My Sequoia is an 02 and runs cherry, there are absolutely zero issues with it that I know of besides just old car cosmetic stuff.

It does this when the engine is semi warmed, and seems to go away after a 10 min or more drive.

It's an inconsistent clicking. I read somewhere it could be normal operation of a valve opening and closing. But im not certain. I do have an exhaust leak that is not major and goes away after 60 seconds of driving. Any ideas what this clicking is?? Someone thought its the fan hitting the shroud but 99% sure it is not that.

Thanks for the help!!

So a friend and I want to do the 3 day Rae lakes trail loop soon. Can y’all give me some advice on how to do this because I’m a little confused. Please explain in very basic terms because I have no idea what I;m doing. I have a national park pass because im a veteran. When i was doing some research it seems like we have to reserve multiple camp sites and hike to each one of them to complete the trail. Am I right or completely off track? We will be driving in from out of town with our gear; do we leave our car somewhere? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! TYIA.

I’m planning on hiking the Heather Lake. Any tips? Thank you!

First time visiting and so glad we came in the afternoon/evening to catch some golden hour.

I will be coming next week to Sequoia/KC.
Anyone know what time the shuttles run?
I can see the routes on the NP website but not the times.

Hi All! I will be doing the Sawtooth Pass loop in June, driving in from Sacramento. Where would you recommend I stay the night before I start hiking? Not sure how early I should be to pick up my permits and start hiking, and where around the park I should stay to make that happen.

Hi all, my partner and I are in the early stages of planning a Sequoia Kings canyon weekend.

We have a few stops in Sequoia, and a few stops in Kings Canyon. One of the avenues were exploring is relying on the shuttle for the Sequoia stops and driving our own car for Kings Canyon.

That being said, most of the articles and videos we've read/watched have said to stay in Three Rivers. However, it seems like it's about an hour and a half drive to Giant Forest Museum and an hour and a half drive to the kings canyon scenic byway.

We are trying to decide if we should eat a 2 and a half hour drive to get to Kings Canyon and stay in Three Rivers or if we should stay in Dunlap and divide the driving up into two days.

Any insight or opinions that might make this an easier decision would be awesome!

A few housekeeping things. I've only been once and that was before I really got into National Parks. Also, we are open to other options as well, like staying one night in three rivers and the other in Dunlap, just would prefer to have one base of operations. Any insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know when reservations open up for Crystal Springs?

Planning my first group camping trip. Planning to have about 40 people. Will be staying in Cove Group camp site. Does anyone know how many bear locks they have? we have about 15 different “families” coming. not everyone knows each other so i wanted everyone to prep their own food to not stress. But I’m worried about their not being enough bear locks for everyone to store their coolers.

Also any reviews of that sit are welcomed!

Can you guys give me your thoughts on the severity of rust here?

2012 SR5, 164K mi dealer asking $15K. Some of the parts of the frame rails seem fine, some of those rear components look pretty tough but thinking those are all replaceable.

Thanks!

Has anyone stayed at these two sites? Hoping to see camp set up photos

Has anyone else noticed Google’s search box text becoming really small on Safari?

I’m on a MacBook Air (M4) using Safari Version 15.7.3 (24G419), and this only started recently. The text inside the Google search bar used to be perfectly normal, and now it looks shrunken—almost like a scaling or CSS issue. Screenshot attached.

Things I’ve checked already:

• Safari zoom is set to 100%
• macOS Display scaling hasn’t changed
• Happens even in a fresh tab
• Dark mode on/off doesn’t fix it

What’s odd is that this seems Google-specific. Other sites look fine, and the rest of the Google page (logo, buttons, layout) appears normal—it’s just the text inside the search field that’s weirdly small.

Wondering if this is:

• A recent Google UI change
• A Safari rendering bug
• Something Apple Silicon / M-series related
• Or some font/accessibility scaling interaction gone sideways

If you’re on Safari + macOS and seeing the same thing, I’m curious what version / hardware you’re on—and whether you’ve found a workaround.

I still haven’t taken action on getting my 2004 Sequoia repaired (engine failure) Anyone got a recommendation for a mechanic/shop in the Charlotte, NC area, preferably someone who isn’t going to take advantage of the situation.
