it depends on how much fluid you lost. during covid I noticed one of my shocks weeping. not leaking really, just a slight weep of spray. it was attracting dirt/dust. I took it to the dealer since everything was shut down during covid and couldnt get bilstein 5100s. toyota replaced all 4 corners...

IMO FF is a great product. I use it on the punch welds and to line the drain areas in the doors and hatch. no rust. Im amazed at how the dust sticks to it and forms this thick black coat that stays oily and repels water basically forever after you apply it. for me in the spots I apply it I dont...

its probably all the fluid film weighing down my vehicle I bet

defenders are a premium tire. I think overall driving/comfort you will be impressed, you can't really beat defenders for everyday use. they are OK in winter weather as long as its not too cold. I have winter tires which will be better on ice and really cold weather, but I usually take my winters...

no it links the opposing corners together via hydraulics (X thats where it comes from). its different than KDSS and a lot of people hate XREAS because its a pain to fix, its a closed system for the most part so if you have a large leak you need not only new shocks but new hard lines too and an...

tailpipe fell off this morning. tried to inspect and see if I could somehow keep it up there. broke at the flange. couldn't remove it, exhaust going straight up and around wiring. got underneath and started inspecting. after about 2 minutes of a constant shower of rust flakes falling on my face...

maybe the USA has better gas than canada. I would believe it. but I can't accept these 20+ mpg readings. cannot. accept .

if you have your health and can still move around and manage the long drives it's not bad going back and forth, especially if you're retired. its when the car becomes uncomfortable and the lifting / DIYing down at the houses becomes a chore and it becomes more work than what its worth. I feel...

congrats on the retirement, are you going to keep the homes in california?

many people have done the limited suspension mod. basically when xreas leaks to the point you need new hard lines they rip it out and install a standard suspension set up. some people have xreas blow out early , others it lasts years. I have 180k miles on my limited and have only had to do...

no noticeable difference , but I dont drive through forest fires. I have the carbon, I find its restrictive, my wife complains air flow is not as strong. with a regular non carbon filter wife stays quiet. so guess which one I prefer

there's only 2 ways I see this being possible 1. the trip computer is not correct 2. you had the perfect conditions. wind at your back, in the perfect eco zone so probably not going too fast, in 2wd, street tires no AT nonsense and no extra modded weight or roof baskets etc. literally so...

does this thread work again? edit: success

Im going to assume you turned on the headlights and still did not see trailer running lights on? and try setting the lights setting to on vs. auto. I think I went through this before and I bought a trailer plug tester with a series of lights and discovered this. now if it worked before you...

sometimes when Im driving I'll just take my foot off the gas for a second accelerating to make it feel a bit like a manual car. my dad has an old sports car I use to ride in as a kid. I always liked the feeling when you move just a tad forward in your seat when you accelerate and upshift. it was...
