Hahaha, thanks man!! 🤘

Thx dude! 🤘

🤘🤘

Fantastic tips! I have switched to the Mobile 1 filters, which seem to be pretty nice. Also started filling to dipstick indicator. But I like your 4-quart idea!

Sounds rad. I might just try that!

Fair enough. I switched to Mobile 1 filters some time ago and I believe they have the same check valve in them.

Nope. Just USB and the 120V.

Haha, thanks dude!

Very happy to help!

I got that from etrailer.com and it’s their house brand. Ground to bottom of receiver is 8.75” with van fully unloaded. Loaded, that thing will DEFINITELY hit stuff. That said I’m about to order up a 2” lift for this van which should make a big difference.

Thanks for your quick reply. BTW, great video.

Right on!! 🤘

They do, but the OEM ones cost as much or more than wipers I get at Costco (when on sale). I grabbed a rear one at the dealer for $16! I wanted to keep the OEM look since it’s not hidden like the windshield ones.

I kinda like trying out different brands of wipers, so I typically swap the whole blade assembly out. Plus the originals were pretty faded. But they lasted 3 and half years, so there’s definitely something to be said for the OEM blades. Costco is a great idea for wiper blades. I didn’t even remember to check Costco first!

Good question…..I can’t say we’ve ever used it for videos. We only do music, podcasts, maps, phone, and iMessage. No lag issues with any of those.

If you have decent tires, it absolutely does!

This was applied to a fiberglass roof.

Great question. I was just on a ride last week and had a few poorly timed shifts where I hit a climb and wasn’t properly geared. I will say that it was pretty clunky in that scenario. Granted I wasn’t helping by trying to grab like 4 gears under heavy load, but it definitely didn’t sound great. Outside of that, it’s pretty solid so far with decent shifting and no issues to speak of.

You don’t need to bleed in most cases, unless you are getting fade when you brake. Or maybe you are due to push some new fluid into the system. I’ve done several brake pad replacement jobs without needing to bleed. I’ve never had to use loctite, but that’s definitely not a bad idea!

Depends where you live, but I think 1-2 per year.

No worries! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Happy to help!

Unfortunately, no. I’ve not had to do that yet on mine. Just had to do the igniters multiple times.

Probably a good call to help keep them in place!

Those were some kind of cheap ones off Amazon that my wife got. I finally convinced her to get rid of them!

🤷🏻‍♂️ wish I could help you with that one dude!

Yeah that’s fair. Don’t think I ever showed that. Once you get that filter cleaned and all that crap cleared out, just turn the machine off and back on. SUD error will be gone. I’ve done this multiple times now over the years.

Dude, that park assist thing is super annoying. You do have to remember to disable it every time. So if you are on a road trip, you gotta remember to do it every time you re-start the car. After it screams at you a couple of times and you can’t back up, you quickly remember to do it. But I’d REALLY like if they just had a push button enable/disable somewhere on the dash. It’s a good safety feature that can keep you from accidentally hitting a kid or something, so I get the intent. But still not user friendly at all.

@@DadDoingStuff I wonder if that can be rewired or tricked so a button can be made.

Good question!

Yeah the bike rack has that knob, but the riser hitch still needs the U-Bolt. It unfortunately is pretty loose where it interfaces with the receiver on the van. Not a perfect system but it works.

@@DadDoingStuff ohhh, I didn't think about that.

Thanks Peter! I was honestly surprised myself at how well the cardboard worked!

We carry chains (some generic pair) but have never had to put them on even once. Good tires and the AWD has always been more than enough. We are currently running the BFG Advantage TA tires from Costco and we are really happy with them.

@@DadDoingStuff that's great to hear. I can't remember what I saw on the 2024 model I test drove, but they looked decent. So you live in an area with lots of snow?

We are in Reno, NV. Fair bit of snow, but we go to Tahoe a lot to ski and definitely deal with plenty of snow up there.

Yeah the fact that this isn’t just a standard feature on every trim level is beyond me. Zero reason they can’t have that as a standard. Run-Flat tires SUCK! And carrying a full size spare sucks. Not sure if you’ve seen those “collapsible” spares, but those look like a good alternative to a full size spare. They collapse down to a much smaller size, just need to have a compressor handy to inflate them when needed.

Interestingly, we really never use the overhead screen. We didn’t really want it to begin with, but this model just happened to have it. Kids tend to just use an iPhone/iPad 99% of the time during long road trips. If our kids were younger, we’d probably use it more frequently.

@@DadDoingStuff my kids (5) are 9 and under and only 1 shared iPad, but certainly different for us then

Haha, yeah I was surprised with the results.

It stays in the garage 99% of the time, but our garage isn’t insulated. So it gets well below freezing in that garage during the winter.

its not a tesla.

Thank you! Glad to help!

Bonus content! 😉

Same filter in 2021-current model year. Glad to help you save some $$! 😃

I don’t think Toyota changes anything until 10k. Clearly won’t hurt to do that first one sooner though. This van is honestly one of the easiest oil changes I’ve ever done! Thx for watching!

Mostly seems like a bad design to me, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

2021 Limited AWD.

Yeah that’s fair….definitely don’t need to be as precise.

Very good point, it is a solid blade!

This saw does struggle with the built in dust collection. Works better with a shop vacuum attached for sure. Albeit that also makes cutting a little more difficult with a hose to manage.

Happy to help dude!

@DadDoingStuff yeah, it was easy. The STP engine air filter doesn't fit, after 3 tries. See you other video.

Assuming you are trying to control volume on the van, not via the phone? Same brand adapter? We have zero issues with Volume control on ours. Also, does volume work when using wired CarPlay?

Yeah…….had an overwhelming number of folks mention that. I’ve mended my ways and switched to good old car wash!

@@DadDoingStuff I guess we are just looking out. I used Dawn, all my younger years and switched about 20 years ago now. Nice vid. Glad to see a long term use of the white FS. Cleaned up pretty easy.

@@stumpbumpers Appreciate everyone looking out for me! Thanks for taking time to comment.

You get it! Funny how much internet hate I got for even bringing these things up! 🤣🤣

Heck yeah! Reusable is even better!

Happy to help!

Dry to the touch in a couple of hours (depending on the temperature outside). Ready for water in 24hrs.

Yeah man, we are 4 winters in so far and we’ve not even come close to needing chains. Just keep good tires on it. Running the BF Goodrich Advantage T/A tires (purchased at Costco) right now and so far I’m super happy with them.
