Congratulations on an outstanding bargain! I too would have preferred the high-level but at $5k more, couldn't justify the additional bells & whistles. An XLT with lux package would have offered more value - BUT I'd lose the nice appearance and driving dynamics I get with the Lobo. So you and...
And it so it happened that this Hyundai video was the deciding factor. I was aware of previous Kia recalls where the engines were being replaced and at the same time, a friend's new/used Kia Soul's issues became a warranty engine replacement as well.
Interesting of sorts. This vehicle was initially what caught my idea to having a smaller truck. I'd once owned a used 2002 Frontier - and really liked it. While smaller than the typical full-sized options, it came in handy but if used as a daily driver, could still be a little cumbersome...
I had them as a factory option on my Subaru and they were well worth it! Not only were they auto-dimming, but heated and had courtesy light that would turn on as you approached vehicle and stayed on for about 30 seconds (or whatever you wanted to control the duration) after you left the vehicle...
I've yet to receive any messages on my vehicles regarding software updates. One is sure to happen in the future. How did you discover this message? Was it in the app? On vehicle's screen? Was it shown you automatically? Thanks
Hmmm - I DO have an extra in my shed; looks like I better make sure it fits my wheels and add it to my the vehicle. Alternatively, I could buy a 2' breaker bar with dedicated deep (impact quality) socket and set that aside as well. Thanks for posting the obvious!
Thanks for starting the thread; interesting selection of tools and I suspect the choices are personal to one's lifestyle and routine driving conditions/environment. Much of what I carry is standard fare: hammer, multibit screwdrivers, assorted box/open end wrenches (SAE & metric), pliers...
You asked for it - you got it! Below are 4 pics, start to finish.
I'd just parked and turned off the vehicle.
Gently lifting.
Once wiper arm cleared hood, able to lift blade off.
My finger is pointing to the arm's original parked position; shown for reference as to distance.
I had one of these combination locking covers which is a good idea. I'd prefer a keyed option, though as my aging eyes had trouble viewing the numbers.
When initially discovering I couldn't just lift the blade off the windshield, I'd figured that hitting the quick pass wipe and immediately shutting off the vehicle would be the workaround, as stated initially in my post. It was during the snow cleaning process as I put my hand below the...
