I used to fix airplanes for the Navy (35 years ago) and I have done car maintenance in the past, but it's been ages since I did either. Watching your videos gave me the confidence to change the oil on my new 4Runner the other day. It was a magnificent feeling of accomplishment! It was my truck's second oil change. I had the first one done at a reputable shop. Turns out that they lost one of my skid plate bolts because it was not on the truck when i got under there. With all of the tools I'm buying to do this work, I'm not sure that I'm saving money (especially in the short term), but the peace of mind knowing that I did everything right is invaluable.

@@Z-Man1973 Gee, I didn't realise! I thought Toyota didn't sell diesel cars in the USA because people prefer petrol (gas as you say). It's an interesting comparison, with the cheap petrol/gas prices in the USA a V8 Petrol GX460 (basically a 150 Prado) sounds like a terrifically powerful vehicle. Petrol Engines are also less expensive to maintain than diesel. But the low end torque of a diesel is nice - but more power would be very nice!

**In any accident, remember that everyone prioritizes their own interests.** Don't expect rational discussions, as the other party will likely downplay their role. Instead of wasting time arguing, focus on gathering evidence: * **Take pictures** of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. * **Use a dash cam** to record the incident. * **Get the other driver's license and insurance information.** **Stay alert and assume the other party will try to avoid responsibility.** This protects you and helps ensure a fair outcome.

Absolutely on car accident. Always take photos too at scene! Never fail to call police. Always get it fixed. Remember it still impacts future value and affects cost of fixing a damaged car. I wish I had been called as I know your a very nice person but frankly, I’d file claim and get it done Sir.

[@LionRunner]

@41:30 Yes, very important. Call police -> take pictures of both cars all around -> Get police report -> file claim with insurance -> use your trusted repair place. I tell this because I had the same experience hit from behind at a red light. When I file the claim the party at fault story changed to "there was another car hit from behind". Lucky the police report does not say anything about 3rd vehicle nor the pictures show damages to the back of party at fault. I repaired from my insurance and my insurance took the money from the other party's insurance. I got a very nice rental car to enjoy for a month and my Rav4 was repaired like it was new. Even though it was a minor hit insurance replaced the rear hatch, bumper, badges and what not. I was very happy with the job and paint matched perfectly to my eyes.

[@LionRunner]

Also please please have dashcams. Its very DIY and you can hide wires perfectly. Atleast on 4Runner its very easy to have parking mode also.

Lots bull dust out back roads. normal filters get the box dirty on the clean side. I put a little rubber grease on the seals of air cleaner filter. It really works. The 200 series is very prone to getting engine dusted in Australia. We use after market filter boxes here and the dusting problem goes away.

I park way out in the lots so things don't happen on all my vehicles. Walking is good exercise unless you are unable to then get dropped off closer. Lately the road less traveled to your destination has benefits in getting into accidents if possible.

I, too, practice a strict isolationist policy when parking.

[@johnrose3169]

I do that too. I usually drop my wife/family off at the front door and go park. My family always teases me about my parking lot OCD.

Please make more videos of this GX 460. I got a 2023 GX 460 Luxury package for a year now. I do all my maintenance. I change the motor oil at 845 miles, 3,900 and recently 5,300 miles. At 850 miles there were metal shavings in the oil filter since the engine was brand new and barely broken-in. Lexus 2 free maintenance service doesn’t change the oil until 10k miles. I don’t want to risk it as I want to keep this GX as long as I live. Maybe passing it down to my kids or grandkids.

Good man! Everybody wants to sue for any minor thing! Man has integrity! A word that is unknown nowadays!

AMD and Jason are two honest and conscientious guys that are role models for others in the industry - I’ve had Jason’s company work on my cars and trust them, and as an owner of a old, pristine, Toyota with sentimental value - AMD is on my mind for simply doing an inspection. BTW - the PDR guy is Dennis- he does great work.

Got a 23 so love seeing these for sure !!

Great video with good information. Sorry about your accident. My wife loves her GX as well. Great vehicle.

Always put a towel under the wiper arm. JUST in case of an accidental drop. Even 6" can crack the glass.

Now imagine customers wanting this all done in 5 min

My Sequoia caliper pins are similar design. New England winters binded them up. After my brake job my gas mileage went back to 16.3 mpg from a low of 15.2.

It's so refreshing to see someone as in depth with toyota and lexus, as I am. I've been working in a toyota and lexus environment since I was 8 years old. I was A1-A8 ase certified at the age of 15. I don't have a platform like you do, but im ok with that. I do hold classes to teach people about their vehicles and.my classes are always full and have apps through the next year and a half and appreciate you showing the world brother. For example, I rebuilt 3, 2ar-fe engines yesterday. I don't know of anyone that can pump out productivity as I do. Seems like we would get along. Your friendly neighborhood toyota/lexus 30 year master technician.

I had no idea it was that easy to change the internal cabin air filter... Thanks for the information! (Changed in both cars in sub-20 mins... :) )

Mrs. TCCN now is very happy 😁

[@ericdelrosario6779]

Thanks for sharing. Love your videos on the GX460 and other Toyota technical stuffs. You’re one of the reasons why I’m up to my toes taking good care of my 2021 Lexus GX460. 🇨🇦 😊

[@tidebounce9149]

No problem TCCN cannot solve😊

I started doing my own oil changes every 5K miles on my 2022 4Runner Limited, thanks to this channel.

NOTE: At 42:16 you start talking about calling the police in an accident. I’m from California, the police usually refuse to come out to an accident. I was involved in a hit and run, I was rear ended at a stop sign. So I pulled over and the other person fled the scene. I called it in and they said they’d send someone to at least take a report so I have something to file with my insurance company, well standing at the side of the road for an hour, I called them back and they told me to come into their office the following morning, they no longer respond to traffic accidents unless someone is injured. I was shocked that they didn’t even bother to call me to tell me they weren’t coming. So don’t rely on police to show up, make sure you know what you are supposed to do in the event of an accident if the police refuse to show you have have all the necessary information if you need to protect interests. My Mom was sideswiped on the freeway a couple years ago and the driver was drunk and spun out into a field and the police never showed up either. A lady, at like 2am gets hit by a drunk driver on the freeway and no police show. It’s bad. I’m not saying don’t try to call the police BUT make sure you have a plan and method to document things should they choose not to show up.

Too bad you can't depend on the PD to do THEIR JOB!!

Just casually having a Toyota Century in the background and an Altezza, man I love this guy! :D
