      @@jonathanmariani5627 to be honest, I am not a fan of putting anything on the existing fuses. I live in Michigan and in the winter, I fear that if anything extra is tied into the fuses, it’s potentially putting additional load on the battery during starting. If your battery is old or not fully charged for whatever reason, it could be the difference between the vehicle turning over or not…. I have an Auxbeam for this exact reason-every thing extra stays off when I start my vehicle, and I turn them on via the Auxbeam once the vehicle is started. Same goes for the headlight DRLs. That’s just my thinking and preference.

    Like the channel but don't agree with this filter, I know your prob getting paid for this promo. But with that said, Toyota built the 4runner to last as long as it does as is. The paper filters are like 6 bucks at the dealer. Why go spend double to just to get spin on filters. Just to avoid the extra step. Then remove and modify more parts. Send like a big waste for little possibly negative benefit....

    • @ProjectAbate
      @ProjectAbate 7 днів тому

      @locoxti88 hey thanks- I appreciate it! So, I’m actually not getting paid by anybody, nor have I ever. I personally like the ease of oil changes coupled with the fact that I can run a larger filter. The added benefit is that with this set up, oil isn’t allowed to back flow out of the engine when the car is off, unlike the OEM paper filters. It’s an extra “safety measure” in place that you don’t have with the OEM version. That being said, yes- like you stated-Toyotas are bulletproof, that’s exactly why I bought one. I don’t mind spending a couple bucks more for a larger spin on filter, especially since the difference in cost is minimal with my military discount. To each their own I guess!

  • @Immanent_Resolve
    @Immanent_Resolve 8 днів тому

    Your explanation of installing the oil filter adapter for a spin-on filter was incredibly thorough and perfectly detailed, making the process so much easier to understand. Pairing it with the steps to reset the maintenance reminder was the cherry on top! This setup truly feels like an upgrade over the OEM design. The widespread use of spin-on filters not only adds convenience but also significantly speeds up oil changes. When combined with a Fumoto drain spout, the entire process becomes remarkably efficient and less messy-an absolute game-changer for anyone maintaining their vehicle.

    Definitely an interesting product. If anything I do plan on swapping out the one plastic housing for the metal housing. I do think these are somewhat of a hard sell with so many of these engines running with crazy miles using the stock setup. I believe this adapter is more convenient though, no doubt about that. Once my free oil changes are done and over with, I’ll probably start doing them myself. Still shocked at Toyotas newer 10 k mile oil change interval…. Especially when the change light comes on at 5k miles. Every 5 k miles for me of course. Those Fumoto valves are really convenient as well…. Many folk in the Raptor crew use those.

      Unfortunately no. It’s either superchargers or no superchargers. Thank you! I do not have spacers. I did for one day, but they caused too much rubbing. If you check my Instagram (@5Gen4R) you can see the new suspension I put on it and 34” tires!

    Where do you all connect the red wire from the back-up camera. I went back and forth on the video and I did not see when he connected or where he connected it!?

    • @ProjectAbate
      @ProjectAbate 15 днів тому

      @john-yh9wf you connect it to your tail lights reverse light wire by a wire tap. You’ll have to see what color wires you have and then google which wire activates the reverse lights. Or I can tell you which one I tapped into when I get home this evening. Reason I didn’t install it, is when I had the G900, I did and I was not happy with the reverse lines. Based on where the rear camera sits, and how the reverse lines display, it was not very accurate and the lines pointed up higher than where the car was. Hope this helps

    Joe, Fantastic video! Just what I needed for my rear camera install. I do have a question. I've run the power cable exactly the way you specified with no issue. When it comes to attaching the fuse tap, I've identified the B+ and ACC. I found 2 fuse sockets that were not being used, no fuses installed but give the proper power. My question for you is, did you not put the plastic Fusebox cover on or modify by cutting holes? Additionally, while the fuse taps are snug, I feel they could come out. What's your opinion on this?

Also are you able to preview Backup camera without putting the car in reverse? Also what happens if you say in carplay - google or apple maps and you want to change your radio station from one to another using your steering wheel keys will it kick you out of carplay.

There is an attachment for your existing USB that allows you to supply power to it, etc. I do not believe there’s a way to preview the reverse camera without putting it in reverse. If you are using CarPlay, and are listening to the radio, you can switch the stations with your steering wheel controls. I do it all the time on my 4Runner. CarPlay will still function and allow you to use maps and other apps while the radio is on in the background and you are changing stations from the controls on your steering wheel.

    Will look at suspension lifts sometime down the road. My Dad's old 96' F-150 needs a new transmission, so that's putting a damper on other projects at the moment. Will probably end up doing a mild 2" lift, but don't want the ride to stiffen up too much as I love the plush ride of the stock suspension. Man your 4Runner looks good with those wheels/tires/lift. Those Minwin end caps are pretty sweet... much better than just leaving the stock ones off.

    Just a PSA, there is an air bag in the A-pillar of all vehicles. Do not tuck wires across the A-pillar like in this video. You can obstruct the air bag during deployment.

That being said, the wire is not in front of the airbags as there are gaps on either sides of the pillar plastic- where I tucked them. It’s not like the wires are draped directly over and across the airbag causing an obstruction. Do as you so choose, but this is not going to cause issues.
