Yakima now makes a clip that will allow you to run a bar (round or Jetstream aero) on the front if your 4 Runner 5th generation. If you get two Baseline Towers and a set of base clips number 175, you can mount a bar 10 inches behind the top of your windshield. It’s the sort of rack that clips...

. Looks cool, but bikes with hydraulic disc brakes need to stay upright.

Actually I didn’t like it and sold it. Looked very home made.

After having dealt with Gobi, I wouldn’t put any stock in anything they say. Anything. You might get it in 10 weeks, you might get it in 50 weeks. When I ordered mine, I asked for no rise in the front. They said ok, but months later, they hadn’t started the rack because they couldn’t figure...

Got mine done at Foothills Toyota, Burlington, WA. It was surprisingly fast, like little over an hour. And they had me come in the same day I called. No way to know from sitting there waiting if they removed dash or not. It looks the same as when I took it in. Hmm, maybe they just told me...

They still make trucks and cars that require you to take the key out of your pocket?

I like to keep my car clean. Take an interior car cleaner wipe and wipe down your steering wheel. You’d be shocked at how it turned from white to brown. Maybe not all germs, but dirt. Just don’t do it every day or we would have to worry about you! I was given a rental car once, and I could...

Isn’t that a Highlander?

In many states license and registration info is public and will be furnished on request. But I agree, why cover it? Google knows everything you think, but few people care about that, or at least not to stop using google or it’s tentacles.

Glad I saw this. I will leave console vault open and empty. on another airbag note, just read where Honda is recalling more cars for the airbag issue. seems that the airbags they used to replace the defective airbags are also defective, and they are now recalling over a million of those...

All federal workers who don’t pay into social security (if there are any like that left) under the old civil service retirement system, did pay into Medicare, just not social security. Medicare itself should have that on your record. Also, if you are a retired Fed, you can keep your federal...

You mean tear down the franchise by paying staff to underinflate footballs, then destroying your cell phone so the NFL investigators can’t get access to it, then tricking the owner into (allegedly) going to a massage parlor where girls are being trafficked, multiple times?
