MARYLAND TACOMAS

Ordered a 24” chain wrench that should still fit in breaker pole if needed. Just gotta hope the strut mount and bushing holds

 

@hyrule_trd just an FYI if you're a DIY guy. The Camry will be stupid simple to change. I'm 99.765% they kept the setup the same considering the base engine is the same as our '23

 

Good to know and I am.

Though, the dealer offers free oil changes for life and I’m gonna get my moneys worth lol. Potential max of 36k miles per year. 3 synthetic oil changes at no cost. I’ll rotate the tires and add fuel additive, filters myself.

 

This one was bought used and despite being a year old it had over the miles by maybe a thousand for free ones Literally would take 15 minutes if I wanted to push it doing it myself.

The Tacoma still has one free one left, but that's 10K away and I'm not doing that. I'll be doing the 15K change myself. I'm lucky as the 4th gen takes the same oil filter as the Camry so it's easy to inventory.

 

So close!

 

Here’s a good shot!

 

Daaaaanng 36K miles a year?? That makes me sound like a homebody! Lol

 

Which 1? Have some credit...

 

Im running the Eibach kit and absolutely love it!!

Paired with Camburg UCA’s and ItonMan leaf pack is perfect.

…but ICON makes some great stuff as well. Either way, you’ll be very happy!!

 

Depending on how much credit, still might be worth it to look elsewhere for other kits. While I have Ironman and they sell them in that site, I’d like a softer ride than the Foam Cell Pros offer out of the box.

Those kits are apples and oranges though. I could be wrong but I think they are 2.0” and 2.5” diameter kits. If so, the Icon is a higher tier. Search them here though, they used to be prone to leaking.

 

Yea, to right next to Philly airport M-F most weeks or 700 miles a week. Really, should only be closer to 34000 miles a year… much better

 

Finally had motivation and time to waterless wash my truck. She sorely needed it-

 

I’ve been meaning to ask the last few times you mentioned it…What’s a waterless wash?

 

A specialized soap that gets the crud off without having to rinse off after. Mix the stuff in a garden sprayer type thing, spray, wipe, then buff and you’re done!

Now that’s fancy!

I’ve been being lazy and I’ve done the automatic drive through car wash the last bunch of times because of the cold. I normally do the traditional bucket/hand wash thing during the nicer months. I might have to give that stuff you linked a try!

 

Took maybe 15 min to do the entire truck. It doesn’t look as great as a handwash but much easier.

with the snorkel and roof rack, I probably won’t take it back through an automatic car wash.

 

where did you find Wix filters at? They seem to be non-existent around where I live.

 

I was being facetious.

The auto collision warning isn’t bad. It’s only beeped at me when there was a legit hazard. Better than all the random rentals I’ve had that go crazy and scream at you for everything.

One of the first things I did on my 700 mile trip home after truck purchase.

 

Not saying to do it, but they should honor the free oil change early. I used mine at 5 and 10k miles at two different dealers.

 

Rock Auto. I bought several to keep in stock in my stash.
