Camry 2.5L is tried and true, if not a little boring. But I personally can live with boring if it gets me tried and true. I liked it when I test drove it, but I went with the Forester for ground clearance in lake effect snow. Otherwise, I'd be in a Camry.

Sounds like you've made the decision to unload the Mazda.

I would think this is the case as well. Ultimately, lifting a vehicle sends you down a rabbit hole. The spacers are a quick and dirty way out of the problem, and then we get the varying opinions on whether it's a viable solution or not.

And this is where you and I are arguing that by doing that, you're putting more stress on the studs, which is dangerous because if they fail, it will do so without warning whereas a bearing hints that it is going to fail through noises and such. Spidertrax spacers probably do the best job at...

The offset of the wheel doesn't have any affect on where the wheel is mounted wrt the hub itself. Like zrxkawboy said, it's still going to be mounted near the "shoulder" regardless of offset.

I went to the auto show this year and was fairly uninspired. But what really had me shaking my head was VW. Every single one of their models looked the same, just different sizes. I'm came into their display area from back side and I literally would not be able to differentiate the vehicles...

Fair enough, and I'll admit I'm speaking only from a lifted truck point of view. In those cases, it just becomes a cheap shortcut that will do more harm than good from a performance standpoint. And by performance, I'm talking about off road capabilities. I'll concede that the issues may not be...

You're still changing geometry, and the bearings pay the price. I agree some are better than others like Spidertrax, but I'd steer clear. Do the lift modestly and adjust your offset modestly by changing wheels if this is a daily driver. Even then, you're still making compromises. I just...

The stress on the studs of the hub. I don't know crap from Crisco, but I'd put money on the wheel spacers causing that driver's side front wheel to come off that truck that sent the Kia Soul airborne in California last month...

Wheel spacers are dangerous AF. If you want the wider stance, get wheels with an offset that supports it.

I really like my Garmin 93SV fwiw

I'm not a Chevy guy, but that's a great looking truck.

I'm wondering if I should get one of the last new Honda mowers before they go away.

That VQ40 will go a long time. Great engine. Even Scotty, who hates Nissan (right or wrong, no fights please) reserves some praise for the Frontier.

We just got a bichpoo (bichon/toy poodle) a month ago -- is that what that is also? (I'm not great with dog breeds at all so I can't completely tell)

~5000 miles since the last one... out - Valvoline 0w-20 EP/NAPA platinum oil filter in - same Will do UOA next time to check for fuel dilution.

I'm ready to go here on Lake Erie. Gonna be a little chilly at first, but I'll try to get it on the water in a couple weeks.

I didn't mean to be a Debbie Downer with my post, so I apologize if it derailed the thread. That said, let me pass on some advice, especially to the more recent marriages or the soon to be married. Just make sure your marriage is your priority. I think ultimately that is why mine didn't work...

I'm ok overall, thanks. Just not what I wanted, but nothing bad happened and it's 100% amicable.
