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

This little guy (Or possibly girl? Aren't a lot of insects hermaphroditic?) hitched a ride on my Tacoma during a liquor run...

 

I know earth worms have male and female parts. I poorly dissected one in high school.

 

LOL You had to wait until high school? I dissected a frog and a worm in 7th grade!

 

I don't think I ever got to dissect a frog. Either that and we did but the trauma from the movie ET made me forget.

 

This thread is worthless without these 4 things.
High side pressure
Low side pressure
Ambient air temperature
Duct temperature

 

Yup. If the OP is that concerned he should buy a manifold/gauge set and learn how to read the numbers:





Re: "Venting is illegal in the USA." -- There are a lot of things we are not supposed to do...

 

Every car/truck I've ever been in shuts off the compressor under full load. Not sure if it's determined by RPM or load though... But sounds 100% normal!

 

Do you know which radio surround that is? The diamond finish looks closer to OEM than the one I used. Crutchfield.com sent me the Metra 95-8214T Dash Kit with my headunit. Overall fit and finish is okay... just smooth gray on the surround portion.

 

I've got another one in my garage if you want it... It's just missing the clips.

 

I can always re-use the clips from mine (I assume you mean the U-shaped plastic bits that go over the post) ... if it's in good shape and has all the parts (bezel, surround, DIN brackets), then maybe we can work something out.

 

You can just have it. I've got the single-DIN bracket, not the double-DIN...

 

Bummer... I'm looking for a double DIN setup like the one you have installed. Thanks for the offer though!

[EDIT] Additionally, I'm apparently losing my mind. I just went out and looked at my install, and the Metra kit does have the diamond finish.

 

Your a/c is fine..... the thing you don't want to do is open the a/c system to charge it unnecessarily and then introduce air or cause a leak, etc.

Don't poke the bear!!!!

 

i never measured mine, but i bet it would be close to that. I wish it was colder, but it works, just takes forever to get going. other cars ive had have been much colder, its a little weak

Heading back out, on a produce run this time...

This was the first time I ever remember seeing the produce place this crowded!

Main Street in Doylestown Borough on a Friday afternoon...


And what have we got here?


Too many people, and not enough sidewalk...


Seriously...?

People like the driver of this Mercedes E320 to my right are the reason I'm such a "horny" driver...

 

April 22nd, 2017:

These pics were all taken on a dreary Saturday, which happened to be Earth Day. In celebration of Earth Day, people everywhere had "Marches for Science." I have respect for people who exercise their constitutional rights to public assembly, but when the police shut down the center of town AND block access to the parking lot of your place of employment, solely because of what was obviously more of an anti-Trump rally than a "March for Science," you get a wee bit annoyed. The March for Science was cut short because of the rain, too...

The police are doing their jobs. The Central Bucks Regional Police Department (CBRPD) is awesome! I have absolutely no problems with the police whatsoever. My political beliefs do not matter either (there's a reason the voting booths have a curtain). What annoys me is that these protests are ALWAYS at or in the immediate vicinity of the local Starbucks at the intersection of Main Street and State Street, and it often creates a HUGE traffic jam. Go down to Philly, where traffic-related delays will barely be noticed, and protest there!

Three CBRPD patrol vehicles blocking Printer's Alley:


THAT futhermucking intersection again...



If I remember correctly, this was the day I filled in as a delivery driver at Coach's Hoagie House (my friend owns the place):


This is the intersection where protests ALWAYS take place in the Borough:


And to the right, we see a vehicle that for some reason is considered a "Truck" by PennDOT standards:


Groundhog Day moment:


It still amazes me how many people I see make right turns at this intersection in spite of all the highly visible signs:


A bit of a traffic jam on East State Street:


And the damn Wawa again:
