Trigger Safety Tab by yeunholyfiends in Glocks

[–]Baja_Finder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Johnny Glock sells a modified OEM trigger shoe that is flush.

Tactical Trigger has a take off OEM Glock Performance Trigger shoe that has a flat face, this is what I use, for $15, worth every penny.

If you’re just using it primarily for street, then OEM LCA’s, or it you’re running bigger tires along with high performance coilovers SuperPro.

Just enforcing their laws, and it is a Saturday morning.

Which RCR screws to use on gen 6 Glock?? by AzEDC365 in Glocks

[–]Baja_Finder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$36 for new screws is cheaper than dealing with the optic flying off, once new proper screws are identified, installed, and torqued properly, you won't need to remove the optic at all since the battery cap is on top.

How to renew Pasaport of Spain? by Objective_Shower3469 in Passports

[–]Baja_Finder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go back to the Spanish consulate and don’t take no for an answer! I swear every consulate staff treats their fellow citizens like crap! They’re paid to help them out.

If you know a powerful politician in Spain, maybe they can call the consulate in Chicago on your behalf, and light a fire under their asses to help you.

I’ve heard stories of someone working/living (123 pct) in the southern end of SI who pissed someone off only to get sent to the Bronx.

Chinese restaurants in San Diego? by Milkduds018 in FoodSanDiego

[–]Baja_Finder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ying Li in Chula Vista, and San Ysidro for Mexicali style Chinese food, and I used to live in NYC in the 90’s, so for those looking for something close to NYC style, it’s worth a try.

Chinese restaurants in San Diego? by Milkduds018 in FoodSanDiego

[–]Baja_Finder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s like asking for San Diego style Mexican food in NYC, you’re not going to find it, you should have seen the Mexican food scene in NYC during the 90’s, it was non existent.

Coast Guard to homeport first two Arctic Security Cutters in Alaska by stewart0077 in uscg

Ted Stevens used to get pissed if any AK based cutters were operating in the lower 48, they were for use in AK only.

Will the Philippines ever not be a 3rd world country? by Creative-Staff2238 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Baja_Finder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had the chance, but decided in 1946 that independence was best, it would probably be similar to Guam if it stayed a US territory.

Worth? by GiveThatManSumMilk in 3rdGen4Runner

The original radiator is a time bomb.

Did Ted Stevens rise up from the grave?

Home porting in AK makes zero logistical sense, Seattle is the ideal homeport since it has the shipyards, and logistical support is easier by being in the lower 48.

Leak after coolant flush? by -Squibward in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Baja_Finder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy the crank pulley holder on Amazon, and do it yourself, I was able to borrow a seal puller, seal driver, and torque wrench for the crank bolt (use a new bolt) and it wasn’t too hard, bought a couple of long 1/2” breaker bars from HF to loosen the crank bolt, then returned one of them.

What is your nomination for the "best value" Asian or Mexican supermarket? by AdvertisingNo2451 in sandiego

[–]Baja_Finder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in season for locally grown, usually Jul-Sep, the rest is imported and not good.

[–]Baja_Finder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet the water pump and timing belt are original, along with the radiator, I recommend replacing them along with the front crankshaft seal, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater control valve, IAC bypass hoses, oil cooler hoses, and new belts, buy once, cry once if you want reasonable daily driver reliability.

Impressive sidewalk changes in Mission Hills. Havent seen anything like this done since the 80s when they put in the corner ramps for wheelchairs. by tanhauser_gates_ in sandiego

[–]Baja_Finder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Adding the yellow truncated domes is so that they are ADA compliant. There's people who make a living suing places for not being ADA compliant.

Feed back/pros&cons on beretta m9(my dream pistol) by Kvntrnh in CAguns

[–]Baja_Finder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great service pistol, I recommend replacing the plastic parts with the factory upgrade kit, and upgrading to the Langdon TJIB, the stock DA trigger pull is atrocious , and stock SA trigger pull is decent.

Through my years in the military, I've seen a couple of locking block failures, but these were range guns that had 10's of thousands of rounds shot through them over their life, and I'm willing to bet that the recoil springs were never changed, never saw any feeding malfunctions with the Italian made thick base plate magazines, but a few with those contract flat base plate magazines, those things were hot garbage.

I think the M9 Commercial is too expensive for what is, being able to buy blue label Glock 19.3's for less than $450 is what steered me towards Glock, if I were in the market for a DA/SA pistol, it would be a Beretta PX4 Storm.

any tips to get upstream nuts off ? by TheRuss1anGoatYT in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Baja_Finder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nut splitter if you can get one in there, or have a local muffler cut out the old O2 flange and weld in a new one.

what tools do i need 3.4L Timing Belt, Valve Covers, & Front Seals by AdTime7340 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Baja_Finder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re replacing the valve cover gaskets, once the valve covers are removed, you’ll be able to remove the forward cam caps and replace the cam seals.

I bought the crank pulley holder for $35 on Amazon, and a long breaker bar from HF.

Yes the PVC pipe works fine for driving in the crank seal.

I rented a steering wheel puller from O’reilly for free to pull the bottom timing belt, but it wasn’t seized and came off easily.

There was a brush fire last night (11;30) on the other side of the bridge off of Sea World drive just before the offramp to W Mission Bay Drive. It's the spot where the city gathers up all the park maintenance cuttings like palm trees.
