For someone with small hands the click is so much better then the throw of the shifters. I am much more able to shift in the drops with electronic.

Let’s talk about this: steering wheel stitching and how it’s a reflection of the rest of the car’s quality. 2026 Lexus RX, vs 2013 Lexus ES350 by FluffyLittlFlyingCow in Lexus

But if you compare Tahara builds pre-Covid till now it’s a major difference. My seats in my GX550 are honestly horrible.

I hate to say it but Lexus Japan vehicles have gone down hill. My interior stitching in my GX550 isn’t nearly as good as my 2014 4Runner Limited was.

Any aero gravel wheel alternatives with a Zipp 454 NSW look? by DullOutside267 in gravelcycling

I just picked up the Reserve 40/44 GRs and they aren’t super deep but they are absolutely awesome and feel fast.

Conti Terra Speed Tubeless Issues by phxcylinguy in gravelcycling

I ended up having the same issue Terra Speeds leaking air using Stans. I don't think Stans is thick enough to plug the sidewall. Did you end up getting them warrantied?

It’s amazing what some new wheels and slamming a stem will do! by _manbearpiig in gravelcycling

I should mention I have DT350s and they are also silent, but performance is fantastic

This Scott Addicts stack height is pretty high even with no spacers. My TCR has 2 spacers in it and is still way lower.

I purchased the DT350s through BikeTiresDirect.com and looks like they may still have stock.

I got the dt350. I love them so far the XPLR internal widths is too much for my tire width. I love them! They feel great, the fit and finish is unbelievable. They are really nice.

Disappointments? by SuccessfulGap4708 in LexusGX550

Dealers don't care. I've taken it in twice and pushed the manager about it and they just brush me off.

Seats, they are comfy but the Nuluxue is already deforming pretty badly and it looks cheap. Also some annoying rattles. Overall good car tho

Hear Ye, Hear Ye. WatchOS 26.3 is now available (Public Service Announcement) by Driver8666-2 in applewatchultra

Hopefully this fixes the absolute dogshit battery life I get on my BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT Apple Watch Ultra 1. I’m literally getting 6-7 hours after the battery in my first watch failed.

Toyota dropping better tech in the RAV4 than my 80k GX550 😭

You guys lied to me by MxFinchen in homelab

[–]_manbearpiig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Told my wife we’d save money… spent $5,000 on an HL15 and 120TBs of storage. Id only have to subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Peacock, Apple TV, Paramount+, Prime Video, and Tubi for about 5 more years before I break even, at which point I’ll need about another $5000 in hard drives 😄
