    Happy 4th of July

    My birthday is the 4th. So is my sister, who's 4 years younger. It was always my sister's birthday growing up, though, ha. Neither of us were due on the 4th, FWIW. The nice thing about it is that I was never in school or had to work on my birthday.

    Looking for an SUV

    Size wise, I just feel like there's more risk of the tail wagging the dog with the smaller 4Runner. Complete guess here, but I envision having to really wind out the 4.0 to keep up on the highway or when going over mountains/hills when towing a load, too.

    Looking for an SUV

    I own two 4runners (2005 & 2017). I would not tow 5k lbs with either of them regularly. I used to own a 2013 Sequoia. I towed 5k+ lbs with mine and it handled it just fine. Ours had the air suspension, so it countered any tongue weight and sag wasn't an issue. I'd definitely recommend a...

    Anyone here ever use darwins grip? Impressions?

    I've got one on my Stihl FS70. I have a couple herniated discs in my back, so being slightly bent over using a trimmer was always a literal pain. The Darwin grip allows me to stand upright. No more pain. Mine is a couple years old at this point, and I know they have a newer model - not sure...

    89 Chevrolet locking rear differential

    Yeah, only 5 lug on the 2wd half tons. Another potential stumbling block is the gear ratio. ie, the axle out of the 2wd would need to match the front diff of the 4wd it's going into.

    Show your tractors :)

    Nice tractor! I've heard good things about Branson Are you fully out of Florida now? We're headed down to the gulf coast, south of Tampa, for three weeks on Tuesday. Here's my New Holland TC45 doing work when I was building my garage a few years ago. And here it is back in the same garage...

    How to ask for raise/promotion

    Do you have regular reviews by your supervisor or manager? If so, then that's the perfect time for this discussion/request. If not, then request one and go into it fully prepared with a list/overview/whatever of how valuable you are to the company and a reasonable request re compensation. If...

    How much for timing belt - 06 Solara V6?

    I've done this job on a couple Highlanders with the 3.3 V6 and there's nothing terribly difficult about it in that chassis. Not sure how much harder the Solara chassis makes it, if at all. Guessing book time is 4-6 hours. An Aisin kit can be had for ~$200, which I'd recommend using, if not...

    Oil & filter recommendation 2016 Yukon Denali

    I've got a 2021 Tahoe with the 6.2 (L87 vs your L86). The first oil change was free at the dealership, but now that it's on my dime, I'm going to use Harvest King 5w30 from Rural King (Dexos1 G2) with a Fram Ultra XG10575.

    James May shows why Tesla engineers are so smart, they come full circle to being fantastically stupid.

    Humorous presentation by Captain Slow, but not a deal breaker for me.

    Moving out of state - options to get it done

    If it were me, I'd do the Uhaul and hire help on each end option. That just seems like the right mix of cost/convenience/headache.

    2017 Yukon 6.2 suddenly running very rough and check engine light

    Let it sit overnight and see how it is in the morning. Best wild-guess, without knowing codes and with the info provided, is something got wet in the carwash.
