Northern Virginia Roll Call

So my brother just bought a 22 trd sport with adaptive cruise control. He wants to lift it. Anyone know if thats still an issue? I remember reading somewhere on here that a lift kit would freak the computer out.

 

As far as I know it can still cause issues with the adaptive cruise control. He can try and get it recalibrated at the dealer but with mixed success. Same with changing grilles. It’s part of why I’m leaving my tundra untouched in that regard.

 

No issues with my ACC after lifting the truck

 

That stock tundra, that only has a couple dozen mods?

 

Yeah that’s the one, only $5k in aftermarket parts already, nothing too crazy.

 

No longer looking. Will be putting 5x 35s up for sale in July. Anyone interested now? Super cheap!

 

I don't know if I even have $5k in offroad mods on my off road car lol

 

in other news, I also bought a thing. I like things with wheels on them. Apparently the most popular things in Peoria are Caterpillar, Disc Golf, and Mountain biking, so we're checking all the boxes there

 

I’ve gotten into biking lately too. Got a bike ~2 weeks ago and have ridden basically every day since then.

 

Which Specialized bike is that? Looks similar to the Fuse I have but with normal size tires.

 

Thats so much fun! I saw some pics on the fb and your family looks very cute and happy. makes me want to grow up faster haha.

I was riding a older steel framed road bike on a path through a few towns they have here. Recently snagged the mtb to get on some off road trails here, and with the aluminum frame its easily waaaayyy lighter. really cool to see how that kind of technology that we don't normally think about has progressed

Its a specialized rockhopper comp 29. I think the fuse is a bit fancier. do you have big ol tires on yours?

picked her up on the "bought during covid, realized they hated the outdoors" special for a steal, so I'm excited.

 

Adaptive cruise works great on my 2018 with 2" lift and the dealer hasn't touched it. It has no problem identifying the vehicle ahead and staying the appropriate distance behind it during cruise control (there are 3 settings further, closer and closest.)

 

That's funny, I remember during Covid the used bike market took off before everyone realized they hated the outdoors. I bought a Rockhopper after I graduated college, the technology nowadays is night and day different. The Fuse has the mid-fatty tires and is a hardtail like yours. Good for climbing and the tires soak up the bumps but still handle great.

 

Mine works fine, I just don't use it. And holding the cruise button down for 3 seconds bypasses the adaptive portion.

 

At the eyeball Dr….. can’t see doing this shit anymore. Ha ha

 

My doctor has yet to laugh at that joke. I don't know why.

 

Rite rite. I like to say it a work to see the dumbfounded look from supervision.

 

My doctor back in MI suggested I should loose some weight. I told him I'd been followhis advise which led to the weight gain in the first place. He looked puzzled. "You said to watch my weight, so I got it out where I could see it." He wasn't amused.

 

I use mine pretty regularly on I-81, except when those damn trucks are cutting me off. As far as I can tell it works the same both pre- and post-lift. I honestly never considered the lift might affect it, but I can understand the concern.
