    IDK man, for that price, I'd try to find a previous body style RAV4 and save some cash. My sister has one and romps all over VA with it, and hasn't had a peep maintenance wise. Anything VW/Audi badged can't really say the same.

    I keep hoping these will come back. Looking just like this. With t-tops. I can still remember being very young and hanging out in one at the local VW/Subaru dealer. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, I couldn't talk my dad into one. He ended up with a Rabbit diesel instead.

    Knowing this I may actually pull the trigger on one of those Breezer windows for the Silverado. And this is all for the dog to hang her head out.

    It could be a smash hit! One article on Expedition Portal and they'd fill their order book.

    Not even sure if these will ever even come to market. They've been around for a few years now with only a single physical concept car and no answers for any journalists.

    I've been waiting for the Ace from them for years, and not a shred of anything in sight. For a guy who lives in Boston and works in software...it's kind of the perfect daily for me. More quirky than a Tesla, cheaper and sportier than a Rivian.

    Work won't even let me load the site. The crap they block mystifies me sometimes. Maybe if the Maverick is a big sell (as it should be) more little trucks like this will be forthcoming.

    I installed a module on the tundra to make all windows auto up/down and also control them with the fob. Install was a pain in the dick because I had to route a single wire from the door, into the cab then up to the battery. Other than that though, very pleased with it. I did my best to keep the wiring all clean and look somewhat factory.

    I love the minimalistic design. It's perfectly retromodern. I want the Wolf for a daily commuter just back and forth to work. It looks fun to drive. Wonder how the head room is though. I am 6'4"....

    My work is the same. They blocked JD Fab as 'high risk' and I disputed it, they unblocked it, then reblocked it again.... They also blocked MESO JDM's site.

    I want that in my tacoma....

    Thats wild....I work for one of the FAANG companies and i'm 99% sure not even Pornhub is blocked, i've NEVER seen a block on my work computer in 2 years, which i'm typing this now on, i use my work laptop for damn near everything.


    Also i'm 5'11", but with only 29" legs, so I sit in cars like i'm 6 4, it freaks people out. So i totally get the height thing. I wanted a Miata so bad for years so I could turbo it, and never could fit.

    Edit: My //M cars all had the '1 touch' window features and it LOVED IT. I miss that a lot since I moved away from BMW's.

    Edit Edit: 2 Friends just sold their Model Y's for Mavericks, which I thought was a strange move until I drove my buddies Cactus colored FX4, which was honestly phenomenal.

    All these sites are blocked because of the nature of my work.... Supposedly.

    In the first gen Miata the top of my head was over the windshield header. None for me.

    My VW windows and sunroof were controllable from the fob. If you had the software to turn it on. I'm commuting in a vehicle with manual windows right now so I just want power!

    Finally had enough energy and took advantage of a bonus day off with nice weather to replace my spark plugs. I honestly can't remember when they were done last, but it was at least 60k, if not 90k+ miles ago. Needless to say, they were bad. They were all gapped at least .060 and over. Spec is .039-.044... but based on my novice spark plug reading abilities, I didn't see any signs of trouble when I gave them a once over after removal.

    Pic is as if you were standing in front of the truck looking at the motor.

    I might be crazy, but I drove the truck a little last night to take the family to see Halloween decorations. It feels like it accelerates much easier and felt much more peppy, if that makes sense.

    May be placebo but maybe not! I’m sure your truck was thankful.

    Got an email from Magnusson the other day. Seems they produce a supercharger kit for the Tundra. Impressive numbers. You need.
