    Took it to get D I R T Y yesterday. Jk, we were at a farm that had some mud.

    Bought EBC yellow stuff from Napa to get ready to change brakes. Trying to look for a good deal for OE rotors…

    $66 at this dealer; you'd probably get hammered on shipping, but maybe your local dealer or one closer to you can price match....

    Thanks for the suggestion!! I did find my lowest one to be $360 from a dealership in Massachusetts. These guys probably won’t price match if I bought in person would they?

    Trying to get them soon to change out before my driveway is snowed out lol

    These guys shipped to me last year for a reasonable price (given the weight), but yeah $360 is freakin' ridiculous, and if they are quadrupling the retail on these things (triple over MSRP), I doubt they'll match...

    Here's a dealer closer to you about the same price...

    Appreciate it!

    Also, who is running SS brake lines here? Real notable difference? I’m thinking of picking up the SDHQ kit while I do this change. Toytec seems to only come with 4 vs SDHQ of 6…

    :wave: Didn’t notice any perceivable difference. Don’t think replacing the 2 rubber lines to the rear calipers helps much, but no reason to leave them if your upgrading the other 4 lines.

    Swapped Limited Grill for this one. Paint is off a bit but Im happy with it. Will prob fade out a bit and end up matching over time. upload_2023-11-2_10-0-7.jpg

    Changed the oil and the rear differential fluid today. I was utilizing my free oil changes from the dealer and this is the first one I did myself. Also switching from 10k oci to 5k oci. Put on a fumoto valve while I was at it. This was the first rear diff change I’ve done and currently at 65,xxx miles. Wasn’t horrible at least. I’ve seen worse on this website lol

    I did 10k interval changes on my 2013. I do 5-6k on my 2020. The Fumoto and MotivX kit makes it nice.

    It's a nice kit. I love the threaded funnel. I use the kit on both of our 'Yotas.

    So I used Mobil 1 because it was on sale at Sam’s club for $10 off a 6 quart case. It was really easy to pour in quart bottles even without a funnel but if I was pouring in from a 5.5 quart jug, that threaded funnel would have been a game changer.

    You can tell the shade variance but I'm still happy with it . My OCD approved of it as well .

    Good call. I’m definitely leaning towards keeping them separate.
