I’d do it again, for sure! Check out our update video: 4Runner XREAS Delete Update! Bilsteins vs Stock Long-Term ruclips.net/user/shorts1J1TdIEWpdA?feature=share

Thanks for watching, and especially for the kind comment!

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m on the overly cautious, I like to fill it up!

@@fixityfix The other thing, on my Rogue, the filter is mounted horizontally 😕

Thanks for watching! Thanks for the info on the halogen longevity makes me glad to have gone the LED route. How do the Lastfits do illuminating at a distance from the driver's perspective?

@ very good. The high beams project a long way without dark spots or voids. Side to side coverage is excellent.

Thanks for watching! I used the same 6.6 quarts with filter change I always do, and it was in the right place on the dipstick.

Here is a link to the set I’d buy these days: amzn.to/3VIuv08 Thanks for watching!

@@fixityfix Thank you! what oil filter wrench would you suggest? that one is not available any longer.

Capri makes quality stuff: amzn.to/4fiSGcB

@@fixityfix wow thank you!

I’m glad you found our channel! I had the same dilemma a few years back, which is a large part of why we started up our modest little channel. The 2.9 is such a cool, torquey, versatile engine. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and for the kind, encouraging comment!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, the aftermarket skid plates are big $! The RCI skid I got a long time ago has been one of my favorite mods, especially in making maintenance quicker and easier. The Baxter instructions indicate the stock skid plate can be modified, but I have never tried it. Check out the 3:40 mark in this video.

LOL! Thanks for watching. And I’m totally gonna try that next time.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you’ll keep me posted on your progress! One suggestion if you haven’t found a 944 yet. Mine is an ‘84, which means it harder to upgrade suspension. 85.5+ years are more desirable since it’s easier to pop in coilovers to accommodate higher battery weights.

​@fixityfix I don't know much about EV but I know 944 😊 with a Early car and want to do a coilover swap you can use 1986-88 924s aluminum trailing arms or would be easier to get the whole rear assembly (rear arms, brakes, metal brake line, hubs, pivot arm and the longer axles). I have coilovers on my 924s and will be converting my 1983 944 with the same setup someday.

Now THAT is and excellent idea!

Thanks for watching! I don’t use the Tesla toolbox. I am probably going to use the T2C for this one: www.ev-controls.com/product/ev-controls-t2c/

Your comment makes my day! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!

Thank you for watching and commenting! I didn’t end up capping off the hydraulic lines because I like the new Bilsteins so much, I ended up taking the hydraulic lines out altogether.

I did! I was tempted, but decided I didn’t want to add any more complexity (hoses/passages) to the oiling system. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@fixityfix having the oil filter up top is something I really miss about my Subaru. I hate taking off the skid plate to change the filter on the 4Runner.

Thanks for watching! Yes! I love the quick change valves! I have the Stahlbus valve on this 4Runner! amzn.to/3xrsKLE

Thanks for watching! Not this one in specific, but usually it comes down to replacing belts and replacing capacitors.

Yes! Spoiler alert…loving it so far.

@ I had to sell my 4Runner but whoever ends up buying it is going to appreciate all the mods I made.

​If you add baxter modification to oil filter does it void toyota warranty?​@@fixityfix

Thanks for watching! I used these, with the factory Limited springs. They are also compatible with SR5. Front: Bilstein 24- 329064: amzn.to/3wtOlD3 Rear: Bilstein 33-329093: amzn.to/3XILYa6

@ Is there a reason you reused the flanges for the rear shocks? I thought you can use the flanges and bushings that come with the new Bilsteins.

It was long enough ago, I don’t recall. I’ll be curious to know what you decide on yours!

@ Yes, definitely need to replace about 120k miles 2 of the 4 are leaking. I always go for conventional. The limited had the 4wd which is why I wanted it. I am sure it will be good.

@@GreatSax1, sounds like it’s time for sure! We’ve been happy with the Bilsteins. Here is an update video we did in case you haven’t seen it yet: 4Runner XREAS Delete Update! Bilsteins vs Stock Long-Term ruclips.net/user/shorts1J1TdIEWpdA?feature=share

Thanks for watching and commenting! Here is a link to what I used: amzn.to/4evGBjX This was a good question - I will post a new short on it, well...Shortly ;-)

@ appreciate it, I’d love a full breakdown so I know where the map sensor goes as well

@@fixityfixhey, I saw the video you uploaded and was actually interested in the black hose that connects to the top of the engine block to the air intake box!

Ah! Believe it or not, that intake hose is original! I just cleaned it up really well and treated it with Meguiar's Extreme Marine: amzn.to/3YALuCi

Good idea! One of these days I will do a full breakdown of the engine management stuff. In this rig, it has a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor, running off vacuum. That sneaky part is actually in the firewall right behind the passenger valve cover - it has an electrical and a vacuum connector coming out of it. They go bad pretty frequently! Changing mine out made a big difference as mine had been damaged by water intrusion/condensation.

Thanks for watching and commenting! My understanding is that leaving the short tube in will cause the filter to be bypassed altogether, leaving the engine with unfiltered oil.

Thanks very much for watching! My shop is pretty backlogged from Hurricane Helene damage. The quickest way to get into an AGM mod is to order a diode/fuse block from these folks: voltageboosterpro.com/product/og/

Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, the PCV fix did improve the idle issue I was having a lot. My next project, when I get time to work on the Ranger is going to be replacing the capacitors in the ECU.

@@fixityfix cant wait!

Thanks for watching, and thank you for the kind comment!

Thanks for watching, and for the kind comment!

@@fixityfix, absolutely! Never too old to learn from someone with knowledge!

I used a total of 13 quarts for the whole process, if memory serves. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

@@fixityfix thank you

It's common for these to run rich - mine does too, even after servicing Fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, Timing, Vacuum Lines/Leaks, Air Filter and Housing, Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Air Control Valve, MAP Sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure), Fuel Pressure Regulator, Coolant Temperature Sensor, Injectors, Intake Air Temperature sensor and Oxygen Sensor. All these things helped a lot, but it is still running rich. I suspect bad capacitors in the Computer. Soon I am going to re-cap the computer, and will do a video when I do (for better or worse). Thanks very much for watching and for your comment!

My pleasure! I had the same struggle and did lots of research trying to sort it out. That’s when I realized I should make a video on it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

My pleasure. Thank you for the kind comment and for watching!

Thanks for watching! Manual says every 10k, but I do every 5k for oil and filter every 10k.

Thanks for watching and for the info! I will definitely check out the Baxter, once I use the rest of my case of filter elements :-)

Thanks for watching and commenting! @bryancooke2445, mentioned this mod below, pricey, but looks like a cool idea: www.baxterperformanceusa.com/shop-by-make/toyota-ts-501-bk-cartridge-to-spin-on-adapter-universal.html

Right on!

Love the easy under hood 4th gen filter location. Didn’t know they moved it on 5th gen. Kinda a bummer.

Not in my world it hasn't. 12 Toyotas over the past 45 years and never a major, or for that matter, a minor issue. But you keep buying whatever you want as everyone has choice in what they purchase.
