    go to the site there is instructions for it.

    You go into the menu and you drive a known distance using mile markers and change the setting.

    i have one. But not in Frankenstein. Was too depressing seeing the MPGs just..die..haha its in my stock 03 double cab. so i haven't done the tire size calibration to it. But i looked it up. Pretty easy to do.

    jesus..

    glad they are okay.

    Really??? thats freaking weird..idk a shop that would do that in powell..did you even ask for a used tire?

    Not doubting... just saying... I was involved in a accident and we rolled three times...car was flat on all sides...lucky I walked away. I just thought maybe that driver side door would buff out;)

    Don't blame him a bit. It's hard losing a vehicle that you love and put money into.... Feels like you lost a family member...

    It happens so fast....there is no reaction .....till the next day. Be glad for safety regulations that allow us to walk away from accidents like this one shown. Sorry that sounds stuffy but it's the truth, and wear your damn seat belts!

    I wasn't wearing mine, i don't usually on dirt roads. While yes i agree wear them..but i was kinda glad i didn't have mine on..

    would have been trapped till some one could have come..luckily i was free and able to help my passenger get out safely first..which was good since she was freaked out big time.

    Yeah, I completely agree. I wear my seatbelt no matter what I'm doing.

    I remember after I had come to a stop I didn't want to get out of the truck. When I did and saw the damage I just walked in circles for about 5 minutes, then flipped out, then remembered that I should call somebody haha

    What freaks me out is I don't think the air bags deployed in that truck. I hit a telephone pole head on in my 2000 4 runner and the airbags didn't deploy....I knocked the pole at a 45 degree angle ....but no air bags....WTF?

    My friend Brandon, I also think he is on the forum now (bblank12) hit one at highway speed head on and knocked it down without deploying the air bags
