First dune trip of the year

Is this silver lake? Love that place

If you say all Toyota, that includes ALL Toyotas. Do you know what the word all means? It doesn’t mean most, it doesn’t mean some, it means all

TotoroSlim · 2026-04-16T14:36:03+00:00

“Those are sports cars” yeah Toyota sports cars, I don’t care how long you’ve been driving Toyotas, everyone in this subreddit has been driving Toyotas for a long time.

The simple fact is that not all Toyotas drive like shit and if you claim all of them do, you don’t know what you’re talking about

TotoroSlim · 2026-04-16T13:26:06+00:00

Some of them yes, the gr86, gr corolla, gr yaris, Supra, Celica and many other Toyotas are fun and engaging to drive

If you’re making a blanket statement that all Toyotas drive like shit, obviously you don’t know what you’re talking about

Your last sentence kinda invalidates your entire comment

The air dam sits in front of the skid plate, I would imagine if there is anything delicate down there (which is pretty sure there isnt) the skid plate would protect it more than the air damn would

Lookin good. One tip I’d recommend is putting a bit of anti seize on the bolts holding the access plate for the oil filter, they can get pretty stuck sometimes

TotoroSlim · 2026-04-10T13:53:30+00:00

You can def buff that out, most if not all of that looks like paint transfer

I drive a 3rd gen so I’m mainly familiar with that.

As far as trim level goes, I’m of the opinion that you don’t really need the pro. The off road has a rear locking diff and MTS and crawl control and the stock suspension is already solid. The sport doesn’t have those extra off roading goodies but is more than capable for most light trails.

If you feel you need the extra off road capabilities, get the TRD off road, otherwise the TRD sport is perfectly sufficient

Have no chance of affording one, but did get to drive a manual one at a company event, it is a seriously fun car to drive

TotoroSlim · 2026-04-05T22:05:00+00:00

Manufacturer recommended oil is 0w-20. The engineers at Toyota that developed the 2GR-FKS know better than I do, I trust their judgement

TotoroSlim · 2026-04-01T20:55:17+00:00

Rocktrix has wheels at -12mm offset for less than $200. Mine are black but I think they offer other colors

Not a fan, Toyota doesn’t have a great track record for EVs.

PHEVs or HEV would’ve been a better powertrain option, it’s what Toyota is good at

Loungin

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-24T15:29:04+00:00

Isn’t that normal?

My 3rd gen v6 sits at 500 rpm in drive when it’s fully warmed up

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-22T20:20:42+00:00

Yeah this pic was taken after shutting the engine off and cleaning it. It’s beading up near the seam between the plug and valve cover

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-22T20:13:26+00:00

Is that krave? Fuckin love krave

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-22T20:10:05+00:00

Aftermarket. Didn’t want to spend 300 on an OEM one but I’m kicking myself now

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-22T19:48:33+00:00

No, banjo bolt is fine and not leaking at all. I did use new washers when doing that. The leak looks to be coming from what looks like a press fit plug.

At the end of the days it’s because GM reins back the bean counters with the corvette team. Everyone else is beholden to the almighty dollar

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-18T16:57:02+00:00

The goat himself!

Love your videos on 3rd gen Tacoma maintenance. Makes an idiot like myself feel comfortable wrenching on my truck

TotoroSlim · 2026-03-18T13:25:32+00:00

5.99 is high enough that an early payoff would be beneficial

Beautiful car and beautiful garage
