    How is the condition of the paint? Any fading issues?

    Check out Taco Garage, they have a kit that may address this. I'm running there DMM , with multiple mounts, and love it. Also, great customer support!

    Paint under is perfect. Hard to tell if it faded with white.

    I wish I would have gotten them a long time ago. Sooo much more coverage than the oem mats.

    Not so. I've used synthetics exclusively since 1979. No problems getting it. No problems using it.

    Made a 3d print mount for a switch pro. Decided to go with this as I wanted to keep the sunglasses holder. It does block the SOS but to slightly, but I don’t have a subscription anyway.

    Took multiple iterations to find a solution I liked. Printed out of PAHT-CF as a final.

    Finally got the hood lift struts and installed them.

    I tried to change the engine oil but I can't get the filter off ! I'm not a weakling and used a 24" breaker bar....
    Gave up and schedualled oil change at dealer. I've only had it for a thousand miles and it's a dealer who tightened it too much. I've also had to remove half a cup of brake fluid and cut off the previous person's trailer hitch lock.
    Also had to use the big breaker bar to get the r. diff. fill plug off.

    Did you use a Motivx tool with a breaker bar? That tool should hold onto the the filter housing at at strongest point, then breakerbar in small increments.

    Yes. The standard cup like tool I already had several of to use on my RAV4 and Lexus RX 350. I used a socket on the socket part of the tool.

    Kenwood DNR1007XR it's pretty awesome. If you look into it and don't need standalone Navigation you can save some money by going for the DMX1057XR

    As you mentioned, It was probably the dealer who tightened the filter housing too tight - they will do it again. They cannot help themselves. Please don't let the dealer change your oil, you can do it, give it another shot another day. IMHO. Sometimes, laying on your back, under truck, feet toward rear head toward the engine, and find a place to put your feet & toes up into the undercarriage so that you can get some cranking strength on that 24" breaker bar, you should be able to loosen it. Like @RichochetRabbit said, get a good tool and make sure it is seated square before bearing down on it. Good Luck.

    Thanks for the encouragement but I've done that. Braced myself and used my leg on the bar. Pretty much ruined the 3/8" square hole on the cup before I started on the socket.

    Cup doesn't go on very far. It was popping off, losing paint.....

    It's ok. They have the best price on the winter tires I want by a couple hundred bucks.

    Edit to add... this isn't the dealer I got it from.

    Motivx goes on far enough that any tiny amount of oil makes a suction that is annoying. I sometimes have to hammer the Motivx lightly to unseal the vacuum (on the Motivx tool, that is, not the vacuum in my head).
