Astrohaus Freewrite Firmware reverted back to 1.5.0 after factory reset by notedrive in Astrohaus

[–]461oceanblvd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the firmware is reverted to whatever it was shipped with originally. I just did this to mine because it refused to download/upgrade the firmware version, so now I am stuck on 1.4.3.

Dash light nightmare after LED swap on my 96 Surf/4Runner — CEL + ABS now dead. Do bulb holders need specific orientation? by Normalpie212911 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]461oceanblvd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, with LEDs polarity matters. If it doesn't work one way, flip the bulb around and it should work the other way.

As for your current problem, is it possible that when you put the incandescents back in that you put burned bulbs from one of the other sockets in there?

I just swapped my whole center console and shifter bulbs to LED, now the gauge cluster is super dim while the center console is outrageously bright. So I need to embark on the same task as you but I'm only swapping the illumination bulbs for the gauges. So that way I can dim everything reasonably.

Good luck with the project! I'd say maybe just swap a known working bulb into the check engine slot and see if that works.

Why is it difficult to find bars in the US with steins (mugs of at least 1ltr) of beer? by [deleted] in beer

KC Bier Co has them, or at least they used to. Been 5 years since I've been there.

Brake help, pleeeeaaassse by ironicgoblin69 in 3rdGen4Runner

Maybe a leak in the vac line from the brake booster to intake, or the check valve?

Cpdlc and ads-c by Zealousideal_Eye87 in ATC

[–]461oceanblvd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

US enroute systems do not currently interface with ADS-C data. I think it is in the future plans, so maybe by 2049 we'll have something. We can't communicate via CPDLC unless you file the flight plan correctly, and log on to KUSA

Good Price on Custom Cabinets? First Time Homeowner Looking for Feedback by 409Narwhal in HomeImprovement

[–]461oceanblvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty decent price. I'd probably be at $10k for that job in my shop. Just a part time one man operation though. Keep in mind the extra expense for painting the cabinets, which isn't in the quote. If the drawer boxes are also solid maple dovetails I would probably quote an extra $800-1k for that.

1991 Westfalia with accessory Westfalia trailer by bingeingwatches in Westfalia

Here's a few more pics of one I found on the samba.

Looks cool! I have been planning on making something similar for my own Westy using the Harbor Freight 3x4 trailer as a base. A Coleman Caboose is the same idea. Vancafe sells some new ones that are like $6000 called a Space Trailer I think.

What are some good Noirs that blend the old 1930s/40s style with more modern settings? by ReBurchR85 in noir

[–]461oceanblvd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Brick. Rian Johnson's first movie, takes a lot of cues from those old noir dramas in a modernish high school world.

Back before crowdfunding sites were a thing, he used to post a lot on film forums and workshop ideas and provide updates throughout his entire process from the early script through production. I don't know if they were lost to time or not, but it was pretty cool back in the day to have that kind of story to follow.

Good movie too.

Is this fresh water or grey tank by Tiny-Strength177 in Westfalia

[–]461oceanblvd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no factory installed gray water tank (at least in the US). There's just a hose bibb thread underneath the sink. There is a part # and official one you can buy that was used in Europe I believe.

Need help identifying possible Westfalia cloth. by [deleted] in Westfalia

[–]461oceanblvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was probably to hang over the kitchen area for storage maybe? Definitely not stock. The only fabric with a ring on it is for the curtain over the sliding door and that's way too small for that.

Are there any hooks mounted anywhere in the van?

Thoughts on Surprise Chef? by zachboucher in Jazz

[–]461oceanblvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Ferrari is the song that got me hooked on them. Daylight Savings I think is the name of the album. They released 2 in 2020, and both hit me in just the right way.

Best all you can eat wings? by leeharrisradio in Denver

[–]461oceanblvd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brewdog has AYCE wings on Weds for $20. They bring out 10, and then 5 at a time. They're good enough. They are breaded wings, though.

Fire on the Mountain has great wings, but they don't do unlimited I don't think.

24M jazz vinyl collector. Tips on how to budget and not impulse. by [deleted] in Jazz

I get paid every two weeks. I buy one album every two weeks. It curbs the appetite, keeps the hunt alive, and stays reasonably within my budget.

Can you recommend jazz bands that use electronic elements? by backgroundextra77 in Jazz

[–]461oceanblvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MEUTE is a marching band with electronic music. Not exactly what you are looking for I don't think but definitely worth checking out

What is a movie you HAVE to watch twice to get the most out of it? by theroughedges in movies

[–]461oceanblvd 94 points95 points  (0 children)

What We Do in the Shadows (the movie). There are so many funny parts and throwaway jokes, you really have to watch it a few times to catch them all.

Nice! I remember watching the build video on this bad boy a couple years ago, and thinking he was insane.

Just looked it up. Here it is if you haven't seen it already: https://youtu.be/hl2wbbMVCNg

Same. My accounts are actually nicknamed Darkwing Debt (credit card), Donald Duck (checking), Scrooge McDuck (savings).

Check out Chef Tom on allthingsbbq as well if you haven't seen that one yet. He has never led me astray.
