On a ferry to the Orkney islands of Scotland!



Sharp eyes will notice that recently we've been averaging 15.0 mpg on the non-interstate roads of the Scottish Highlands, but gas (petrol as it's called here) is a bit over $8 USD per gallon.

We just posted our write-up of our three week, 1,500 drive around the Irish coast if interested at www roguewanderers.com

 

TSS Sensor
Hello,
Can anyone make some suggestions as to what I can do to stop the sensor warning from appearing on my dash, it was fine for about 3 weeks after I changed my grille to the TRD Pro Grille, now every time it rains or mists outside the sensor warning comes up on the dash, is there anything I can do to water proof the sensor itself?

Also being pelted with bugs it goes on. can i put silicone above the sensor plate or should there be no silicone there?

Please advise.
Thanks

 

Maybe try reseating the sensor? Sounds like it’s slightly off so it goes off all the time

 

Try this:

 

How do you reset the sensor?

 

Would it be possible to cover the sensor from inside the hood area with the recall fix that toyota did a few years ago? it was like a foam cover or a gasket to seal out the moisture. wonder if i could make one with a some gasket material and a sealant or double sided tape.

 

Thanks for the details. There is a dream to own a camper in my future.

 

Wow!

You are definitely in the HIGHLANDS!

My wife was born in Coatbridge, near Glasgow and we've visited the Edinburgh/Glasgow area before our eldest daughter was born in 1990.

First born will be 32 this month...which means, we were there 33 years ago!!!

I was stationed at RAF Wethersfield (1989-90) and RAF Mildenhall (1990-93).

Thank you for sharing your experience...last I remember, 3.8L = 1US GL.

 

Walmart!

 

Toytec provides a spring lift for the TRD Pro. No blocks. You have to replace the factory springs (fox) with their 700lbs springs and that will give you the full lift (only for the front coilovers). I thought about going that route because it's pretty cheap....just dangerous as hell to compress the spring!

 

Well that sucks. Thank you. Now I have to touch that darn light again!!

 

That's not an easy fix, but maybe you can tape off around the third brake light and use a gasket maker to seal it off in place without having to move anything. That's what I did with my MESO third brake light and it works very well.

 

On a long drive from Cali is Texas at one point my cruise control shut off.. It was the bugs lol.. I pulled over got a rag and some water and cleaned it.. I had to shut the truck off and turn it on again to reset the sensor.

 

Reseat, like take it out and put it back in

 

rent a spring compressor or ask a shop to do it for you, id rather pay a few bucks then do it wrong and lose a finger or an eye.

 

Thanks, it will def help “guide” my expectations…and bolt locations are always helpful in real time.

Oh, and I got a box…scoop pic for attention and #becauseweallscream…



Next day off will dive into this and provide some pics in “the build thead.”

 

That's the truth!! I've seen a spring pop out of the "rental" ones and it was scary as heck to see how much energy came off it. Luckily no one was hurt, but the guy doing it wasn't having it after that.....went to a shop with a big press to do it!

 

I'm much more of a frito pie guy than ice cream

 

I can respect that Fritos passion…but when you’ve had VT cream from the teat of the cow in Waterbury…
