    They can't even put a door handle back on without screwing up the paint. Do you think they would be able to remove a door and replace it without fucking it up? Much less trusting them to get the alignment right on a door replacement. The less work they do the better. Just get it repainted and run away.

    Not old; wise. It is true. People don't care with the unemployment rate. If they get fired, walk across the street to Jeep....
    No one take care or pride in their work. I cut grass & landscape; I will spend the extra time to make things look "manicured" not just cut & blown!

    The unemployment rate is extremely low. Not like it was 4-5-6 years ago.

    Yes, it would!:D

    RCI seems like the best value. I'm looking at Budbuilt as they seem a little extra beefy.

    Here's my skid after meeting a rock in a small water crossing.

    Most dealers use lot lizards. Dudes that airbrush while sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. That's why 99% of used cars on the lot have zero door dings or chips

    Dipped the center caps in Graphite. When the weather is nice on the weekend the rims will go bronze.

    Yup, popped them out, cleaned them and sprayed them. I tried to keep the chrome Toyota symbol but it was too much a PITA to do it. 255/80R17

    Odd question. I have done my limited research. I know this was a fresh topic on here I just cannot find it.
    I am looking for the OEM part number for the metal filter housing on our trucks. For some reason all Ebay and Amazon searches return a housing with 2 lock points not 6.
    Thanks for the help!

    Did you stay with the H9’s or did you find they were too bright for oncoming drivers? I put some in a couple days ago but removed them for fear of blinding people. They were incredibly bright!

    Curious to know your thoughts here.

    Heres the Fumoto, I think Amazon has them around 25ish bucks. they have a clear tube for zero mess

    I used the same filter wrench that I used for the plastic filter housing.

    Sorry I meant to ask "Is this what you are looking for", apparently I forgot to backspace all the way through. I have not changed the oil with it on yet. I just changed it on the last oil change.

    Why does the Fumoto only go up to 2017 for the 4runner. I know it is the same engine & assume it is the same plug.
    OEM filters come with the filter drain plug. Fyi (you trade too much! Lol) You got the pro. Lol
    Why are there so many options for a 4runner?
    Thanks.

    Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for! I don't understand why Toyota would put a plastic housing attached directly to aluminum. It screams to be a weak point!
    Thanks!

    Me either. They are using it on the Rav4 and other models as well. Maybe it is cheaper?

    I think they just are extra slow to update the web site. 17 is the same engine. The only thing I read about the Fumoto is that it leaves a tiny bit of oil in the pan so one guy said he just removes it each time for that. Kind of defeats the purpose, lol.

    With a 6.6 qrt capacity; that maybe his OCD kicking in. How much can be left? A few ounces maybe...
    I would not remove if I had it. If I did have it & that was necessary I would return it claiming it doesn't drain!

    They are in to stay. I have yet to be flashed and the upgrade is significant. I will likely order another set for my high beams.

    How do the H9's match your LED fogs? Which brand of fogs are you running?
