This sounds noob as hell, but what the heck is a torque arm?

Where are you at in Texas?

A lot of his videos are "Never buy this vehicle, extremely unreliable" then proceeds to talk about one easy to solve issue that only effected certain trims and model years completely leaving out that information or that it could be solved by a 1000 dollar part.

Yeah an hours worth of driving plug 30 some odd mins at the shop would probably make me do it myself too.

Ive been going over these BBK options and Im a bit confused as to what actually makes them perform better. The rotor weight and diameter is close if not the same as stock. The master cylinder produces the same amount of hydraulic pressure. Is the added performance purely from a larger pad...

^^ Exactly, Ill swap my suspension out to save 1500 bucks in labor, but Ill be damned if for 30 bucks in labor I do an oil change. I bring my own oil and filter and they charge me 30 bucks and have free coffee. I've done enough oil changes to earn my spot in oil change heaven.

Regular maintenance. Best to not grasp difficult from the jaws of easy in this situation. Rarely do aftermarket modifications extend the life of the vehicle or reduce maintenance. Some of the best mods to keep it forever is some kind of anti theft device and a good insurance policy. I never...

Oh ok, through my light reading i didn’t see that, but there is no way something didn’t deploy!

For 85K …. why not!! 106K …nah I’ll keep my clean title v6. Salvage titles will haunt you, and Rs are likely going to have great resale value….but not this one. Also how did the airbags not deploy in a rollover? Too many mysteries. Would be a great truck to build assuming the frame is...

Slipping gears? At full throttle or just 2K rpm regular shifts? How much RPM flair are you having?

Yeah i mean best I can average is 14.5 to 15. A lot of Hwy or too much city, doesn’t really change. I’d love to see an eco boost lariat with 35’s and a lift get any better.

Keep that shit lubed. Or just never use it.

Once you buy a raptor, your current buddies tend to find themselves in one as well. Its happened to me!

^^At least he paid it with his own cash!!

Well considering the price difference than KOs, Ill have to give these AT3s a try. I see the max pressure is 35 psi, what sorta pressures are you guys running on these?

I was talking about city vehicles only, I should have said that in my post. Trust me, I wouldn’t trade my 36 gal tank for anything. I routinely drive cross country, but understand 10 mile daily routes. I fully understand what you‘re talking about man. Also a 30 dollar 5gal can from amazon...

For some reason “range anxiety” is what people care about, but they actually don’t. It’s charge rate, and charging station issue anxiety. If i had an electric car with a 250 mile range and a 5 min 100% charge up Id be totally fine with that. IMO the hummer EV and Lightening (new one) are some...

Id imagine a full new hood if you hit a deer or something would easily cost 2300. Wouldn't be a bad upgrade if your stock hood gets fubared. Probably saves a few lbs. Id probably have that Carbon hood painted though or at least partially. I find carbon fiber kinda jarring on anything other...

you summed me up exactly. I don't drive enough to take advantage of the reliability, thats for the 3-4th owner most likely. Life is too short to drive boring vehicles, and toyotas are just boring. Its not like they are cheap either.

5 grand ….WTF.

I had a housing failure on mine, the internals swapped right into a new case no problem.

Well thats good to know.... Would be cool if we had a system where if we pull both paddles it temporarily decouples the hubs.

Oh I definitely don't recommend the 4runner ....unless....you have to drive across Africa 100 times. I used to buy vehicles because of the "it'll go 300K miles without major problems". I realized, Ill never do that because I don't want to own a car for 25 years. Buy what you like.....

Looks cool, but I’d trade that for a 36 gal tank in a heart beat.

Both my 2nd gen and 3rd gen raptors have been more solid than my 2014 Tundra. I had more issues with that truck than I thought I would. Im no longer disillusioned by the Tundra reliability, and I had the “indestructible” 5.7. Now the boring 4Runner I had was flawless, but it’s actually built...
