    Beginner Fluid Maintenance

    Great reference. I get these are standard intervals, but 3 years on a cabin air filter is way too long. I change mine every 6-9 months. The high humidity combined with organic matter, pollen, and everything else trashes them quick. I’d recommend no more than a year of you care about your...

    Costco and Tire Sizes

    For what it’s worth, I won’t buy tires anymore from Costco. They scratched my wheels (all of them) and 2 different stores couldn’t balance my tires correctly. Took all their weight off (which were about as effective as lick and sticks) and took it to discount tire. They got it perfect the first...

    Toyota Land Cruiser

    It’s a goner. The question is will they run 24 as is, or will they burn inventory until production ramps up. Guess we’ll find out this month or next. New Year production starts in August I think.

    Squeaky Fox Shocks

    Thanks for the feedback. I previously pulled the shock cover and inspected the wiper seal. It seems to be doing it's job and I didn't hear any noise from it when I put my ear to it. Spraying the top of the shock mount with some light dawn water makes the noise go away, which is why I suspected...

    Squeaky Fox Shocks

    I was waiting to do anything since I saw that my dealer was getting in a few Pros. Went and looked at one today and the rear shocks squeak the same as mine, which means the dealer definitely wont do anything about it since they already told me its 'normal' for the fox shocks. when it's not 1000...

    Squeaky Fox Shocks

    Update - I’ve suspected the wiper seal was the culprit here, but after pulling the plastic cover, the seals weren’t making a peep. However, after spraying some mild soapy water on the top shock bushings, the noise seems to have gone away. Obviously this is temporary, and explains why it went...

    Goat windshield wipers

    I know OP said no OEM, but I also find them very good. I just replaced the inserts on my Camry (with another set of OEM inserts) after 5 years. They’ve handled the torrential FL rain no problem, and they’re like 20 bucks to replace both.

    More dreaded front end shimmy

    Are they road force balancing? If so, ask them what the numbers are. If they're not, tell them to do that. If they're not willing to do anything, just put the rears back on the front. The tires will wear unevenly, but at least it wont drive like shit. I've seen quite a few people take this...

    Squeaky Fox Shocks

    Unfortunately, the sleeves look perfect. No signs of rubbing. The information I saw was posts on forums/reddit, which isnt the easiest to dig back up, but essentially what you said is along the lines of what I saw people saying they did.

    Squeaky Fox Shocks

    Thanks for sharing. Yes, it's only the rear. I didnt notice the sleeve rubbing, but I'll get back under and look again. When I washed the truck last week they didnt make a peep for the rest of the day (I'm assuming because they water lubed something). Next day back to normal though. I'm going to...

    TRD PRO towed -City of Boston "street sweeping"

    You can see him do it. They bang a cheese shaped wedge into the door pillar to bend it back away from the frame (some places use a similar device but it's a pump), and then they use a rod to press the unlock button inside the door.

    Least Miles Winner?

    That's probably around what I'll be at, probably a little less. Just traded my 22' Tacoma which had 1300 miles on it after 10 months, but I plan on driving the runner a little more on family trips. Never intended to to do that with the Tacoma.
