Thel hondata wada. 12kmpl with super diesel.

may be he is complaining about the 2L T not been able to hit 250mph. (Can't even hit 150mph right?)

I got Cannon MX922 (i think) and haven't refilled for a long time as I think for my home stuff getting the prints from office or if on weekends getting them from a "communication spot" is best for me. If I really need a printer at home (if doing a small business or something) I'd never again buy a inkjet printer. Refills finish so fast.

Its an OK lens, light weight and compact. But if you do it from a F2.8 lens it will be so much better. A pic just in front of the garage would look like porn.. (This is from Nikon 70-200 F2.8 at 70mm F2.8 - Had to reduce the quality to 7MB to upload to AL)

Completely forgot about the rubbing alcohol. I guess that's much safer bet for interior cleaning. Thanks for reminding that. I guess when the car is not used for sometime I guess let it stand for 2 or 3 days might be the interior friendly method for sanitizing. (Not related to this topic) As for the paint it was given a complete repaint in 2008 (as far as I can remember) when the engine is send for the overhaul. Since its mostly inside the garage and not used often the paint looks new.

(Please remove this post if you find that its useless) How do you all keep your cars healthy during this lock down time? Problems that I’m worried about; Dead or a weak battery Petrol quality getting bad inside the tank Rust on brake rotors Tires getting flat spots Axle boots or other rubber boots getting dried and cracked Rodents getting in to the car and making it their new home If your oil change and maintenance was already due and now its dues for months Rust on moving parts due to less lubricant Things I could try to protect my car; Charge the battery once a while Start the car and keep it running for some time Move the car as much as possible inside the garden or if possible on a road without getting in to trouble with police? Try to see what parts I can lubricate to avoid rust Not using hand brake (parking brake) Check for any signs of rodents getting inside from time to time. (Checking in engine compartment, under the car, inside the car) Any idea what can be done for petrol been degraded being inside the tank for a long time? Clean / sanitize the car driven to get grocery when curfew is relaxed? Would it be safe to use Dettol wipes to clean the interior? Steering wheel, seats, gear shifter, door handle, sun visor, a/c controls, radio controls, etc..? Exterior I guess washing with car shampoo would be sufficient? Refueling after all this COVID-19 thing is over - Anyone worried that gas stations would have bad quality petrol for stored for months? Petrol starts degrading after couple of months right? Would it be the same like some time back we had bad fuel and having to spend thousands to fix fuel pumps? Your advice is much appreciated.. KMeeg.

I used a Nikon D610 + Nikon 24-120 F4 Kit Lens

This option to be programmed by the dealer (for free). When its enabled when you press and hold unlock button it will open all glasses (4 doors, rear glass & sunroof). This can be done your self if you buy a tool like Carista ($30). On 4runner Limited there is up and down arrows outside the lift gate which allows you to roll up and down the glass and lock / unlock the doors from the rear lift gate.

You have to send me a box of biriyani after this Covid for getting you back here.. LoL ?

@fiat fan sent you a message from AL..

Yes machan, there's a power window down for the rear glass but an utter poor design. Due to its boxy shape in rear all the dust suck in to the car. If i keep it open on a trail it would be a huge mess.

Not too much into style machan. Just wanted full time 4wd for Mrs. As for the Rubicon at if I got front locker and sway bay disconnect i should be good. Im not too worried about minor electronics, as long as powertrain is solid and can take me home id be fine. However now I'd lost lot of money if I trade in my 4runner. So I would use it little more. Silver one is mine and the black one is my buddy who is also from SL.

I just saw this in the Autolanka Funniest Moments thread. @fiat fan you are FCA Employee????? You got to be kidding me, I should have known before. I was looking as Rubicon 4door bro. I could have got some info from you and may be a good deal / discount. Damn it. I wasn't sure about the reliability despite a big fan of the capability. I test drove one with 8spd auto and had mopar lift and alpine audio. Though the ride was little different with the solid front axle and little less space in the back but it was ok.

Machan, Not sure if others like it there as this is more specific to off-road type tires. I only shared that experience because Devinda specifically ask for the AT tires vs HT tires. People might get angry and say that its useless info for 99% the people read that tread. Didn't expect to see this tire thing going this far.

Thank you very much @Devinda_Z & @Kavvz. Appreciate that..

With new shoes..?

BFG KO2 I've been using BFG KO2 Load C And Load E on 2 4runners. And we take the 4runner on right for the road trips as well as its more equipped for that. Comfort - With Load E I can definitely feel every bump on highway. Load C is a nice balance between stock HTs (Dunlop Grandtrek AT20) and Load Es. MPG - Initially the tire shop put 40psi on the tires when installed and it was too bumpy to my taste and the MPG was exactly the same as stock HT tires. Then I drop it to 32PSI as the door jamb sticker suggested, but man my MPG dropped like crazy. No kidding. Now running about 35 PSI and the MPG is alright. Road noise - I have very little experience with HT tires as I sold them and got KO@s right away. I have absolutely no complaints on road noise and I only hear wind noise and not tire noise since my car interior is not that sound isolated as a luxury German. Wet / Snow performance - Between KO2 Load C and Load E both perform well on wet conditions but I don't know the limits as I drive little slower on wet roads. In snow I feel Load E slips more than the Load C on tarmac. I guess much softer rubber on Load C grips snow well. But in off-road deep snow at around 15psi both are mountain goats and never got me stuck. The deep isolated tread blocks clean them self really well. Falken Wildpeak AT3W For my wife's car I got Falken Wildpeak at3w XL Load from the stock Yokohama Geolandar g96 HTs. Since her car is 100% on-road I did not go for a LT rated tire. I'm very impressed as the ride is exactly same as stock. Since its only 1 day experience I cannot comment about the MPG yet. Yesterday I drove in wet / light snow condition and it was very solid in traction. If you think of doing like weekend off-pavement drive I would take on gravel roads with out any hesitation. But I would be concerned on forest roads with sharp sticks or sharp rock chips.

Here's more KO2 porn LoL. (Its only a commercial, KO2s can be punctured in off-road too)

Yes they are KO2s. 285/70/17.

Ha ha.. That's so true. I hate those low hanging bumpers and 20" wheels on the Limited trim. I think people buy Limited because of the full-time 4wd (and 7 seats) vs the part time 4wd on the TRD-OffRoad. If my wife had muscles to use the 4wd shifter on the TRD-Offroad that would be my preferred choice. I absolutely love the TRD-Offroad for having more tech and ground clearance than the Land Cruiser 200. BTW today I'm taking the limited for X-reas suspension delete (Getting Bilstein 5100s and Toytec springs) and new tires installed. Though my TRD Offroad has OME Nitro shocks that would be too much for the Limited since its a Pavement princes. Mrs wouldn't know her's got the cheap ones. LoL.

Seriously bro, I was like a kid when they got delivered.
