Even the economy EVs have a high price all things considered. And buying used is a major concern and I don't think the data is in yet on what a realistic "lifespan" is for an EV. ICE's are pretty much proven that 200k miles at this point, maybe even more. But what is the equivalent for an EV. Is buying an EV with 100k miles equivalent to an ICE with 200k? How much life expectancy is there mile wise? It certainly an interesting thought experiment to me.

 

I just put new shocks in hood. What a pain in the ass to have bad shocks and no hood prop.

 

One if the first things I did along with Heater Ts. I probably should order some for the LC. It needs heater Ts too.

 

Haven't got to heater t yet. Idk what that even does.
My stupid ass truck didn't have cab filters either! wtf! had to take evap cover off and cut a door into it and make a cover. I thought that was the most whack shit Ive ever seen on a high end vehicle.

 

Don't forget the rear hatch; that gets opened more often than the hood (or should in theory at least)

Did that too. lol. Its the rear "hitch" I don't have but I guess its better to know your truck wasn't a tow pig. At 250+ I think the hood may get more action.

 

take em from the other?

 

Tina will be missed. Ike, not so much.

 

Chowcares. There is a gasket that runs across the bottom of the door that leaks when it gest old and brittle.

Yep. That's the plan. The LX has all new hoses and metal Ts. I'm going to run a single hose across the heater ports so the engine can be run after I move the hoses. I was pricing out the Ts and hoses and it was going to run will over $200.

 

Results may vary. I went for metal Ts.

Cool. Thanks. My brain is in music mode but I will watch in a bit. Im assuming I have to take all the shit apart that I just took apart. lol

Oh in engine bay. Ok cool.

Mine didn't have a gasket. I was wondering about that. As soon as I loosened screws water came out. fml

 

Probably. I've replaced 2 gaskets. Once you get in the swing of working under the dash it ain't so bad. Just get a good #2 JIS driver and some 10mm sockets.

This Vessel #2 driver will change your whole Toyota experience.

They really still didn’t have a cabin air filter on the 100 series?

 

LX has them. I don't know why the LC didn't.

 

100 series Land Cruiser doesn't, but the LX470 does?

What a trip.

Makes a little sense though considering Lexus is supposed to be a step up anyway.

 

It's weird to think that something as simple as a cabin air filter is a step up based on model, anyone I mention to that the Tacoma didn't come with one looks at me like I'm nuts.

jokes on them, I've been slowly breathing in so much asbestos from the freeways that I'm immune to its ill effects

 

Yep.

The new Ineos Granadier has regular turn type knobs and switches that you can control without taking your eyes off the road.
