What exactly is " Top Tier" gas?? Don't they all have to meet the same standards I've used WaWa here in E.Pa for years in every vehicle Boats , ATV' Motorcycles, Garden tractor, Snow thrower ( rare because love plowing W/ATV) & have never had Any fuel issues. I know there only several refineries in the USA that they buy their fuel from. FAA fuel standards are ATA 103 & World Wide JIG 1 & 2.

I had to look it up, it’s $19.99 for a 30-pack.

 

Rotated tires. Had nothing better to do today. Oh, gas is around $2.59 here in North AL.

 

Same here. I buy the cheapest gas I can find and never have any issues.

 

I've been using JP-7 fuel exclusively in my 4Runner.

 

$2.60 here in the greater Charlotte area.

 

It’s $2.85 in NYC which is apparently one of the most expensive areas in the US.

 

Gave a wash after a long time (My excuse, cold weather)

 

Actually I think congrats are in order?…

 

you can buy that bumper here. https://truenorthfabrications.com/c...-24-5th-gen-4runner-hybrid-rear-bumper-welded

 

With the arrival of winter, the missus went in search of the steering wheel heater switch on our 2024 Pro. Turns out that her height and steering wheel angle combined to make it invisible.
Once I showed her where it is, she was very pleased.
Today's plan is to take advantage of some above-zero temperatures to give it a wash, the dry it with the leaf blower.

 

One cold day a week or two ago I went fumbling for the steering wheel heater switch... accidentally poked the start/stop button. EEK!

Thankfully, nothing bad happened, but I surely got a panel full of warnings for a moment!

 

That was my yday. LOL.

 

The Shell station not far from me was $2.93 yesterday. Seems to be rather high for the area, yet cheaper than the city I work in (RI). I find the prices really depend on the area. You'll get robbed at any gas station on or next to a highway. Seems I have far cheaper options around me though.

 

I almost did that yesterday while driving down the mountain. Needless to say, glad I didn’t press the button but I was very close.

I’m now wondering if I can move that switch to the left side. Or look for a flip cover that I can install over the start/stop button.

 

I believe you drive a lot of miles. I don’t believe you have done it on the same set of tires. Also cracks and dry rot are from age not miles.

 

I like this idea.

 

Installed the ROF logo plate. Then went out for some groceries.

 

Do you have a picture of how much the tire blocks the back window? And what size tire is on it? I'd appreciate a side shot too if you have it.

I just bought one since they were on sale - gonna replace my SSO hitch mounted solution (will be on sale here for heavy discount in a couple of months when my relentless arrives)

 

Nothing too crazy today, house chores and now a little time to work on the SSC1 harness…

 

I did the same thing on Thanksgiving driving back from my daughter's house. I image it might be a common thing for folks to do - at least once.

 

I’ll get one from the inside tomorrow. It’s really not that bad. I hardly ever use the rear view mirror, just the sides. Tire is a 35x12.50r17.

 

Thanks! Confirms my expectations and fears. Sits nice and close to the hatch, which I like, but sits high and blocks more of the back window.

I assume the tire height is fixed? I'll be running a smaller tire but don't think it'll make that much of a difference. I use my rearview a lot but may have to rely on the anytime rear once this is in place

 

Look into getting a wolfbox. I just installed one and it works great.

 

spent a couple days in Estes Park, CO

 

back in the lab

 

installed some new splash guards... while bitching about the company that did my suspension rebuild - they not only didn't see a problem and kept the rusty lines, but also didn't bother to replace these guards - simply threw the remains away and considered it job done.
