What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Anyone w/ an 01 / 02 with a tach know if you have one or two trip counters (besides the main odo) on your odometer?

 

My 01 has 2 trip odos

 

Thanks. I have 2 on my 2nd gen and I use them for mileage per tank and oil change intervals - I might try to change out my 98 for a later one plus the white gauges are nice too lol

 

Was never tested. Previous owners never brought it in before the deadline, so I'm SOL. No doubt it would fail,especially if persuaded. So it's up to me to fix it now. If only it were a recall and not a safety bulletin.

 

My '00 has two - surprised your '98 only has one. Black gauges on the '00 though. I use one for tank miles, and the other for trip miles. Not sure I could do oil change intervals, since I disconnect the battery for various mods, and that resets the trip ODO's. Just something to keep in mind.

 

maybe I got to double check - it's been 8 months since I've had a running engine in my truck lol - maybe I can just hook up the batter and test some stuff

I usually have a good idea of where I'm at on oil since I cycle through them for mileage every couple weeks. If I reset the oil one I know pretty much where I left off.

 

the ultragauge has a oil mile odo that i use dosnt reset from battery disconnects

 

That's pretty sweet. I wonder if scangauge II has that - can't leave it hooked up since it has a 150ma constant draw with the engine off.

 

I fixed my trailer wire plug thing in preparation for something tomorrow.


No pictures though, yet.

 

I use crazy tech for oil change intervals. Pen, paper.

 

I have no life and can pretty much tell you where I'm at without the gauges lol

 

ooooo mr. high tec man. look out guys i use duct tape and sharpie lol

 

Best time of year... lol oops - I thought it was a current pic - or did you disregard the calendar on your camera?

 

what new years 11 years ago lol

 

hmmmmm should i go with a 4 link rear suspension or what lol im going for LT rear

 

How deep are your pockets?

 

for the rear suspension alone? i can set aside $6k at most. front is probably going to cost about that anyways. i do plan on using it for overlanding and trail riding but id like to hit the baja lol. we do have the indiana dunes nearby me so i can have some desert type fun lol

 

I say get the truck on the trail. Use it for a few years. Then figure out if you would actually utilize a 4 link setup.

 

Stick with sua
