2ft flathead screw driver was the only decent way to knock my old axle out, and again only good way I had of fixing the hub while I torqued the thing. Got this as a joke Christmas gift like 15 years ago, thing is an absolute champion
OEM will always have OEM markings, and factory Y pipes will have factory welds, pretty easy to spot.
Again, will they check it? Probably not, but it’s not unheard of for CHP or the local Popo to set up roadside smog inspections, mostly looking for modified cars, but I suppose it’s possible...
Never understood why CA doesn’t accept non CARB cats, tailpipe emissions are tailpipe emissions. Toshi is right, technically it must be CARB approved, and no aftermarket cats are, so you need good OEM cats. You can risk a junkyard Y pipe, ideally one from a wrecked truck because it improves the...
Ah yes the classic “either use an engineer or here’s a list of overkill so we don’t have to think about it” approach. Luckily our local codes are written by engineers so they all have reasonable requirements and their minimum design standards for projects without an engineering are pretty spot...
What sorts of connections are you making? Wood to wood, or brackets? 3-1/2x.162 is the standard around here for Simpson brackets into 4x lumber. 3-1/4x131 is all your wood to wood connections through 2x stock, hence the Matabo shoots them. Nobody shoots 3-1/2s because they always poke through...
Haven’t stayed up until 2:00 working on cars in a long time, fuck Toyota for burying their sensors, fuck the mouse who ate the wire. Shits fixed, only lost one bolt that holds a bracket to the back side of the intake, I’ll solve that problem another day, on that other day I’ll also be dealing...
I live in a Cul De Sac (monoclemonkey.com) with only two houses so most kids make the corner before coming down our street, those that make it here deserve good candy.
Last year I think we had 72 candy bars, I was handing out two per kid for a while, and still had a dozen or so by the end of...
At least you’re doing chips, not a tooth brush like the dentist I grew up around the corner from.
Any of those chip options are better than half the terrible candy my kid will get and I will in turn take to work and abandon next to the coffee pot. Now & Laters can go fuck themselves alongside...
Selling shit on FB marketplace always brings the rage and the lulz
Some dude wants to make $200/month payments on my trailer, he’ll live in it but I can keep the pink. Yeah sure bud, happy to write you a 10+ year loan with zero interest and maybe when you stop paying I can find the thing before...
Le present, doing kid activity today, should maybe find some good for myself at some point.
Hopefully the hot weather heats up the pool for one last swim before I shut it down for the weekend, if not, I’m calling it a cold plunge and going in anyway. Be prepared for my posts about how I’m now a...
Thanks folks, luckily the kiddo isn’t quite connecting the dots, was super worried that he’d be a mess, Alice was his “Piggy Queen”
Yeah, vet gave us the same spiel, make plans while you can, don’t wait too long and put her through any undue pain and end up having to take her to the 24hr vet...
Pour one out for Alice and give your doggos and extra pet for her. Totally normal happy pup Tuesday, yesterday she was hurting, struggling to breathe and had a distended stomach, vet diagnosed her with lung cancer and recommended we make plans within a week. Scheduled the vet to come by...
Fuck cancer, emergency vet visit was all bad news. No more weight control kibble, she gets steak and marshmallows and we keep her comfortable
Old pic, she’s high as a kite right now and not very photogenic
Goddamnit intensifies
Woke up to Dog 2 bloated and no energy so wife took the day off to take her to the emergency vet, hoping for something less severe than last trip to the vet. Her bald patch from the last emergency vet visit hasn’t even grown back yet. Then daycare called and said the...
Usually I can at least see the through line in what they’re up to, even if it’s not what I want them to be doing, this just makes no sense and is still seemingly being celebrated as a win.
I gotta go back to avoiding the news, life was better that way.
This is why Ramaswami is my guy, he...
Am I totally put of my gourd thinking the Democrats may have accidentally fucked us all here? Suppose we end up with a speaker far worse than McCarthy, or no Speaker at all, what exactly do we do in November when funding runs out again? Gunna have to go read up on it, but it would seem that...
The lease deal makes the most sense out of all manufacturers schemes to stop flipping. Even if they made more units, they’d still get scalped the first few years, Ford has no limit on Raptor or Bronco production but they sell for well over sticker the first few years while supply catches up with...
The pigtail is a $30 part, but it’s under the intake with a connection right in the middle of the valley so you can swap it without removing the intake and all that’s entailed there, hence the crazy dealer labor cost.
Unlikely it’s the sensor itself, but that requires the head to be removed...
