    Limit six (6) Rewards (maximum of $30.00) per person. So that almost covers the recent price increases. 😢 At least it's something if you are buying now. Thanks for sharing.

    Winter Tires for Severe Winter - Michelin X-Ice not Cutting it

    Costco is showing the Blizzak Icepeak in 225-60-17 for Tucson for $199. Sale takes off $80, mount/balance free, 5 year road hazard included. They are $15 more per tire on Tire Rack, no sale showing and still need to get mounted and I think TR does a 2 year road hazard. X-Ice Snow+ shows $231...

    What $65 mil buys you in Kelly, Wyoming

    Just a bit outside my current budget. The way I cut my grass would only take me about 380 hours to do it once. Of course a new ZT may help speed that up a bit. :ROFLMAO:

    Is the glassparency windshield coating still a consideration in 2025?

    I tried that a couple times. It was OK but I liked Aquapel (the real stuff) better. Rain-X still is the quickest, easiest and works just doesn't last that long but to do before a trip or tune up what's on there it's excellent. I use the Rain-X on sides and rear since no wiper wear. I'll need to...

    Is the glassparency windshield coating still a consideration in 2025?

    Bump back - my kids got me some Aquapel for Fathers day. It's fake. They got it from Walmart.com with lots of good reviews. I had concerns with the last ones from Amazon prior so I tried a "new" one. I used it Saturday on daughter-in-laws Tucson, now I need to get whatever it is back off before...

    Ecogard X2500 C&P

    ADBV feels like cardboard but at least still looks flexible with whatever heat cycles, time, mileage it has. Serious question without hitting all the sticky's and university 101. How much does a stiffer ADBV like nitrile affect the system when mounted on a vehicle that opening's face up? Does...

    XT5 dark trans fluid drained at 31k mi

    Is there a transmission cooler in bottom of radiator like some vehicles? Are there cooler lines going from a hockey puck style back to tranny? Quick search shows a towing package option that had other cooler options. Maybe you can add an aftermarket version in line or get factory stuff.

    Is USPS completely incompetent now?

    My sister mailed 2 birthday cards to me, one from her, one from my mom. They are about 80 miles from me. She put both of them in teh same mailbox at the same time. One of them showed up in 3 days, the second one took 10 days.

    Thoughts on plastic replacement parts?

    I recommend streetsurvival to everyone with a teen that I know that is starting to drive. My kids and daughter-in-law took it, you can tell their confidence and awareness changes through the class but more importantly their awareness of surroundings. My son did it 2x so his girlfriend (now...

    Worth the money or should I do it myself?

    Parts and labor from what I recall with the asterisk for extra. I believe they listed basically pad slap, maybe rotor resurface and then extra if new rotors.

    Is BITOG an oil site or a car site

    I came because of an oil burning issue in my car. I lurked for many years just reading and learning and officially joined 18 years ago. This place has cost me so much money in oil and saved me so much money at the same time. Then there is the time I spend on line here. My kids (26 and 23) joke...

    My new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5

    Check out the Cooper Road+Trail AT. They rock the off road looks but are actually nicely quiet on road for trips. Best riding tire out 4 sets on my father-in-laws Renegade. They were ok this past winter when I tried it. Not my VikingContact's but had no issues if you plan accordingly. They are...
