What have you done to your ride lately?

@Silverback I got a pic of your snowchains

 

[Silverback]

Um.. Aaron and Scott need those. Do they fit Olakai slip-ons? Wearing a pair of their gortex ones now.. surprisingly warm. Thought I would have to break out a pair of the Danners.

Wifes Volvo has similar... I have never tried it. I do let it do the "pilot assist" where it drives itself a bit. Kinda cool parlor trick, hands off the wheel and it follows curves and shit. I still don't trust any of that crap though.

I think it will hold between the lines too, I know my wife's says it will anyway

We've used the shit out of the parallel parking on the S60. Haven't had a chance to try it on the XC90. It's gotten us into parking spots that I never thought was big enough for the car. We've gotten a lot of damn good parking spots in downtown and midtown because of it.

I have never tried the parallel park on her XC90 either. LOL

My dad's LS460 has the parallel park thing. I don't trust it enough to use it though.

Does the car "assess" if it's too big for the spot first, or just try pulling in and give up

After smashing body panels like 16yr old chick

Fast forward to about the 1:30 mark.

It scans first and then parks itself. It's freaking sweet and scary bc it comes within an inch of the other cars

Added some sound deadening to the front doors. Ran out of time and motivation to do the rear doors. Already sounds way better when shutting the doors.

 

[CowboyTaco]

speaking of rabbit holes....@tex is going down one now!


In other news, the Yokohama Geloandar AT G015s got installed yesterday. I miss the more aggressive look of the Grabber AT2s, but I sure do love how quiet the Yokos are! The radio sounds way better than when I installed the deadening mat.

I probably am going down a rabbit hole but I think I will have some self control with this. I had no issues before so any improvement will be pleasing. I am not taking the interior out to do every inside panel.

Good lord my Tacoma would benefit from some sound deadening....the first gens have nothing!

My 3rd gen 4Runner sounds a lot better after just doing the doors. I plan to do the floor this Spring.

 

[Silverback]

I need to do my rear doors.. fronts sound like you are tapping on a a 2x4... 3-4 layers.. rears have nothing.

Oh I believe it. I’ve got other things to spend money on right now and comfort features take a back seat

This stuff was relatively cheap. Fatmat on Amazon. I got 25 sq ft to start for $60. Came with the roller tool and exacto knife

It is more time intensive than money.

Same stuff I've got in my Tacoma.
