Got this baby in. Some thoughts:
1. RLD does a really good job with this crate. Not a scratch on the cap. Taking it out by myself was interesting... the foam rubber packing help a lot to put the cap on its end to save garage space until my factory ordered JTRD comes in.
2. Really only packing...
Funny how people think Toyota is some miracle cure.
Toyota has had:
14,889
service bulletins
Documenting the process of troubleshooting common problems.
and
642
recall campaigns
Time-sensitive, repairs for widespread safety problems.
None are those are explosions, just rapid burning/ignition of fuel. At the very most just a tiny bit of fuel fume ignition in the non-liquid fuel portion of the fuel tank, then the liquid fuel burns.
ex·plo·sion

Another lesson unfortunately why you only take a vehicle to the dealer as an absolute last resort. And then you must check their work to the best of your ability. A lot of the people working on vehicles these days don't give two craps about doing a decent/safe job. I've experienced a crazy...
IMO don't take the risk with these super cheap Chinese batteries. Not to mention they don't put out their rated power.
Get something like a Battleborn.
Shrug, I stand by my statement. More likely than not IMO a persons oil change will be done by the least paid workers at a dealer service center or oil change place, who are high turnover, low paid, barely trained individuals.
How is your son personally doing your oil changes for you relevant to...
Ya that's true. Myself being born in late '79, I'm actually close to being a "millennial". I think Millennials get a lot of guff that should be directed at "Gen Z". Although "Gen Z" doesn't roll off the tongue like "Millennial" does.
Thanks. I don't know why people think I'm angry. It's just how I write/talk lol.
And for others; it's not about being a "man". It's about protecting your investment and limiting liability.
I like to assess things using the military risk assessment matrix:
When it comes to a failure out in...
10 minute oil change is grunt work? So I take it you do zero work on your Jeep yourself? You know there are 4-star Generals and CEO's that work on their cars right?
And no, you don't have to take the used oil to drop off every single oil change. Most containers can fit 3-4 oil changes in them...
I think almost everyone here is mis-representing how "quick and painless" having the dealership change your oil is.
You have to drive to the dealership, then get out of your vehicle, go inside, possibly wait in a line, sign the truck in/work order, then either wait around for the work to be...
IMO then people cannot complain when the dealer messes something up. The service industry is abysmal in this country now. Virtually no one has pride in their work anymore, they all think they are "underpaid" so don't give a sh*t, and aren't held accountable when they do mess something up because...
I plan on using a Titan Sidekick:
And then using a valve tapped on the bottom of the tank, then running a gravity line to the OEM filler neck with a "T". I will also have a "T" near the Titan tank to tap diesel for my diesel heater. What could go wrong?
