    Sequoia Car Cover

    The good, fitted $ covers are worth it. I have one for the Tundra. Get mirror pockets which keep the cover from sliding around when putting it on. I think the Tundra’s was about $600.

    Outdoor parking problems, seals around windshield

    Get a cover with mirror pockets for the krap days. Roll it up from the front then the back, nice neat pile in the middle of the roof, toss in laundry basket with the front marked. To deploy put back on roof, roll it out, find the mirror pockets and done. The cover won’t stop all the rain...

    2019 tundra lug nuts?

    I got “brake checked” in my 15 with a 3K pound trailer. Can’t believe how well it stopped. Then he tried it again. Dummy. I have a dash cam now too.

    Need advice/help selling 1996 SR5 4Runner

    Mine has almost 300k (2001) and is dead reliable. There is someone out there who wants that. Most people don’t understand mileage is only a number. I can trash a vehicle at 35K if I want to. I wouldn’t take mine to a wedding but it has it’s place. Keep the price up there.

    2008 Tundra snow plowing

    The jerking is the outer tire of the turn skidding to try to catch up with the inner tire. 4 wheel drive locks up the front axle so the two wheels turn together but the outer tire has to travel more distance to catch up. Think running track at the olympics. It only happens on dry pavement or...

    Anyone tow a 200 on a trailer with a 200?

    You can rent or buy a landscape/ utility trailer rated at 7000 pounds, two axles. The mesh ramp of those trailers need a couple of 2x12’s to keep the wheels from stretching the mesh. When my kids were in college I rescued a few cars this way.

    Bought an 08 tundra, TPMS headache

    So seriously why do we need sensors in the first place? Check the tires and pressures regularly and have a nice day. Sensors don’t prevent anything they just tell you what happened. A sensor won’t prevent a blowout like when I hit a granite curb in my wife’s car but as the car swerved to...

    Bought an 08 tundra, TPMS headache

    I don’t even bother with electrical tape. Driving almost to NYC having a nice morning the light went on. Odd, the tires are warmer. I wouldn’t have freaked out if I wasn’t in the middle of five lanes of traffic and no shoulder approaching the bridge at 70 mph. Nothing happened but it’s a...
