome grill to match or order a complete replacement in silver. I'm gonna have to get spray paint to do my turn signal trim anyway but i'm not sure how it'll hold up on the grill over all that chrome.

 

sweet! where did you order it from? I think that may be my next mod. I know I've said numerous times that I won't do anything to my truck until I lift, but I really want to get a new grille lol.

 

Amazon

 

Ya know, I'm laying here next to my amazing wife and I can't help but share with you guys. My GOODNESS did I ever marry up! She's my best friend, confidant, fellow adventurer, and a wonderful mother. And don't even get me started on the sandwiches!

 

Just ordered some mesh from these guys. Their customer service was awesome and they had it cut and shipped out that day. I got it two days later. Also, shipping to AK isn't insane. I got it all shipped for $62. I didn't like the mesh they had listed for my truck so I just e mailed them and aksed them to cut another pattern for me. Super fast responses.

Awwww

 

I think that will make your problem worse

The fast I am going, the more low my speedo reads. When I am going 25, I am pretty close to my speedo. When I am going 70... well, I am actually going fast enough to get a pretty nasty ticket.

 

My speedo (with cruise control) was set at 60, my GPS clocked me at 50.

Sorry for getting my terms confused. It was a long day at work.

 

I think that there IS a way to fix it I just cat remember the name of the device, I know it ain't cheap though.

 

Bigger tires!

 

Ohhh I get it. that IS really low.... At least you wont get pulled over for speeding

 

I wonder if the speedometer can drift over time. It saw 13k miles per year before I bought it (commuter from Wasilla).

According to Edmunds, spedometers can't be off by more than 5% (+/- 2.5%) by federal law...

 

Called the alignment center and he's pretty sure they can adjust the speedometer depending on the parameters Toyota input to the Ecu. Should be an hour labor and they won't charge if it doesn't work.

 

i was in a vehicle when it was pulled over for going too slow once.... and we were in the slow lane...

 

Soooooooo I really don't feel like going in early today to see the colonel lol

 

Women prefer the 91 Octane. Smells more potent

How slow is too slow?
