    Get fancy & have a wheel shop drill out a 2nd hole in your wheel for a 2nd schrader valve, common for people with huge tires to do to air up quicker. Can't imagine a new hole would cost that much, maybe worth it for convenience sake. Like the setup nevertheless! :sawzall:

    If you want to get fancy, arb makes a similar thing but it replaces the tpms module inside the wheel. If this drives you crazy after awhile.

    I got a stiffy!

    Well, two of them, actually. Bed stiffeners from @At The Helm fab.

    These babies are going on tonight (after some rattlecan). Beefy and the bottle opener option is SIIIIICK.

    I can't find any leaks though...
    The oil started disappearing after the Toyota stealership changed my rear main seal. Idk what they could have done or why it's burning oil like that now???

    Have you brought it to their attention? That sounds like it's on them for faulty work.

    Never, EVER GOING BACK TO THAT PLACE!!! They've done some really bad work on my truck this far... They'll probably blame it on my computer again, just like they did after going through THREE transmissions.

    i'd say we can have a mod day and try to trouble shoot it, but Louisiana is a bit of a trek for me...

    is there a lot of road grime/grease/general black nastyness under your engine? if so, clean everything up REALLY well with a couple cans of brake cleaner (do this outside) and check back in a couple days to see if you can find oil trails

    by the way, my civic wasn't leaking anywhere i could find. i think it only came out while driving (with oil pressure built up). i hope you get it figured out!

    I had a box that took up most of the tailgate and the gate needed to be down for it to fit. I'm sure it was the load that helped with the mpg but some believe that tailgate down helps mpg

    Some people make art with menstrual blood, too.

    Tailgate down getting better MPG is proven to be untrue, it's physics. YouTube it.
