    Hay I just saw a guy car camping with his Yaris in Wyoming. He looked like he was comfortable. It was at a rest stop on hwy 80 . I was moving. I put the cover over my boat and slept in it. I have a Toyota echo. I love my little car. Was that you? Either way God bless you brother.

  • @sonofamountain2862
    @sonofamountain28623 ай бұрын

    So this vehicle comes with permanent eco mode,and that means you have no option of turning it off,so the vehicle only uses the 6 cylinders when you increase the speed,for passing cars and ect. But in the long run the constant change from 4 cylinders to 6 cylinders completely destroys the engine,so what you need it’s called a VCM modification,VCM stands for variable cylinder management,it’s literally plug and play,super easy,and I highly recommend it as soon as you purchase your vehicle. The car has a lot more power now, the VTec motor has been fully unleashed. Good luck and thanks for checking out this video.

  • @sonofamountain2862
    @sonofamountain28623 ай бұрын

    I had to custom make these,cause it’s really hard to find a roof rack for the Yaris . Once I had all the parts measured correctly,I had to JB weld and then drill through the roof to screw the roof rack mounts to the actual roof,then I had to water proof seal it with clear silicone. It worked!!! And no leaks, and it came out solid, I was able to put all my extra stuff up there.

    I am actually working on the lift kit as I written this, I been working on this for the past 3 weeks. I installed a 2 inch lift kit from Honda rescue garage,but I ran into some complications with the geometry of the suspension,so there’s a long list of things that I also have to modify in order to make this work,everything has to be changed,ball joints,tie rods,wheel bearings,camber,upper and lower control arms ect.. It has been one heck of a time. But am near the finish line,and when am done I’ll make a video explaining the entire process.

Are you still on stock wheels/rims/tires. Could that be why you have axle issues? Did you get the 2inch lift kit with no extra spacers etc. I would get the 3inch then with all the extra goodies but I know price difference is huge.
