    Giving it a full tune-up. Started running pretty bad today. It's getting new plugs, new fuel filter, dumping the old oil out and getting some amsoil in, and some heet in the tank. It's a extremely low hour 2004, the plugs were still original lol

    Re bumper - I understand it’ll never be perfect, I’m probably still going to run this one. Just odd they’d put matching body lines and they are this far off. First bumper I tried to buy was for another vehicle. This one doesn’t line up. Just feels like there’s always one thing no matter how hard you try it always fails and my thing seems to be bumpers.

    Re concrete - yeah I know water won’t run off perfectly flat. My garage and driveway slabs have failed to the point they are becoming gravel again. That’s all I mean.

    And yes CrVs are boring and reliable. I’m definitely bored of it already lol.

    A rock bashing the corner of the bumper is a good thing. Its an indicator as to where you are on an obstacle. Poor man's camera.

    I’ve been thinking about running curb feelers, since I don’t have steel bumbers

    @WiscoPat if these words don’t send a chill down your spine, not sure what will.

    I consider myself lucky as I have a concrete slab that is broken up into pieces that are still relatively large, but it definitely is trying to return to gravel in areas. Is it possible to skim coat these sections with something that will have some relatively good life? Any product recommendations?

    I'm thankful for the garage and concrete I put in, don't get me wrong (i kick myself daily for not going bigger). But, a dedicated home shop/gymn combo would be killer to have, not just for myself but also others.

    At that time I was on the 75, 90 and 115 hp line. The 75 and 90 were also a 3 cylinder engine.
