    Toyota / Lexus extended warranty

    I paid 50% of what the dealer wanted who sold the car. I am not sure how his prices are set, so if you are interested it is worth getting a quote.

    Toyota / Lexus extended warranty

    Just want to let everyone know that I got an awesome deal on an extended warranty from Jerry Johnson at Midwest Toyota. I purchased a 10 year/100,000 mile, 0 deductible Toyota Platinum warranty for my daughters 2021 Camry. If you are in the market he is worth the call. Below is his information...

    50K trans maintenance

    I changed mine and will not change the screen again. It should not need changing as there is no filter material, just metal screen. I did however clean the inside of the pan and magnets real good. It is a simple pan drop with a set of ramps. I only do drain and fill, never a flush. I do think a...

    Engine Noise

    I have a 2015 limited. It has been a noisy engine since new compared to my other vehicles. I run premium fuel and routinely run injector cleaner. It helps, but the T4R is just a noisy engine. I can live with it because it is my wife's and she loves it, plus it has not given me a hint of trouble...

    Took mine in and only took just over an hour. Cannot tell anyone was in the truck. I did make sure the tech had a warm breakfast sandwich in the passenger seat though :)

    Eastwood internal frame coating - thoughts?

    Great tip and also correct on the newer the better. I have also used heavy gauge wire taped to the hose to guide it in the center of the frame using my free hand. The hose can come off the can easily, so the wire helps with that also.

    Weld through primer and rear panhard relocation bracket

    I use weld through primer when I cannot gain access to bare metal after the weld is completed. If you can access everything after then there is no need.

    Eastwood internal frame coating - thoughts?

    I restore cars as a hobby, used to do it for money. This stuff works, especially where access is limited. Make sure to coat thoroughly. I would follow up after cure with fluid film, but fluid film is temporary. If you can gain access, look into rust encapsolator and other eastwood products. I...

    Trading in the 4Runner..

    Congrats, the ZR2 looks awesome. Maybe chime in after a while on how you like it. Mine had the vibration when I changed wheels/tires but a road force balance cured it. I agree with you, no way I could continue to drive it with the vibration.

    Transmission fluid change, Good or bad idea for 2010 Sr5 I want to take to 250K miles

    Dropping the pan is a good idea at least once after break in. I did mine at 20k and there was enough material on the magnets to make me feel it was worth the effort. I cleaned everything real good, installed a new screen and gasket, and put it all back together. Yes there are magnets in the...

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    I ordered the part that you linked and it was a metal housing. The one you show is not correct. Hopefully an exchange will get you the right one. Look also at the directions on here about changing the metal tube from your old housing.
