My apologies for all the alerts. I didn't realize I needed to have a space before the @ when I added your names to the list...

Bump.

916carl · Sep 3, 2015

I posted on the 4 Runner forum but haven't gotten the responses like we are getting on TacomaWorld (but we did get 1!). If there is another forum, group, club, etc... you know that might be interested please let me know and lets get them on board!

Quote my first post with all the info, then when the window opens copy it all then close it. Go over to the other forum and paste it in a post there with a link. Just give me a link to that forum so I can track anyone who wants one.

Let's get out there and sell, Sell, SELL!!!!

I don't know. A Google search would be in order as well as maybe starting a thread here for current UltraGauge users. A quick check found me this thread from last year. Things change in a year so there is likely more current info out there:

Looks like it according to the UG documentation:
http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/support/Ultragauge_MX_1.3.pdf

So, as long as your model uses CAN (listed in page 3 of the UG link above) it will.

Edit: Only listed with the UltraGauge MX V1.3

Only if you get the UG MX 1.3 model. From what I can tell the Tacoma does have codes for trans temp.

Hoping so because I'm going MX probably.

HoosierTaco06 · Sep 3, 2015

Put me down. Might need to get an mx 1.3.

Nasty · Sep 3, 2015

Add me to the list. Not sure which model yet, but I'll buy one.

DesertDunes · Sep 3, 2015

If I can make my purchase on the 15th then I'll get one. Won't have any cash "burning a hole" in my pocket until then

916carl[OP] initial post: ↑

I was contemplating the UltraGauge and thought "surely someone on TacomaWorld has bought and installed one of these, let's see what they thought" and did a search. Holy cow! There have been several successful group buys over the years, with the last one ending Sep 2014 with something like 60 sold. In that GB the price went from $69.95 to $50.95 when they reached 50 committed buyers. I don't know if that pricing is current but I thought I would throw it out there to see if there was any interest?

UltraGauge:
http://www.ultra-gauge.com

Past GB:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultra-gauge-group-buy.296712/

Edit 9/1/15 - so it seems like there is some interest in this. I've never done one of these GB before so bear (bare?) with me. Above is a link to the UltraGauge GB from last year that may have some useful info for you.

More info - The discounts are listed below. More details from the last GB listed in the link above. All models are discounted. So we would start a list here of those who want to buy, when we get to >50 (taking whatever time we need/set) we will let UG know and they will give us a code. Those on the list have 1 week to pay. When 50 people have paid (must be done in 7 days) the product ships.

The group buy prices are:
UG v1.2: $50.95
UG Plus: $54.95
UG MX: $64.95

UltraGauge EM v1.2 - check the website for features, they are numerous.

UltraGauge EM Plus -
The UltraGauge EM Plus is identical to the UltraGauge EM v1.2 except for the following additions:

Readiness Monitors (basically emissions)

Performance Measurements (0-x acceleration times, braking from x to x times)

Additional Wide O2 Sensor support to track Stoichiometric AFR via Lambda

In addition, when a trouble code alarm occurs, the first trouble code found is displayed during the alarm event. Previously, the menu system had to be used to view the trouble code.

UltraGauge MX v1.3 -
The UltraGauge MX 1.3 is only recommended for advanced users that are very comfortable with technology and are familiar with the concept of OBDII codes. For all others, we highly recommend the UltraGauge EM Plus. The UltraGauge MX 1.3 is identical to the UltraGauge EM v1.2 except that the MX 1.3 has the ability to POTENTIALLY access manufacturer specific gauges. The best source of gauge codes is on an automotive forum specific to your vehicle.

Discounts including mounts:

I've added the names of those who said they wanted in but left off those who did not specifically say they were in. If you want in say so and I'll add your name.

I'd like to get at least 55 to account for anyone who doesn't buy within the 7 day window.

If you keep this going for another week or so I think you'll have more than 100

Kyitty · Sep 3, 2015

Looks like we're at 51 on the OP's opening post.

We'll see. It started off fast but has since slowed down. I think all the regulars who would buy have opted in, now we're trolling for the stragglers and occasional folks to log in and see it...

Usethe2nd · Sep 3, 2015

Let's do it!

packers15 · Sep 3, 2015

Count me in, I will buy one.

I'd like to get to at least 55 from this site. Not so sure about the other sites... I think we'll get some more this weekend and be ready to pull the trigger early next week.

DesertDunes - I don't think I can hold off for 2 weeks, but if I submit to the vendor on Tuesday the 8th and we get the code on Wednesday the 9th, it will be good until Thursday the 16th!

Kyitty · Sep 3, 2015

Keep in mind Monday is Labor Day. Even if we waited until Tuesday to launch the buy itself it wouldn't make a difference as to how soon anyone will receive their UltraGauge. But it may allow another 10 people to join the group buy potentially.

My thoughts anyhow...
