I worked as a C/O (Corrections Officer) and always found it odd that heavily tattooed guys (and gals) in jail were shocked they got caught?? You have very distinct tattoos on your face / hands / arms etc... With everything being videoed it's almost like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes...

Bought a new 4Runner TRD Off Road and wasn't a fan of the wheels or tires it came with. Purchased the accessory wheels from my dealer and wrapped them in Nitto Terra Grappler G3's 275/65/18. On previous T4r's I've ran Ridge Grapplers, Toyo AT III's and Falken Wildpeak AT4w's. Thought I'd give...

Wow, can't argue with what's working.

I did work at Boeing for 18yrs, but ironically nothing I worked with was safety wired. I just thought it was cool is all.

First oil change on my 26 4Runner. Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20, Premium Guard Extended Life filter, magnetic drain plug (Gold Plug). And just for kicks I safety wired the drain since it was drilled.

I guess nobody would probably counterfeit non-oem parts but all I've driven in the last 7 years was a Toyota.

I know in the Toyota world there's a lot of counterfeit products on Amazon. If I was to buy a couple of Premium Guard PG4612EX filters from the Premium Guard Amazon store any worries? Or is there a better place to buy them? Thanks all!

I usually run a Fumoto valve on everything but I didn't like the adapter configuration. Saw a lot of recommendations for magnetic plugs and good filters on the new Honda. I like not having to worry about it coming loose, plus I usually only do 1 or 2 oil changes a year so it's not really an...

Safety wired my Votex magnetic drain plug on my new 26' Honda Passport. I figured why not? Just drilled a 1/8" hole in the skid plate and called it a day.

Well I only made it until 863 miles and had to change it. Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20 / MicroGard Select filter and a Votex magnetic drain plug. I'll do it again at 5K and every 5K from there on out.

I ordered the Votex as well, I guess I'll send the Stalhlbus back.

Follow up question, magnetic drain plug vs. drain valve like Stahlbus or similar?

I usually do one at 1k and then 5k. Then every 5k after that. I always know when I'm due and I usually only do about 7500 miles a year (ish). And I just found the Honda filter thread, my apologies if the mod's want to lock this thread I'm good.

I got the Trailsport Elite in sunset orange with black interior.

Ok go easy on me, it's been a decade since I've been in a Honda. I brought home a new Passport black Friday, has the J35Y8 and I grabbed a couple oil filters from the dealer while I was there. Now surfing the forums I'm getting the impression that the blue Honda filters aren't what they used...
