I have a 24 2.3 (4 cylinder manual) and my last oil sample tested real good excepting the viscosity was a bit thin even though there was relatively low (given the miles on the oil) fuel dilution. The Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 I am using apparently is closer to 5w-25 in reality. Next oil...

Despite the deserved goodwill for past efforts, Toyota's latest is not reviewing well: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a64379558/2025-toyota-4runner-trailhunter-hybrid-test/ It's pretty blatant that the hybrid powertrain adds too much weight (and takes up space) for its quite limited...

After getting my windshield replaced (hey, it lasted 4.5 months!! ;) ) I have a few scratches where the installer was less than careful around the frame. My touch up in the past has been mediocre at best, so looking for some good YT video's or whatnot that can help me improve my technique...

It does seem to be the most capable off road version of the Ford Escape: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a64408410/2025-ford-bronco-sport-sasquatch-drive/ "...The Badlands Sasquatch has additional suspension components including Bilstein rear dampers and front and rear springs that...

Taking the family for a few days of easy/moderate trails between attending Off-Roadeo on March 14th. I suppose this trip starts out with this story: As of today March 10th I have 4200 miles on my oil so I decide to do an oil change before I leave as the trip will be at least 1300 more miles...

Whole family is going with me to Moab next week where I will be doing off-rodeo and wheeling with the family for a few days. My wife is afraid of heights, so shelf roads are out - she has made this very clear to me ;) ... In addition, she had a surgery a few months back so I don't want her out...

So I have a Moab Off-Roadeo reservation this coming mid-March. After watching various videos (from the 'semi-professional' YouTubers we all know, to individuals posting here) I have realized the instruction will be basic/known for me. I already regularly do level 5 ish trails on my own, will do...

Ford OEM 'Removable Hoop Step(s)', a $395 line item on my sticker and currently at Ford Accessories for an obscene $1,150. Factory installed on my 24 Big Bend I picked up in November, I had them on for 3900 miles before I replaced them with OEM Rock Rail(s). Brackets and hardware included...

This morning I noticed the oil pressure (using ProCal oil pressure gauge) rises and falls based on throttle position and not rpm. I assume the oil pump for the 2.3L is electric, or perhaps a phased chain (I have seen it mentioned in some threads that it is chain driven) that the computer...

About 6 weeks ago an acquaintance let me drive his 2023 Sasquatched Badlands, just on the road. Fond memories of a jeep I drove for 3 months in high school (before I totaled it) came flooding back. So I hatched a plan to make a purchase sooner rather than later, found this forum, and been...
