Probably not for you. ;) I can't say the same. :)

I'd be cautious going too far without somebody checking over all the exterior wiring. When I found it in mine it was not limited to one location.

If you visit Grand Teton, they have little display trucks parked at some visitor overlooks. They have some history about the park and the animals to warm folks about the dangers. But the interesting part is the real examples of black bear paws and grizzly paws. You can pick them up and handle...

Here's the same little grizzly.

That mouse has friends. Did you check the rest of the wiring? Don't ask me how how I know.

Thanks. It still needs a lot of improvement, but I try.

My guess is, just like the return of the Maverick, you will never see them sell for the PR hyped price. But, to meet the needs you described, a plug in might do the job just fine while still providing the benefit of an ICE for when using on longer trips. The new Rav4 plug in is rated between...

I'm not too sure the timing of YouTube videos is very meaningful. Most of them aren't very current. But I will say that as we head towards fall the bears are all working hard at finding food sources to help fatten themselves up for hibernation. But you should always be alert any time you are in...

Oooo, Oooo, share a picture day?

Anybody know if Cooltears is still around? I know they stopped publishing a print edition previously. Their website seems to have no updates since last summer. This is usually the time of year they solicit photos for their calendar. I've entered and had some published in the past. The website...

The engine used in the 5th gen hybrid system of the Rav4 and Camry (the A25A-FXS) is exactly the same engine Toyota has been using for the last 8-9 years in both of those vehicles. It's track record is very solid. And the 5th gen hybrid system, while new to the Rav4 for 2026 was installed in...
