    Because you never calibrated like you're supposed to... ;)





    I took how many miles my trip meter showed. Say 300. And multiplied by 107.9% to add in the difference in tire size. And then used that as my calculated true distance.

    to calculate for your tire circumference difference, I just input my stock and new tire size into the tire calculator and it gave me my number for the difference, which was 7.9%

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/tirecalc.php?tires=265-70r16-33-12.5r15

    ___________________________________________________________
    Calibrate Distance
    MENU > Vehicle Setup .. > Calibration.. > Calibrate Distance
    Use this menu item to calibrate all Distance Gauges. This calibration also directly affects the accuracy of all Speed, MPG and
    DTE gauges. This calibration is especially necessary for vehicles which no longer have the stock wheels, tire sizes,
    transmission, or rear-end differential. This calibration will also compensate for inaccuracies in stock speed sensor and the
    vehicle’s distance measurement system. Perform this Calibration prior to all other calibrations.

    **** Calibration cannot be performed unless a distance of at least 4 Kilometers or 2.5 miles have been driven. ****

    To perform the distance calibration follow this procedure:
    1. Align front tire with first mile marker
    2. Reset the trip gauges: MENU > Gauge Menu > Zero All Trip
    3. EXIT THE MENU
    4. Travel to the 3rd mile marker (at 50+MPH), aligning the front tire to the mile marker
    5. Select: Menu > Vehicle Setup > Calibration > Calibrate Distance
    6. Change the value shown to 3.000 miles*, using the UP and DOWN keys
    7. Press Menu to save and set the calibration
    Once saved, the calibration factor will be displayed at the bottom of the display

    What PC said! I did this over 5 miles as soon as I drove it the first time. Should be accurate now.

    I never calibrated my Ultra guage because the odometer on the ultra guage is the same as my trip odometer. The MPH and RPMs on the UG and the dash were about dead on, so I thought that I would be wasting my time calibrating it.

    did you add the remote? and for your switches is that a custom panel or did you do it yourself?

    No not yet.. Maybe one day. I had the center console made using my stock one and they used one of the OTRATTW 6 switch panels as a base for the mold.

    Similar to this.

    I found a place that builds fiberglass sound boxes, and asked them to do it for me. They charged me $160 to make it.

    I we think in complete opposites! When I go out and spend $100 at the bar I am all like "I could had have put that towards an air tank"

    Meh alcohol has never done anything for me that I couldn't have done with out it. Yeah it's hard to win a shotgun contest with out beer, but nothing beyond partying/socializing and getting in touch with my feelings when I drink too much whiskey! :anonymous:
