Not that computer savy so looking for your thoughts on internet dropoffs. I live south of Tacoma and have Comcast internet and TV. It seems lately I have been having internet outages that have been lasting from 10 minutes to an hour. Perhaps once every two or three days for the last 3 months...

Last night, my wife's 4Runner was broken in to while parked in our driveway. She's positive the door was locked but there are no signs of forced entry. The contents of the center console was emptied out on to the passenger seat. A storage compartment in front of the shifter was also open. In...

Dropped my retirement papers and have decided to take a road trip. I will be driving my Tundra. I figured I will toss my sleeping bag, tent, a case or two of MREs, a case of water, and my camera into truck and go. Then I started thinking about a Coleman stove, fire extinguisher, air compressor...

I could really use some advice here. I have a 2 year old Dell laptop with 8 GB RAM. It came with Windows 8.1 and I recently upgraded to Windows 10. During the install process, it said my Symantec Endpoint Protection program had to be uninstalled. I uninstalled it and after Windows 10 installed...

I want to replace the windshield on my Tundra. I was just wondering if anyone has had any recent experience with Safelite. I'm more concerned with the quality of their glass since I was told they are an OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) supplier and not an OEM supplier.

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone had experience with the Michelin LTX A/T2 tires? Any thoughts to share? I've been reading a lot about the LTX M/S2 tires but not much on the A/T2s. By the way, the wife has the M/S2 tires on her 4Runner and thinks they are the best tires she's ever driven on...

I have a set of BF Goodrich Long Trail Tours on the 4Runner. Bought them from Discount Tire 3 years ago. We now have 30K on them and have been rotating them every 5K. After the tires were rotated at the 15K mark, the vehicle had a noticeable pull to the left. The wife drives the 4Runner and...

I just took my 2011 Toyota Tundra in for it's first oil change. Despite preferring to do my own oil change, I've decided to use the free maintenance plan for the first 25K. In the past, when I checked the oil, I thought the factory fill oil seemed a bit thick. But what can you tell by feel? It...
