well, I knew this day would come. Going to spend all of my money replacing the roof lmao

 

Well I'm not about to cut another 5/32 into em either I haven't been driving it because the Corolla is pretty much all I drive if I'm not driving the truck

 

You get into cutting thicker metal, and the learning curve gets steeper.

All 1/4"

 

Yeah. All of the devices I deal with are on private networks that are usually airgapped from the internet, but our programmers seem to have never left a data center. If we’re lucky they might update every 6 months. It’s a never ending battle to remind them that not everyone is on version n, and that I’m still dealing with their bugs from version n - 4


Sigh

 

I wouldn’t get anything other than OEM. It has too important of a job.

 

Let me know how Walmart works out they have my Yokohama geolandar m/t the cheapest shipped to Hawaii but dealing with Wally World is usually sus

 

Rodger. Gonna try source a used oem one because broke

 

Try to find a low mileage one.

 

At least your superiors make that amendment.... my wild west ass owner doesn't know the special differences from one piece of equipment to the next and just asks the to take a picture and send it to us. For us to figure out exactly what he needs

 

That’s one of the differences between a product from a well organized business and an overgrown hobby project.

 

*If you have an airbag

 

Yeah I am one the fence on if I want awd in a sports sedan. I like that the back wiggles when I want but don't like the lack of grip when it gets slick out like today.

And I am not all that worried about finding a shop. I heard horror stories about AMG, Mini, Land Rovers, etc and honestly it feels overblown. Sure there's some extra costs but I think most things I can do myself. C'mon, awd diesel wagon would be cool and unique.

 

It's not overblown and you are 100% just coasting on luck. That said a lot of things are fixable way cheaper than those diesels even though you'll still spend a ton if something goes wrong with one of the gassers it'll be less so than with the diesel that absolutely zero people in the states know how to work on

 

Yeah this will be my first time going through anyone but America's Tire (Discount Tire). Hope I don't have ragerts

 

i had Walmart mount a set of 38.5" super swampers that the chain places wouldn't touch. It worked out but it took them like 6 hours to do it lmao

 

You're too young for that, is that Era something you learned about in computer science history class?

 

Your expressed experiences help fuel my desire to not purchase real estate

 

100% truth


This company has SOOOO much potential. Regretfully, until the bossman retires or had a serious come to Jesus moment, we'll never be more than an overgrown hobby

 

@Wulf do drum brake dually 14bolts have any value?

 

Yeah, they're worth $150-350. The overwhelming majority of them are drum brake

The drums get chucked in the trash, Lugnut4x4 and a few others make disk brake conversions.
