    I have an Ultra Gauge already! But it’s still off like my speedometer, how would I calibrate that to be accurate?

    Would you mind linking? I was looking at Dakota digital but only seen the speed calibrator for motorcycles…

    Stuff and things, a few bad words and definitely a stiff back after this one but it's on
    IMG_20220107_162352.jpg

    I'm thinking about trying to get the top piece off the stock bumper that's color matched to fit on top of this plate bumper to clean up the body looks just a smidge, however the PO put JBWeld on all of the panels clips that hold it in place so I'll mess with it another day

    Stuff. Also things.
    Pretty sure the procedure is out there, but if I recall, you find a mile marker, start the calibration, and then end it at the next mile marker. Or something along those lines. I just found a back road that I could use and had it done in no time. Matched the GPS exactly!

    That said, the DD calibrator is definitely a step up, as you get corrected data at the speedo and odometer as @Speedytech7 mentioned. Between it and the UG, you’re good to go.

    Good luck either way, and let us know how it goes!

    Well, it smells sweet, feels slippery, and leaves a spray on the underside of my hood...?

    "What have you done to your Tacoma Today?". Apparently I sprung a leak in my radiator.

    Coldest night of the year so far last night. I have coolant ratio for -35F. Only hit 5F. Coincidence...?

    Might just be old plastic and a dramatic temperature swing.
