Sweeney, you need to find out where west is on your compass. You are missing out on a whole 'nother world. ;-)

Gelato - Elmer's glue with some flavoring mixed in. Ugh!

I've been to many Buffet concerts in the past. They were enjoyable but more for the parties/shows in the parking lot than his actual "show". People really went nuts with props and craziness. OTOH, his shows were bland and boring. Close your eyes and you couldn't tell the show from a CD. Don't...

garsshopper, you sound like the perfect guy to step in for Cosmo. Get yourself a selfie stick and a gopro to add to your phone and you're in business. Somebody needs to follow in his footsteps. :-)

I’ll admit than when I planned my route I was not aware it was a pass. As I started up, it certainly got my attention. Didn’t know just how long the climb lasted but decided that slow and steady was the best approach. I didn’t care how many trucks passed me. LoL! I continued on to the Hayspur...

I saw that video when it first came out. (As an aside, I think Alex makes the best vehicle reviews on youtube. If you are looking for a new vehicle, Alex is a must see channel.) My Rav4 has a 1750 limit. I know my 560 is probably pushing 1500 which is still pretty close to the limit. But I...

Mine's a 2017 and the battery is on the driver side. After you get under the panel below the liner there's a plastic "roof" over the 12V. It has little pry holes where you can pry up the cover over the battery to access the poles and connect any cables. My understanding (subject to being...

Well, I'll be. I'm not sure I've lifted the hood since I bought the car. LoL! I have been in the rear compartment trying to understand the best ways to get at the battery. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to take a look, or worse yet, may have to finally RTFM. :D

I’m thinking of intentionally using a sogen to test it and see how much I run down the sogen for just how much topping off I get.

For those who want to know, this is what I finally went with... https://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-85P-Portable-Air-Compressor/dp/B0036E9VB6? I debated getting this one with the cigarette plug or the one with the battery connectors. The other one had longer cables which I really preferred, but would...

You’re welcome! :)

I see you found your way over Derek. Welcome..from Ralph. ;)

I've seen the package deals and may consider something like that. I don't have a battery tool system and that's what makes me wonder if I should go down that road. But they do look like a good system. No need for a mattress one, just auto. I'll look into the lower versions of the Viair...

I noticed the battery operated ones do seem to have their own ecosystem. Not sure I'd add much to it but they do seem very convenient which is something I value more the older I get. ;-)

Well, I'm at the age where I'll gladly pay more to avoid any manual pumps. I barely tolerate them on bicycles and ride with CO2 cartridges to fix flats. Not to mention I can't even see/read a gauge located near the ground. LoL!

I think your usage it close to what I have in mind. Now and then it's good to check your car pressures, especially before a trip. Same with the 560. Gas stations are getting more unreliable for having available air and it just seems like it would be easier to just have something in the garage...

I definitely have experience with bike pumps over the years, but only on bikes. Way too much work to hand pump car tires, not to mention getting accurate enough readings without constantly stopping to put a real gauge on the tire.

Well, based on my experiences with air mattresses, I was thinking it would be easier and more convenient than always needing to reach the 12v plug in the car/trailer. :D But you make a good point, it doesn't have to be. Guess I'll add that to the list of options. Thanks Seth!

Looking for advice on what to buy. I want something I can use at home (or maybe even on the road) that will allow me to top off the air in my car tires as well as the 560. There seem to be multiple types on the market and I'm wondering what others use or recommend or recommend to avoid. My...
