    my fuel gauge works when the car is on. it shows me when my gas is getting less amd less or when i fell it up but when i turn the car off the fuel gauge stays in the same place. is this normal? my 2017 rav4 doesn’t do that. maybe it’s how old cars are…

    Very normal, only the very late 3rd gens had a gas gauge that didn't do this afaik. If you have a pre-99 model the gas gauge behaves even more strangely

    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    Bad enough on the 99s, believe me!
