A College Student's Financially Irresponsible Build

Either BD or find a way to mount oem ones.

 

Get them amber BD lights

 

I might still undecided and it’s not a priority right now.

 

You still gonna order an UG?

 

Eventually Right now I’m trying to attain a tune and exhaust reroute.

 

Didn’t know you could tune these trucks without a supercharger

 

Ya there’s a HP tuner thread.

@HeadStrong Off-Road any idea when the HS 2.5” coils are going to be back in stock?

 

Also ordered satin black 3M wrap for my rear bumper. Should get here tomorrow, not sure when I’ll have time to install

 

Recently installed an Ultragauge as well with a spiker engineering mount. Pretty happy with it overall. The average gas mileage isn’t super accurate, but it’s pretty close. My last fill up showed an average of 16.3 mpg, but the math told me I averaged 15.7.

 

Did you have a chance to calibrate the UG yet? After calibrating it, I've been getting very accurate results at fill-up, down to about 0.1 gal. It's pretty easy to calibrate, as I recall it asks you how many gallons you put in at the last fill-up compared to what it calculated, and then it makes the adjustment.

 

I had no idea you were supposed to do that. I’ve only calibrated the speedo so I figured it’d be accurate. I’ll try and fix it today, thanks!

 

Yup, you need to calibrate both - the speedo for tire size, and the fuel usage for injector pulse fuel delivery. Good luck

I’m not a broke college student and I would have a hard time affording all of this. What’s the real story..

 

Great job with the truck!

My best advice is that if you are a broke college student who has limited automobile funds, spend first on maintenance to keep it running, such as engine/diff oil, transmission fluid, air filters, spark plugs, etc. I prefer using as many OEM Toyota parts as you can afford. I offset the increased price of OEM parts by doing most of my own labor.

Become one with YouTube. Anytime you have a job you've never tackled before, take a look there to see how it's done. Odds are it is easier than you originally thought.

Good luck at Baylor, and I hope you can find a new football coach soon.

 

what do you meani bought everything before going to college for the most part

Thank you! Pretty much all mods are on hold currently, and ever since I’ve gotten the truck I’ve done my own maintenance and all my mods. My grandpa is a mechanic and he’s taught me a ton since I was a wee child.
