Got an appt. to take it in for service while we are out of town. Radiator was full, but the overflow tank was empty. No visible leaks and the oil looks good

Wife went to rent a truck, so we weren't in a shitbox Yaris... Out of trucks, so they gave us this instead. $320 for the rest of the week and the normal rate on this would have been $1100.



Gigantor 3 row seating loaded with everything. Better than a Yaris.

Waxer San, you seem pretty white to be driving that vehicle.

I didn't want to say it, so thank you.

Make sure you stay in the far left lane driving 63 mph

I'd probably rather drive a Yaris

I'm assuming that shares things with the current Nissan Pathfinder, which we had as a rental. That car was awful.

I drove it a bit ago, Its actually not that bad for a Nissan. It's like the Armada and has a V8 that makes it move pretty good.

I'd never buy one, but I will drive it to Reno and back for the same price as a economy RAM 1500.

At least V8 and I'm sure comfortable for a road trip.

Lots of disassembly and taping needed on jeeps and lots of 3" polisher and hand polishing needed due to size and shape of panels.

I am thinking about it next along with a small lift & level as well as bigger tires and wheels.

I really like the FF's. I have no love for the stock ramz and slight lift looks good. I think I'd look into some brake improvements if I did that though. Or maybe just period.

I'm trying to keep things under control since it's the wife's daily driver, but brakes would be nice... I am currently planning on the lift/level, fenders, wheels and tires and replacing the headlights with some new LED projectors.
