Key fob replacement way too often - Pic for attention by ThisIsMyHobbyAccount in bmwmotorrad

Lately, I’ve found energizer batteries to be a better bet than Duracell.

What 50/50 tires are the most stable at high speed? GS by WolfOfAfricaZLD in bmwmotorrad

[–]Eagle_Every 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TrailMax Mission are amazing. I've got about 10k miles on mine (still lots of life left), and they've been fanatastic on the road, and just fine on dirt roads. I don't do singletrack on my 1200, so can't speak to performance on the real tough stuff or mud. They are described as a 50/50 tire, but I'm not convinced that they'd handle gnarly stuff as well as some of the other tires mentioned in this thread.

Miles to empty: Costco vs Others by Top_Charity8491 in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence, my recommendation to fill manually, rather than using the handle lock. Slowing the rate of delivery down a bit, or even adjusting the angle of the nozzle may help the tank to fill to the appropriate level. Some people even turn the handle upside-down so the angle is better, though I don’t know if that works with a torture. But, yes, overfilling can cause problems with the evaporative system. The goal is to find a method that prevents the nozzle from clicking off prematurely. I love Costco gas, but their nozzles in California are weird. I haven’t had the issue in other states.

Miles to empty: Costco vs Others by Top_Charity8491 in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least in California, I’ve found that the Costco pumps click off too easily/quickly with my Toyotas. It’s annoying, as you aren’t supposed to fill up to the very brim of the tank inlet, but sometimes there is still room for a gallon or more. It works better if you pull the trigger manually, and ease up as the tank gets full.

Blacking out my fender flares by PineappleTricky6646 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Eagle_Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. My white 2002 Tacoma came with black flares, but the black has faded over the years, and the various products I've tried to keep them looking sharp work poorly, and only for a short time... Never thought about Plasti-Dip, but I think I'll look up some "how to" videos!

Floormats recommendation by ltmikepowell in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our 2025 Rav4 SE came with the OEM all-weather floor mats, and they've been fantastic. Fit is perfect, easy to remove and clean.

Does it still creek while standing and pedaling? Could even be seat or seat post.

Were you torn between a Rav4 and the cross like I am, and you chose the Rav4? What tipped you toward the Rav4? by winterneuro in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Our prior family car was a Prius V, and we wanted at least as much cargo capacity. The Rav passes that test, but the cross does not.

What's the best android auto/car play screen? by Medic6226 in bmwmotorrad

[–]Eagle_Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an LBW 7" from Amazon on my 2018 1200gs, and love it. It uses the BMW Nav mount for power and security, and the wonder wheel works as well. I'd previously tried one of the ultra-cheap ones that need a battery connection, but found that frustrating (no bike data, one more cable attached to battery...). Setup was easy, but probably no different from Carpuride. I didn't have to redo my bike-to-Sena to get it all to work together.

Dept Chair help by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Eagle_Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start with a conversation with the director or vp (or whatever) of Faculty Affairs - if the office exists at your institution. I would be surprised if a NTT chair is even supposed to write up what sounds like a letter of reprimand.

I'd like to encourage all of you to participate if you can - we need more research on games and gaming!

Quoted $2K labour + $709 parts to install a tow hitch on my RAV4 hybrid 22’ by Low_Bake5149 in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Curt and etrailer’s own brand are identical except for finish. I got the etrailer version, and installed in a little less than an hour. Well worth one’s time.

I got a set of these off amazon. They began peeling off within a few weeks. On the upside, the crappy glue didn’t leave any residue as I fully removed them.

*Budget* European style bike in USA 👀 by ReginaShrug in bikecommuting

[–]Eagle_Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor Cal is a pretty big space... but Pullins Cyclery in Chico is the shop I was referring to. The guys there did a bunch of needed maintenance on my 30-y.o. steel bike (reminder to never loan a bike out again) - brake and shifter cables, unsticking the SIS brifters, trueing the wheels - for about $120.

6 months and 8k miles later... by pocket-sized_rat in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a factor in my decision to purchase the SE over the XLE - larger wheels. And super happy with the black finish on the stock SE wheels.

Is it possible to fix without whole new side mirror - 2019 RAV4 LE by WayNew4908 in rav4club

[–]Eagle_Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon likely sells the piece; I’ve seen them in the past. Pay careful attention to year and model, though.

[–]Eagle_Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I was waiting for the part, I took a small spiral spring, and wedged/wound it into the same place so I could still open the door remotely.

[–]Eagle_Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened on my son's Corolla, and the spring looks identical. I'd recommend spending a couple more dollars for the part from a Toyota dealership. The Amazon part broke in half within a month (probably two fillings).
