    out. And thumbs down to whoever designed the headlight pods on that 4 runner. There's no real reason to complicate the focus geometry to take 2 different types of bulbs like that.

    Hi Sarah. Hi Vic! I think that bulb is a "halogen", isn't it? I found out that those bulb's should not be touched without wearing a plastic sandwich bag, or rubber gloves, etc. Your hands will leave a residue that shortens the life of the bulb. Also, Wonderhussy, I hope that while you were talking you were also watching how he's doing this so you can too! Would be a good idea to also carry a bulb stored in the glove box for the next time. Love Ya!

    • @TobyCostaRica
      @TobyCostaRica 11 месяцев назад +7

      24:35 you can see the bulb has blistered already from oily hands. If that’s what the auto parts store put back in it will go out soon.
      She might as well change both while she’s at it as halogen dims after a while

    When I bought my Jeep 3 years ago it had 160,000 or so miles, from experience the first thing I replaced after getting it home was replacing the head lights. From past experience with recovering vehicles that is one of my pet peeves, I paid 4 hundred dollars for my 96 Grand Cherokee and have about 2 grand into it now, I've put over 11,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. I had to do a Vice Gripe repair and drove it over 300 miles to get it home, real fun. Sarah I loved the video and you have some great friends, the Van was a work of art and as long as it works its a keeper. Old Kenny

      I’m driving a 2004 Honda CR-V. It has over 225,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I have put money into it and made many repairs over the years but that would be required with any car. I’d like to get something newer eventually but with inflation/ sky-high prices, my plan is to ride this baby until her wheels fall off.

    It has been my experience that parts store guys are perfectly willing to come outside and show you how to replace head light bulbs, in the process they change them for you.

Next solution is to get the passenger tossed out and have more room for another fridge and other storage. As for cooking heat, the butane stove and the 12v rice cooker are on point!!!

    Hey Wonderhussy. Next time you're near an O'Reilly's be sure to pick up a pint of Blinker Fluid. A must-have for all the off-roading ya do. You'll have to ask for it at the counter, 'Cause they don't keep it on their shelves. And be sure to make a before, during and after vid. The parts guys will be very impressed by the savvy desert chick who knows the old mechanic's Blinker Fluid trick that makes blinkers last almost forever.
