Tell me you would take that 1967 Jeep on a 3,000 mile round trip road trip at highway speeds, say NYC to Orlando and back within a week, and I'd have to give you a little side eye. The 03 Toyota - sure. If maintained at all, that should do it. To me, Audi is not, and never has been a typical...

?!? 100K for a Rav4? I'm sorry. It's not you, its me... I'd have to see that to beleive it.

The 8.1 liter motor does not have AFM. OP has the 5.3 liter with the AFM and it can be a concern if not very specifically maintained with proper 0W20 oil at proper intervals. Also, the GM oil countdown computer in some vehicles had a known issue where it was counting too slowly, so by the time...

No. It does not have the old 5.7 nor does it have the Vortec. It is the 5.3 liter AFM/DFM L83 motor. Oil MUST be maintained, and with the proper oil, lest the spring loaded lifters fail. They control dropping 8 cyl down to 4 cyl, and back

2014 GMc Sierra here. Basically stock. 5.3 l engine and 6 speed auto transmission... If you are not feeling any odd "bucking" from the transmission when slowing and speeding up, and if you have kept up with your oil changes with the proper oil type, and follow up with all of the basic...

Does it come in manual shift?

I have the BFG Advantage T/A on my girlfriends 13 GMC Terrain Denali AWD and man, are they grippy. Seem like a very good tire. had no problems at all during the New England winters. The vehicle has an excellent ride quality as well. At one point I found myself wondering if they made them big...

We were splitting Ash, Beech, Birch, Oak. Probably some others. We never burned any pine or evergreen in the house - that just leads to creosote.

Heh, heh... naw. I'd get beat quite easily, I'm sure. Unless I brought that 1970's G.I. Joe "Big Jim, with karate chop action" along

Estwing Camp Axe (hatchet, really) for the Zombie Apocalypse. Two of them. Light, accurate, easy to swing as extensions of your hands...just have to be closer

Sounds like kicka$$ work you did! Much respect to you! I wouldnt dare take any of that away from you. However, just for the sake of discussion...the large quarters @Todd n Natalie are not rounds so big that you have to chip around the edges and do the centers separate. In this case, I believe...

Unless it has been changed, see post #10 in this thread.

A safer alternative for sure

Maul. That is the tool for splitting short (18 inches to 2 feet or so) logs into firewood. Always has been. Axe is great for chopping a tree down. A splitting axe splits the difference. So if you arent also chopping down trees 3 feet across or so, and are only splitting firewood,and also can...

Had these or thier predecessors on both of my K1500 (full size) Chevy Blazers. Highway commuting and some camping/kayaking trips. Even when old, they never let me down. One time. ONE time. Rain and snow at once, with 8 inches on the ground, rain falling, semi slushy, almost mud-like properties...

Not so sure I would put the dog in a trailer. Some guys in the Beagle club have special dog boxes for the back of the truck. I'm not sure I'd even do that, but maybe I would if I had a whole pack. Hell, I rode in the back of my dad's truck all over upstate NY back in the very early 80's. Nobody...

This is my dilemma. When fuel prices were stabil until a month or two ago, the 100 mile daily round trip in my Sierra 1500 5.3l v8 with AFM was manageable. If I left early to avoid traffic and kept it in 2 wheel drive, I could cruise along at 60, the v8 engine dropping down to v4 mode, and get...

So...no CVT / 2010 or older 4 cyl with a standard shift seems to be an answer here?

Also thinking of Subaru as a new daily driver, also thinking older used, but I'm thinking Forester. Given the drivetrains are similar I am watching this thread
