    Yes. I had a single din stereo that would connect via BT. I could play music and see the data in my phone. If you have a double din, I know there is a way to connect the OBD II reader to the head unit instead of the phone and see the data while listening to music.

    I have the stock head unit, with the premium audio system. I'm hoping the OBDII and the Head unit can both simultaneously connect to my phone and use both at the same time.

    Bought an Ultra-Gauge EM Plus 1.2.
    It'll probably arrive next week. I want to attach it to my windshield above and to the right of the rear view.
    Just something to check fuel mileage and other stuff.

    What @canopycarl said. Haven't had mine long but with some total chaos bed stiffeners the thing feels solid as all hell.

    I finally had time to put some tools in my tool box.

    and then I went into my sticker box and went on a sticker frenzy. Most of these stickers were received with parts from some of my previous toys with a few car audio/security thrown in.

    Cool deal and it should be in a spot pretty easy to hide the wire. I made a bracket for mine and mounted it right on top of the steering column. It works good but I like that location as well

    You can see that it pokes out a little but it's not noticeable

    Just stared at the taco today and thought about the day I'll finally have my suspension installed. Lol

    I went out last Saturday hoping to do the Hammer hangers and it was 20* I said nope. I did manage to get the brake lines done and a good start on some lighting when it warmed up a touch. I know 20 isn't probably cold where you are but not comfortable to me

    Set to November 5, 1955 and say hi to Doc. In all seriousness that worked out well. Nice setup.

    Not enough

    Double Cardan joint highly recommended! I tried everything leading up to this and it did solve all my vibrations...

    I have vibration right around 40 mph. It drives me nuts. I’ve researched it and everything I’ve found says the solution is a 1 piece driveshaft.

    I received my new steering wheel today and it looks great! :D Can't wait to get it installed. I found the Steering Wheel and Airbag for $400 w/ free shipping on eBay.. Seemed like a good deal. It took a lot of research to find. The price seemed good for both and it comes with a 90 day parts warranty which is what sold me.



    This is going on my 2009 Tacoma. I have steering wheel controls so I'm not expecting to have to buy a new clock spring but we will see. I chose the Highlander over the new Tacoma Steering wheel because the ergonomics are better for my style of driving.
