    Is "Overlanding" a thing in your area yet?

    Overlanding with an AWD Prius? 🤔 Definitely can leave it running all night for a nice climate controlled sleep inside of it...

    Photo thread for tacky car mods

    1997 Honda Life, kei car for $3k with 79k miles. Would you drive it?

    Becoming a hotshot driver?

    He's East Coast mostly.

    Becoming a hotshot driver?

    It heavily depends on the broker and company. Previous company he worked for paid barely enough to break even. Paid less per mile and had less miles to give. And my relative does have to sleep in the pickup truck too, just doesn't have all the comfy nice amenities that "real drivers" have in...

    Becoming a hotshot driver?

    My relative is a hotshot driver, non-CDL. And he only does transport hot shot. 2-3 cars at a time, as long as total weight of truck, trailer, and vehicles on the trailer come under 26k lbs. Lots of overhead expenses, but here is an example of last week, which is not good or bad, but just...

    IS300 Acceleration Issue

    This is the solution. I had to do it on four 2JZ powered vehicles.

    The Prius is one heck of a name plate

    Is that experience with the newest Prius, or the previous generations? Because the 2022+ is a completely different animal compared to all of its predecessors.

    I'm new to BITOG

    We do have some gang activities on this forum, and sometimes a full on war on oil grade threads. On behalf of The Thickies I raise a quart of Mobil1 15W-50 as a warm "Welcome"!

    Innova 7111 and Prius brake bleeding.

    The 12V battery is pretty new and fully charged. The ScanTool is powered by its own battery, so it's not stealing the car's 12V. On the menu I select ABS, the only option is Air Bleed, and then message windows tell me to keep engine OFF, ignition ON and start procedure. Then Error and back to...

    Good auto error code reader for DIY

    This is the best option for codes, clearing, and even some live data. As a "level up" from there I purchased the $49.98 dongle from WalMart, HyperTough HT500. It did great for what it was, and went beyond the basic functions of previous option. It's great for a DIYer, sees and clears some other...

    Innova 7111 and Prius brake bleeding.

    Recently got this used tool on Marketplace for $250, and coming from eBay/Amazon dongles - it's quite nice and capable enough for a DIYer. But I did run into an issue and wondering if anyone else here has same tool, or more experience with these scantools in general, to maybe help me out...

    What are you doing right now?

    336k, but this is the second time this Prius C is getting such treatment. Allegedly the first time happened around 200k. Otherwise it's on a 3rd hybrid battery, original engine and CVT.

    What are you doing right now?

    Toyota code of death: C1391. Estimated repair at the dealer often is higher that the car is worth, so this failure sent many Toyota Hybrids to junkyards. Replacing the master cylinder and ABS accumulator on a 2012 Prius C. My parents just had exactly same failure and replacement on a 2012...

    Removing Engine Sludge - 1995 Toyota T100

    You'd be surprised. Most T100 in my area have half-a-million miles, every body panel is dented, yet people still asking $5000-$7000. And the worst part is - other people are buying at such asking price, likely due to nostalgia of having or wanting a T100 back in the day... As result prices stay...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Been a looong while since I've seen a good looking Touareg. Come to think of it - it's also been quite a long time since I've seen a Touareg on the road in general. The kid in me still wants the 10 cylinder diesel Touareg... To pull an airplane like those commercials lol.

    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    I didn't realize you were the spokesperson for everyone. Good thing I'm not looking for a fan club!
