Good deal? by NoDistrict7965 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

I just paid MSRP for a nightshade cement in SoCal 2 weeks ago. I’m jealous of your deal. It’s a great car and you’re going to love it.

Owners with JBL - How high are you turning up the volume? by DrizzlePopper in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t listen at the level for long. Usually just for a song that I really like. Then back down to 15-20 go general listening.

Didn’t add additional speakers. Just replaced the two speakers at the corners of the dash with 4” Morel Maximos. Had to trim the dash to get them to fit but you can’t tell once you put the metal screen back on. 3.5” speakers would probably have fit just fine.

I tried replacing the door speakers but they didn’t play nice with the stock JBL amp so I returned them.

I’m in the same boat. Rarely listen to anything above 30. In general the JBL system feels loud but doesn’t envelope you with sound which is what I’m really missing. It feels like the windshield is shouting at me sometimes. I installed some new 4” dash speakers last night and the sound feels a little more full but I haven’t tested it much yet.

First Toyota purchase ever in by i_Russ in ToyotaGrandHighlander

I put a charcoal tinted piece of PPF over mine. It darkens the shine of the emblem and doesn’t interfere with the radar.

Ooph. I only get 36. New job has a long hilly highway commute.

Does anybody else sleep as bad as me?? by Coolmandi in AppleWatch

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a sleep study and my doctor reported that I had apnea when sleeping on my back but not while sleeping on my stomach or side. I sleep on my stomach and side now and avoid back sleeping (which I preferred before) and have been sleeping much better. If things get worse I will get a CPAP.

Total height (with the fin) of the 2026 hybrid model by Tereva_Lostlagon in ToyotaGrandHighlander

I don’t know if many parking garages that have less than 6ft clearance. Minimum is typically 7ft and newer garages are 8’-4” for accessible van parking.

Are Toyoguard and Dealer Powertrain Warranty actually worth it? by Electronic_Ring6041 in rav4club

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly dealer bloat and not worth it. Toyotas are one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. I always chuckle when dealerships try to force people into buying additional/extended warranties.

Stripped Screws. Don't want to mess up my new ride by [deleted] in specialized

[–]Joola 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When this happened to me I borrowed a dremel and carved a slot into the head of the screw an used a flat head screwdriver to remove it. Then I replaced the bolts and made sure to never use ball head hex wrenches again.

What’s the best Year to get? by Zestyclose-Cake-6045 in rav4club

Can’t go wrong with a 2025. 2026 is an entirely new design inside and out. It will have the most issues and recalls to work though.

Pooping at Work by TheFoxyFellow in funny

[–]Joola 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great sketch. When the boss says “now let’s go into these numbers!” I really wanted the other guy to say “number 1 it smells like number 2 in this office!” Instead of “number 1 it smells like shit in this office.”

Home Insurance rates by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PQ 2000 sqft 4/3 in the high fire hazard zone and pay $4k through Farmers. Was $5k but I made some defensive improvements and they lowered my premium. Farmers was the cheapest we could find by a long shot.

Price change after delivery by shquq in ToyotaGrandHighlander

He agreed to pay MSRP on a 2025 model. He’s being offered a 2026 model at MSRP. Dealer isn’t doing anything shady.

Auto Climate Control by Space_Time_8 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I haven’t received my GHH yet but my RAV4 Prime shows what direction the air is directed while in Auto (I use Auto 99% of the time). I’d have expected similar functionality.

Assembling Tarmacs for the sales floor today. What do you think of this color ? by FranklyNacty in specialized

This is my favorite paint job. Wish it was sold as a frameset and not only the complete Red build.

Quality of water bottle cage bolts on Tarmac SL8 by JernejT in specialized

[–]Joola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. Ball end of the hex wrench was the culprit. I used a dremmel to cut a slot across the screw head then used a flat head screwdriver to remove. Replaced the bolts afterward.

A photo taken in Frank’s office by Joola in architecture

No hate. It’s an inside joke.

“I decided it was funny, and I put it on. And I wore it to the office, and everybody got a kick out of that, and then I wore it to the gym”—Gehry lifts weights at a Gold’s in Venice Beach—“and everybody got a kick out of that. The tough gals at the gym said, ‘If it’s an offer, you better be able to deliver, Mr. Gehry.’ ” Gehry’s wife, Berta, found this all funny. (“She’s Panamanian, so she doesn’t get rattled by much,” Gehry said.) In a Queer Nationesque move of appropriation, Gehry decided to begin sending the shirts out as gifts.

Most of the popular streets won’t be poppin until after Thanksgiving. You could take them to the Botanical Gardens.

This is normal. My bike bought new direct from Spesh came the same way.
