    I've been running a strobe for over 20 years without issue, but it's always hidden so kids can't look directly into it...

    How long do these last? The outside lights at my house are a pain in the ass to change bulbs in, because the fixtures have to be disassembled; The LEDs that were in there were supposed to last for years, but one of them was already burned out when I put the purple bulbs in!

    :annoyed:

    the ones you have will be nicer. the color leds are only diffused, not the clear incandescent you have. the incandescent looks way better.

    They claim 25,000 hours. My living room is these, I liked them because I can control the brightness and color of the white with my phone. But they also do every other color imaginable

    I am so sick of that song; I swear that Baby Shark is actually an ancient chant that opened a portal to hell back in 2020!

    My cousin's toddler loves Baby Shark, but the one song guaranteed to calm her down is "Ballroom Blitz"...

    Anybody who went to drive the truck without realizing there was a fake baby zip tied to the back bumper might think there's a real baby back there upon putting the truck in reverse!

    Almost 140K miles on the clock, approved for a frame replacement by Toyota, and still working in shitty weather during a global pandemic!

    I am not gonna be doing a whole hell of a lot of driving in the next week, but I'm probably still gonna be hitting 140K miles within that timeframe anyway; Getting approved for a free-to-me frame replacement could not have come at better time!

    DE2E8A19-5080-42BC-8A37-EC884B0BEB33.jpg

    140K miles is way past when most people would have gotten a new vehicle, but we're in the middle of a global pandemic, and the prices of both new and used vehicles have gone into the stratosphere; Thanks to this frame replacement, I'm gonna have this truck another decade!

    I have so many posts and threads on TW that I did not see this post until just now; Toyota DOES NOT replace the upper control arms?

    I'll buy those then; How much do you think those should cost? If the dealer wants too much I can get a deal on them through my mechanic and then leave them with the truck when the dealer replaces the frame...
