    Sometimes we just get lucky - and this morning was apparently one of those times for me. I mean sure, I situated my truck for success the night before, and I'd brought the camera into the tent thinking there might be an opportunity to capture a bit of early orange hue, but I never thought I'd get the display that I did, while still warm under my comforter.

    It started as it so often does - just a hint of brightness along the horizon and deep purple highlights on the clouds in the sky. This is the moment, I thought to myself...

    It really was the start of an amazing day.

    I have mods
    A small bottle style wire brush (like those in a battery cleaning tool) and some WD40 are faster and easier for cleaning the splines in the rag joint and less prone to damaging it.

    Do a Toyota SAS then. Dont keep putting money into your front end if you want that SAS.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I just think the ScanGauge is such a poor show for the money, horrible interface and display. Plus it's an awkward chunky case too.

    Hmmm an Ultragauge is a good idea for a x-mas present now that I think about it. I usually just use my bluetooth ECU dongle and the Torque app on my phone but it drains the phone's battery something fierce. Would like to have an Scan/Ultragauge for referencing info without having to worry about my phone
