Wheeler Pass in a Ford Raptor - Pahrump to Cold Creek, Nevada
Pahrump to Cold Creek, Nevada via Wheeler Pass.
Total travel time was just over 3 hours.
This trip took place in November 2023 just a couple months after a large rainstorm that washed out most gravel roads in the area. In fact one section of Wheeler Pass near Cold Creek is washed out and you must take a short detour. The ascent was in good condition but the decent was rough.
Special thanks to channel "Weekends & Waypoints" for sharing details about the detour. Check out their video here ua-cam.com/video/A-d_8fMd8WI/v-deo.htmlsi=UHeO4VAENJJzShCh

The IS300 is a great choice on the used car market if you are looking for a fun, good looking and reliable 4 door sedan. The hard to find manual and optional limited slip differential is recommended

Man I should have went left, the right path took me up the mountain to a dead end
Easy to miss it!
Cool video, thanks. How would this ride be on a couple of adventure bikes ?
Absolutely possible. I'm sure you would make quick time as your line is narrow and can easily avoid the occasional large rocks.
Scotty's lawyer: There's nothing we can do, we barely have any evidence. Scotty: 💀
LOL!
An absolutely fantastic car. Home run by Toyota. A bit of a secret nowadays. Manual is a must. W/a slight drop, an intake/exhaust system, LSD swap from an IS300 e-shift, & lightweight flywheel/street clutch upgrade the car becomes a true 4-door sportscar while remaining comfortable to drive. Mine has 300K+ trouble-free miles & still puts a big grin on my face whenever I drive it.
You just described my car precisely! I have a few more mods and miles since I made this video. 285k miles and I still love it.
Nicely done!! FYI, oem IS300 Sportcross rear wheels with 245/45/17 tires perform quite well and fill out the wheel well perfectly. Great holeshots too. Even tho you're happy with the shifter, if you can find a used PLP (Pro Lexus Performance) short shifter, buy it. It's the ideal shifter - lower height with slightly shorter throws. I did have to have my leather shifter boot cut a bit shorter & restitched to make it all look factory. BTW, typically not a fan of white cars, but boy do IS300s look good in white!
Sell me that Joe-Z intake!
Not for sale. Still loving it. 😁
James Elterman - Hahaha! Can’t blame you honestly. They’re not very common, and they’re not produced anymore which adds to their scarcity. How many miles are you up to now?
@@drivedb7 278,000 miles
James Elterman - Holy smokes! Sounds like it’s time for an update video. Maybe if you get lucky, these cars are like old Volkswagens. You know, where the odometer resets to zero after hitting 300k? 😂 In all seriousness, I’d be curious to see how the car looks and has held up all these years later. Did you ever fix the sticky dash?
I have a 04 is300 completely stock except for a new exhaust. Fantastic car. It does not drive like it’s 15 years old or have 170k miles. It’s very tight.
I still feel the beat
I wish I did! I miss my GC8 dearly.
1:20 system crash, rebooting, please wait....
1:15 ???
A video technique. You usually edit a cut there but he forgot too
I just bought an 02 just to play with with a manual. I love it.
Needs a turbo to wake it up!
Great video, just bought mine 2 days ago. Mine has 170xxx miles 2 owners and it feels like new, am in love with this car.
I've had a hard time believing that the manual is THAT hard to find. I've owned 2 of them and both had LSD. Maybe I was just lucky to find them? Idk.
Gohanburner its hard to find in my place 😭😭😭
My navi doesnt open but i can hear the motor working when i press open and tilt button could it be the gearing inside the navi?
Great video James. Very informative and well presented. Thanks :)
Can you please post a picture of the more frisky clutch dampener. I tried to find this and it seems that they are unavailable? Is there bleeding of the hydraulic fluid that has to happen? Or just take the OEM off and put the aftermarket dampener on? Also can you please post a pic of the air intake upgrade that you put on as well? Thanks.
Hey man i have a clean all black 01 IS300 and its amazing. I absolutely love it and I'm a mustang guy buy I am into turners and I truly admire Toyota and their reliability! Now its my daily and my baby. I might actually start putting more attention into this haha but man i just wanted to ask where dod you get the stuff for your dashboard and howd the gas mileage for yours? Does or drinks like a av8?
Nice video! I'm at 258,000 on my 2002 M/T! Engine still runs great! I did recently replace the clutch though, made it 255K before it started to slip.
not a w58. it's a w55
The BMW e46 is much easier to do an oil change than the is300 :)
Do you know if the GS series from the same period are the same in ride or are they smoother? I got a Audi A4 03 and I think it's more softer on the ride, but want some more HP like the IS has so.
SacreDro The GS has a softer ride. The IS is more sporty.
What's your MPG in the city?
SacreDro 21mpg typical. I drive a good mix of city highway and rural.
Nice, thanks for your input. They are cheap now from what I've seen and have good specs for the price, not th mention the reliability. Any problems with the brakes or something specific?
SacreDro No. The only problems I've experienced are typical considering age and miles. Typical Toyota reliability!
I have one. One of my friends found one with 100k for 4,000 and it runs very well.
Nice car I love it. Nice video
Finally another is300 with a v1 nice video man
Thanks! I've since remounted it under my mirror with a wire tuck. Even drilled a hole through the mirror hanger to keep the wire almost completely hidden.
I love my 04 IS300. Only 49,400 miles on it. :)
Angel R. Automatic?
I want one badly, make a sleeper with a turbo. Nice car, man.
James how the ac under hot temperatures I heard the compressor usually broke down during summer ? is this true
The AC on mine has been great. Even on 90+ degree days mine blows so cold I have to turn it down after a while.
+James Elterman thanks
did your IS 300 have heating problems??? I have the same exact car a Lexus IS 300 year 2004 and it over heats on me my fans don't turn on automatically when the tempt.. is rising they turn on when I turn my AC on then the tempt starts going down would help if you please help me out
This is not a common issue with the cars that I am aware of. I would check for blown fuses or loose or damaged wires first. Since this is not a common failure I suspect something simple.
+James Elterman I checked the fuses they work the wires on the fans when I was checking them no light came on with the tester thank you for your video
I love my is 300 awesome car!! Awesome review thanks!
is everyone going to ignore the brain laps that just happened
Sorry I forgot to edit that out before uploading.
On my list for my next main car, Best review on YT. Good work, I love your white IS with the manual.
Nice review..... Q: where is the location (CITY) at 2:40-2:20 ....? Looks very beautiful and peaceful thanks
+cm07ca a church parking lot in Valley Park, MO.
Doesnt age. Lexus luxury. Easy to work on. Lexus reliability. 4 doors. Good power and good handling. Well built. HUGE aftermarket support
Very timeless design, it has aged very well and I don't think most people would realize it is a 10 year old car
good review, thanks man
hi....im from Australia and I loved your review of your IS 300....I want one of these and I will find one soon.....I loved your enthusiasm abt your car....im an old guy but I love driving as you do.....never lose your desire for something you love...I admireyour zest for your motoring love....good luck mate....one thought tho is this.....""wife happy,life happy""....lol
going out of state to pick up my first Lexus an is300 5 speed with 174k miles but very clean and this review sold me on the car thanks dude.
and getting it for 4500
Probably the best review on is300. U convinced me to buy ANOTHER is300 over is350. I was look at 08 and 06 is350 but the interior space seems smaller than my old is300. 100hp more seems nicer but the cost to maintenance is a lot. Same with cluttered engine space on is250/350. Not to mention after market parts availability. Mine might be same as your but black.
plus the 2nd gen IS250 have carbon build up issues. The 2jzge engine might be toyota's best engine ever.
what year is this is300?
2002
+nick carbo same engine that year. As they say "YMMV.. Your mileage may vary.
+Absent IN No. 2001 was automatic only. 2002 to 2005 is auto or manual.
How can you tell if it has a lsd on it or not?
+Alonzo Aguilar Originally Posted by LXS4Ross on my.is forums. Open the the drivers door and look at the factory door jamb sticker.

To clarify, my answer only applies to 01 auto
Thats one clean looking engine for a car thats more than 10 years old. I want this as my first car cuz i like the way it looks and because i want a car i can tinker and get familiar with. And its a japanese car so parts are common, cheap, and reliable. And plus most japanese cars are bullet proof.
i was curious on how you purchased the vehicle without seeing it, ive been looking at getting one and ive been talking to someone in texas as well. im just not sure how to go about purchasing without having cash in hand and signing the title over right there and then, how did paperwork and payment work? please get back to me if possible thank you and excellent review
+Jade Frult The safest way is to use an escrow service. With an escrow service a third party will collect your money and the seller's title and only exchanges them after both parties are satisfied. Typically escrow service costs only a couple hundred dollars so split between the buyer and seller it is easy live with.
Why do you recommend the 5 speed?
+Matthew S. Casillas Benefits of Manual Transmission 1. Engaging driving experience 2. Faster launches with wheel spin 3. Faster overall acceleration 4. Hold gears while drifting 5. Hold gears while driving in snow 6. Hold gears for decent control 7. Hold gears while doing ricer fly-bys 8. Clutch kick drift initiation 9. Better fuel economy 10. Theft deterrent (Many people can't drive manual) Benefits of Automatic Transmission 1. Eat a hamburger while you drive 2. Talk on the phone while you drive 3. Easy hill starts 4. Your friends, parents and neighbor can borrow your car
+James Elterman Agreed!
hands down the best IS300 review ever!!!
Wow! Thank you very much!
+James Elterman I have been looking for it for a while, all the car review channels that I follow for example subaruwrxfan, motortrend, regularcarreviews and thatguyinblue haven't reviewed it yet. The other channels that have "reviewed" the car have no idea what a real review is like. so after watching your review when I say its the best I really mean it. Honestly based on your detailed oriented review, you have all the qualities to start up your own car review channel.
+Sohaib Younus, that is very kind. I'm sure I couldn't review any car as well as the car I drive everyday. But I'd love to try! Cheers. Thanks again.
excellent!!
03 is3000 at 8,500 stock manual good deal for 125k mileage ?
Slightly high price but if it is clean and well maintained I would buy it.
+James Elterman i saw a 02 IS300 72k miles, clean, for $12k. I think that's crazy high but when looking at truecar.com, it seems that the current market value for that car is around that ball park. What are your thoughts. And GREAT VIDEO!
might i add, 5 speed manual!
I have a 2005 Lexus is300 and my sister has a 2004 BMW 325i. Her BMW reminds me of my Lexus so much, including they were pretty much in the same time period, the look of the cars kinda and the way they drive. Both great cars that are both luxury sedans and i would say are kinda equal to each other, but of course the Lexus IS300 with the same engine as a Toyota supra it would kill the BMW in a race :D (we both have our cars white)
It was interesting to see 141 on You Tube in this video. I go that way a lot of times when I'm leaving Manchester going home. So many people on here live and film elsewhere. It was good to see an area closer to home. I used to have a 2008 Lexus IS250 AWD. I loved the car, and it was always trouble free. I sadly had to give it up for something more practical. My next purchase will be another Lexus or a Mercedes..Your Lexus looks like its still in great shape!
Great review! Thinking strongly about an IS300 for my next car.
