Had big over loaded trailers used as site storage at our sailing club stolen. Tongue weight easily over 1000lbs!!! One thief used a FJ?. Hope it was his truck and its bent like a banana now. We pull tires now. Its one thing to cut a lock or chain with a cordless grinder in 50 seconds vs try to...

Most Toyota engines suffer bearing failure between 350,000 and 400,000. The taxi guys all plan on ICE replacement around 350,000.

Dont kid your self about mileage though. The Full time 4x4 V8 Toyotas don’t get 16mpg especially with all terrain tires!! Its a big reason I don’t have Toyotas today.

I like these. But they aren’t warm and are not as durable as jeans. They dry fast tho and have been great for hiking, sailing and every day stuff. I use Carhartt stuff for when durable material clothing or warmer stuff is needed...

I’m looking at these for my dad. The 2100 PC is mainly a 1 person rig. The 2350 targets two people. However!!! The 2350 is 24ft bumper to bumper with fixed bed and full bath. Thats the biggie especially for my dads plan. They seem to average 8-10mpg in the v10 versions.

Great trip!! what does a green moss agate look like? Assuming I used the correct name?

These types of bladders were tried many yrs ago by a few ocean yachts for easy water containers. Long distance ocean races have strict requirements regarding gear and water. The sailboat I raced we had two hard tanks we strapped into the boat to meet Regs. Many others tried the bladders. Day 6...

My street had a fall early winter rat issue spanning about 5 houses length wise up the street. I back up to a creek but 3rd house up doesn’t. 4 of us teamed up set snap traps with peanut butter bait. I’m currently at 12, neighbor 3 houses up is at 9, neighbor one down from me is at 10. 4th...

Keep trapping!! Peanut butter works best. Our entire street had issues starting in September three of us set traps out. We have caught 20 between the three of us and the last month or so activity is zero and traps have stayed empty.

Lol my 2000 manual transmission Subaru had heated seats. My moms base model cloth seat Subaru has heated seats. LOL if heated seats are absurd luxury what does that make Icon suspension kits? The solid gold toilet equivalent? Jeeze ?

FYI the 3.5 has a cast aluminum pan as of mid/late 2019. I happen to have one.

Especially if your packing 6+ butts in it! Its one thing to lift trucks and drive solo or 2-3 people around. Its a whole different deal with 6 people. The stock burb with quality tires is pretty great all around rig. Lifted and full of bodies I have seen far to many on their lid between North...

Back to the Outback to truck jump. I had a J80 7 yrs and a 07 Sequoia 5 yrs while driving my Outback. The Outback got all the trips when the J80 was home. 11mpg and like 180 mile range in CA especially East side sucked soooo bad I only did that once with the J80. The Outback did many remote CA...

I have two kids. When they were younger after the rear facing seat space hog was done. The small trucks were high on my Outback replacement list. I’m in the Bay Area and have SF rentals so tight spaces were a big concern also. I ended up with an expedition! Yup!!! Honestly it can pull a u turn...

High volume manual pumps make short work of SUPs and other small inflatable craft. The high pressure pumps aren’t really high volume and as mentioned a pressure risk.

I replaced my Sequoia with a 2019 Expedition with the max tow package. Zero regrets proper 4lo setup, e rear locker, My Yosemite trip with 4x6 packed with 4 bikes racked on it (on the trailer) and camp gear we had a trip mpg average of 22mpg! No 4x6 trips I see between 22-24mpg if I keep it...

I built mine 9 years ago, just a battery in a 50cal ammo box bolted to my 4x6 trailer. 12ah little 12v battery it covers my lighting and small devices needs. I use no joke 2 10watt panels. Not everyone is trying to power a small house?

Trailer option gives you a gear garage ability with the truck bed. Which has big advantages.

I run Ring wireless solar powered at home one is 4 yrs old haven’t touched it since going up. Mounted in a bird house with $8 Amazon solar panel?. The new model hasn’t been as good gets lens fogging issues with temperature changes. The truck/rv rig needs something likely smaller and more...

Lol yeah having the 400hp Platinum, even that is bonkers. My little town is all 35mph small streets and I live 8 miles via 35mph from the Highway. These rigs are big so even though its fun to goose my SLK350 a bit around town I find I have no desire to goose the Expedition. Getting on the...
