I like the lines and how they draw your gaze naturally towards the apex of...trash


haha

 

Welp. My wife and I are hooked on the show after smashing through 4 episodes tonight already.

 

Awesome! It's a good one! Well worth watching. John Smith is one hell of a character.

 

Thats one show I just never could get into. Even gave it more of a chance than most shows Im not enjoying as I watched all of Season 1 and a few of Season 2. Just moved way to slow and I couldnt stand the main characters.

 

Huh you might be the only person I've heard who didn't like it. Especially after making it so far.

But fair enough!

 

Don't think it helped I read the book a bit before watching the series. The wife and I will usually give a series at least three episodes before deciding if we like it or not. Man in the high castle just worked out since I had to cover a 6pm to 6am shift for a week and it was for one specific job so had some downtime to watch it at work lol.

There's been quite a few "highly rated" shows the wife and I have been pretty meh on.

 

Ah yeah nothing ever lives up to the book usually.

I try to make it half way through any series or season 1 to get it time. Often the first parts are rougher.

Sometimes you get one though that's best early on and dies after that

 

I do my best to not compare books to movies/tv. Especially in tv shows when it's based on a single, 200-300 page book.

Basing off the first episode or two is always hard. Like with man in the high castle the first episode was done as a pilot so you know they are going to make sure it looks great to sell they show.

Mini series and British (even European) shows are where it's at. 4-8 episode seasons so not as much filler, just story.

 

Yeah I love those. Chernobyl was fantastic if you ha e seen that

 

Yup enjoyed Chernobyl. The Hot Zone was another pretty good one. McMillions (about the McDonalds Monopoly rigging) was good in the interesting sense. Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson was good too. The one from a few ears ago. The most recent one I didnt overly care for.

 

I'll have to check so e of those out. You see the defiant ones? About Dr Dre and Jimmy iveen? Super good

 

Hadn't even heard of it so I'll have to check it out.

 

I cut the muffler off of my Tacoma. Dear Lord I knew the 5vz sounded bad, but no muffler it's worse than all the Honda four cylinders put together. It makes a viper v10 not sound shitty. it's basically everything that's wrong with the world all wrapped up in one horrible exhaust note. Toyota outdid themselves with the engineering of this engine it lasts amazing and is easy to work on. But in all configurations but 100% silent it sounds like dog shit

 

If you're asking, why cut the muffler off if you hate the sound... Well I cut the OEM style one off to.put an even quieter setup on because hearing it at all is torture. It takes the fun out of having a loud exhaust. I really hope the extra flair from the turbo makes it better cause I don't really want a quiet vehicle. Makes me miss the 4 banger

 

lol I think it's funny you don't like the exhaust. I'm rather fond of it. But then again I have 3.

My single cab is silent though exhaust wise. Kind of boring. But nice at the same time. Same with igor. both stock. Pretty quite. Frank is..well not as you know.


Also rando question. @Speedytech7 the charcol canister on my single cab is so simple. All it has is a port from the tank, purge and then I think it's a drain on the bottom? It just leads down to a hose that is stuck in the frame. Is this thing actually doing anything? I ask because I am going to move it a touch in the bay to make room for my wiring stuff. But was looking at it and thinking that maybe I could just pull it.




And what all do you guys like for a nut sert tool? Im going to grab one.







I finished my mirror light brackets, turned out quite good actually. Just paint now. But looking forward to having those done.

 

It's giving me a newfound fondness for noise ordinance laws. If I can get it 100% silent I can at least enjoy the truck more. I do miss that 4 banger though, honestly sounded good and the power difference was negligible.

I 100% recommend the Astro Pneumatic one, even comes with some M6 and M8 inserts

Yeah the earlier models, 95 and below (like every toyota has that can before 96) use those. You have the line from the tank, the purge valve, and the over pressure relief (which the newer box has too, it's just hidden). But unless you like the smell of fuel when your parked in the sun or after the engine is off, I'd leave it. EVAP system gets pissy without it anyway. Only thing the 95 and below canister is missing compared to the newer and obviously cheaper to make boxes, is a tank pressure sensor.

 

Looks nice. Doesn't seem like it'd be easy to use in a lot of situations. But still handy. I'll grab it.

Hm darn. Well I'll just move it it closer to the fire wall. Only need like 1.5'' of clearance I think for the SP9100 to fit how I'd want.




Also..


This is a cool tool. Totally going to get it. Will use it to make my bracket for the Sp9100 out of 16ga. Should work great for that. Pretty cool thing without having to get lots of other things and takes up no space(which is pretty important for me right now).

Will find out how good it is. Can't be worse that clamping shit in my vise and beating it with a hammer haha

 

That's a clever invention, the vise won't thank you for it, but as long as you stick with thin metal it'll be good. I use a similar contraption in my press.

 

yeah dad has the press at the house and there are lots of cool options for that thing. I get to take it when i have the space but don't for now. So no good there.

But this thing will work good for 16ga and up to 1/8'' which is all Im working with mainly right now. So should work fine.

Hopefully.. ha

 

So guys, I'm trying to remove the driver side door cover and got stuck and looking for ideas. I think I've stripped out the allen/jis head on the left (rearwards) bolt that holds the skin on. The right one is loose but can't get a bite on the left one. Any ideas or suggestions.
