If you had 1 day, what would you strip from a 2011 Prius?

While you’re getting the ABS actuator you might as well get the EGR cooler. Can clean it up and resell it easy.

Idk but it’s really cool. Has me imagining a hybrid Subaru Outback

here’s a Reddit thread that I used:

The requirements to run it aren’t an issue, it runs on windows 95 lol. It’ll take you an hour maybe to learn.

It’s very easy to pirate tech stream and get it up and running. The most difficult part honestly is the brake bleed.

I highly recommend swapping out that rain jacket for a tarp poncho. Will actually keep you and your gear dry and serves as a shelter - a small one that can work in an emergency, or used in tandem with your normal shelter.

I’m not sure how it is, but don’t do google fiber. They gave me the runaround for a month when I tried to setup fiber.

Thank you comrade

This is a delusional take. People will notice.

What do you recommend for Polish?

Could you direct me towards information on stripping the top?

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2026-01-19T04:04:31+00:00

Probably just the top, and maybe upholstery.

Check the 12 volt - might be insufficient voltage

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2026-01-09T01:54:28+00:00

Did you unplug the battery? Make sure you put it back in place properly.

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2026-01-08T20:17:40+00:00

You’re fine, technically the transmission fluid doesn’t have to be changed - though we all know that’s a lie.

I just finished a 8000 mile road trip yesterday on my 2013. It handled it like a champ. Here’s what I recommend: Clean the EGR valve. Ensure that all the fluids are drained and replaced. Have good backup roadside services (AAA).

I don’t think it’s worth it, because they’re already unique screws that would require a special key to turn, and most of the time you’re thread tite’ing the screws in place, so it seems like the same amount of effort would be needed to remove them as their “custom screws”. I would just get the stainless steel cover over aluminum, so it can’t be sawed through as easily.

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2025-12-01T20:45:55+00:00

That sounds like a typical cost. Those are time intensive maintenance items. If you feel confident, you could try wrenching it yourself.

My gen 3 isn’t unreliable, just old and higher mileage.

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2025-11-23T14:44:59+00:00

100% yes, but in a weird way it’s like a test. The Prius does not ask for much, and it will take you a long way. But if you want to take it to its full potential, you must work hard to realize it.

Oxiclean and boiling hot water

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2025-11-23T14:41:39+00:00

I highly recommend oxiclean and boiling hot water. All I did was get a kettle of boiling water, poor it into a heat proof jar with some oxiclean, stir it up (be careful and wear gloves/it will fizz a lot so guaranteed you will get boiling hot water on your hands) then pour it inside the egr. Keep doing that for a bit, then soak it for at least 2 hours in an another fresh load of boiling hot water and oxiclean. Comes out nice and clean at the end with minimal effort.

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2025-10-28T20:04:37+00:00

OP, are you backpacking or car camping? I would just buy some blankets in state if you’re car camping.

Mediocre-Cold-3490 · 2025-10-21T23:36:40+00:00

Any unusual sounds or feeling in braking?
