Kiazen and monozukuri are the best things to enhance work and skill! I love big bend and this is why I love my Fj but also don’t want to get it messed up but who knows I just might do things to go off grid and road! If I was to build a truck for over landing, it would be a tundra or H1. I finally get to see the tundra in action!🤘🏼what is the fuel range of the truck? Love the water tank and all the gadgets and planning for the build!! Seriously the planning is key and the love story is very sweet because me and my wife met in the military and 17 years will be together! One day I have to talk with Brandon on over landing to get points on builds and both of y’all to get points on out door hiking in big bend. I miss going there so much!
I don't make the sa.e sounds, (or much at all if any) but I'm pretty sure I feel the same way when a big bolt finally let's go and surrenders rather than to shear off & defect to the enemy.😎
Part of your answer is correct. The other is completely false. Water can never from an engineering point of view saturate hydraulic fluids. As well, any as you put it "water" with some heat can NEVER turn to steam in a braking system such as found in any automotive setting. As we all know steam and water vapor are two different animals. In my 50 years of owning dozens of very high mileage vehicles, I've never once experienced brake failure from moisture. Yet, it seems reasonable to occasionally flush the fluids.
I'm a grandpa raising a grand daughter and I have several other grand daughters and I'm gonna make them watch you do this stuff so they don't have to depend on a knot headed guy to do it they can do it themselves hahaha ty
If 30ma drain is flating your battery in three days,your battery is crap. Check your alternator, and the age of the battery. If the battery lasted only 2 1/2 years, buy a different brand. I paid the difference and have a decent battery, and magically i have no problems at all.
I am not too thrilled with ultra thin oil... The manual for my 3rd Gen Tacoma 4 cylinder "prefers" 0w20. But we are allowed to jump up one level in oil thickness under some hard conditions (which I undergo). So, I'm running 0w30, happily, with no detectable reduction in gas mileage.
There's also another important reason to regularly flush your brake fluid. The water in the old brake fluid will slowly rot the brake sealing cups until they start leaking. First, that's a huge safety hazard and second, the repair will cost you at least 10 times as much as what you saved on flushing. Tip: If you're buying a used car, check if the brake fluid is still okay, (with one of those brake fluid devices). If not, chances are the brake fluid has never been flushed and there'll be leakage issues down the road for you.
If people regarded it as a Service Item, just like they would an oil filter or a cam-belt change, the 384,000 uses or over 50 years at 20 starts/day wouldn’t even be noteworthy….except to say “How fantastic!”. A standard starter motor doing 384,000 starts without work would be astonishing! And, before you say: “Yeah but you can do repairs on a standard starter blah blah blah….” Very few people bother with that in reality and instead just put a new one in. That Toyota should be 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks, Faye! I gave up too soon on getting that little filter screen out of the reservoir on my Subaru earlier this spring. After watching you, I'll have a better idea how to get it out next time. One thing I like to do when bleeding is I take a blow gun and blow out the remaining brake fluid from inside the bleeder after I tighten it and before I put the rubber cup back on. I've noticed in some cases the old brake fluid left in there will plug up the bleeder hole with rust and such.
You know you can just put a pipe on the end of your breaker bar, put the breaker bar up against the chassis and tap the starter motor to crank. Three little taps is all it usually takes with the key.
I think you're not aware of the definition of lubricant. Water is a lubricant for certain things and that doesn't feel anything like oil 😂 Teflon and graphite powder also do not feel like oil. Glass and ceramic also dont feel like oil.
