Thanks for sharing - you single handedly made many people here a bit happier with their TCHs - Good luck on the reassembly.

 

I don't think its poor taste either.

The rat died in the car, he had to dismantle it to get the poor dead thing out and

this is a tribute to the poor creature who went the wrong way and met a sad fate.

Hope the car gets back together easily!

A few people have mentioned reassembly. I have to say this is by far the easiest car I've pulled apart from the inside out.

All the mess you see really just went back together like a set of Lego's. Common screws, tabs and slots that made sense, really.... bravo once again to Toyota for really thinking things through. Honestly, if I didn't stop to scrub and decontaminate every piece as it went back, I could have put the car back together in about 15 minutes.

No kidding.

 

Think of the frequencies you can hear. Properly modulated those frequencies can produce beautiful, soul-stirring music. Modulated differently into high-amplitude static... or the Barney song for that matter and those same frequencies can be quite repulsive.

Apparently the HSD system makes sweet music, above our human threshold of hearing.

 

12mm socket attached to a cordless impact gun. I ended up pulling the air bags too.

 

THANK YOU for creating a new thread on this. I personally have no problem at all with separate threads for deviations on a topic. It helps a LOT to keep the individual threads on topic.

As for poor taste - the title was quiet helpful. I'm also not offended by it, and I find it quite interesting to see the actual rat, as well as where it was.

I do think that some people need to lighten up. This isn't exactly a "booming' board. I host "ProbeTalk.com" with more than 15,000 ACTIVE posters.. THAT is an active board where too many threads is a problem. Not so much here.

 

I hope to took advantage of the situation to put some sound dampening in there!

 

The moral of the story, for the rest of us, is probably just:
Keep the rodents out of the car, in the first place.

 

So which option package includes the rat?
