Yes, reliability is not their strong suit. Frankly, the proper Toyota Land Cruiser (now only available in Lexus LX form) is the vehicle I would choose if I needed to drive from the arctic to the tip of South America, with plenty of off road journeys along the way.

It’s more to prevent people from putting the chains on the front and then oversteering themselves off a cliff.

35 is where the maximum weight rating is achieved. Tire can be inflated up to 10psi above that.

Except Land Rovers ride better than Broncos ever will.

I’m thinking the same thing - looks like similar residue is elsewhere in the photo, but for some reason those bolts are really collecting it rather well.

Absolutely. I’ve seen them eyeballing every vehicle that goes past them at the chain control point.

Just one set of chains is fine.

What a load of nonsense. Some of us remember what CA air used to be like. First time going to LA in the early 80s resulted in nosebleeds due to how poor the air was compared to other parts of the state. Hitting up the area around Ontario in the early 90s triggered migraines due to the fact...

A lot of people don’t realize how bad the air in in the Central Valley of CA - the combination of diesel from farming, the dry air, and the mountains creates an area where you get none of the enjoyable bits of living in CA. The LA basin is also just bad in terms of how the mountains help trap...

Always carry chains/cables in CA if you are going to the mountains. And don’t be that guy that has to pay to get them put on. I remember people paying something stupid - like $40-$50 around 15 years ago. I got it down to a 45 second job when I was routinely hitting Tahoe.

CA isn’t particularly well suited for the number of people that live there. While $5 a gallon or more isn’t pleasant, nobody with half a brain wants to go back to how bad the pollution was in the 90s, or earlier. CA’s blend of fuel is a component of improving air quality - it’s basically the...

This is why people tune to A=432hz

They’d probably deny it anyways.

So how long is it going to take for the dealer to send your tailgate to a body shop for a repaint?

I keep seeing people complaining about 39 PSI… It’s really not that bad. I tend to run that cold, and I’m routinely driving washboard surfaces that create enough vibration to sound like I’m listening to one of those CDs from the 90s that people used to show off how much bass their system could...

Northern CA doesn’t have potholes. At least compared to most other parts of the country. When I lived in the Midwest, I would have loved to have the worst California road over what we had by the time spring was over.

39 is what Sasquatch door sticker says. The tires say max 35psi, but can also be inflated up to either 5 or 10 PSI above that per Goodyear - but the additional PSI doesn’t increase their load rating. Go by the door sticker unless doing something like switching a vehicle from P-metric to LT...

Except that you aren’t traveling at a speed where the rotor size makes a difference.

And if you are trying to back up the hill, all the weight is on the downhill side, so your rear has decreased traction, meaning you have more push than pull. Backing down the hill, you don’t have to overcome the force of gravity - you just need to mitigate it a bit through your brakes. Rotor...

Except it isn’t. Gravity helps you backing up downhill. Gravity works against you if you are backing up a hill.
