My problem with disabling PKSB is that often it isn't able to be quickly reenabled. I'll turn it on when I have the swing-away and rack and that seems fine. But the first challenge is that the dash will continually ask me if I have a trailer connected. If I select yes, it doesn't seem to...

A front bumper with a 2" receiver. Would be great to be able to take a cargo rack on the beach without having the rear parking sensors going bananas!

We had the optional black lug nuts installed to match our wheels and they still had the paint stripes. About 10 seconds with some isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth and you'd never know they were there. PS I like the idea that they are the Ukrainian flag colors!

I used to hit RC (and even Paragon way back) with my TJ. Not sure if our 4Runner will ever hit those same spots though as it is primarily a beach rig for us.

6800 miles and it'll be a year old around mid-September. We have been averaging around 19.6mpg with mixed driving. I've reset the average meter a couple times and it always ends up around 19.6mpg.

I understand your perspective. But for me, I like the "walk away" feature on my Honda. I usually keep the fob in my work bag which sits on the back seat. I open my door, toss it on the back seat, and then hop in, hit button, and go. When we get to work, I like getting out, grabbing my bag...

I looked at Carista's website and even on there it doesn't seem like a feature it can turn on. Shame too - even my 2016 Honda Civic locks when I walk away.

Couldn't you just twist into Sport mode and get the same effect inside the cabin and then be the same on the outside? You get all the benefit of a fun sound plus a little more pep....and your neighbors are cool with it too. Plus you have the added capability of making it quieter in the cabin...

Cool.

Going to a sponsor's post and pushing a different brand's product is definitely something.

I don't know this as fact, but have read that the factory sets them high for transport on the ship coming across to North America. Maybe it helps stabilize them during high seas?

Do the trim packages with the auto stop/start have a second battery? My in-laws have a Grand Cherokee and it has a smaller second battery and if you don't use the stop/start feature it will kill that battery much faster than normal which leads to lots of lights on the dash. I now know it is...

I run 34psi on the street and 25 on the beach.

While I appreciate everyone's take on whether ceramic coatings work or not...I still am curious if anyone has used the one by Chemical Guys? And I focused on that one because I already have it and am planning on it using it. Basically, wanted to know if I should be taping off the fender flares...

Are there spacers behind the wheels? Seems more aggressive poke compared to other folks with same wheels. Could be camera angle too.
