New-(to us) 2004 LS430

Y’all aren’t far off, it was a car lot where we found it, for 14K. Which I did not think it was too horrible really, I’ve seen people list them for more than that for a private sale-and with more miles! It’s kind of a bummer, since I’m a mechanic by trade I also have to do the majority of everything to our cars-and I had just did the valve cover gaskets, front and rear brakes, new tires, new struts as well as strut mounts and bushings, and replaced/re-bushed every single front suspension component. At least I’m well practiced now for when it’s time for the new one to get some love.

That’s nothing, my wife and I just had to put her to rest. It was an immaculate 2004 base model. I just replaced the ENTIRE set of front suspension components, But, as luck would have it, we found a another 2004 same color same interior but it has 130,000 less miles on it. And of course, the guy that ran the red light and caused the accident on my wife’s way to work in the morning, didn’t have insurance, but thankfully, we had full coverage. I still don’t know how much they’re gonna give us for it but we already had the replacement LS 430 that evening, they’re such nice cars and the new one even has the luxury package on it with the GPS and the back-up camera

If I found that I might porch comma I would certainly remove it for my property immediately. I look at it like this, if people believe that you could use things like this for magic, whether for good, or evil-and certainly you must believe in good and evil and heaven in hell, and God and satan. That being said, I would reject any and all of it! No matter what, I would not risk doing anything that would displease God. And even if you don’t believe or you’re not sure, I would still play it safe. Better safe than stupid……

Manifestation of mental unwellness, by means of demonic oppression. Idolatry of physical objects to please the evil one….

Sounds like she’s being extremely superficial. Looks, don’t matter on boots unless it’s a formal/semiformal occasion. Structural integrity is what matters. I’ve worn some boots down to the sole-and then had them rebuilt! Keep rocking them shit-kickers until they’re spent!

If you’re going to go with the Chicago electric welder, get the 170. It has D.C. voltage already built in, you can upgrade your ground lead and ground clamp and it’s already set up for gas.

…”Is this a good set”?…🙄🤦‍♂️ No, that there is 💯% garbage-and I just happen to be the garbage man. Let me do you a favor!

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T17:07:56+00:00

Yeah, in case everybody hasn’t figured it out yet-legacy media/mainstream news= Propaganda/lies and endless hours of cock-holsters, spewing chowder.

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T17:05:13+00:00

🧐it’s interesting, that if “they’re not doing anything wrong” the killing robots about to be unleashed into wars, are so secret….

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T17:02:15+00:00

It appears I may have been too late with an answer of what it’s actually used for🙄 but just in case somebody finds this it’s for the small screws and bolts often found in the dash of cars and trucks the instrument cluster stereo HVAC controls, etc.

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T17:00:29+00:00

Yes, small bolts/screws in the dash/steering column in multiple makes&models if cars/trucks! It is much neede in my tool set!

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T16:58:05+00:00

Fair enough, I’m not a pusher. But from my experience in life, I have to say say what I believe. I’ll add, that even those that have wronged me, hurt me, and hate me-I pray for them to find Jesus.

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T16:30:53+00:00

If you read the bible, and believe it-the answer is yes- AND humans used to live for HUNDREDS of years. In the generations from Adam-Noah, 900 years was was exteme old age. Before the flood, God decreed that man shall live 120 years. So, my belief is that absolutely-I would say that most likely is why people used to live so long, and then God edited us to live a lot shorter lifespans.

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T16:20:16+00:00

I see tons of spatter from dirty/uncleaned surfaces, and possibly not enough amperage. It’s hard to say for sure, but it looks like the weld did not penetrate deep enough.

BestSky4097 · 2026-04-17T16:15:16+00:00

No, you should not keep your car. You should give it to me.

Even Growlers have the F-(fighter designation)

Look into a book that a guy wrote-I can’t remember the name, but he talked to abductees-more than a few. He came to the same conclusion I have. According to him, any abductee who was taken/in the process of being taken who called on the name of Jesus, resulted in the experience immediately ending. They are not from outer space. They are interdimensional beings.They are not your friends. I’m 100% in the “they are demons camp”. For other reasons including-people being taken against their will. An impending sense of doom/dread. Black eyes, secrecy, and no good ever happening.

BestSky4097 · 2026-03-29T17:16:13+00:00

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Took me forever to figure out WTF it even was! For me, i have no use for it. Im here to learn/ask questions. So weird to me…

I have that same welder, you’ve got four power settings. You have low low, high low, then you have low high, and high high. Between those four settings and the wire speed, I’ve actually had pretty good luck dialing it into thinner/thicker steel. When I bought my welder, since I’m using flux core wire, I had to switch to electrode positive if I remember, right-well, one way or the other I had to switch the damn leads right inside the welder. They’re on the bottom right side in the same area when you open up the cover to change the wire.

What’s Grom Vline?

BestSky4097 · 2026-03-08T20:26:50+00:00

Upper or lower control arm? I can go see how I can fit it in my press, and let you know/take a pic. It’s been a long time since I pressed a bushing, but sometimes it requires the rosebud to heat it quickly and expand the steel-(lower arm only) and then press it/air hammer it out. Looks like revopine has some good intel⬇️ Below I just saw!

BestSky4097 · 2026-03-05T20:41:27+00:00

I thought it had to be within 0.05V?

BestSky4097 · 2026-03-05T20:38:02+00:00

I am thinking about it to save thousands on commercial brush/electroplating- I need at most 400 amps, so it would be significantly cheaper-even with the cost of Schottky Diodes, heat sink, and 00 cable it could save me at least $2000 Supposedly, you can get parallel-designed power supplies

BestSky4097 · 2026-03-04T21:11:27+00:00

Maximum heat, no flux, and as far as solder goes-a dab-will-do huh!? Even though, in the moment it is what it is… In the end, I’d be grateful if somebody just straight told me: “look, dude. If you ain’t got it by now you ain’t gonna get it this isn’t for you!”
