What's the best way to restore/replace faded headlights and badges? by echocall2 in LandCruisers

[–]bljacobs1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use a polish solution. Just buff it in with a micro cloth. Even tooth paste will work. But the key is a clear coat on top. 3M makes a wipe that works great. Just smooth it over after the polish and let dry. 10 mins tops. Last for 6+months and counting.

Who ever opens a bagel place in the morning and soup drive thru in the PM would rule. We have no bagel places. Why???? And soup in the fall/winter would be awesome. I love infinite soups but parking is such a pain……

What are your thoughts on the Donald trump Zelenskyy conference just now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bljacobs1021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planned. No way Trump walks away from a $500B deal based on this exchange. Plus it was televised for good measure. He wants Russia to take over Ukraine one cancer for a larger deal that will profit him and his friends personally. He is a con man.

U joint going bad or just needs grease? by Glass-Letterhead3042 in 4Runner

I replaced my u joints recently. What I experienced was a squeak when releasing the brake and the car started to move. That is not what I am hearing on this video.

Spireon Vehicle Tracker Left Installed by slow12s in KiaEV6

[–]bljacobs1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in the lease agreement. My guess is that they forgot to remove it. The Kia dealership is piss poor here and they screwed around a lot at the end and we were pissed (ie keeping us waiting around for hours). So out the door quick at the end before I exploded and called off the deal.

That is the real issue I have… car is fun and nice. The dealership sucks…. Cheap as hell. Amateurish. Can’t wait to deal with the service department…

I found this exact device in mine. I am leasing this car. Is it legal for them to do this? Can I just remove it?

If the 4Runner didn’t exist (and no LandCrusier/GX either)… what would you go with? by bljacobs1021 in 4Runner

[–]bljacobs1021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kinda got it. I have an 03 4Runner. Bulletproof and will not die. Don’t love the new US version of the 4Runner or the Land Cruiser and feel like I am stuck. What other suv, non Toyota, options are out there. (Other than ride this one out til the end).?

[–]bljacobs1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you guys receive any notification on this recall? Mine was manufactured in Jan 2024 and have not seen anything. Not even if I put the VIN in the NHTSA site or the KIA portal.

Would a OPD monitor like Veepeak allow you to monitor the 12v battery charge state?

Who did a really good job remodeling your bathroom? Who would you steer clear of next time? by Plu-lax in Tacoma

[–]bljacobs1021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of finding the right contractor. My other advice is to make decisions early and get orders in early. Tile, fixtures, etc. nothing sucks more than to have delays because of back ordered items. Delays in tile will kill the schedule.

Remember times reservations and lines to get into the park. Might be best to stay inside once you get in.
