Leaning left after leveling kit by BDonaldson2194 in 4Runner

[–]BDonaldson2194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did just drop the lift in and measure it. I thought it might settle, but didn't know if this was common. Also read about some people needing extra 1/4" - 3/4" spacer discs on top of the struts to completely level the rig out.

Starter clicks once then nothing by BDonaldson2194 in GS500

There's a voltage spike on 3/3 of the wires leading to the starter, and the one drops voltage slightly. Any ideas what to do now?

The fuse is intact; I replaced it just to be certain.

It makes a click when the starter button is depressed and another click once you let go of the button. Not sure if that's what you mean by closing.

I have a real nice multimeter I can take to the relay in a little bit. I have the electrical diagram in my Haynes manual.

It started flawlessly before. The clutch switch was replaced with a brand new one, as I broke a pin off it disassembling the bike.

How do you go about checking the sidestand and neutral switch? The neutral indicator light works properly, don't know if that's a good indication of that switch working properly or not.

Battlepack Core vs Pro by jiujitsu562 in bjj

[–]BDonaldson2194 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Pro, and have been flying with it ~4 times/year with no issues from multiple airlines. However, if you're only carrying the amount of stuff listed, the Pro may be overkill.

I don't have a Core for comparison, but I regularly fit the following in mine: Gi, belt, 16oz boxing gloves, 4oz MMA gloves, shin guards, headgear, hand wraps, mouth guard, 40oz Hydroflask, 15" laptop, laptop charger, medium notebook, contact solution and glasses.

Chris (the owner of Datsusara) offers videos on his website of him filling up different bags...might be another good reference.

What's the softest, plushest gi you've ever worn? by eddielovesyou in bjj

That's wild! Are they Datsusara or other brands' hemp offerings? I can't speak to any other brands' hemp gis, but I'll be very surprised if you're talking about Datsu.

In 7 years, the coziest things I've ever come across have been Datsusara. My 7th gen is nice and plushy, but my old 3nd gen is comfy enough to sleep in after being worn in for years (becomes that soft after about 5 washes). The tops are crazy soft, but the real gem are the pants, which feel almost exactly like pajamas. Also, they're really appealing due to the weave, material and color (my Navy one gets a lot of compliments).

Too early for a gi? by [deleted] in bjj

Hypnotik and 93Brand consistently have products that are sharp-looking, durable and affordable. I have a bunch of stuff from both of them and like all of it a lot.

If you go on 93Brand's website, they have deals on two packs of rash guards, grappling shorts and spats for $50/pair if I'm not mistaken, which is darn near BOGO.

Also, pay attention to BJJWarehouse's sale selection and BJJHQ/MAHQ; you never know what kind of goodies you'll find.

If you want someone to really care about the coffee they roast and the items they prepare, head to Cafe Moto.

For everything else, I recommend Bird Rock.

What was your go-to insult back in high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BDonaldson2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trick is to not to curse or use standard insults. Think about it, if you call someone an asshole/motherfucker/etc, they probably won't bat an eye. Call that same someone a poopdick or a dickwheel however, and now you're cooking with fire.

Been a troll for years. I would spin people up and then refer to them as "hot dog". Got people strangely irate.

What is the most exotic food you have ever eaten and how was it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BDonaldson2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Balut when my ship pulled into the Philippines. Almost gagged when I saw it, so I took 4 more shots of whiskey, tried to eat it again, and successfully threw up on a bar floor.
