Meet "Fat Amy" my Amazon Green 200 Series

[Bodean]

So do I need to bring a tag to the meeting for you?

 

[MScruiser]

I guess hold off, Jeff. The club has talked me out of it.

 

[Bodean]

I've got em with me in case you have a change of heart again. ha!

 

[MScruiser]

Ha. A lot can change between now and then, I guess.

Dude just put an Ole Miss tag on there. You know you want to.

Yeah. No brainer.

Does that also necessitate one of those pink ghey baby whale stickers?

We could go five pages trying to figure out the best place to put the whale.

 

[MScruiser]

Just so you guys know, we have wasted 4 pages discussing license plates. Damn...

I did a few things to the 200 this morning:

Changed the oil, and installed the Venza Aluminum Oil Filter Assembly

I also installed a Fumoto valve on the oil pan (sorry about the lousy picture)

I then whipped out the pressure washer and MTM Foam Lance and gave it a good detail

Hey, check out my badass new plate. Thanks @wngrog

 

[FJ60Cam]

What does the Fumoto valve do? And the filter, what's up with that?

(The "like" was for the license plate)

 

[MScruiser]

The fumoto valve replaces the oil drain bolt. It has a fitting for a pvc tube, to make draining without a mess and without a tool possible.

The 200 has a plastic filter housing that can become cracked or worn out to the point that it cant be removed. The Venza has an aluminum version (go figure) that is the same specs as the 200, and can be fitted in it's place.

[wngrog]

Reminds me of Cool Hand Luke

Got my diff drop installed this morning. Wen't pretty easy. One nut was extremely difficult to get to though.

And here's a clearer shot of the Fumoto oil drain, for anyone who was wondering.
