Hey guys and gals, Here are videos about stuff I have going on. They are extremely unprofessional and I do very little editing. There will be an occasional beer in the backgound, run on sentences, and I misspeak all the time. Lighting is guaranteed to be horrible and camera will always be shaky.
Have a great day!

Don’t buy a Toyota, get a Jeep.
What a great video to educate potential buyers of these electric money pits. Ford's now losing tens of thousands on every one they sell, since having to drop the prices for this model which wasn't selling. It's now late 2024 and there are plenty of 2022's still on dealer's lots. What was a 90k model can now be bought for 60k or a bit less !
The high pitch background noise is horrible.
She’s a beauty…..👍🏻
😂 this guy !!
Thank you. Update?
This is great! Thanks man! Another KZread hero 07
What mode do drive in? Regular,sport or one pedal
3 years later, and his “if anyone buys it they’ll have to watch my video” still rings true lmao
Awesome video: I just jacked up my 2014 Model S to perform this repair. Can't wait to see how it goes.
I'm interested in getting rid of my 2023 Tesla Model Y dual motor and getting a RAV4 Prime XSE. The Prime has much better total range and no worrying about charging when going to remote areas. There is currently a good deal on leasing a RAV4 Prime with a $6,500 rebate. Then I can choose to purchase after the lease expires. Now I need to decide if to wait until the 2025 model comes out.
Would you be willing to sell a course on how you connected it to Ford Lightning battery? I have standard range version and looking into ways to expand the battery capacity with battery.
Yeah, I'd pay for this too. As far as I know James is the first DIYer to do this...
Great video. Well done! 👍🏻
I made a rocket body tube out of tubular carbon fiber and, IIRC, West Systems epoxy. I burned a cut off section about 6 inches long and the cured epoxy burned out and I was left with a flexible section of the CF. I am sure that CF was not any good at that point, but I thought it was interesting.
Glad to know it's capable in the snow. I'm awaiting delivery of a 2024 RAV4 Prime XSE. I totaled a 2021 Highlander Hybrid hitting a deer last week and I was shocked it took less than a few calls to dealerships in-state to find one available using Smart Path. The dealership is 2 hours away
Sad to learn that after 10 years that Electric cars will eventually break down. Rav4s are great when it’s pure gasoline only. I know that batteries are complicated to deal with according to Scotty Kilmer. They save gas and money, I got to say, but the life expectancy is what makes it difficult. Thanks for sharing. Have an amazing day! 😊
You said to put your foot on the brake but if I put my foot on the brake before I hit the power button it will not let me go into room mode. I have to keep my foot off the break and then hit the power button
just curious - if you're using room mode, how long does it take to charge using a fast charger from 0%? i'm just curious if i can actually sit in the car while it charges and use room mode or if its better to leave it and go for a walk
Do you guys not have building codes? That doesn't look 18" below grade for your conduit.
Great video. I will be doing this on 2 of my 1961 Impala's, So I can use my factory key with awesome custom push start buttons
It literally says hold ok on the screen
Your ford lightning was stolen?!?
Hey did you sell it???
All the racks will fade and rust. This one is well worth the $$. Cut the bolts short and put in the plugs.
This did not work for me. I mounted it on the same spot, but it kept falling off. I made sure to press down on it for 2 mins at install, then wait 24 hours for the adhesive to bind... But, after a little time with my phone on it, it would slowly peel off... not sure if they changed the material on the dash on mine... I have a 2023 Lariat Lightning. I like the idea of the maglite mount and the "wireless" charging... but I went back to my iOttie phone holder...
Closing the lid with your son inside? Maybe it is smarter than that
cant believe you are going to put a EV motor in
As long as the same mah are in parralel they can series connect to lower mah parralel series. Bms charge positive groups/ parralel groups. Just keep the parralel cells as close as possible in mah.
What is the model of the phone charger that you use? Thanks!
im just wordering if you put your tesla model x in ludicrous mode which is the fastest mode for the tesla
Will adding this fix cranking issues, idk why but sometimes I would hold the key and nothing happens for a few seconds then the car starts cranking. It turns on great on the first attempt of the day and as I drive the car through out the day the harder it gets to crank. Any tips?
If your battery is in good health then I’d recommend checking your carb if you haven’t swapped to EFI.
EXCELLENT video, thanks…. Is there any to tap into the front camera? Thanks again
Tip Number 1, trade it in and buy truck with an Internal Combustion Engine
Blah blah blah….. you lied in your title, never bought the cart and all ya did is piss and moan about your ev charging drama, get a duramax
It would be interesting to compare the cost of internal charge mode vs public charger cost. Comparing the cost of gas vs the public cost of charging. Great video. I own a 2024 RAV4 Prime SE.
I wonder if having a Tonneau Cover on the bed would reduce "drag" and give you better range, so that you don't have to fold in your mirrors? Just thinking
Thnx it helped
I own a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X with 110,000 miles. Nothing has broke yet, knock on wood.
Very helpful. The rarely used end of my driveway has forsythias branches which are flexible but otherwise cause the car to brake. So this is incredibly useful--I can now get out of my driveway that way without braking 100 times.
My daily driver for over 10 years is a 66 coupe. The turning radius sucks, but you get used to it. You really should go back to the floating horse in the grill, IDK why they would remove that. You can adjust the tilt of the back part of the seat by folding it forward and you'll see an adjustment point. Not that much help, but you're right into that steering wheel. For safety, you might want to look into shoulder belts. You said "not a fast car", a V8 Mustang should be pretty powerful, if not, plenty of mods you can do to the engine.
Ha, that's the exact same fast charger I used on my first road trip in my Lightning.
Thanks for posting this I just bought a rav4 prime and love it.
Amazing
Canada models of the rav4 can’t turn the headlights off at night…safety thing I guess…kind of annoying IMO..jealous of the American models
Great tip about the mirrors. I tried it on a 55 mph single lane (each way) road at night and got 2.7 mkwh. Also, on a hands-free blue cruise road section at 75 mph but only 2.0 - 2.2 mkwh at that speed.
Hello! I know this is quite a late comment on quite an old video but, do you think you still remember how many layers of Epoxy you put on?
I wish he stated how many miles on it when it died. I'm considering a used 2014 with 23K miles for $4500.
Thank you so much!
We recently brought our Prime in for a recall repair, and when we got it home this had been reset, and the charger was locking. No problem, right? Maybe it just got reset in the menu when they did some work? Nope. Toyota has removed this option entirely. Sadly, this video is now useless and misleading. Not your fault, it's Toyota's.
Not carpet.
