Mine still works. I only have about 24k miles. I just feel it's time. It has been completely drained about 4 times. I just don't want to be away from home on a drive with the wife and have it fail. I left my dongle plugged in overnight and drained it again.

It's the prudent thing to do.

Picked up a TRD exhaust. Got it for a steal of a deal.

Needed a bit of TLC. Half way through shot. A little elbow grease and cleaned up decent. All the corrosion is gone.

Nice work. I see the steel wool. What else are you using here?

I started with steel wool and cleaning vinegar to remove the carbon gunk.
Then steel wool with metal polish.
Finished with microfiber and metal polish.

For batteries, I like Optima in this car. I bought the wrong one for my Taco on Amazon. Looked it up and it fit my FRS. I swapped it into the stock battery's place and moved the OEM battery into my solar powered shed.

Shed lighting is a 15w solar charger on a battery that runs a 400w/120v cheapo inverter. Works well running a couple LED lights. Been running the shed on used car batteries since 08. I used to be the typical DIY car guy who'd just wait until they died and I had to. Now I just replace them on typical schedule before they die, about ~4-5 years here in PNW with lead acid wet cells. Much more with AGMs. Then, I shuffle them to the shed to live out their dying days and recycle them when a new replacement comes out of the rigs. Been working well for me, and I don't deal with dead batteries anymore.

Back to the car, it's been in there about 5 years now, still not a hint of fading power. It can sit two weeks while we go on vacation, come back, fires right up.
