1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Kennel training is key. As ours got older they no longer needed a kennel in the house but they still respond to the kennel command and go and sit where the kennels used to be. Very handy.

 

Any gotchas with buying a used ScanGauge?

One just popped up in the local B/S/T thread: 37611

Also accepting compelling reasons I should get an UltraGauge instead... from what I can tell the only meaningful differences are form factor and price.

 

Seems like you got one cuddly puppy

Did she do well on the trip?

 

Should work fine, it's a good deal for a SGII. The Ultra displays more info on the screen without having to scroll through options, but I wanted the SG because of it's slimmer profile. Already have a boost gauge and an AFR gauge and wanted something a little less conspicuous. For most though I'd recommend the Ultra for better bang for the buck.

For that price though I'd grab it if it's available

 

Uhh as long as it plugs in and works it should be fine.

The UG screen is much easier to read but the SG2 is a good product

 

Absolutely!

She's super easy on car rides.

And last night, was the first night we put her in her crate and she didn't whine once. Today was the first time she voluntarily walked in it. She's taking to training so quickly and easily.

 

If I had to do it over again, probably would've gone with the UG. SG does the job but the UG has a much nicer display.

Mounted mine here using a RAM mount setup.

 

Shes getting there. She knows when the kong toy comes out to head to the crate. Still working on associating actions with words such as outside/inside, crate, get off, etc.

 

Good deal, worth it for the games and monitor alone. Too bad I’ve got one already haha

 

By far one of my best online finds yet. I’m building a home theatre and found these in-wall Snell Acoustics speakers on Facebook for $100. Brand new, only installed to test fit.

I didn’t realize what I had till I got home and realized they retailed for $1,100 each. What’s even crazier is I looked up the name and address on the 2003 shipping label and it turns out it belonged to a famous Percussionist, and the address led to a $14.5 million dollar mansion in the Hollywood hills.



It’s all in a TIG welded aluminum enclosure too. Very well made.

 

Only $1199

 

Man overlanders are getting crazy

 

7 year old account and 9 post. Thats sus

 

I wish I had spent more time working with him on

How does the ram mount attach to the dash? I need something like that for my phone lol

 

.stolen pull over tyler... do it... do it now!

 

Which part of an airplane are you going to embed them in though

 

Poking away at little stuff. Cut and bent the crawl box shifter so grabbing 2nd gear doesn't pop the case into neutral. Changed the oil in both cases.

Did some math and have a guess to why I am still puking hydraulic fluid, my ram is 14oz or so of displacement and my new resi is like 24 oz so fill level matters quite a bit.

 

I used the following (yeah, I know - pricey but gift card balance and reward points lol) -

$40 RAM Mounts RAP-B-400U Tough-Claw Small Clamp Base with Ball with B Size 1" Ball for Rails 0.625" to 1.14" in Diameter

It is stable but then again I'm not pounding over rocks with 35s so

I have the base bolted to the pop-out piece. If secured to the dash more permanently, I bet it would stand up to any trail abuse.

 

Giving myself a crash-course on UltraGauge/ScanGauge.

UltraGauge has audible alarms. That's the one feature I can find that I'd miss from the ScanGauge II.

The permanently-attached cord on the UG is a bummer compared to SG's detachable/relocatable cord.

I found that there's a ScanGauge III listed now. I haven't seen any mention of it on the forums here: https://www.scangauge.com/products/productsscangauge-iii/

It doesn't look appealing to me, though--the UI looks cluttered and unpleasant to use, more complexity means more chances for bugs, and it's $250.

 

I use one of these stuck to the clock blank. Probably not as sturdy as a RAM mount, but super convenient. It holds up to moderately washboarded dirt roads.
