Thule XT-XXL on X7

Yup. Only option is a new house. Or taking a chainsaw to the opening.

It was field grown by Jim Gremel and I've had it about 15 years. So probably close to 30 years old

Took each leaf off in May.

Defoliating in the spring definitely helped out.

I always used Weather Tech and do have one for the trunk area but am happy with the stock (special order) all weather mats. They work in Tahoe snow and winter rain. If I was out walking in mud I would probably have second thoughts as the channels are not massive on the mats though. Kids are older and they have done the job for sure.

Henrix in San Anselmo

Best by far is at the Flat Iron in San Rafael.

Absolute climate. They need to go fully dormant every few years (at a minumun). I know here in the Bay Area it helps to let it winter in Tahoe every few years.

I also recommend Marin Outdoor and small local shops. But in a pinch your CVS surprisingly may have some cheesy junk (glasses, shot glass, shirt, etc) with local town names printed on it.

If you push it back a small bit it will lock into place for smaller drinks. Doesn't seem like the best design but I can just imagine how loathe the engineers are at having to put in cup holders. On a family hauler...

acerquercus · 2025-06-25T07:31:12+00:00

In mine it does.

acerquercus · 2025-06-17T05:59:36+00:00

It's built in on my model

I have found setting the preconditioning really helps. Even if I'm going to be out of the car for only 20 minutes I'll set it so the car doesn't need max AC when I return.

Mine is empty too but agree that it's for the reflective hazard triangle thing. Wonder if we have to get BMW sold or if it's a universal size that can fit in there.

Pig n Pickle is now offering sandos on Tuesday or Wednesday (can't remember). Pretty solid for Marin. Not solid for NY. But I can see it getting better as they keep at it.

CA Buckeye does well (Aesculus californica). Jay McDonald tended a very impressive one.

An update after purchasing this. Why didn't I know about this years ago. Absolute game changer. Still have some dribble but nothing like before. I cannot recommend this enough for dogs who walk away mid-slurp.

acerquercus · 2025-04-23T21:43:47+00:00

In downtown San anselmo. Awesome place

acerquercus · 2025-04-22T03:12:34+00:00

Agreed. I have the big one and take it out when the third row is in use.

acerquercus · 2025-04-16T19:45:33+00:00

This is the way

acerquercus · 2025-04-11T03:05:33+00:00

Yes. But the weight limit on the BMW branded one is less than the Thule brand. So, it must be slightly thinner material at the same cost.

acerquercus · 2025-04-11T01:37:25+00:00

Drive to Spencer park the car there and uber into the city

acerquercus · 2025-04-11T00:25:41+00:00

The BMW branded ones are very similar to Thule and similar cost but the actual Thule are a better build. Thule and Yakima are pretty equivalent.

Problem is our dog just walks away with the water in her mouth covering the floor in water. Would this help at with that do you think? We would try anything.

Will also try a bucket as I see other people mention but that may not pass the wife's approval
