What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not sure you can do that on the 4 cyl? Is this true?

 

Sheesh. I don't go purchasing items I believe to be suspect.

I'm sure my motor is just fine.

I don't skimp on things.

Dually noted on the advice.

 

NJ?

 

I’d cut it shorter and use a Deutsch connector and then hide the wire going along the windshield with one of these:

Changed the oil in the Taco for the first time today. The dealer must have used an impact to put on the oil filter. It was a struggle getting it loose. It was almost to the point that if it was an old style filter, I would have beat a screwdriver through it and hit the screwdriver with a hammer.

 

Looks like the factory block heater. Was yours recalled at all?

Toyota had a run of apparently faulty OEM block heaters causing fires. Mine was installed by the dealership in 2020. Was deemed safe and only requires annual inspection.

Is your set on a timer or do you just let it do it's thing all night?

 

Paint delete! Not a popular mod I know, but dang, I like trucks with chrome!

 

Your Truck, your rules and tastes!!

Just remember the old trucker's adage:

Chrome don't get ya home!!

I'm not sure if you are joking or not... lol

If you can change the oil filter during the oil change, you can change it anytime... You will have to top the oil back off when done...

 

My guess he’s not sure if all the oil would run out of the I4 when the filter was removed. Correct me if I’m wrong.

 

Hey, it takes your eyes off of all that godawful white...

 

Well, now you gotta chrome wrap the tailgate handle, too. Looks so out-of-place.

Chrome side steps, too.

Mirror caps?

TW - we’re here to help!

 

Yes. My assumption would be that I would have to do this quickly in order not to loose a lot of oil

Generally when I change the oil in any of my vehicles I drain the pan then remove the filter.

I have never removed a filter prior to draining, so I'm assuming this would just wind up being a mess and would require me to work quickly.

In any case I'm just gonna wait. Everything will be fine. When it's time for my next oil change I'll put a dealership purchased filter in and see if that alleviates the recent issues I've been experiencing.

 

The bonus of white: at some point the paint sheets off and reveals the greenish-gray primer underneath. You just gotta be patient.

 

My next mod, since you guys like my chrome so much…

 

Squint

 

Bedazzle ...
