Wanting to do work on our vehicles is a 'dead give-away' that we're old. When I opened the hood of my ol' 58 Meteor (Canadian Ford), half my view was of the engine, and the other half was the driveway below, and EVERY key component was visible and accessible to remove and fix. I remember whining...
$50 sounds awfully expensive for an air filter, considering the materials used to make them. Is there something special about them that I'm not aware of?
Hope this is not too off-topic -in case anyone here hasn't heard of this: Put some windshield washer anti-freeze in a plastic spray bottle to help scraping ice off windshield and windows on freezing mornings.
I just swapped out my 'All Seasons' tires for 'All Weather's, and put one of the 'All Seasons' tires on a steel rim to act as a spare. It sits (chained) in the bed. I plan to make a box to cover it, and rig it so I can still carry 8-foot planks with the tailgate at 45 deg. Gonna look into your...

Gotta admit my '83 DATSUN pickup was my first taste of compact Japanese pickups. The reliability blew me away. Followed it up with two more Nissan pickups -a '94 and a 2010. Both gave me reliable service over the years. Hoping my '25 Lariat will renew my faith in 'Detroit Iron' (with a Spanish...
Not in 2027, for the following reasons: (a) I never buy until the platform has been around for a few years (b) I'm planning/hoping to get 10 years out of my 2025.
I also have a question: would that compact EV pick-up be body-on-frame or unibody? (After seeing posts with minor dings turning...
