I was just driving along when my TPM (tire pressure monitor) sensor came on. I just checked the pressure on all my tires so I was a bit puzzled. I didn’t want to take any chances potentially having to jack up my huge body-on-frame SUV in the busy cold NY (24 degrees Fahrenheit) streets, so

As a longtime enthusiast of Nexus phones, I’ve journeyed through the years with various models, reveling in the flexibility and the pure Android experience they offered.

Lexus GX 460

So, I recently bought a Lexus GX 460, and it’s a great body-on-frame vehicle with good performance and excellent off-road capabilities.
