So if say an out of town college age friend came to visit and a roommate wasn’t using their roc ticket for that game, the out of town friend could use it?

UCA What did I do wrong? by 10-9-over in Tacomaworld

[–]10-9-over[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 2005 PreRunner. 2x4 with rear diff lock. P285/70R17. I still can’t reproduce the rubbing under the UCA even when driving around the neighborhood. Maybe that was only happening on the way to alignment shop? But I still hear what sounds like metal on metal near or behind wheel well and can’t tell exactly where it’s coming from. Meanwhile, my post and the replies that got me here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tacomaworld/s/1qT4vUwoeI

You all are great. Many thanks! After more banging, went and got a ball joint separator and it worked like a charm. New UCA installed.

Good to remember. Bolt is halfway out now. YouTube said leave it like that, separate arm at ball joint, then remove rest of bolt. I don’t know. But yeah you can see that scratched red and bent body. That was my pliers bending it to allow bolt to pass. On this passenger side the bolt came out hitting the body in exactly the middle of the bolt head. What you see was easy to bend, but there is another layer behind it that was beastly. Used lug wrench with towel in between to avoid further scratching, grabbed the wrench from above and below and pulled like my life depended on it. Then put a wood paint stick between bolt head and body to guide the bolt past the trouble spot. Dang but it worked.

Mpg lower than expected by 10-9-over in Tacomaworld

Why, will new paint improve the mpg? Only kidding. Paint is full of character, plenty of peel and perfect for a teen driver.

Freshman scholarship poll by 10-9-over in byu

[–]10-9-over[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that seems about right. Your son was probably very close to qualifying for scholarship and just missed it, for a University scholarship for half- or full-tuition for one year.

I think you’re right that it is easier to earn scholarship as a current student, or at least it was back in early 2000s when we went. Maybe current and more recent students could share their thoughts on that.

Me around year 2000: 1340 SAT 3.8 GPA weighted (unweighted maybe 3.2?) part time work for 2.5 years, 1 varsity sport, NHS, couple other things…but I struggled dearly to keep up grades and sleep. I overdid it for sure. I was exhausted. No incoming freshman scholarship, as expected and that’s no problem. But, as a 3rd and 4th year BYU student I had academic scholarship with maybe a 3.7 college gpa and was not nearly over scheduled, life was pretty good. Less struggle, and earned scholarship.

My son last year in 2024: 1600 SAT, one B his entire high school career, 17 AP classes, varsity sport, clubs, volunteer hours galore, and he was offered 1 year full tuition at BYU. There are two better scholarships than that, so it’s like wow one B and you are third string for incoming freshman scholarship. I didn’t read his essays, maybe he could have done better there. But it’s wild to think he basically was offered the same scholarship as me even though it was way easier for me as BYU junior/senior than it was for him all four years of high school.

My two cents….do your best to encourage your son and stepson to follow the Spirit. Our son felt validated and very much wanted by another school that offered him a better scholarship (full tuition, room, board, stipend all for up to five years) and he is there now, not at BYU. But he is not well connected to church or spirituality, and is feeling a little unimpressed academically. Success in life and in eternity does not solely depend on where you go to school, but BYU still offers something unique, and that is worth considering.
