    Toyota And Nissan Warn Japanese Buyers Their US-Built Cars May Have Panel Gaps

    Panel gaps on my 24 taco appear precisely aligned in every dimension. Consistent all the way around, all 4 doors. Wife’s 24 RAV - I’ve not noticed any issues. Just for a data point The Lexus GS I had, was very well done - i believe it was manufactured in Japan - i did not that the rubber in...

    2015 Toyota Tundra- repo bid

    I think you did good @GON. *He will love it.* Thats a lot of truck with a lot of motor, a lot of steel, minimal rust. Interior looks really good. Not known for transmission troubles. All the tired black stuff will respond well to satin rustoleum brush-on paint or aerosol bed liner. (Paint will...

    Mid-life crisis car plan

    Depends how you like to drive? When I wanted space and was in traffic all the time, the minivan was excellent and a great platform for sound system mods. I had a gen 1 Miata and it was a hoot and I loved taking it with me everywhere - and then somehow I got bored with it? Not sure how that...

    A geologist reviews Cooper Discoverer AT3 LTs on his field truck

    @Astro14 has a set of these on his late model tundra. He recently wrote a couple paragraphs on them and his comments were very favorable. They seem like they could be a very good choice.

    Need new brakes for 2018 Subaru Legacy Sport - Rear

    I want to like akebono. They used to be my goto. The quality is mostly good. I have used both the ACT and ASP lines. Pros - most of time the quality is top notch - I have had the best luck with them on hondas Cons - they have a wooden feel to them which I don’t care for at all, like a dead...

    Never ever had a car with a working AC

    I live in the southern USA and have owned cars with no AC. It gets crazy humid here so the car was a sweat box. Dark colored paint is awful for heat. Can you get maybe white vinyl plastic, the kind they’d use for a wrap, and apply a square to the roof? This should make a Huge difference. I...

    Used Riding Lawnmower - Which Brand and Model

    Half acre doesn’t need a large rider. I have a 34” ZTR and if anything it’s done too soon. Ariens zoom 34 has been a good mower. There are certainly times where I’d like the sturdier quality of a LT but for cutting grass and dragging things around it has done everything I need and can ramp up...

    Any downsides to the Lexus GS series?

    It’s the last of an era where large LCDs were nicely tucked inside the dash and didnt require near-sighted vision to read.

    What are you working on today?

    Grabbed the shovel and continued digging for long enough to surprise myself … 45 minutes? Working towards a tool shed. Sprayed weed n feed, mostly for the “weed” part.

    Is the Hybrid Mavrick right for me?

    True. We have a rav4H which is the same architecture. It is a blast to drive for sure. A friend of mine at church recently bought the hybrid maverick. Hes a car guy, traded a lifted F150 for it, loves the maverick. Theres something to be said about the freedom in not being tied down to...
