Still a bit weird.
How the battery got low to begin with ?
If the battery isn't keep power it should be replaced. A recharge only will make the problem happen again later.
Feels like some charge system isn't working properly...
Yesterday I did a steep climb (1300 ft in 0.6 mile) and noticed the trans temperature going up quite a lot.
Didn't get any messages or actually touched the red part but it got close.
Done the same trail (forest road) a few times on my 4Runner TRD Pro without problems, however there's no...
Yikes.
Even if I didn't have the skid plate, the way the valve is installed, would need to be in reverse to something maybe get hooked and pull it out.
I just did my oil change and was quite dark.
1400 miles in.
No funny smells or shinny stuff.
I would absolutely change it at least every 5k based what I just see.
$39 oil (full synth on Costco)
$9 filter (that i could get for $5 if I bought the 10 case)
Not a terrible deal.
How much the turbo is getting used during your normal driving?
I noticed huge MPG swings with absolutely minimal change on the gas pedal.
I try hard to keep the turbo down to zero as possible.
Maybe because I checked it on the driveway that have a bit of slope
But for me was a good extra 1/8-1/4.
No Idea how I gonna get that 0.9 right.
Probably just get a 5 qt and 3/4 in, start the car and guide by the dipstick
I mean, if you already take the car in for "maintenance" every 5k, why not change the oil as well?
I get it if you are trying to save money, but in a ~$70k car is silly.
Less than 5k maybe is a bit of "over care"...
I'm doing a oil change this weekend (~1300 miles) and for sure at 5k, maybe one...
The oil filter wrench/socket thing is the last part I'm waiting to arrive before I do the oil change.
I noticed the oil level from factory was a bit high than the max on the stick
anyone else noticed it ?
I imagine so, but I wouldn't do it.
That's why I wished it was a one panel (and the center speaker) and done deal.
Maybe a smaller amp in the future...
Thanks for tips about the installation
Pretty straightforward overall but that black metal bracket took a second for figure out.
Now this weekend I should remove it to change the oil 😅
Finally removed the air dams and added the front skid plate (Waiting for the trans skid plate)
265 SL Falkens and the bronze center caps I’m pretty much done with the small changes on this vehicle
Isn’t much but feels like should be like that from factory.
You guys are crazy
if there's something I don't trust is water crossing.
Unless is really low and/or a same model vehicle just crossed in front of me. Even then I might chicken out...
I had some screen protector on my 22 4Runner and looked ok, however after a week of high temperatures and a lot of sun it bubbled out a lot so I just removed and called good.
I don't have any plans to add it to the LC, but I'm watching this thread, just in case...
