My aunt has been on the lookout for a replacement vehicle for a while now, something that can tow her 2023 NuCamp Tab400 camper. She’s pretty set on the new Lexus GX550 but who knows when it’ll be available. With the new 4Runner that was just released, that could be a great option. However...

This is on the 2014 Grand Cherokee 3.6L I used to own, sold it to my aunt and still help maintain it. It’s had a P06DD CEL off and on since September. If I clear it it’ll come back after a few weeks. I haven’t driven it when the CEL turns on, but my aunt says it’s almost always while either...

Well, Thursday I left work in the Genesis for an oil change at the dealer (blasphemy, I know) and hit a pothole at only about 20 mph which put a hole and bubble in my right front tire. Got the donut on in about 10 minutes and made it to my appointment. Called Discount Tire and had them order my...

On my ‘96 Cherokee 4.0L, I replaced the RMS myself about 10 years ago. It’s started to leak again this past year, getting much worse this past month. I decided to take it to a local mechanic shop which I really like and have them replace it, which they did last week. They used a Mahle oil pan...

Thought this was pretty entertaining. Tesla released a video of the Cybertruck drag racing a Carrera 911. With a funny surprise at the end. https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-vs-porsche-911-drag-race-was-pure-spe-1851063400

Little utility trailers make things a lot easier, having 2 different ones means I don't need a truck sitting around. And these days the prices of trailers are insane. Looks like Harbor Freight is coming out with a new little utility trailer that is cheap and decent quality. Is pretty...

Toyota has now released the 2025 Toyota Camry. They're all hybrid now, gone are the standard 4 cylinder and V6. AWD is available in all trims. Toyota hit it out of the park with this IMO, I'm keeping my hopes up for a Camry Prime one day...

I figured I’d make a thread as I slowly fix up my ‘96 Jeep Cherokee. It was my grandpa’s and something I’ll keep forever. Have been dragging my feet on fixing it up. Just got some new Corbeau seats. Had to weld together a new frame for the driver’s seat to bolt to so it’s 3.5” further back for...

My brother needed a new battery for his truck yesterday so we went to Costco for a $99 Group 78 Interstate. Was told that in July Costco changed their battery warranty so that they are no longer a 3 year free replacement. Now it’s prorated about 3ish% per month, so after 18 months it would be...

Just what you've all been waiting for! I've been in England for about 2 weeks and had a rental car booked to travel from Liverpool over to the Peak District, then down through the Cotswold to Cardiff in Wales, then I returned it today in London. Overall I logged about 575 miles. I was going to...

You guys already know, it’s summer in Phoenix which means what else is there to do besides bake cookies in the car? The forecast was originally for 120, but I’m not sure what happened with that, it’s downgraded to 116 and it’s currently only 110 out. Also preheated a skillet outside for a few...

I know not many here are wanting a 4 cylinder Hyundai, but this one has the new 2.5L that hopefully doesn’t have the self destruct feature. Had this for 2 weeks and 1,000 miles as a loaner while my Genesis was in the shop. Overall, I was ok with it and it was better than I thought it would be...

Well here we are, I bought another Genesis. This one is a 2018 Genesis G80 Sport with the 3.3L twin-turbo, had 83k miles on it. I've put almost 2k on it so far. I really missed my 2015 with the 5.0L V8 and this turbo V6 does not disappoint. I got it in May and wanted to put some miles on it...

Towing a 3200ish pound camper with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 3.6L, 147k miles. On the highway the gauge is between 1/2-5/8. In the mountains it got to 3/4. For reference without a trailer it never moves from 1/3. Not sure of the coolant temp exactly as Jeep decided to not make that a digital...

Having some issues with the ignition coil on my sand rail with a built 2234cc VW turbo air-cooled engine. Has an 009 distributor and electronic ignition. I brought it back from a trip to the dunes and it wouldn't start when trying to pull it off the trailer. Would sputter a little bit but would...

Hello all, this is for my sand rail, it's got an air cooled VW motor, stroked to 2234cc and turbo'd. Running 20w50 but will switch to 15w50. Anyways, it has an external EMPI oil filter mount and currently has a Carquest 85348 filter on it. This cross references to a Fram PH3614. The VW forums...

A friend of mine is selling his ‘17 Sentra SV with 83k miles for what he owes on it, $8,300. He’s buying a new car. He bought the Sentra with about 8k miles, oil always changed. Thinking of selling my ‘07 Sonata in return. He had the CVT serviced before. That’s my main concern is the CVT...

Almost forgot, here we are again with another new year. Let’s start the year off with a BITOG donation, and maybe we can break last year’s record! I’ll paste my previous below

I recently bought this utility trailer and it had some Ling Long 215/60R15 car tires on it. They were 100% tread and no major cracks, 3318 date code but I wanted to start fresh and got some new Carlisle's. Anyways, I figured I'd keep the old tires and toss them on Facebook Marketplace for...

Hi guys, wondering what you'd recommend for oil in my new to me sand rail? I'll post the specs below. It's a really low mile engine, its use is strictly for performance. The guy I bought it from said he put some 20w50 in it, I'm thinking a 5w40 might be suited better? While it'll be driven hard...
