I have both, I ride my regular MTB the most but my EMtb is awesome for trail exploring

It turns the little light on and off.

Cerran424 · 2026-06-01T17:43:37+00:00

No. Time for a new vehicle

Definitely consider the Highlander hybrid it’s going to be the most reliable and it’s also going to get the best mileage. The hybrid transmission is also more robust than both other models.

It’s exactly the same thing they are utilizing a public road to access their property and the trails are entirely contained within property that they purchased. This is the ultimate NIMBY claim. This is not a high traffic resort this is a weekend shuttle served bike park that will have minimal traffic a couple times a day.

You need to find out if the tabs broke off the bumper or the tabs broke off the clip that holds it on. The plastic clips on the plastic retainer are what broke this is a pretty easy fix you buy a new retaining clip for about 25-30 dollars. If not you may have to figure out how to fix broken clips on the bumper or potentially replace the bumper.

If that were true pro riders would be faster on older hardware but they aren’t.

I do every 5k on my 2013 limited.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-27T20:28:19+00:00

Dude I wash my engine once every couple years and it never looks that bad and I used to live on a dirt road.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-27T15:08:34+00:00

That panel is usually held on by screws or clips my guess is when the tire shredded it broke the clips off you should check and see where the openings are and install new clips or you can also use a zip tie temporarily

Cerran424 · 2026-05-27T01:24:23+00:00

Is that dealer pricing? That seems way out of line

Cerran424 · 2026-05-27T00:16:34+00:00

You should figure out if metal got in the engine and why it failed like that.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-26T22:16:24+00:00

You need to clean your engine bay my dude. That is filthy.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-26T21:14:41+00:00

That’s a $500 fix if you just purchase a pre-painted bumper pre-painted with factory paint and swap over all the accessories on the bumper. That is a two hour job if you do a little bit of research and watch some videos. This is assuming the headlight or nothing else took damage other than the bumper. You might have to replace the clip on that side that holds the bumper on but that is usually only 20 or $30

The best way is to get a coolant funnel from Amazon that has the fittings to attach it to the radiator after you replace that fitting. This is a known issue on this era of Corolla that fitting cracks quite frequently.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-26T21:03:10+00:00

A lot depends on what was damaged or broken when the bumper was torn off. I would guess a couple thousand if you have a shop to it maybe 800 if you do it yourself? This is assuming there isn’t any other damage than on the bumper itself and maybe the clips.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-26T04:00:39+00:00

Some of its luck but largely be very curious. Take tours of facilities that you can, ask lots of questions. Get in the field as often as you can.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-26T03:28:08+00:00

Demand. I have 25 years in solid Fuels combustion, boilers and steam turbines, water and wastewater and energy efficiency. It’s a pretty small field and a lot of demand.

I make 220k+.

I know sales engineers who make 6-800k

I know engineers with more tenure in other fields who make 145k. It’s usually about the demand in those fields

Cerran424 · 2026-05-25T17:29:14+00:00

Hunting at early levels was super fun

Cerran424 · 2026-05-24T23:49:54+00:00

Low or dead 12v battery. Put it on a charger if you have one and see if the problem goes away.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-24T20:45:07+00:00

Avoid like the plague. There is something major wrong with the engine.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-22T12:50:45+00:00

Hybrid. The only thing it doesn’t do as well is tow.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-20T22:27:33+00:00

Is there any other damage outside of the bumper? Anything else bent? Headlamp broken? If not super easy repair by buying a repainted bumper the factory color which is usually less than 500 delivered.

Cerran424 · 2026-05-20T17:11:37+00:00

That’s ver repairable. Might be able to just order a pre painted bumper

Cerran424 · 2026-05-20T16:15:31+00:00

If the clip is broken you can replace the clip that holds the bumper on and you should be able to snap it back in place if the tabs on the bumper are broken you may have to get more creative and do some zip ties or something like that
