3rd genners paying $10k for a new head on a vehicle with less than 100k miles seems insane. Or am i insane? Or possibly both?

 

The justification is probably because "it's got less than 100k miles, course it's worth it"

I'd be pissed if I had a newish rig that needed a costly repair before hitting 100k

 

The 2GR-FKS is a turd, it has a lot of possible failure modes now, it's this generations 3VZ-E

 

Thats about where im at too. Its a lot of money real early for issues that should never happen.


Yuck.

 

So are those hatches from a boat? They look pretty easy to use.

 

Yeah they're just boat access hatches. They're nice and large and just as strong as the wood they're bolted to. Hoping I don't need access under there much, I will be locating my starting battery, house battery, air compressors, and various other electrical things in there.

 

10k is way too much money to put into that engine, I'd be pissed about having to spend a grand on it for a truck that new lol

 

I just prefer getting a vehicle with some mileage on it already.

Only ever had two brand new cars right off the lot and both of them had petty but inconvenient as fuck issues

 

For something fun and entertaining to watch, I always recommend danios

But when it comes to aquascaping?

Whether it's the 5th time or the 500th time you dip your scissors or tongs into the water, they insist it's food so they're always picking/biting off the ends

Had to trim down a ton off the left side as it was too tall and blocking too much light



Had to pull a ton of floaters too to throw away



Just need to fill up the tank and done

 

And done



Tons more headroom, and more light penetration

 

That is one healthy tank. Its crazy how much landscaping you have to do.

 

Steph and Theo love it; she's been asking when am I gonna put out a bigger tank

Soon

 

Ain't nothing wrong with that! It's cool seeing the designs pop out after scoring

 

Oof...anyone see the frame on that 1st Gen?

 

I low key want to start making aftermarket frames.

 

At least the back half

 

If the back half is that bad the front wouldnt be worth saving by adding a nice backhalf

 

Sometimes there are some with a front end that'll "pass"

At least from some of the thousands of pics we see in the many "rusted frame" threads
