Edmonton and Area Toyotas

With what? We might as well bring whole Ontario gang in here, it's too damn quiet!

 

I'll channel my inner @Joe23 and ride shotgun with you...

 

I don't think they're ready for us

 

I'm actually heading out to Calgary on the 27th leave on the 29th. Not coming to Edmonton...

Should I start a YYC mall crawl thread?

 

Heh, I noticed that we don't even have YYC thread in here, west is truly dead

I should sell my taco and join 12" lifted rolling coals or Heep Brahs that can't park

 

I just traded in my Tacoma for a tundra (needed extra space for the new baby). If your ok with a tundra in the crew I would be down to meet. Still plan on wheeling this summer.

 

Could be Prius on 35s, as long as it is Yota

 

I would love to see a Prius on 35’s lol

 

It's muddin' time

 

here is one Prius that could

Put a dorkel on that tundra and Evgeny luv you long time lol

 

Changing Oil in rear diff is pretty easy. Even easier if you drop the spare tire. Can fill it directly from gear oil bottles no prob. Front diff and transfer case tougher to fill and its best to have those pumps you can put right on top of the gear oil bottle since fill hole is tough to get to. I do think 67,000 km could be a little early. I just did my rear diff at around 130,000 for first time and it looked pretty clean and not much metal shavings on the magnet plug. Have not even done front diff or transfer case yet. Probably due eventually.

 

Wait til you see the colour of the front diff fluid coming out lol

 

@TheRenegade

I did my rear diff twice in 140000k, front diff I did just recently for the first time (unless the dealership did it waaaay back when I was still going there), the fluid was really dark. And transfer case I've done once.

I would do them all every 40000km at the most myself, just my approach. $300 is a good dealership price for all 3.

 

Guys, Texas has sent a spy to see what's going on in the North.

 

My summary from another thread

Did my 100K shit today, all vedy vedy good. No surprises, front diff oil black...xfer case, tranny, and rear diff pretty clear still actually. Front pads were about 50% still...rotors looked good on outside but as usual the insides had more wear, glad I did the rotors but still would have lasted the life of the pads. Brake/clutch fluid had a little yellow tinge that you wouldn't notice til you fill it with the clear new. Power steering fluid was same, not quite as clear as fresh obviously but still pretty clear...

Spark plugs actually looked pretty good and consistent gap across all 6 at about .6.5 - .70 mm with electrodes looking stout top and bottom. Clearly they also could have gone gone further, but hey why not swap. Factory was Denso as well, although diff number than Toyota recommended replacement.

Put on the 5100 Rear billies...omg, huuuggee improvement over the spring frost heaves and railroad tracks from the stiff hitachis.

And clutch accumulator delete but not many here care so I'll discuss that elsewhere

Good day, about 5 hrs work time, 6 hrs elapsed time

 

You ever check out Mr. Panos?

 

Has anyone dealt with Toyota Northwest here? I had them to replace my steering rack under warranty, but found this "zip tie certified" surprise under along with disconnected front differential electrical plug. Overall they were quick in doing the work, maybe too quick lol.

 

Hey, at least they dinnit zip tie your driveshaft for the lovely playing card in the spokes moment.

You going back Russian style?
