Completing the shredded Rav4 rebuild and moving on...to the... Mustang?

I finally get the 2015 Toyota Rav4 all finished up. The interior needs to be put back in, we have some mechanical work to do and it needs a good cleaning. The "where's the Mustang" people should be happy because I had a little free time to spend relocating it with the hopes of getting back to it soon. Since the build is done, I wonder what the console has for us.

[@XndeX]

This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and what I have for you today is someone who hasn't seen my videos ;) Scott, all you need is a small piece of a Redbull can and you make a small shim. With that you place it in between the space on the decoder wheels. Once you have that apply a small amount of pressure and feel for the flat spot when changing numbers. You should be able to decode this lock in about 5 minutes.

[@vehcor]

I know that, but that is absolutely no fun.

[@trbstang]

Olds Starfire? Nice! My grandfather had one like it, but a hardtop. Fun car to ride around in!

[@vehcor]

The 61 convertibles were very rare. They are cool to ride around in for sure.

I thought maybe when you pulled the cabin air filter out you'd have come back with, "Hmmmmm ... nobody's been here before ..."

[@vehcor]

I was there before. Surprisingly I didn’t get a single, “why didn’t you change the cabin filter” comment. Those people must have been too worried about the dirty carpet under the seats I installed.

[@edwardspaccarelli5944]

The last 2 cabin filters I changed had mouse nests. The trick is getting the filter out without dropping the nest in blower fan. Fun, fun, fun.

[@JohnSmith-eq5el]

Are you sure the air flow direction is correct on the new filter?

[@garys9694]

The Oldsmobile is a beautiful car. Brings back memories of before the Navy and a girl friend from that time We loved her dad's Olds convertible, looked just like that one. It was one damn nice car.

Love the python powered bumper installation tool. It’s actually a multi tool. Even the torque wrench never fails to make me smile. I love all the extras you do that few other shops would even consider. Oil, brakes or struts. You stopped the presses though with the air box replacement last week. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, I’d buy any Vehcor repaired vehicle sight unseen. I wouldn’t think twice about it. Oh great tip on opening the hood wider!

I actually sold the silver Yukon to a viewer that only saw it when he picked it up to drive home over 1000 miles away. He has been very happy with it. Thanks for the support!

[@tinytim9453]

Haha, you had to say something about the Fram filters. My brother and I have been using em, "orange can of death" for 30 years with no problems. Some of our vehicles has almost 300,000 miles.

[@vehcor]

I don’t have a problem with them but man does the internet hate them. 😂. I suspect most of those “experts” can’t even open the hood of their car...if they even own one.

That's a house key lock for realtors. I used to do home inspections and would frequently have to go inside empty/vacant properties. the bank gives you the 4 digit code or 3 letter combo. i could give you a big list of possible combos....haha great vid. my favorite part was the brake job....haha At least those bolts on the bracket came loose. mine still havent come all the way out on my 2015 hemi challenger shaker. i didnt have any power tools. and i'm in illinois so its a double whammy. keep up the good work.

That option for the hood prop rod is called the Engine-Out feature. Subaru has been doing it for years.

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

We acquired a 2020 Lexus RX350 L in mid-February and in mid-September I came upon stopped traffic on the Interstate, made an emergency stop, and was rear-ended by 2 cars, one a heavy SUV. Except for the left corner which took the hardest impact, and the left front quarter panel and grill, caused by the steel cables on our interstates which keep cars from crossing the median, and saved our butts. There was no glass breakage, no cabin damage or dangling air bags, because the airbag/belt tensioner was defective and nothing deployed and the engine still ran. Even the power lift gate worked. The insurance company totalled it because of the cost of labor and parts for the obvious damage, plus hidden suspension damage and bent body parts underneath. The car had roughly 7,000 miles on it. It was sold at auction in October by Copart,(Lot # 50209890, location ...LL020, if you know how to look up final auction prices) but I didn't follow it closely enough to learn what it sold for. List price was over $55,000. I thought this would have been the perfect car for you to restore. With your skills, you could have done it in 2 days, once you had the parts, and made a very nice profit. And we would have all learned some more info about repairing modern cars.

Scott, another great build, awesome humor, especially the jiffy lube grind and weld revenge. My 1960 International rescue squad truck uses a canister oil filter, in a pinch you could use a regular roll of toilet paper if no filter was available. I’m in the process of gathering parts to rebuild it, I’m going to use a UM606 Mercedes diesel for power, do away with the 4 wheel drum brakes and go to disc, add power steering and power brakes. I’m planning on it taking about a year from start to finish. It’s a departure from what you do, but I’m going to follow your work style and ethics, make it better than it was when it left the factory. Let me know if you want a couple of 300 pound tires to keep the afternoon crew entertained, they can practice lifting down. Dan.
