I agree, I have used these "OLD" repairs for decades and have never had a problem. They actually solve an issue that the standard patch on the inside does not, and that is water intrusion through the hole through the tread. Patches with a tail that is pulled through the hole to seal work the...

I used a tarp that I spread over the bed. It prevented gravel from getting between the tailgate and the hinge. It also prevented gravel from getting between the OSB and the outer box area. BP

I recently carried about the same amount in gravel in my Mav. I have a thick rubber mat in the bed and made a three sided OSB protection for the edge of the box. I have a charger for my PowerStation that I did not want gravel in. Worked a charm. One thing I noticed was when I used the tow...

If the Lift is only an inch the effects should be limited. I'm not certain if the Tremor axles are a different part number or not. There seems to be a consensus on this board that they are different. Depends somewhat where the lift is installed. If it is on top of the strut, the body is...

With the current tariff structure and restrictions on rare metals, manufacturing EV's and Hybrids of all sorts is not economically possible in the US. EV's and hybrids sell like crazy up here in Canada. at least here in BC. I was in the UK last fall and there are a lot of EV's in Europe and...

"honestly, the rear window on the Lariat is tinted so dark to begin with that the dimming is hardly noticeable." I have found the same in my Lariat, the lights from directly behind are not much of an issue, however the lights in the side mirror are. Not sure what I can do about that? BP

Has anyone had trouble with the over pressure release venting the extinguisher during hot days? I ask for two reasons, one I had an extinguisher mounted externally on the bed rack last summer and it was empty when I looked at it awhile later, possibly from heat. The second was when I was tech...

A comment on towing speeds: For Commercial Trucking the rating for tires, brakes, hitches and things is 105 KM/h or about 65 MPH. Commercial trucks that tow at speeds here in BC of over 120 KM/h (78 mph) good luck stopping on the mountain roads, many have not. Driving that speed on retreaded...

I'm glad as well up here in Canada. My only complaint is that the tail lights are not on! If you do not have Auto then the headlights especially around town look to be on, but but you have no tail lights! Can not count the number of times I have noticed this. BP

Yeah, not sure why there are so many Grey's? Up here in the NorthWest grey cars disappear for over half of the year. Grey car, grey road, grey sky! That's why we have daytime running lights here as cars are difficult to see during winter and poor weather. Not sure Robin's Egg Blue is my...

Renting from U-Haul ca be a challenge. I tried to rent a car hauler to tow my 80 Mustang rolling chassis; no engine, no tranny with my Titan. The Titan was rated to tow 9800 lbs, but nooooo it was not enough. U-Haul seems to think you need a Kenworth to haul a Smart Car. Asked friend how he...

I'm a member of the Geezer Club now days! Do not know exactly how that happened but it appears that it did. Now my '25 Maverick Hybrid is just about perfect for me. Does everything I need it to do, does not do everything my previous 1/2 ton did, but I do not need those things. Recently used...

My long distance drive in my 25 Hybrid was the same. I drove about 21,000 Km or about 13,000 miles. Milage was similar and not a problem or complaint. BP

I have found that for me when driving long distances in a day, the best speed is around 100km/hour, just over 60 mph. When driving for 8 plus hours/day driving faster lowers my Mile/gal L/100km enough that I have to stop for fuel at least once more than at 100 Kph. The extra stop wipes out any...

I installed the Black Armour bed mat because it was the thickest I found, 1/2", and it is heavy. It performed perfectly on my cross Canada camping trip and recently I carried a full bed of gravel and the mat was perfect. It is so much easier on the knees than the spray in liner, I think this...

I know! It’s what my family calls a “Was gunna”. I have time, just have not done it yet. BP

The RTT I used was a Darche. It is an Australian brand I found here in Canada at a great price. RTT seem to all be made in China in only a few plants. The names change and the prices vary wildly for functionally the same product. So look around. BP

I bought Cooper Road and Trail AT tires this fall. I have been very pleased with them, however on the West Coast of BC here, the winter has been very mild. NO snow at all here in Chilliwack. So my tires have not seen much of a work out. The most serious was a trip to the local ski mountain...

Sounds like a fun trip. Have fun and enjoy. BP

I use Eco on the highway because of the less aggressive acceleration in Cruise Control. Much closer to how I drive myself. Does it save fuel? Very hard to say, probably a very small amount, difficult to measure. For most driving I can not tell the difference, only as I said when cruise control...
