    No more Kia Soul?

    A jacked up Soul with AWD would probably give it new life. It worked for Subaru with the Impreza/Crosstrek.

    The First Bridgeport mill

    That's a good question and I don't know. I should have taken a picture of the info plate by the mill.

    The First Bridgeport mill

    Interestingly, we live twenty miles from the Precision Museum. It's a collection of early machining history and technology. There is not much to do in the middle of winter so my wife and I checked it out. It's located in Windsor Vt. just west of the Connecticut river. The one item that stood...

    Are your breakers labeled?

    It's not that big of a deal to spend 10 minutes flipping breakers to figure out what goes where. But yes, you should do that before you buy the house.

    Bought a new Tundra

    I used to like camper toppers on my trucks. This time around I decided to go with an aluminum tonneau cover from Diamondback. They are not cheap and I recently found a lightly used one on marketplace. Here are two pics from the ad. I paid $1000 and drove two hours each way but I think that...

    Midsize truck shopping

    If it were not for the fact that I am 6'-5" then I would have a Ridgeline in my garage instead of my Tundra. I test drove a Ridgeline and it would easily have handled my hauling and towing needs but at this point of my life I just not willing to squeeze myself into small and cramped drivers seats.

    2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4WD

    I'm glad that you like your Taco. The information age that we live in seems to magnify the negatives. Happy miles.

    Post your Hybrid Gas Mileage

    Our '21 Rav4 hybrid has averaged 40.1 mpg since new over 47,xxx miles but the last few tanks have been mid thirties due to winter weather so I suspect that our average will dip into the high thirties before warmer weather and summer blend fuels arrive.

    What was the shade of the oil on your dipstick before you took it in?

    New tool thread

    I've had a shop press on my wish list for a while now. I bought a low end HF 12 ton press that should be fine for my needs with a 15% off coupon and I'm in before the tariffs. It looks a bit wonky in this photo because all the fasteners were just finger tight.

    Bought a new Tundra

    I agree with you especially during the warranty period, you don't want to give them excuse to weasel out as you say. After the warranty expires however, it's not so clear for me. The Tundra with the same V35A engine has 5w-30 oil recommended in Australia according to an Australian who posts...

    Bought a new Tundra

    I am sticking with the 0w-20 for now and of course I will let my dealer do the 10 and 20k free changes.

    Real estate, starting over

    That is troubling to hear about problem neighbors in a house that you have worked hard for and I feel for your plight. My wife and I retired 5 years ago at 58 & 52 to Vermont from Florida. Yes we did the opposite of most people and we love it. We downsized from the 2800sf Florida home where...

    wheel bearing

    I replaced them in pairs when I owned our Crosstrek. I'm not sure what the problem with Subaru wheel bearings is although I have read that the backing plate may be a contributing factor but I got to the where I was pretty good at changing them out and it is not hard to do. Cold weather and...
