    You could've just got the engine warm and put it in the middle then gone and filled up your tank, just my 2 cents

    :notsure: seems legit, but it's not like it was any more difficult to take a pic...



    I keep thinking I'm going to sell mine because it seems like a chore repairing something every two weeks but I just can't find it in my heart to do it

    Love hate relationship describes it :thumbsup:

    If you have a manual transmission and an ultra gauge, this is how I set my gauges. I let it warm up and took a picture of the temp and fuel. Then if you have noticed the tach and speedo needles are in perfect sync in third gear. I jacked up the rear end and used the ultra gauge on the tach reading to 2000 rpm in third and set the cruise control. Then I set the tach needle to 2000 rpm, then the speedo needle according to the tach needle. I cross referenced it with the speed on the ultra gauge. I pass by radar speed signs every day and it was dead on (at least before I put the 33"s on)

    I don't think I need to mention but I will anyways. Secure the front tires and I removed the rear tires. Do not drive down the street trying to put your gauges back :)

    I learned this lesson long ago. Had an XJ where everything needed fixing all the time. Bought the Taco and absolutely dreaded the payments. Now, I have a paid off vehicle with some major durability. I've gotten 125k miles without major repair work. I figure I'll methodically work my way through all the mechanical wear items over the next year and get another 125k out of the truck. Nothing is like a 'yota.
