Hey everyone. Curious if anyone here ever cleans out their drain holes under the windshield wiper cowl. If so, does anyone have a step by step to remove everything and unclog? My 4R lives outside and I constantly have to pick leaves and other debris from my trees out of the wiper cowl area...

I can never get to these quick enough. But, I guess my parameters are so tight in terms of year, mileage, and price that they become unicorns. They usually sell within the same day.

Post-refresh with a couple of the pre-refresh colors would be amazing.

Good to know I'm not the only one. With my aluminum housing, I've resorted to removing the entire housing, disassembling, and then removing the plastic drain from the inside both times I changed the oil.

Piggybacking off of this thread. Does anyone have difficulty removing the plastic drain extension from the aluminum housing? It's been tremendously difficult to insert and remove for me.

This is good to know. I'm on Cooper ST Maxx pizza cutters right now, and I was thinking of making the switch to RGs after the Coopers have run their course. May think twice about that now.

Greased the driveshafts and changed the oil. Ever since I've changed the oil canister to the metal one, I've always had difficulty inserting and removing the plastic drain that's included with the new filters. Had to remove the canister by channel locks, disassemble, and then remove the plastic...

Went out with a few friends.

The contrast between the vehicle color and brushed copper looks fantastic.

I don't have a diff drop, but the sway bar spacers included in the lift kit will make the front bolts that come with the TRD skid plate too short to catch. You'll need 60mm bolts up front to make it work.

The stock wheels on those are so good. I'm amazed so many people go to the Pro wheels.

Radflo 2.5. I think it's common across the board, I just wasn't expecting that much. I believe they use Eibach springs.

Adjusted my coilovers after about 25k miles. Surprised at how much the driver side settled. There are about a quarter inch more of threads showing on the driver side than the passenger side to even things out.

I also think that the gas mileage decrease, however slight, over the 10k mile interval would negate the savings on oil by far. Also, sign up for Pennzoil and Mobil 1 notifications. They regularly offer $10 and $12 off five quart jugs. You can also go to their websites and see what they offer now.
