Winter Road Trip Road Test: Toyo Celsius All-Weather Tires

January 21, 2022 / Andy Lilienthal / 2 Comments
Toyo Celsius All-Weather Tires

As you know, we recently got a 1998 Honda CR-V. In fact, we drove it from Oregon to Wisconsin and back and only broke down once. (That’s a story for another time.) Before leaving for the frozen midwestern tundra, we put some all-weather Toyo Celsius tires on. No, not all-season, all-weather. If you’re not familiar,…

Nextbase 622GW recording

The Nextbase 622GW Dash Cam provides high-quality, crisp recordings and can give you added security when on the road. We recently received a Nextbase 622GW dash cam for review. At a tune of $399.99, it certainly isn’t the cheapest one on the market but it offers several bells and whistles in exchange for its hefty…

We Are United By Horsepower

Stacey and Kathy after they finished the Rebelle Rally.

These days it can seem like we’re all so separated. There’s a pandemic that has kept many of us apart for more than a year. There have been deep political rifts that have divided people. And in the automotive spheres, social media allows people to split up into their own camps on just about everything….

Installing a Long Range Fuel Tank on our Mitsubishi Pajero

November 14, 2019 / Andy Lilienthal / Leave a comment
LRA Diesel Auxiliary Tank

Our JDM Mitsubishi Pajeros have some great features. We love their size, diesel engines, and off-road capability. One of the things we don’t love, however, is the small fuel tank which equates to a short range. So we decided to do something about it. The short-wheelbase 2.5-liter diesel Pajero has a 15.8 gallon tank. We…

Working on a Pajero

Right now both of our Mitsubishi Pajeros are out of commission. I know it’ll only be temporary, but we will definitely have some interesting times coming up here shortly. Let me elaborate.

Compact Conspiracy: Could the Suzuki Jimny Come to North America Under Another Brand?

August 30, 2019 / Andy Lilienthal / 2 Comments
2019 Suzuki Jimny

Like much of the rest of the world, we’re totally mad about the new Suzuki Jimny. As evidenced in post with the Jimny in Iceland, it’s a fantastic platform that’s truly as good as the automotive press says it is. Now, put your tinfoil hats on as I explore an admittedly far-fetched idea. Suzuki withdrew…

VW Beetle Final Edition at R2R

Roswell, NM. It seemed a natural. On the 20th Anniversary of R2R (Return to Roswell), which also is the final year for the beloved VW Beetle, we took a Final Edition convertible to the event. The first year I brought our pre-owned ’02 Double Yellow Color Concept (DBCC in VW speak), which was a Christmas…

Remember: We’re All Gearheads

Mitsubishi Pajero flex

I’ve long said that most people love to belong to something. Whether it’s a club, a devout loyalty to a brand, or whatever. Everyone likes to belong somehow when it comes to automotive things. There’s seems to be an unofficial hierarchy to it. The base layer is “car guy” or “car gal.” Next up is…

April 5, 2019 / tuanies / Leave a comment
Top Truck Challenge 2019 1:10 veresion

RC cars are a rabbit hole of wallet-emptying enjoyment. The hobby mimics 1:1 vehicle culture on a smaller scale, even down to the events. The Washington Remote Control Rock Crawlers, mostly known as WARCRC, holds a Top Truck Challenge for scale RC vehicles and last Saturday was the group’s annual event. As the event name…
