What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

What gauge wire and fuse did you use?

 

I have a twenty amp fuse in there, may be over kill but the original reason I put it in the outlets is for a fridge.

 

Alright sounds decent. The wire?

 

12g from the fuse box to the first terminal of the power outlet and 16g for the jumper wires and grounds.

Im unsure what kind of draw a fridge will have...

 

Yeah I was wondering that and if you'd need an ac/dc converter to run it, unless it's wired for dc already.

 

Nice! So I should be good when I put in the 3/8 spacer then. Like you I was told I only neede the 1/4" and I'm still low and it rubs sometimes when backing up so hopefully this will fix the problem! Did you do an alignment afterwards? My thinking is I shouldn't have to since my truck has dropped so bringing it back up to where it was I should be in specs again.

 

I took mine to an alignment shop after I finished. I'd already had the truck on the alignment rack once. It was off somewhat, but we decided to wait until I had everything done. When I took it back for the final alignment, much to our surprise, it was as close to "spec" as it could possibly be. In it's stock form, the truck tended to wander left and right on open roads. Afterwards, it has the steadiest steering wheel of any vehicle I've driven in years....Don't get me wrong, a lift won't usually do this. But mine started off "wrong" and ended up spot on. Sometimes even the blind squirrel finds an acorn!

 

Hand washed it! Can't remember the last time I did that. Forgot how much better it always comes out compared to the car wash.

 

Lmao well I can't stand our IT department at work

 

Trust me, we can't stand you guys either

 

Got the truck bed salty (technically yesterday )

 

That musta been funny for other motorists to see lol

 

You realize that the 265s are over an inch taller than the 245s, right? If you didn't get your speedo corrected, it's nearly 4% off now; so at least 1mpg of that loss is due to your incorrect speedo.

 

Yes.

My speedometer is accurate.

My ODO is off, but the trip miles are adjusted by the difference in tire sizes and I divide my (then) actual miles driven by gallons of fuel filled, like I always do, and it's always 18.5/19.5 MPG.

 

How does one correct the speedo, cause according to all the radars with digital readouts in the construction zone they all say im going 2mph slower than the speedo. Shpuld the dealer fix this? And my milage?

 

Might be interested in these. Can't find lordco using google. Link?

 

Dealer would not touch it.

But you can buy one of these

EDIT: Correct link for 2011+

It is cheaper if you don't buy the display thingy and just program on your computer

 

Its 4 months old which means i bought it with an inacurrate speedo i would think that should be covered as im still on stock tires and rims

 

+/- 2mph is within margin of error. They will not (and possibly can not) adjust that.
