OEM Toyota Headlights

If I had a Corolla where a pair of replacement lights can be had for around $100 and I have the mechanical ability to do the replacement myself I wouldn't fuss with restoring.

Cooper Tires

Rating 4.0

I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.

* Wet Traction - 9.5/10

* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.

* Dry Traction - 8/10

* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.

* Snow Traction - 9/10

* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.

* Comfort/Noise 8/10

* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.

Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.

Pros: confidence-inspiring wet grip
Cons: stiffer going over bumps

OLD MAN EMU Shock absorbers

I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.

Pros: rides great, slight lift
Mileage: 120000 km

TRD Oil filter

TRD Pro filters or nothing in my ‘15 TRD. Full synthetic media/99% efficiency at 20 microns, wire mesh backed media, steel end caps, steel center core, silicone end gaskets and filter housing gaskets. All for $13 bucks on eBay. But to the op, I ran one for a engine flush I did when it turned over 100,000 miles. Held up pretty good for only 3,000 miles. I’d say it’s one of the best the shelf options for the price. Hard to pay $20 plus for the wix with all that polish plastic and I wouldn’t put a OEM filter in my zero turn let alone my truck. Talk about absolute garbage; semi synthetic media, no end caps, no wire mesh, just a rolled over pleats super glued together at the ends.

Pros: good price, held up well
Cons: OEM garbage
Vehicle: Toyota Tundra
Mileage: 3000 km

Duralast Shock absorbers

  • Bottoming:
Rating 1.0

I purchased a pair of Duralast shocks(full assembley) to replace my front shocks on my 2014 Camry. It's been a couple months now and I honestly am starting to think they are pure garbage, they don't feel great going 10-40 mph, then on the highway they aren't bad but damn, I feel like I took a step down replacing my OEMs with these things.

Pros: highway ride not bad
Cons: feel like garbage
Vehicle: Toyota Camry
