PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

@ColoradoTJ

Got these for free at work! The two UAVs my company makes...

 

You don't really need a snowblower to clear the occasional snow in this area. This was back in Feb 2006 I think and we got around 20-24" of snow. We had no problem shoveling out in 1 day. I forgot to lock the front hubs on the 4Runner and it was drifted up over the hood and I had to dig in to lock each hub!



And then it got warm and rained and a week later it was almost all gone.

 

Dude, I'm digging your fleet!

You still have the T4R?

 

Premium at BJ’s is cheaper than regular just about everywhere else, and mid-grade improved my mileage, so I’m gonna see how my truck does on premium...

 

Went to get gas and my truck only needed 4 gallons; It stopped liked it’s supposed to, but when I got back in the truck and started it, the needle was barely over a quarter of a tank...

Thinking it was something with the gas pump, I started refueling again, but I had to keep squeezing the handle manually; I continued to do this until it overflowed, but my gauge was still showing not quite full...

As I drove home (not even two miles), the gauge went all the way to full...

It is cold right now, but not exactly freezing, so I’m at a loss as to what could have caused this!

 

I put like six gallons in it total; It was below three quarters of a tank before I refueled...

 

My new tire finally arrived; Going to get it now!

 

I always top off before I do DoorDash; I’ve had this truck more than 11 years and I’m proud to say I don’t think the low fuel light has ever come on!

 

When you say “Top off” , do you keep adding fuel AFTER the pump stops.
If so you really shouldn’t, as it can damage the Evap Canister.
This can lead to the pump clicking off prematurely.

As for the fuel gauge. I’d suspect the sending unit might be the cause.
It might have gotten hung up. Or it could be going bad.
I’d set the trip meter and monitor the distance you drive.
Fill up before you get to 300 miles. Just to be safe. Maybe even 200ish to be extra safe.
See what the fuel gauge does?

 

No, that was one of a few I used to have. Most of them were 3.0 V6 trucks but 1 was a 22RE and 1 was a 22RTE turbo truck. This was the turbo truck. I had to replace the turbo because it was cracked, but I honed out the new manifold and turbo housing and man, that truck would take off when it spooled up.

 

I have an ariens deluxe 24 and love it! Just cut through 16-18” with no problem or slowing down. Should be able to get a compact 24 for $800 if I remember correctly. However I will say I did some deep diving into comparisons and found it worth it to me to get the deluxe

 

My older (10yrs I think) 24" Craftsman has easily handled every storm with ease. Nothing fancy, manual controls and no headlight and highly maneuverable.



If I had to buy now, I'd go with a Toro.

 

Forgot to post these; Parking lot at work...

 

My mechanic had another customer’s Porsche wheels in the shop and I wanted to see how they looked...

 

New tire finally installed!

 

Took it to the carwash to get that blue stuff off...

 

Meeces love dog food. The place that the element sits is a wonderful little tight space that mice seem to love as storage.

OP's oven has an element that is accessed from the rear and you can't get to it from the inside of the oven.

 

Had a problem with the USB port where my iPod would charge but not play; Thought the extension cord was bad and ordered a new one on Amazon in anticipation of having to rip the dash apart for the umpteenth time this year...

Luckily, I told my neighbor of my plight and he recommended this stuff...




I sprayed it into the USB port while still in the AutoZone parking lot and got it working within minutes!
