After leaving Arches NP, it was time to load the car up and hit Shafer Trail. I was the only one excited for this, but the rest of the family were troopers. Shafer Trail is perhaps best known for Thelma and Louise Point, or for the switchbacks that are visible from an overlook in Canyonlands...

The following morning was another trip to Arches, but this time we had an 8am permit to hike through Fiery Furnace. This was everyone's favorite part of the trip. We did our best to follow the small brown arrows that the official tours followed, but we essentially had the run of the place. We...

Next was the hike to Delicate Arch. It wasn't busy, but the spot was buzzing with excitement. It's quite a sight to behold and the way the trailhead dumps you into the scene creates a core memory. On the way out, we stopped at Park Avenue Overlook. This might have been my favorite...

The next day we had an 11 am entry into Arches NP, so we first got some groceries and then I wanted to show the family Birthing Scene Petroglyph. This is out Kane Creek Road, which is the same road that Jeremy and I took to Hurrah Pass the year prior. It also passes by the famous Cliff Hanger...

The next morning we finished the drive to Moab, heading down Scenic 128 and heading straight to Milts for lunch, just as I had done on the prior trip. On Scenic 128 we saw our first pair of Lexus GX550 prototypes, which we would see a few more times throughout the next few days. Then we...

The next trip out west was with the whole family, in October of 2023. My wife is not a fan of road trips, so we flew to Denver and rented a 4Runner on Turo. After visiting Red Rocks Amphitheater and hiking the loop, we jumped in the car and headed west on I70 until we got to Glenwood Springs...

That's fantastic to hear! Go get that money! Reach back and bring someone with you. Go on vacation(s) and enjoy some downtime. 😎 Only then should you worry about pictures for us.

I have a RAV4 on larger tires and don't see it beyond a few small familial similarities, which are present on the last 25 years of 4Runner too. I see a lot of 4th gen in this design, particularly in the flanks, but really it just looks like a 4Runner with some of Toyota's updated styling...

You may have seen this image floating around recently, but I made it into a meme.

I'm talking about the Hemi. I agree with your assessment of cylinder deactivation, which is why I went with the turbo-6. Ford does it differently, but I have other concerns with deactivation than just lifters. I'm relatively informed of the potential issues with Ford's 3.5TT, which vary by...

Thanks for the tip on the Sikaflex 221, I just ordered some to seal up my bed.

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but I wouldn't touch a Ram with a 10' pole. I don't think they fixed the lifter issue at startup, did they? I have a 2023 Camry Hybrid as a daily driver and the F150 gets saved for truck stuff and road trips. It truly is the best of both worlds....the car...

Not saying you're wrong, but a Tremor high for under $65k isn't something I've seen. If you can get one, with what you listed, for $66k, I would jump on it. My coworker paid $65k and did not get the Torsen.

There are 17 for sale within 100 miles of me, in central Kentucky (which includes Cincinnati). I can pick you up from the airport if you're interested in flying into Lexington. Here's one for $60k and two others for $61k and $61.7k...

Keep looking for a Tremor and drive if you have to, I wish I had paid a little more and done so. They have 3.73 gears and a real leaf pack in the rear.

F250 Tremor w/ 7.3L gas. You do not want a mid-size.

From the Maid of the Mist: From Canada: The Niagara Parks Power Station was impressive. It was amazing that we built things of this scale in the late 1800's. They had recently opened The Tunnel, which was reached via elevator and let you walk down to nearly water level. We also did...

Next up was Niagara Falls, NY. I wanted to go here since I was a little kid, largely due to the Superman scene that was filmed there. From the U.S. side. This kid has always had a way with animals.

I don't, but I've looked at the link above multiple times and I think it looks pretty good. Any bumper of that type looks a little out of place, but I don't think that one is bad, and the price is decent. I assume you'll need to get a relocated intercooler, which adds another ~$1500...

We miss ya, Andrew. Hope things are going well and you are loving every minute of the best part of life.
