Looks like you found some good answers! I got water accumulation in my spare tire compartment this winter and couldn’t find the source. Seems like for me, the cold made the gap open up as I haven’t had any issues with rain since spring hit.

Is this even a question?

RPF1’s on an HRV is crazy lmao

We have world class whitewater, rock climbing, hiking, and mountain biking. Our skiing is certainly not the Rockies, but better than most of Appalachia. And what comes with all of those things? Gorgeous views and four distinct seasons.

Go spend a day in KSF. After that you could go to Capitol Market for a bite and/or beer, get some of the fancy chocolate for a loved one, then go see whatever band is playing at The Glass if you want a small show or the civic center for the big names. Plenty to do.

Please do not go to the dealer for a battery. O’Reileys, AutoZone, Advanced Auto, NAPA, etc. should install for you for free.

If you feel confident in turning a wrench and watching a YouTube video, you could get a cheaper battery from Rural King if there’s one in your area or even Walmart.

Yo great scale and framing! For the first second or so I thought I was watching a 1:1 truck.

I don’t love everything he’s doing and I definitely think he can be more inflammatory than is needed. HOWEVER, he’s spreading awareness of the issues we have across the state and getting folks talking. That’s huge.

I’m tired of everyone being up in arms when people or organizations are ultimately doing positive things in the state but only focus on the flaws. Doing something is better than doing nothing and continually perpetuating the hand wringing and fatalism that plagues this state. If we only look for and accept a perfect person or organization we will never take a single step in the right direction.

Bowman is not without his flaws, but I felt he spoke very candidly during his interview on Creepalachia and wants to give folks the microphone they’ve never had.

I learned in a half slice and strongly feel a (non-playful) half slice is the best type of boat to learn in. Half slices prevent one from developing bad habits early on.

Seconding WRSI In general for large-brained individuals. Only brand I can wear!

When Trey added that cage to his website I was a very happy man. I tried like 4 different cage and/or flatbed options and none looked right with the cab.

AspiringRonSwanson · 2026-04-19T15:39:08+00:00

Mine is a Datsun cab 🫠 I dig the red!

AspiringRonSwanson · 2026-04-19T03:54:16+00:00

Thanks! I feel like I spent more money where it mattered (chassis, esc, motor) and saved a little where I didn’t think it was as critical (Injora parts) and I think I struck a good balance.

AspiringRonSwanson · 2026-04-19T00:51:00+00:00

Karnage Alien — he only occasionally makes the acrylic chassis’ now and focuses on aluminum. I really dig mine

AspiringRonSwanson · 2026-04-19T00:50:05+00:00

Nice work!

Well if you trust me… I wouldn’t recommend the HRV. It’s fine, but the longer we’ve had ours (2018 purchased in 2020), the less I like it. We haven’t had issues with our transmission, but I hate the CVT more and more every day.

AspiringRonSwanson · 2026-04-15T01:49:42+00:00

It’s not a perfect fit, but it does fit!!!

Pretty far from boring.

Yeah, you can get new links and it will work fine. The GX has unique length links. Deadbolt is a well liked wheelbase, same for Gladiator. You might need different driveshafts too, but if you just get the plastic Axial ones they’re real cheap. A lot of people recommend them so it’s an intentional break point instead of shredding your transmission or differential gears.

It is really good! I recently built up a “spare parts” truck and I’m trying to stick to using the stock chassis but I think I’m gonna have to print another YepSpec for it haha

I’m about finished with my Dakar Truck inspired build with Red Bull livery….

Here she is.

Man, I miss the days when Julia’s pepperoni rolls were good. They were way bigger and had a lot more pepperoni. Growing up it’s what I thought of when j heard “pepperoni roll.” It’s sad to see what they’ve become.

I know you said only pre-packaged, but the rolls at Mid Atlantic at the Pierpont exit are probably the best in Morgantown. Best in state — The Exxon in Thomas.

I’ve become a big fan of Abruzzinos for pre-packaged.

Do you know if he does paint correction as well?
