That 3.5 liter engine, though... My girlfriend had a Murano with the same motor. Go ahead and try to change the rear bank of spark plugs. You cant do that without taking the intake off. So, right there you open yourself up (pun intended) to damage and error, just to change plugs. And if they...

My recently purchased NOCO GB40 did not start my 4.0 liter Jeep. Then again, it's been sitting for two years. It did crank it, just not quite start it. I do think there are other issues. I've recharged the NOCO and may try again tonight or tomorrow. I have every reason to beleive it would...

Sure. I agree on the David Ramsey thing. Not everyone can do that right now. But...I couldnt build a 4 cylinder Chevy Custom Trail Boss, with no added packages or accessories for under $49k. Maybe during truck month I could get 5 or 8 grand off, IF I meet all thier conditions.

Even still, you are talking about TRD and Lariat. Those are not cheap models here either. I forget what is the exchange rate, but ok, I guess it's still expensive. There is the Custom Trail Boss or the Fx4. Not as pretty but somewhat capable, and customizable over time. But yes. Prices have...

We hear so much of Toyota reliability. I've always wanted one but prefer a larger truck. Hearing of Toyota's poor fuel economy and frame issues was a surprise to me. I fluid filmed my truck frame a couple years ago. Time to do it again.

By the way I see you've been around quite a bit, and more places than me that's fir sure. My comments on clothes fir space saving was written before I read the while thread. Clearly you probably already know that. I just know for me (ahem...and my girlfriend) clothes become an issue. More that...

If you are partial to Jeep, the Gladiator is nice

The simplest, least expensive, most effective solution is a nice ground tent with a ground tarp and sleeping bag pads. RTT with an 8 month old and a 5 year old, you do not need. It's a long way down and just asking for injury. Baby stuff, you need. Bunch of extra clothes? It's very easy to...

Maybe. We should calculate that out if you are trying to make a financial decision. Either way, the Land Cruiser has never been a typical-tier vehicle, much like the 2500HD Denali. Sure lots of people own either, but nowhere near as many as who own a 4runner or k1500 SLE instead.

I'm not trying to be snarky but any and all one-year -old vehicles had better be crazy mindless reliable or I'd trade it in.

84 grand? Sure, for a brand new, fully optioned GMC Sierra k2500 Denali or Chevy K2500 High Country maybe. A new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is in the 50's to 60. I dont know where that extra 24k comes from EDIT: just priced out a brand new GMC Sierra K2500 HD Denali Crew Cab Long Bed -the most...

Big fan of the manual 4x4 lever like on GMT400 trucks but they are gone. Manual gearbox Subaru? Maybe on 2 models only now. Otherwise get a 10 year old one.

Good to know about the 9 volt, then!

They usually come with a bypass mode so it will send a jump whether it detects voltage or not. Just, in bypass mode, there is no polarity protection circuit enabled, that's all. For me, I always keep jumper cables in any vehicle I have. The NOCO GB40 is a nice addition that should work if...

Just picked up a NOCO GB40 based on what I've read here. Was in Wallyworld and there it was on the shelf, and only about 5$ more than on Amazoo. Worth the 5 bucks not to wait so I grabbed it. I've charged it up. Wish it didnt only charge via USB but I guess that's progress. Will be trying on...

Every review for the Vortex Diamondback has mentioned that the Vortex Crossfire is lower priced and better bang for the buck. The Diamondback beats out the Crossfire in every metric but only by a smidge. If I were in the market I'd try the Vortex Crossfire

I've got some old, simple Bushnell (Spectator Sport?) model 13-1024's that do well. As the model# indicates they are 10x24 but they are somewhat compact, streamlined, and reverse Purro, so getting them in and out of the case is fast and smooth. Nothing ever gets snagged and I have no problem...
