Definitely- the nGauge will allow you to change tire size, set up Bambi mode, and disable the double honk on vehicle exit with the key in your pocket.
Those are the things you can edit besides the vehicle tune. And of course, its a pretty great multi function gauge (you can display up to 6 ecu...
Just a quick California FYI- Last winter season Caltrans was requiring All Vehicles to carry chains in chain control situations.
I got turned away in a storm despite being in a 4x4 ram 1500 with 3 peaks tires. We were pissed!
You could be in an Arctic Truck with balloon 44s on it and you'd...
Took a little bit, but my UCAs came in so its high time to get the new suspension on. Quality of everything is awesome. The bushings look like thick urethane and everything looks over-engineered.
These are getting paired up with some Fuel Tech 17s with General Grabber 285/70r17.
New stance...
+1 For Maguire's Hybrid Ceramic spray-on.
I just went down to the local coin-op self wash and went crazy, put on 2 coats to make sure I had a good base layer.
Truck is GLEAMING my dudes.
For how easy it is to put on, the resulting shine + water beading properties is pretty great.
The cool...
I'm all for auto stop/start but it seems poorly implemented on the Ranger.
On other vehicles, such as BMWs and various hybrids I've driven, its totally seamless, it saves gas, and keeps everyone from breathing exhaust at red lights.
On this truck, it activates and deactivates at seemingly...
You might check out the Brenthel Baja kit UCAs paired with a King 2.5" coils setup for the AU Ranger:

Not sure where to source the King shocks but if you hit up BajaKits Australia they should be able to...
Cool! Great numbers. Looking forward to someone dyno tuning these trucks on the west coast... although Florida gets to have all the the fun with 93 gas and that dense humid air!
Interesting to see the use of octane booster here. I was always wondering if it was a 'legit' anti-knock additive...
Wait, just to confirm-
The factory-installed keypad is just mounted with a sticker I can get off with a heat gun?
The stock location looks pretty bad I'd love to move it somewhere else.
Currently the longest travel option is a 2.5" coilover setup (King, Radflo, or soon, Fox) and a longer uniball upper control arm.
I even searched the Australian market, where they've had this truck for years, and there's nothing out there for real long travel setups.
In the future, there will...
Badass - basically equivalent to the stock Raptor setup.
I wonder how much more travel the 2.5 kit provides over the 2.0?
Also curious if the street ride is basically the same between the two, or if one setup is more streetable than the other.
Looks sweet! I have some 285 Grabbers coming in next week.
Sidewall design definitely looks sharp. This tire supposedly outperforms the KO2 in every way- onroad, offroad, and comfort, if hundreds of Tire Rack customer reviews are anything to go on. We shall see.
I was going to sport the...
Gentlemen,
Looking forward to any solutions or hard info on this grind while turning issue.
I had this grinding happen once, also a high throttle left turn at almost full lock. (Not a very common driving situation.)
It pretty much sounded like ABS activation.
I checked the source code of your post- the missing images are linked from your Gmail. Did you drag them in from a Gmail window? If you use the 'Upload a File' button instead, you should be good!
Former 1st gen Tacoma owner here. Loved that thing...indestructible!
All I know is, I just did a long trip on two-lane highways..mostly 4x4s, pickups, and big rigs out there. I saw a bunch of badass-looking TRD Sport / TRD Pro Tacomas stuck behind 18 wheelers!
Its all fun and games until...
What's up Ranger strangers!
I just wrapped up my 1000mi break-in period with 400mi of lonely desert highways, followed by some pre-runner style point to point off-road desert runs at considerable speed. The truck performed admirably in bone-stock form both in 2wd and 4wd for the deeper stuff...
