Jeep JL Wrangler Sky One Touch Squeak Fix
Переглядів 16 тис.4 роки тому
If that styrofoam type squeak is driving you nuts, here’s a fix that has lasted me over 3,000 miles so far! You’ll need: - t40 tire bit - blue thread lock - a silicone or graphite (or both) lubricant like WD40 Waterproof Silicone - about 10 minutes

Real World Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail Review
Переглядів 78 тис.4 роки тому
A 1400 mile review of the new Falken A/T Wildpeak Trail. This is the same tire used on the new Toyota Rav4 TRD. It's also really the only crossover/small SUV all terrain tire on the market. I give you my honest opinions and impressions here. You can also read more from Falken here: www.falkentire.com/tires/light-truck-suv-cuv-tires/wildpeak/t-trail-tire I purchased these tires from SimpleTire.c...
Drill, don't Dremmel! GoPro Hero5 "The Frame" Mic Mod - Test Pre and Post Mod
Переглядів 2497 років тому
Here is a video on how and will to drill out your GoPro Hero5 "The Frame" to increase sound quality. With this I got slightly less transferred "handling noise" through the frame and my voice didn't get cut out nearly as much. Drilling is much better than using a rotary tool as it won't wander on you or melt the plastic; drilling creates a much cleaner look.
How to Winterize Your Popup Camper
Переглядів 12 тис.7 років тому
This is a step-by-step guide as to how I complete my Forest River Rockwood 232 XR. I use antifreeze in a line in which I added a valve. However, even if you want to pump in antifreeze or air by hand, this will still apply to your winterization. I also go through how to winterize a cassette toilet as that is part of my popup. Your individual camper may be different, so please consult your owners...

    Thanks for the video. I live in the Colorado mountains. I’m Getting these put on my 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman all4 on Monday. 35” of snow over 5 days! Excited about new tires. Nervous about road noise and loss of mpg coming from pirelli centuro stock tires… which did fine with the M+S designation but not the 3peaks.

    I have a 2022 4xe with the sky one and after it went through this kind of carwash, water got down into the rails and for the next month every time I made a turn or braked hard, soapy water came out through where the sun visors are. I do NOT recommend taking a sky one through a carwash. I wash mine by hand with a pressure washer (under 2000 psi) for the muddier areas.

    How are you calculating the mpg loss? From the video it seems like you trust the Subaru computer readout? That would be a mistake. You really need to calculate at the pump. Subaru computer is totally inaccurate with the mpg numbers.

  • @CC_Marauder
    @CC_Marauder Рік тому

    TFS the truthful and significant mileage reduction. You just turned me 100% off these things just as I was getting pulled in. There is no way in this California day and (continuing) age in 06/2023 of $5/gln gas to lose upwards of 4mpg (70+ miles per tank). That is a serious added expense over time. Honesty is the best policy. ✌🏼
