Simple channel about what works for me based on experiences in my life being a 43 year old man. Varying from my military experience, federal government employment, aviation experience, hobbies, and husband / dad life.
My intent is to make sure that I can pass on things that have helped me with my family or anything that helps me save time and money.
I am sure that we are all feeling the effects of inflation and I want to do my part by helping other people figure out how to save some money here and there because I know it helps my family and I.
Family is my number one concern so I try to do everything I can to make our lives better. I hope to bring product reviews, any type of life hacks that I can think of and any other relevant information that helps everybody else.
My goal is to build a community so we can all help each other because it seems that we all need help some from time to time.

Any update?
Totally have ditched the WG… I now have a pool service.
Thanks brother for a honest review. Grand Highlander is my next purchase, but now I making decision between Lexus TX
Glad I could give you honest opinions so you can make an informed purchase. Thank you for the support.
Get rid of it get a Kia!!! Or a Hyundai! or maybe an Atlas VW...
@@10cpaul unfortunately they are all too small…
What the fuck is happening to Toyota?
It’s definitely disappointing
👏👏
Ty
Easy solution is to sell it. There are easily least 100,000 peoplw waiting to buy one today and who have none of these concerns. There are reports of used 2024 models seling for over new MSRP.
Wife loves it. She won’t sell it.
Yes you are right. it might be a 1 year model and they will redesign the Grand Highlander for the 2027 with updated safety, design and refinement. We suspect that Toyota might also increase the price as they have current data on how much demand the vehicle has and they could start charging more for it as well they will place a $5000-$7000 premium on it to differentiate it from the regular highlander.
I think so. We shall see, thank you for the comment!
A pillars airbags is not a quality control issue, it is a design issue.
Doesn’t someone evaluate the design? That’s apart of the quality control process…
I've been using the Sense 1 since March 2022 and can't say I've ever had a problem. Our pool season is relatively short I guess, March through Oct each year and during off season, I remove the batteries and store my Sense 1 in the garage. A couple of points I see missing from the video: 1) Where's your net? I've always kept mine in the mesh bag included and it keeps the measuring unit clean and pretty much bug and grime free 2) Sense 1 also measures temperature real time (doesn't need to run a test to update the temperature) 3) You don't have to send a pool sample to them, you can still just take a sample to your local store, and using the print out they provide you, you can enter the results manually into the Waterguru App (as often as you like) 4) I've also found the Waterguru chemicals to be very competitively priced and good quality... they do what it says on the tin ;-) and so for this last season have been ordering Algicides, Phosphate controls and stabilizer (CYA) from them. 5) Periodically, Waterguru has sales, and that's the best time to stock up on cartridges. For me, I mostly use the Sense to be able to see pool water temperature and daily PH and Chlorine levels, and so it's been well worth the purchase IMO. Previously I was using "Phin" for 3 years, which is now out of business, and I found the Waterguru Sense to be a significant upgrade.
For such a expensive car this is just a slap in the face of consumer. They should just buy back that vehicle
You should see how much the tundra costs and how unreliable it is now! Definitely not the Toyota of old!
I own the ‘24 Grand Highlander Hybrid and the one thing I would change is the engine size. The engine in the ‘24 Toyota Sequoia is a V6 Hybrid and its torque and power is impressive not to mention better fuel economy when compared to the Grand Highlander Hybrid.
Great input! Thank you for the comments!
Same bro 💪😭
Damn!! It sucks!!!
Same
Sucks
This machine is $399 online right now
$399 vs the original $1299
26.4 best mpg I have gotten so far in my 2024 GH XLE. Decent I guess.
That’s awesome! We haven’t seen anything more than 21.2 on our limited.
What is the model of the rear facing seat you are using? I am interested in checking the length of it to see if there are any others seats on the market that would have better clearance in the grand highlander.
We recently have switched to the doona.
Toyota's quality is comprised after the start of manufacturing in the USA. I have a 2022 Highlander XLE they said 36MPG but it gives only 30 TO 32MPG. I am thinking of changing to Honda. Also, there is an issue with the linear under the wiper to hold the windshield. I checked 3 different people and all the fit is substandard and poapong out.
Thank you for the comment! Toyota has gone down drastically in quality. It’s a shame. All new generations of Toyota vehicles post COVID are having some pretty serious issues that is unlike the Toyota of old.
Cheap JBL speakers, the poor interior design, it look like it came out of 90s.
@@rizwanrafeek3811 but definitely not priced in the 90s 😂
@@AviatorsGarage Mazda has got good interior design, but I like Honda's reliability. Grand Highlander size is right but poor interior design, it looks like just run of the mill. Just look at the seats, it sucks. I want to buy one, but I hate the look of the interior design, exterior is OK I can live with it. oh well, it is what it is. My kids and wife hate it too.
@@rizwanrafeek3811 favorite 90s car? I have two classic Mazdas. One from 80s and on from 90s.
I’ve been a passenger in several accidents over the years, I definitely prefer being in a large solid vehicle, thank you for showing how thin the metal is, so crazy that they’d skimp in that area. Great video.
Thank you for the support. I think all cars are going this way no matter what. All brands are super cheap on materials now
Lube your pins with anti seize
@@jimcatanzaro7808 I don’t. Have had issues in the past.
Use heat on the rotor with map gas on Amazon and a bit of oil and wack it with a hammer
Dun sunnn
Can you report on the measurement accuracy of the S2 (or even S1) against the DIY drop kit? There's no mention of that in your videos. Even if the unit is operational forever, there's no point in it if it's not accurate. Thanks!
@@nickg7205 ya it’s not accurate at all. I have since given up on it. I hired a pool company. I’ll make a video about that lol!
It is listed for $399 and I am thinking of buying it but after seeing so many negative comments I am reconsidering buying it. I am in early 40s and want to restart my gym routine after 10 years of sedentary lifestyle. Do you recommend centr 1 to a guy like me?
@@kirank2724 for $399 I recommend it to anyone! Grab it
@@kirank2724 that thing was $1299 originally!!!!
I’m in same boat as you. After reading the comments with I cable issues and pulley not sure if I wanna buy it.
@@Daniel-z2j2v you can use some synthetic grease and that should help. The accessories that come with it are worth more than $399. No way would I pay the original asking price of $1299
@@AviatorsGarage appreciate it. I think I’m going to order it. I have shoulder pain and elbow pain so I think this type of machine will help big time and still get a good pump working out.
That’s a tea cool layout. Kudos.
I wish it was mine!
Curious about this vs the top line FT2 fully loaded.. $5k vs $2.5k. as you noted in your links theres a Costco next place to order but no idea what Costco policies follow over like the returns policy. Also, was that a black Friday deal or something? Really annoying Costco doesn't have a show room floor in some populated areas to see these direct only things because i need to see and measure the darn thing for the space i need to put it in
Yeah, so a lot of things have changed since I posted this video Costco has a link where you can go to inspire special store and I think you can get an offering forthe SF three for pretty much $2500. If you now look, Costco sells the version of the Centr 3. I think it’s a rebrand of inspire. But I do know they go on sale. The FT two is by far a way better machine but you will pay the $5k price. For me the SF3 has been more than adequate for what I got and the price.
@@AviatorsGarage cool, appreciate the input, not many reviews on the Costco stuff and stores don't have it inside because it's "seasonal" and even then they don't really have all the options on display. Best I can tell is the centr stuff is just a rebrand now that some celebrity bought a stake in inspire fitness and that's the new app so they can try to hook people on subscriptions because every company needs to collect monthly or yearly fees now
Toyota just posted on their facebook stories an hour ago looks like a new grand highlander.
The rumor is the grand Highlander is going to get a complete facelift. if you go and dig through a bunch of the forums and you look at the hub, you’ll see that the rumors are pointing towards a facelift which could possibly change the way. The eight pillars are in the current 2024 grand Highlander. There are also rumors of class action lawsuits floating around.
@@AviatorsGarage i hope they fixit. Even on 2018rav4 there is still no available fix on their recall. I'm hoping they will not let all toyota fans disappoint. 😔I attached a link on the comment regarding on their post.
399
@@maryzakiandourrugrats4671 grab it! That’s a steal. Was originally advertised at $1299
I think I’ll stick with my 2018 regular highlander. I’m scared of that 4 cylinder turbo engine and you can open the glass hatch in the back.
We definitely miss the hatch in the back.
I have no problem with my 6 months and still don’t have any issues.
@@EdyGomez-xh4gs that’s great news! We need a fix on the recall though! Did you get your second key fob?
They are selling us caca 💩 for our money now a days
YES! Such a good point. Things are being made cheaper and sold more expensive than ever!
Oh no I was getting ready to buy one after seeing your first video. I have a gmc Arcadia but it has so many electrical issues
Unfortunately I think all cars are going to have issues. We like our GH but just putting out real information. Thank you for the support!
What year gmc Arcadia?
The only thing that I had to do with my grand Highlander was lower the height of my lights, I was pissing too many people off 😂
And get another key fob… and waiting for a recall fix! Welcome to the club😆😆😆
Did you drive one of these with the non-turbo motor? Or the standard Highlander?
I only drove the turbo 2.4L. To my understanding the hybrid max is fast. Has great power as well. We had the 2018 V6 highlander and it felt like it had more torque. It was a smaller and lighter vehicle though.
Awesome video sir. Liked and subscribed. ... I would like to buy a new 2022 Highlander with the v-6 motor that is naturally aspirated.
Thank you for the support! I hope they come back with the V6. There are rumors the Lexus version may go back to it.
@@AviatorsGarage That would be awesome!
But who knows if you can get tundra calipers and rotors to fit on a 2nd gen tacoma ?
That would be awesome
My 2017 Highlander’s hood use to vibrate and service adjusted it to stop 🤷♂️.
It’s not possible to adjust on this model unfortunately
Doubt they will change the grand Highlander style at this stage. More likely they will fix the design of the safety flaws of the airbag and any other safety deficiencies.
Maybe
Since May of 2023, tried to get 2nd key. 8 attempts, no success. Now, f____d up bags. Toyota, you’ve outdone yourselves.
Definitely frustrating for sure!!! Thank you for the comment!!!
Thank you for your videos! I was able to purchase my GH Gas Plat in June about 2wks before the stop sale. My pano roof recently had to replaced because the glass stopped opening at being used twice but other than that I’ve been very happy with the car with no other issues. My daughter also sits in the 3rd and absolutely loves it! Fingers crossed the airbag recall will be the only other problem we experience because I really don’t want a different SUV. From reading different forums there aren’t any other SUVs in this class that offer the same space with reliability. So I hope Toyota hasn’t tarnished its reputation by making too many cost saving changes.
@@Kirrichan I absolutely agree and thank you so much for the nice comment. I’m so happy that you were enjoying the car. I know that we enjoyed it as well. I just like getting very relevant information out there to us owners who unfortunately have to deal with these difficult difficulties. Thank you again for your support.
I would like to see them make the third row two seats instead of three with proper lower anchors in both seats. This size car no way you can squeeze three people back there. They have it in the Lexus that way
Couldn’t agree with you more! Great comment!
Just get the lexus though if large size comfort and anchors is the main thing. I like the 3 people 3rd row because it is great for 3 small kids or 2 big kids/small adults.
@@cg1885 I will take donations for the extra $50,000 for a Lexus
Regular hybrid is non turbo. You mistakenly stated turbo. Hybrid max has turbo, but regular hybrid has no turbo. Also your engine has actually more torque than old v6.
@azerogliev6520 still sluggish, there are different variations of the GH hybrid. One is non turbo the other is. Good catch.
I have been a loyal Toyota 4Runner buyer for decades. No longer! I recently purchased a Luxurious Mazda CX-90 six cylinder Turbo S Premium, at a much lower cost and better discounted deal, than a new 4Runner!
Right on!
No problems? They have several recalls also.
its the first gen hommie... they wont change anythin anytime soon.
True dat G
ruclips.net/video/zTsS3wYEQWM/видео.htmlsi=YgM110NY-hP_KSTV
The video I added above shows different, like the infotainment system changed but it could be a prototype. It matches more of the new Toyota highlanders mixed with land cruiser
The $70K Lexus GX550 has the same hood wobble. Imagine that.
That’s unfortunate
Seems like Toyota is sinking fast, my conclusion from your video
They are actually doing ok sales wise. Quite the opposite. I totally agree with your point though
4ft11 here and it works great for me. I do need a step stool for quad extensions.
@@sunshineyoga1986 I think even Shaq would need one lol!
Toyota has issued a resolution, Sept 13 2024. A modified curtain air bag will be installed on driver/pass sides. The GH is NOT being refreshed or redesigned. I'm unable to post the link to the news release
Thank you! UPDATE TO MY REPLY- there is no remedy posted. My Application states “TOYOTA is currently preparing the remedy for this issue. When the remedy is available, Toyota dealers will replace the driver curtain airbag, and passenger curtain Air bag FREE OF CHARGE. At this time, Toyota is unable to provide an estimate of when the remedy will be available.” This has been stated since the recall was issued. The only thing that has changed is both airbags have issues now.
I have only seen a couple of your videos, but it sounds like you hate Toyota! My GH gets 18 city and 23 highway. My 2011 V6 Camry got 17 city 25 highway. I love my GH because I don't worry about the airbags, my wife doesn't ever let me drive with the windows open. Allergies!
lol, no I love Toyota… just disappointed. Thanks for the comment. Go army!
@@AviatorsGarage OMG!!! Semper Fidelis!!!
@@juanmontalvo9043 thank you for your service. I love marines! Go Army! Love messing with you guys too 😘
@@AviatorsGarage Go Navy beat Army 😂.
@@KMK623 yes sir Go Army!
We have owned our ‘24 Grand Highlander since 8/23. Absolutely no problems. Love it. We get 24-28 mpg on highway. Drive mostly in town so our average is 19-20. We have the Limited trim with the non hybrid engine. Lots of power. We do not experience any road noise. We do not have the sunroof. Heats and cools terrific. Love the AWD in the rain and snow. I agree that the sheet metal does flex more than I want. Just got 2 different notices in the mail this month: 1) second key fob is now available (finally) and 2) the safety recall on the side curtain airbags. I’m not worried about this and I know Toyota will get that fixed in the future.
Thank you for the comment!
Oh.. my big toe. My princess crown is too big.
To each their own! Great comments
What does that mean? Just curious.
