Looking for ideas on how to mount UltraGuage

Well, now we know. Thanks for checking on that and reporting back!

 

There is no oil temperature sensor on these trucks that I can find. I've looked through the manual as well as the parts diagrams, nothing.

 

Welp, that's that haha. Thanks for the reply

 

I should add, no sensor for the engine. There is one on the front diff.... maybe we could repurpose it. Lol!

 

I like where your head's at. Are there any tap ports in the cooler?

 

That's where I mounted mine. But with a stick on mount.

 

Nothing in the stock parts... easy to add.

 

Now that u mention it, idk if I've ever seen the front diff PID in the ultraguage settings.

 

We make A-Pillar UG and SG mounts for the 1st and 2nd Gens that hold the gauges securely and easily viewable:




For the 3rd Gen, we had KTJO4x4 try the mount with her A-pillar grab handle, and it seemed to work pretty well. Of course you have to buy her grab handle, and there's a whole separate thread on that topic .

 

As a third gen with a drivers side grab handle, it was a fiasco. But also your mount looks like a good option for those of us who came out on the other side of said fiasco.

 

I was dumb enough to jump in on the HUD she offered not knowing her history. They first time I came back to check on it she was given the permanent boot. I had to keep commenting on her posts on facebook to get a reply and she STILL never answered if she got my order in correctly because she doesn't show it on her website. I'm basically considered it a lesson learned at this point and if I get a hud, great.

 

Yup, having read that thread, we decided not to partner up with her.

 

I think you made a wise decision

 

@SpikerEng, do you plans on making an Ultra Gauge mount for 3rd Tacomas? That would be awesome, haven't really found a clean way to mount one yet.

 

The A-pillar grab handle would have been a good option, but we're looking into other ideas, given the grab handle fiasco. Or maybe we should design our own grab handle and bundle with a gauge mount.

 

@SpikerEng, hopefully you do come out with a mount. You guys make clean and awesome products, keep up the good work!

 

does your second gen option work with the current third gen grab handle option?

 

You mean with the KTJO 4x4 handle? She said it looked good when she tried it, though maybe needed a longer screw. Since we haven't actually seen an installation, we can't say that it works - still looking for a guinea pig (hint hint). Here's how it looked in her set-up:
