To be honest major repairs (and lack of qualified people to perform them) is the reason I’m somewhat considering (although I probably won’t) getting rid of my 200. I’ve done all My PM for the last 6 years, since it was out of warranty that is. But 11 years old and 120k miles if something major...
if you do not regularly tow a heavy camper p metric all the way.
I run C load tires as my summer tires as most of my non off road miles are pulling a 7k lb camper, with the LX loaded up as well. I run heavy.
In the winter I run p metric studded hakka’s. We are considering selling the camper...
So I changed my plugs this past weekend (‘13 LX, 120k miles). It took me 2.5 hrs, most of that time on the passenger side posterior plug. I used OEM denso, I think the key is to have at least 4 or 5 different length socket extensions and a socket wrench with a rotating head. I removed the air...
I also vote for ceramic. Going on 6 years with ceramic Pro on my Tesla.
I also agree with no dealer service. I had the dealer service my LX until it went out of warranty. They stripped out my oil pan and front diff drain plug, broke my recirc door, and 2 TPMS. I’ve done all my own seevice...
Probably another 6-8 weeks before the snow is gone enough to ride the MTB. Getting it ready. 10 years with the Process and now fully rebuilt now with the pivot bearings swapped out.
Looks like there was rodent damage at some point. It could be coincidental. It is the same spot as this mystery box for the mystery box could’ve been put in as a result of the damage.
There are currently 34 squares on cars.com. I think almost half of what were brought into the US 😁
Most have <100 miles on them, even the 2022’s.
I’ve driven one, it was comical on road. The thing was massive. That said in a theoretical world (one where my wife wouldn’t have me committed)...
Do this. If you don’t need the weight rating of the LT go back to a p-metric tire. The defenders are better than K02s for pretty much everything (rain, snow, on road, sand, ride quality,…).
I run LT tires (currently on C load) in the summer (most of my miles are towing a 7k camper) and p...
I did my fluid again today (for the 3rd time) at 120k miles. It wasn’t as brown as I remember the last two times.
I did have an issue, the bolt that holds the access door was rusted to the nut that was inside the compartment. To get the door off I broke the plastic frame that held the nut. I...
These towers. As for bar width, it depends on how big the canoes are. I have 66” and carry one canoe, I’d like to upgrade to 78”.

I’m all for EVs. Going on 9 years with 2 teslas. On road and around town yes the CT outperforms the 200, 250, 300 on every metric. But that is where it ends.
I drove a CT this week. It drives like a big heavy sports car, Suspension sucks, steering is super odd for a truck (almost like a...
I also do the 5 tire rotation.
In terms of dropping the spare I think that is way easier then jacking up to where there are 2 wheels off the ground.
In terms of tire replacement. With the 5 tire your spare always is a similar tread depth. I needed a tire a few years back. I moved the spare...
If I didn’t tow a >7k camper I’d likely own a GX instead of my LX. They feel “sportier” and more agile and the cost difference is massive.
I always put it into a cost perspective. A LX is a GX+ a new enduro MTB+a 2nd 3 gun set up+a new fly rod and waders.
I had a GX loaner for 3-4 months...
