When I had purchased my 2014 Honda CR-V, I experienced a loud "thump" noise in the rear of my vehicle that started happening after maybe the first 500 miles - after I made the service advisor drive with me in the car, they finally heard the noise. Ended up that the rear strut was overtightened...

Does Cali tax every year? I've been told the first year can be costly but after that isn't absurd (we were discussing Colorado fees at the time).

Yeah it's good times: Regardless of when you buy the vehicle in CO the taxable value is based off the original MSRP. Then you get your fees. You can deduct the ownership tax on your federal income tax return, but not the fees. I've only ever registered vehicles in CO and NH, and don't...

In Colorado there is. Plus the fees for bridges, roads, registration, license plate selection...

Is the lifetime kayak you're looking at a sit-in or a sit-on-top version? I have a 13' Perception and I will tell you the cockpit of the kayak will not fit in the window on the rear door. A sit-on-top model would probably fit, but I'd bring some stuff to anchor the kayak inside the vehicle and...

I'm not sure this is new info, but I'll share mine: I have invested in multiple Thule carriers over time, so I went with Thule again for this vehicle so I can continue to use them: Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53") Black; I have the bars 30" apart. This allows the back hatch to open entirely with...

Just a pretty backdrop in town this week.

I can't beat your mileage, but I agree that this vehicle is excellent on the MPGs if a little care is taken. I just crossed 10K (sorry about the sun glare in my pic) - my display is 29.2 MPG average, my hand calculation is 28.2 MPG over that time frame. Best hand calculated tank I've had is...

Well, October was super busy at work and I had some trips planned, so I didn't get back to this as soon as I thought I would. My Big Bend is missing the under dash panel that covers the fuse area, so I can't speak to getting that panel off, but popping the cover of the fuse box off isn't too...

Well, for my part, I was gifted the Midland so my choice was somewhat made for me ha. But I think that the technical answer may be that a wired radio has a better range (and also less likely to lose it somewhere). I know my friend that gifted me my radio likes the improved performance of the...

Can I ask which Micro2 fuse taps you used? I tried to use Fuse 24 but mine would not fit over the Micro3 fuse to the left (Fuse 18/19). These are what I had ordered from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZV4LY54/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went camping on the West Slope of Colorado this last weekend and took some pics of Twilight while out and about... She got pretty dirty when I took her down some hunting access roads in McInnis Canyons NCA. So dirty that I had to clean off the mud when I got down the mesa in Fruita because my...

Hi all, I'm looking for a photo of a stock Big Bend undercarriage and all I've been able to find are photos of Badlands or of just specific areas (that are not what I'm looking for). Does anyone happen to have a photo (or would be willing to take a photo) from say the front license plate area...

Hello there, I did not install with a dongle, I ran a fuse tap from the interior fuse box up the passenger side and over to the mirror and dash cam. I didn't remove the mirror or the black surround to do this, I just tucked the cord inside. I will not profess to be an expert, but I do not...

That should be an amazing trip, @DersCan! I am cautiously resuming my travel plans for SW Florida and the Keys for next year. I haven't seen much of the SE part of the United States and will be planning my trip around National Park sites. I am also thinking a trip up to New England will be...

Looks great! Does this fit on the existing roof rails or do you remove them? In the pics it sort of looks like they were removed.

Thanks! It has been interesting doing projects on a new model car where there isn't a ton of information out there already. :cool: I figure I've gotten enough information out of various forums for previous car projects that I should make a concerted effort to contribute to this one when I can...

Hello all, With my previous cars, I have added dashcams and some kind soul for the most part had mapped the fuses for always on/switched on so you could use fuse taps to make those accessories work with pretty minimal work on your own. I've not seen a comprehensive list yet in this forum...

In the spirit of keeping this info on a single thread, I'm going to post what I did here but if it needs to be moved, I'm happy to do so. Thanks to everyone who's posted already - it was really helpful when I started mine. I was gifted a Midland MXT275 radio and I went with the 3dB Ghost...

I did a few things this past week. First, I fixed a chip in my windshield with a kit I picked up at one of the auto parts places in town. It worked surprisingly well - I've never used one before but felt this might be a route to try so I don't have a claim against my insurance every month (I...
