I wonder if a good underbody seal coat and semi-annual underbody wash would have extended the vehicle life by another 5 miles. We have monthly wash service here for $20 per month and a premium service to include underbody wash is about $40 per month. If I live somewhere that use high level of...

I am still hunting road warrior vehicle and went to several dealerships and came away with total disgust with the prices. The only vehicle I think is of a reasonable deal is the F350 crew cab gasoline (four full-size door and 4x4). It is a XL model and I did a quick comparison against a...

Nice.

I am not the person you asked but I may know some of the allure of the area. Flagstaff has great retirement and gate communities for people who can afford it. With the current border situation, that is a premium that people like me can justify if I want to live there. For me personally, if...

What do you do? Gent-club manager? That is the only job that would keep me vibrant and healthy.

I got 10 years and I am out. That is still a very long time away so I may end up working part time if I like it and it is worth it tax wise. I am not going to work extra to feed ukraine, izzy, and venzi. My plan is to be in Florida to reduce tax burden. Regardless of whether or not I work a...

OP here Thanks. It is a bucket list for me for sure. I may decide to go with Carmax and buy their warranty and call it an expensive dream. Still may be same amount as folks spend on cigarettes and going to Disney.

If it is the tiny V6 ecoboost and you two anything twice a moth, I would do 5k OCI. It is a very expensive truck and oil is cheap. If you change your own oil and like doing it, just get Kirkland oil and change it every 5k regardless of use.

Is the X2 a lithium battery? If so, isn’t lithium sensitive to extreme cold and extreme heat? A lot of folks with lithium jump-starters experience failure to operator when leaving their packs in the car during cold season. My area isn’t that cold but it still get to the mid-20’s at night and...

Bingo

My Gooloo GP4000 just jumpstarted a backhoe/tractor at the local dumpster last weekend. The operator forgot to turn the amber light off and we have been having sun-freezing temperatures at night so that thing was dead. I saw him struggle while I was dumping recycles so I offered to jump his...

If I was jumpstart cars all days for living (actual a dream post retirement job for excuse to crisis around on someone else gas) I would get 2 Gooloo GP4000, and 40-ft jumper cable, and maybe a JNC 1224. The JNC1224 packs two normal JNC660 into one package but it is heavy. I would most likely...

Honda doesn’t believe in that concept. I don’t even think their Ridgeline truck’s 12 volt in the bed is on with the key off. They have this great setup potential under the bed and they couldn’t figure out how to put a giant backup battery and/or auxiliary fuel tank in it to make it into a real...

Ooh. I need to do this and run a splitter with an extension to the backseat. This would work great with a roof rack system with a large solar attached to the bottom of the rack and behind the wind deflector. I got a spot at Panama City Beach that I always want to hobo at and this would be a...

I drive Honda so the lighter fuse doesn’t work with the key off. But if that does, can I run a 12 volt splitter and have the trickle charger goes to one 12 Volt socket while I connect some USB phone charger to the other socket? Basically, the concept is similar to using the battery bank to...
