I went with the AGT version for a few months because I use a 40 oz hydroflask. It was nice for that but smaller bottles were too loose and I didn’t like it. I ended up going back to the factory cup holder and buying a 40 oz bottle that fit in a standard cup holder.
Thanks for the video. I used to have a 2003 tacoma 4 banger and it was so quick and easy to change the plugs. Now I have a 2017 Tacoma V6 and what a pain it is compared to the older truck. Plus my truck is raised a bit so I have to get on a step ladder to do it. I hate the way it is so much harder to do simple maintenance on vehicles these days. My mechanic quoted $460 total after tax which is way less than the other quotes in the comments. Not sure if I will try it myself or just pay the mechanic.
@@infosponge I did it this afternoon in less than 2 hours. I have one of those ratchets that can flex in different positions and it made it way easier. My truck is sputtering when accelerating after changing the plugs. I was hoping changing the plugs would fix the issue but it didn't. It was sputtering every now and then prior to changing the plugs and now it is sputtering worse. The check engine light isn't coming on and it isn't a rough idle.
Just spoke with a dealer/service department and they warned me about a notice KTM put out concerning lithium batteries in the 890 models. I loved my Antigravity battery, but I'm wondering if the reason I had to claim a warranty on it is due to the charging system of the 890. According to that service department it's only compatible with lead acid batteries and the lithium voltages are different. It doesn't charge the same and can cause various issues. I'm currently experiencing a misfire and CEL, but I feel like it's not the battery. My bike performed excellent for over 2 years with the AG battery in it except for the replacement after the 1st year.
'Sup W! F here. I put the (older pre-magnet style) SW-Motech ring on my 2015 BMW S1000RR first, and actually have 2 bags, a large one with the clear map pocket on it for extended trips, and the micro for when I'm sporting around (maybe wearing my leathers) and just need room for my wallet, Walkman, keys, and a juicebox etc. When I got the 2021 ADV R, because KTM is retarded and just HAD to do things different, the ring (with magnets) had to go on backwards as noted. What I did differently from you, is that though the ring mounting is fixed (backwards), the mounting bracket under the bag itself (I got the larger Daypack and the optional extra little pouch on top) can be rotated 180 deg so the bag can be mounted so the flap opening is TOWARDS you. Which IMO makes it that much more convenient to easily getting into the bag. The release for the ring latch can actually be routed thru the small opening on the OTHER end of the pack (at least there was one on my Daypack). So, the handle ends up being in front (like on my 'RR) but the release is towards you and the opening is towards you (like on my 'RR). You might be able to undo the mounting bracket and flip it 180deg if this sounds like you'd want to do this.
Pro tip from average dip stick... Never pull out the fill plug before the drain plug. Oil comes out like a a faucet at full throttle. Break the fill plug loose to allow a smaller amount of venting, WAY easier to catch that oil in a pan and not all over the floor.
i see you added it to description but yea the transfer case takes a straight 75w "low viscosity" oil unlike the diffs. most likely no issues with what was used but yea not the specified fluid
Maybe a silly question, but do the spark plugs need to be installed to a certain spec? I don’t see many having issues I just don’t wanna break one inside and then need to rely on someone else
Buying by the quart cost a lot more. I bought Lucas gear oil by the gallon for 52 dollars each. I bought 2 gallons and saved money. Even with the pump, it came out less spent. If you can find your brand in gallons, go that route.
Didja remove the skid plate when you first installed it? Kinda annoying that it has flats for a wrench, outside of using a crows foot wrench there's no way to put it on to a specific torque spec. I'm tempted to get one, with the skid removing the plug oil always splashes on the skid and it comes out so forcefully that without a fiber mat the oil bounces off the catch pan and goes everywhere. I figure with an easier setup I'd change oil every 5k miles and oil and filter every 10k. Some do complain that maybe the dirtiest oil doesn't come out because the fumoto plug threads stick up above inside the pan creating a dam like effect. You get all the oil out, the question is are sediments building up at the bottom of the pan if they're not entrained in the oil 🤔
Appreciate the video man! A few things I found while doing this. I’m pretty mechanically inclined so this took about 45 minutes. You don’t need to remove the rear bracket to get the middle and rear plugs out. Also I just folded the rubber foam piece cover the rear plug up and back out of the way. No real reason to remove them unless you just need the extra space 🤷♂️
Hello, there is a controversy about which spark plug to use. I was looking into the following options: Denso (3491) FK20HBR8 Denso Iridium TT - 4705 Which one of the two do you recommend using and why?
The factory plug is the 3491 and it works perfectly fine so why change it. That said the smaller electrode size on the 4705 may add slight longevity and performance increases. I would just buy whichever one is cheaper at the time.
Installed on my friend’s truck, here is his response: It makes noise when nothing's on it but when I put things in it it doesn't make noise also they have rubber strips you can put inside the grooves to help with noise
Excellent video. Took me about 2.5 hours, the majority of that spent on the driver’s side. Those brackets and the front spark plug were frustrating, but you saved me a ton of money. 🤙
Thanks for the tutorial! Toyota wanted 800 to change my plugs. I got them for around $50, I also started on the hardest side first. So the passenger side was a breeze. Thanks again!
Definitely agree with stiffness. But the type you have varies from vehicle. Mines a 2020 gmc 1500 and my sumo springs is just bolt ons. Super easy to install or remove when needed, the way you wanted it. My preference is to leave it on when going off road, made a big difference when I went 40mph on bumpy dirt and gravel roads.
