    OVTune VF Tuner | OVTune - Tacoma ECU flash tune options and feedback

    My averages were on the last tank. I went from SF up highway 1 to Jenner and back. My speeds the whole trip was 35-50ish. My plan is to try the 2.0 when final release is out and 4.88s. Hope this works out.

    Newb question. In 4WD is the ABS and Air Bags disabled? Hate to come off a jump and have the bags deploy or full brake lock sliding down a hill, and have the brake pedal pulsating.

    Where To Buy OEM Style Switches for...

    Im having issues finding a light bar switch that fits the in left lower blank spot. I just installed a hood scoop and bought an aftermarket taco style switch, but it is for the center console spots, which is shorter than the left side (by inverter switch). Anyone know where to get the switch I...

    The speedo reads driveline speed or trans output speed, when a calibrator is installed and calibrated correctly it adjusts the drive line speed to compensate for the different tire sizes. The odometer will read the correct revolutions if the speedo is reading the correct speeds. In other words...

    Anyone have a LEER 100 XR?

    Thanks for posting vid. Cool. I just bought a XR shell but didn't get the windoors. What did you use to rig the pop a lock to the shell glass? I put that on my tailgate, but would be nice to be able to lock the glass at the same time.

    Reference Ask a beginner question, get a serious answer!

    I would venture to guess that the SR harness is terminated at where the LEDs would plug in. Most mfg'ers make one harness and terminate them on vehicles that dont have those options. It would be cost prohibitive to make a variety of harness' for different trim levels. At least thats what I have...

    Im with Andy on this, the key word is "adjusted". So many people lift their trucks and never readjust the lights, that's as bad as someone putting HID's in a reflector housing. I am waiting for my squadron sport amber cornering/fog lights. They will be here Tuesday.

    Dog Crates! Let's see them!

    Late to the gate here but we have 2 dogs and we have a rear seat hammock. It covers the rear seat ant the back of the front seats, they also make door panel covers if that's a concern, I just have nose art prints to clean up periodically. We even have seatbelt harness' that plug into the...

    Thoughts on HID vs LED headlights

    Definitely, will use the wide angle fog lights, not pencil beams. I will actually adjust the lights when I do a lift too.

    Thoughts on HID vs LED headlights

    Depending how the color looks with the high beams, I may look into H9 LEDs for the highs. Im going to go with BD Squadrons Amber fogs eventually.

    Thoughts on HID vs LED headlights

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I just ordered a set of Xenon XTR HID with Phillips 4300k color, they were a little brighter than the regular 5k. . They had a 10% off sale this week. I looked into Morimotos also but Xenon Depot was responsive with info and answered my questions first.

    Thoughts on HID vs LED headlights

    Id like some light feedback from you guys. I appreciate the reviews but I have a couple concerns with available lighting. Past experience I have had HID's in 2 Infinitis an 05 G35 and a 08 FX 35. Both had (albeit factory) HID's have always worked well and in 10 years never had to replace a bulb...

    Tutorial How to Disable Door Chime

    I think you can do it yourself! At the moment I forgot but been meaning to shut it off. IIRC its the same screen as setting your door locks to 1 or 2 clicks and the door lock timing. Ill look tomorrow.

    Reference Ask a beginner question, get a serious answer!

    Heres my stupid question. I have a 16 DCLB with a shell (bro lean) and sliders, which is basically going to be a DD, with only mild OR and foul weather mountain winter driving. So my issue is how to deal with the incessant hunting of the transmission. I am leaning towards 4.88's, but another...

    4.88's or 5.29's for your Tacoma?

    Well first gear would be super low, and 75 on the freeway Im sure would be screaming in the 3-4k rpm range with 5.29's. Im running 32" now and want to do the 4.88's, but one thing will lead to another, after that, then once I try to put a larger tire on, then comes a lift then???

    Hello

    I am starting to look into this it surely would be cheaper than a $2200 set of gears. I see on tacoworld theres another upload called the SSP. Its an inline harness that changes the throttle sensor inputs. Think its $180, but I dont just want to buy into any snake oil fixes. The problem with...

    Hello

    The shell is mainly for the dogs. Its more of a daily driver but I want it able to go just about wherever and whenever I want. Some vehicles just need mods and others don't, this is one that need to be personalized. Probably the only other mods for me will be to do something with the crappy...

    Hello

    I tried the bulletin, they put in a different Tsb #, think it was 0058 and they said it was the same as the 0062. In any case there wasnt much difference than before. Im taking it back one more time, next will probably be 4.88. Im only running 31s at the moment so that may be a little low...

    Hello All, Found this site from watching a You tube video with Mr Nobody and Rob D Man. I love the fact that this is a third gen site only. I have a 16 DCLB Sport going on 31k miles now. Love it except for the incessant hunting and shifting. Worst design of a powertrain I have ever seen...
