Title: Essential maintenance
Post by: ribbert on May 18, 2016, 09:30:23 AM
The list of things I need to do to my FJ today:

Change oil and filter....nah, another 1000kms won't hurt it.
Wash and re oil air filters.....it runs better when they're dirty anyway.
Fit new horn, hasn't had one for over a year...... I never use it, it can wait.
Clean it, it hasn't been washed since before the rally in March.......I think it's going to rain Sunday, I'll wash it next week.
Fix my GPS/HUD speedo..........well, I do have it on my Garmin so it doesn't really matter.
Fix the broken tabs on my side covers........the seat seems to do a very good job of holding them in place, not urgent.
Bleed rear brake, been fading a bit lately.......sounds messy and as I have no trips to the mountains planned, it can wait.
Fit new insulation to belly pan......hmmm, it hasn't melted without out. Probably over engineered and doesn't actually need it.

And there's probably more if I......HANG ON... the RH heated grip isn't working!

OK, fixed.

The MO of a great mechanic, knowing what's important and what's not.

One spark away from a melted hunk of aluminum and a steel frame.... :sorry: :shok:

That looks scary
