    Those LCAs look like they will give a massive steering angle increase.

    I’m Filipino, please don’t eat me :rofl:
    I love pineapple Peño pizza, I’ve only met one person before you that did too. Not crazy!

    sometimes it’s in Thai food, helps balance when it’s super spicy (for me)

    You should go to
    Kohl’s and get yourself their brand of jeans in flexware style they fit well. They don’t look like skinny jeans and are rugged too. Jeans are not meant to be washed every day. Wear them a few days as long as they are not covered in grease an dirt you’ll be good. plus never dry your jeans in the dryer hang them to dry drying the jeans in the dryer is nowadays heat settings are too high and I destroy the fibers and then if Jeans don’t last that long

    My coworkers wife is Filipino and they gave me a bottle of their banana catch up and let me tell you that’s the greatest shit out there. It’s got a lot more sugar in it though more than Heinz ketchup and it taste great.

    I actually don't have trouble finding jeans. I have mostly Levi's, but Duluth makes some good ones too. It's mostly shirts that are tough.

    High Lawn Farm in Lee, MA has great ice cream too, and their chocolate milk is the best I have ever had. They also have really good cheese. They have a small store at the farm and serve it in cones and bowls there but you can also find their milk and ice cream in some stores in Western MA.

    For those of you with kids, the main barn is open to the public. The cows like attention and the kids can see/pet them.

    Just looking on line at a dealer's used stock, I noticed a 2020 Tacoma SR5 4DSB with about 3,000 miles more than my 2019 SR5 listed for $36K. Wow.

    So just reviewed the spark plugs I pulled out before I tossed them. They were gaped around 44 45 for all of them but one worries me slightly. Thoughts? Brown orange on the porcelain?

    That's called corona stain. Normal according to NGK. Static electricity around plug attracts dirt and oil particles

    Perfect! Now the only paranoia will be if I cross threaded the new ones. Guess I'll find out in the next 30-40k miles lol

    ALWAYS start spark plugs in by hand and tighten them finger tight until they bottom out. Then, just a quick turn with the ratchet to make sure they are snug. Even in the days of cast iron heads, we never wanted to cross thread a spark plug. You'd look awfully silly having to pull the intake and a head to rethread the spark plug hole because you couldn't get a tap in their to rethread it.

    I do that to this day on my snow blower and my friend's lawn mower.
