2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

Anybody plan on getting the snails?

 

Snails sound really fun. But not sure if the supercharger or turbos are best for me. I think I'd need to see some videos reviewing how each drive before I made a descision.

Better yet drive a taco with them!

Although honestly I feel like price will be the biggest factor overall.

 

Pour over makes the best no muss no fuss serious getdown cup of Joe.

 

Might as well talk about snails and/or coffee.

 

How much does a full long bed of snow weigh ?

 

Not sure, but I bet 2.0 FOB will haul it better... just spitballing, since only a select few know..

 

Dry snow: 385 pound payload, Wet snow, 1,100 pounds payload

 

Wow. I got a load on counting the sand tubes.

 

I gotta get on that!

 

Yes I use the gold filters

 

FOB 2.0 releasing sometime in 2020, be sure of that. It’s actually being renamed FOB 2020 and the year is now known as 20 2.0

 

The Aeropress makes a nice cup too! Do it!

 

Anyone have a mokapot? Tasty.

 

A friend uses one of those for camping. It certainly makes a great cup of coffee, but dang it is a mess every step of the way.

Going that route, I could break out my old french press. It doesn't seal well around the edge, so I got coffee and breakfast at the same time. Double feature!

 

I have always wanted to try one out, but I have a worry about cooking with aluminum. My fam has some weird, somewhat hereditary head issues, so I try to steer clear. If there was a steel version . . .

 

Yes. Get a stainless version. I am like that with Al as well.

 

Wait... how's it messy? It's so easy to clean. You just pop out the coffee puck, rinse and you're done!

 

Maybe my friend is a bit careless (much like I'd be before that first cup), but there would always be grounds and splashes everywhere either from the initial stirring or when cleaning out the business end. Not a big deal at a campsite, but more than I want to deal with daily at the office. I also have the same feeling about grind-n-brew coffee makers.

The concept is very cool and is close as it can get to real deal espresso.

 

Dang. Now, I have to go looking.

 

How important is the base ECU tune when running 87 FOB Performance, for example? I have the 8966304A7000 ECU Tune. It looks like I could self-TSB update to (...)A7100...should I? I need to redo the OVtune procedure over again right?

PS, speaking of procedures, I only drink pour over coffee at home: Peet's Italian Roast ground at the store on #2, brown paper filters, 3 repeatable scoops, water temp @200°F, first pour only enough to de-gas, pour every 60s until I fill the same container that I use every time. This is the result of a little bit of experimenting and adjusting for taste.
