    The baller ones of the OffRoad Community would be RCV axles/boots but not sure if you need the full package.

    Years ago when I had LT axle shafts I went with the SDHQ boots. Those still available?

    I’ve ran SDHQ boots in the past and currently giving allpro boots a try. Sadly I inevitably have some debris take out an outer boot about every year so no long term review.
    Since you’re lowered you’re cv’s will never experience the high angle capability they have. So oem would work fine imho. That or the two I recommended are what most off road guys are running.

    I think a lot of people don’t realize that was a thing. I’m in the same boat.

    You guys should be fine since you’re older models. I’d maybe try to ask the companies that sell the fitment kits for the tundra/ sequoia master cylinder just to make sure. A quick google search for Tacoma master cylinder upgrade and you should find a few options.

    Sorry if this was already asked, didn't see it explicitly stated after a search of this thread. Can ultragauge accurately read AFR and boost? Or do I need to get separate gauges? I know AFR is a preloaded option on my ultragauge, but not sure if I have to do anything else to it for an accurate read. I'm hopefully getting my truck back from the shop today, had the URD mk3 sc installed.

    thats awesome! welcome to this thread. at idle and mild cruising you should see things around 14.7.
    boost gauge is kind of elective. truck should make about 5lbs of boost depending on your elevation.

    @Flake Boost stage 1, rotrex 81. Is that a no as in I don't need to do anything else to use the ultra gauge? Or no the ultra gauge won't work?

    The ultragauge does not read nor display boost from the Tacoma, as there is no MAP sensor to receive and submit that type of signal.

    @Sirnick88
    UltraGauge does NOT have boost/psi reading capabilities for the 2nd gen taco.

    Ultragauge has an AFR "gauge" but it shouldn't/cant be used in lieu of a true wide band sensor and AFR gauge for datalogging.

    The way that the Ultragauge AFR works is almost by percentages. If the gauge reads 1.00, then you are at stoic (14.7).

    If the gauge reads 0.85, then you have an afr of 12.49. (14.7 x 0.85)

    If the gauge reads 1.15,then you have an afr of 16.9. (14.7 x 1.15)

    Hope this makes sense. This is off the top of my head. The ultraguage afr works ok and i have it displayed.....but its not a replacement for a true meter.

    This is correct, and additionally it is reading off the factory sensors which are very limited in their range of AFR detection.

    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    And to add to what @Flake Boost stated, the UCON will not allow you to read from the ECM the actual data, it detours and manipulates. AFR and Boost are what I consider the minimum amount of gauges you need to add when boosted. You're this deep already, spend a bit more and get the data you need to have confidence.
    I can remember a specific conversation with Gadget ~4 years ago where he was talking like the UCON could do so much more than what is current and they will be working on that. I assumed he meant launch control and similar. Not sure I knew it had bluetooth chips populated. Hmmmm...

    Welcome to the Club. And after years of running the S/C still no regrets.
