Very good to see things like this because one would not likely see it often enough. Good video!

Just replaced all four of my shocks/struts this weekend on my 04 tacoma 4wd. Made a world of difference on the ride quality. I also took it to the toyota dealership for a full inspection and list of recommended repairs. If you were in Cali I'd take it to you

I miss my '96 4runner :( I had 400k miles on it when I sold it. The only thing wrong with it was the suspension was shot. The 3ltr V6 was bulletproof.

Great SUVs, only problem with these is the gas mileage due to there enormous weight and the trailing arm weld points snapping from corrosion. It's amazing to see them like this one in a salt free climate ~ hardly no rust.

A couple of suction cups with a couple of people pulling as fast as they can, might be able to pull that dent out of the fender. Many dents without creased steel can be pulled right out. It might not come out perfect, but will be a lot less noticeable than a big dent. And it's free. I pulled a dent out of my rear tailgate on my Ford Expedition that I got from backing into box spring in a debris pile from Hurricane Katrina. (No backup cameras on them in 2005.) Unless the light is just right, you can't see where the dent was. Just keep moving the suction cup around and pulling as fast as you can. That Toyota is a good example of why even electric vehicles will still need repair. Tires and suspension parts will still wear out, as will interior seats and carpets. Window mechanisms and electrical switches will still break. In places where they use it, road salt will probably eat up electric vehicles in about 12 years, just like it does to combustion engine powered ones. Salt water will corrode most aluminum alloys, but not all of them.

I've started to spray all rubber components underneath my vehicle with 303 Protectant . While it is on a mechanics lift and I am changing the oil every 5000 miles . As I suppose the salt from the ocean can / does deteriorate the rubber and cause rusting . Though being in California , I wonder if fluid film / surface shield used to prevent rust is banned for use .

Not that I'm aware of it being illegal in CA. The only thing banned that I'm aware of, is chlorinated brake clean and maybe ethanol based windshield fluid. Could never find off the shelf the washer fluid that's the under 32° versionin

@@LAactor I mentioned the 303 Protectant as it resists and prevents cracking of plastics and rubbers . And they have a version for boating , etc . As people have said they use it on their scuba diving suits . And for bushings that have to be replaced , but money won't allow it . There is AT-205 Re-Seal that swells up the rubber , keeps them from deterioating until replacement . I also liberally spray it in my engine compartment , periodically . All the plastics and rubber look new and for door seals .

You showed the steering. I'd like to pick the hive mind about steering on my 09 tacoma. The steering is very stiff. it gets better with use, but still hard. Where should i start looking?

Maybe the easiest thing to try would be to change the power steering fluid if that hasn't been done in awhile. Even a fluid replacement would help if it's old - just suck out whatever you can from the reservoir and put in the new fluid. Drive it around a week then do it again. Repeat several more times. This channel has a video on how to do it more quickly.

I suck out my power steering fluid reservoir often and replace the fluid up top. I do it often enough, I don’t want to open up connections.

This truck is a beater. It's 23 years old. It's been neglected. It needs more than TLC. The dents are a warning not to park next to it in a parking lot. This truck should be put down.
