It's got that Costco full synth in it, I don't think the oil has more than 8k on it

 

What about this cover? I feel like it’s a WAY better fit for the band.

That's that good shit, I was gonna stock up but they're far enough away that it was cheaper to just buy the Fram 5W30 full synthetic which isn't warren but I assume it's comparable bulk mfg l. It was $2 more than SuperTech but I'll pay that to avoid Walmart lol

 

Isnt it like $40 for 10 quarts? God like price for the quality

When my grandpa passed he had like 6 cases of 12 quarts new stored away. He was the king of maintaining shitbox fleets lol

 

The problem with internet pictures is what paint code is that?

 

60s speedboat metal flake blue, or some really shiny bedliner

That's much better, done in their style, though admittedly I'm not familiar with the original

 

Now onto chasing boost leaks on the Ford lol

 

I’m over here mowing weeds to make the backyard look less terrible.

In my fantasy world, the fix involves diesel fuel and a lighter…

 

Just draw out exactly the part you need and I could get whatever you need from it and send it your way

 

I'm considering making my blank slate of a front "yard" all clover. It grows easy, and stays green. I have a water feature and a nice porch, I don't need a damn lawn really. House is already too nice for the street it's on.

 

Clover yards are pretty

 

What was left of the lawn in our backyard noped out pretty quick because it went from full shade to no shade after two gigantic cottonwood trees were removed. Now it’s just fucking weeds and I hate it.

Clover can be really nice, though, and pretty hardy from what I’ve heard.

 

My front yard gets no shade, infact all the weeds died this year thats how dry it is haha, but it needs something and I think clover would stay green

Pic for reference haha

 

Hell yeah, clover would look great there!

I'm so over a lawn at this point. Especially after looking at pictures of all of the stuff that’s surfacing as Lake Mead recedes. I just see no need for it in the West nowadays if there’s any truth to this 1200 year drought event. But I’m just one dude offset against a gang of entitled boomers living in Vegas, St. George, Phoenix, etc. out there spraying off their driveways at 3:00 in July. Not to mention the damn golf courses.

Sigh… I’m salty. Don’t mind me haha

 

I'm in full agreement, the entire existence of the shithole that is the Phoenix metro area is just a waste. I left and I have no motivation to ever return to the state of Arizona for any reason (grand canyon is cool, but its a crack in the ground seen it once, you're good), only nice place I visited was Flagstaff but hey it looks like here so I don't need to visit again. Best part of Arizona for me was getting to go on wheeling trips that took me out of the state. No one needs to live in the Vegas metro area either, who would miss Henderson, NV anyway?

 

Preach

Vegas is such a blight on the planet. I grew up an hour and a half away, and it took me about two trips to the strip clubs and getting wasted to realize it’s all a goddam mirage. And it doesn’t help that it’s literally located where no sane person would ever put a metropolitan area. Also, you’ll never see sketchier people anywhere like you will in and around that cesspool.

As for yards and stuff, we have grand plans to xeriscape the crap out of everything. We’ll put potted plants in strategic spots and that’ll be that. I want to enjoy my yard and I’m sick of it detracting from this awesome house and shop. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of work to keep the weeds at bay and the front lawn looking mediocre at best.

 

I'm going to clover over our back yard. Maybe the front too. But the grass in the back is all but annihilated with the watering restrictions and how trampled it gets with our daughter running around. And clover is nice and soft, unlike running around on St Augustine grass feeling like you're stepping on crumpled up cardstock

 

Apparently clover produces it's own nitrogen and thus does well in malnourished yards ... so it should thrive in ours

 

Found a 3rd gen T4R online, 4wd with stick shift and e-locker.... with the 2.7. Didn't realize that combo came with the 4cyl.

 

Found a boost leak, not sure it's the primary one, i suspect the EGR is leaking boost but I guess we'll have to go for a rip and see if I can build 35 again lol
