TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

What about a group buy on 3.4l turbo system?

 

I have the Ultraguage and I love it. Check my build thread for pictures. Don't have any on my new phone.

Negative not yet. Haven't heard back from him yet, I'm not really expecting them till the end of month.

 

Do you find it effective? Does the trip mpg actually work?

I am in no rush, but I am trying to plan the trip.

 

Armor group buy...

 

I like being able to see the actual radiator tempature when climbing mountains. For some reason it rates the 4Runner with a 15 gallon tank so the gas light and miles to empty are pretty close. However my average between the gauge and hand calculated is usually about 1-1.5 mpg off. It is kind of nice to have a ball park figure of the mileage I am getting.

 

Is the mpg high or low? or just high or low. I wonder if you can change the tank volume.

 

@ramonortiz55

I WANT A GROUP BUY ON PUPPIES

kidding

 

I made a tombstone for a reason...

Bingo

Pfffft who cares. My tires are so bald I'm surprised you can't see thread yet. Now they're also dry rotting but I'll probably still use them a little!

WHY WOULD YOU WASH IT?!? :thumbsdown:

All meaning second gen too?

Can't remember since I always look at this through my phone and can't see signatures but don't you use Fuelly too?

 

second gen, yes

 

The one time you tell me it is second gen compatible, is the one time I'm not THAT interested lol

 

I hate mud. I am 100% convinced that all my bumper rust issues are because of a poor mudflap/bumper design that allows mud to hand out after the car has been thoroughly washed. Makes it such a pain to work on if there is mud underneath.

The only vehicle I aim for mud is my work truck, because I don't work on it.

 

you arent the only one that hates mud

 

It runs high. So it would be reading 19.5mpg and when I fill up it would be more like 18-18.5mpg. Most in car calculations are off so doesn't bother me much. I get a decent figure that I can go off of. The tank volume doesn't bother me either since my gas light usually comes on when the miles to empty is close to zero.

Yes sir I track both cars with fuelly. Great way to track your gas mileage.

 

Mud is all fun and games till you have to wash it. I like playing in it, hate the clean up.

 

Well then you're both lame

I've been using it too. Do you think its accurate?

 

Fuelly should be as accurate as an hand calculations. I could see how the bitter cold weather has killed the gas milage on my 4Runner and Camry. Pretty interesting to see.

 

Well boys looks like I'll be getting a new cat back next Tuesday and then they will being produced for 3rd gens.
Sorry Ramon but your group buy made me think and I'm being used for this company's mock up.
I'll keep you guys tuned in.

 

What company?

 

Doesn't want me to say until it's done but they are in San Diego and make 1st Gen tundra 3.4 exhaust and 1st Gen Tacoma exhaust.
