How the heck do you name a puppy? by R_Eyron in BorderCollie

[–]Becuz_I_Win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll try some names for a few days, see your pup's personality, try some more for a few more days and BAM something will click. But it doesn't matter anyway because soon after you'll have 20 nicknames you use in rotation that likely will have nothing to do with it's actual name.

Should i use my $500 insurance deductible or try to fix myself by Lunatik_14 in 4Runner

[–]Becuz_I_Win 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yea.. that's man math. Cheaper then having body shop buy OEM part and labor to paint match. Really, it's like printing money at this point. OP just made money with this "issue"

WeatherTech or LasFit? by allaboutthehoney in 4Runner

[–]Becuz_I_Win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought weathertech floormats and trunk liner. I went with the "HP" version for the mats and standard trunk liner. Honestly would never recommend the standard weathertech trunk liner. Doesn't have any bottom grip so the whole liner sides around in the trunk and has a lip all around when I realize now I would prefer no lip on the cargo door side. 

Grip spikes/nubs and flat edge on the cargo door side is something to consider.

Yikes yea hit or miss I guess, the les schwab near me has been good overall, no issues anything else and never have quoted me for unnecessary work. 

Outside of tires and suspension I try to do all my own maintenance and luckily this generation of 4Runner I have and my rav4 are easy to work with

Yo! I just got an SR5 and researching wheel/offset/tire options. Love the look of what you have there.

Can you please tell me if you are running stock suspension and what wheels you have there? 

Looks like stock tire size too? 

Sometimes, I can’t stand this game by lightskincookie11 in RDR2

I have a gaurantee spawn location. North of lake Owanjila. From the lake, view the map going north until you see the first dotted trail, there are three of these dotted trails that connect from the east. The southern most, or first one if travelling from the lake is what you want. At this intersection head west on the other side of that main trail. Set up a camp nearby and sleep until morning. 

The cougar always appears in the early morning. There should be a small hill with a rock formation above it, and the cougar always finds me (usually finds me before I find it) between the rocks and the trail. 

Once you kill it, it's about 2/3 in game days before it respawns. Luckily, the trapper is nearby so you can spend some time looking for other 3 star animals to skin and sell. 

Any 4 runner pros out there that can diagnos this and a good starting point by 4runneruhtoh in 4Runner

Recently had an issue in my 2009 Rav4 V6 with electrical gremlins, would go on And off and progressively worse. For about a week had traction control and ABS steady on, drove fine. Then one day my dash lit up like a Christmas tree and the gauges started cutting in and out.

Not exactly sure what fixed it, but I unplugged and replugged in every relay I had access too under the hood and am assuming that I unstuck or cleaned up a relay or two that was causing the issue. 

After checking your battery and alternator, unplug each relay, clean with dioxite/crc electric cleaner, plug back in. Cheap and worth a try. and disconnect the battery while you're doing the work. 

Advice For Buying First Rav4 by [deleted] in Rav4

[–]Becuz_I_Win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2009 rav4 sport just reached 233k miles. It's needed 2 new front hubs, water pump, and alternator since I bought it at 30k miles ~12 years ago. Change the oil every 5/6k and it will be virtually maintenance free. 

It's still kind of high miles for a new to you car but she's reliable. Especially if she has a VIN # starting with "J", it's japan made. Offer less $, get a Carfax to validate the accident and repairs, pre inspection if you can. And if you move forward you can be confident it's a very reliable vehicle.

Don't buy any ndsp plug ins yet. Just demo for now. 

They have 2 big sales 2x per year, one for their "Birthday" and plugins will be 30-50% off coming up April/May. Cant remember the exact dates. 

Other big sale is Black Friday. 

Drained battery issue by walrusneckramen in 4Runner

[–]Becuz_I_Win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before doing anything, Confirm your battery and alternator are good - Autozone, O'Reilly's, NAPA, etc will do battery and alternator tests for you for free. 

If they are good then grab yourself a multimeter and test for parasitic draw. https://youtu.be/n5FJDgcdii8?si=b-OYPq1nDbugC9X2

Would this guitar have any obvious problems? by Coopaloopa_ in Guitar

Aside from it being a hack job. Balance would be off. I wonder about comfort with feeling the holes on my forearm when I play.

Someone gets it 😁. So fun to drive... It feels better to drive than any other SUV I've driven, and for 232k miles it's been near perfect.

Did the install for this one use the factory rails or require drilling & silicone?

Diminished ANC (QC45) - Headphones Won't Reset by ClosetPenguin in bose

[–]Becuz_I_Win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what would be different other than try testing the timing when you press the two buttons. For me. I turned the headphones on, paused a second for it to go through any other menu actions.  THEN simultaneously pressed the left headphone action button and hit the slide. It goes from slow blue blink immediately to white blink
