how are you getting 28-31mpg in the RDX. Its rated at 20-28mpg. Hypermiling? I get 25-27mpg on highway road trips.
my wifes MDX SH-AWD gets about 19mpg mixed mainly because its actually 90% city.

Limited's are AWD and the AWD transfer case selection. There is no 2HI. Limiteds have nice amenities, but then again it's still falling short of other features other brands have and even toyota itself. Limited are the only one with push button start, tailgate window buttons, vented seats and a bunch of other crap.

All this T4R talk makes me want to buy yet another one............or my 3rd 5th gen........

 

who are those guys?
what are they doing to the buggy?
is it done yet?

 

Good info to know. I still hate the front ends

 

Is there something in the air that's making people want to buy new cars?? I was pondering heading over to Riverview to help see if the roommate could take advantage of some of those tax incentives and 0% financing and whatnot to ditch the Fiesta in favor of a Prius C.

She's going back to college to finish a degree in Electrical Engineering so that's probably not the wisest thing financially though. She's actually looking for some part time work at this point.

 

You talk about this female roomie a lot, and yet we don’t have pics, get to work.

 

The 31 she got one day was all highway, conservative driving.

 

@0uTkAsT, this looks like a great deal. Why do you need Microsoft office though? Waste of money. Use Google's office. Works the same for the most part but it's completely free.

 

My how time flies! What’s it been? 3 years his time?

 

I've seen her. She is real.

 

Yes, I originally had my 5100's on the lowest notch with 885 OME coils. In the rear I had Deaver AAL's, both of which broke last year.

In the rear the Dakars brought the back end up from 22" (hub to fender) to about 24.5.
Moving the snap ring on the Bilstein's from the 0 position to the .85" position brought the front up from 22" to 24".
To do this I did have to remove the springs from the Billy's and I used the floor jack technique:



Moving the snap ring was easy. To get to the snap ring, you just have to clean the shock housing with a wire brush and the perch will come off easy with a little persuasion. I used a cheap set of snap ring pliers from Harbor Freight to remove the snap rings, but you could probably do it without them if you were careful.

Overall I didn't realize how crappy of a ride I had until I got done with everything and drove around on the new setup. I'm loving the new ride quality!!!
Bring your truck up to Flag and we'll do it in my garage! The weather will be nicer for sure!

 

She'll probably get pissed at me because humid ass weather and glare on the range don't make for a very flattering photo shoot (nor does the loaner nascar brand earpro hahaha) but here's her shooting my sawed-down and ported Mosin-Nagant like a boss:

My gunsmith (guy who built my insane R700 rifle) dubbed it Thwompa Stompa and the name sort of stuck. It's designed to convert 7.62x54r directly to noise and has blown its front handguards apart from the muzzle blast a few times now.

Anyways I think there's also footage of her dousing me with the casings from an M249 (stood in the hot brass zone lol) and shooting a BAR somewhere...

If you showed up to any meets she's been to like 3 or 4 now and met about as many TW people as I have.
She was doing shots with @Techoma at the Riverview meetup, he can vouch for her.

 

Thanks man!
Shout out to @snowtank and @phx13 for helping get them to me. #notallheroswearcapes

 

I have seen her.

 

I’m not saying she doesn’t exist, I’m just saying pics hah.
