    Speaking from experience, battery life in southern Arizona averages 3 years but every now and then you get lucky and get an extra year or two. Or you get unlucky and can't even make three years. That happened years ago with Checker batteries, haven't bought one since.

    Corrosion is not an issue here, neither is rust. However the heat and sun will cook the crap out of the plastics. Everything dry rots. Bummer especially with all the plastic on the newer vehicles.

    I don't have a filter wrench that fits this size, so I had to use a large pipe wrench to break the factory filter loose.

    Dropped it off at the body shop. Got rear ended this morning on my way to the Socal Tacomas meet.

    The bumper and tailgate are done. Both bed sides are buckled from the bumper pushing in to them. Looks worse in person. Her car didn't fare as well.
