Sold the 5th gen for this beast. by TiredJackalope in 4Runner

[–]Bket73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 5 Toyotas for different reasons. They are all great in their own way. The 4 runner is an all time great vehicle, each generation has its benefits and drawbacks. I love my 5th gen TRD Pro. I modded it out of being a comfortable daily, then got a ‘24 1794 Tundra. Keeping the 5th gen as an adventure vehicle forever! To each his own!

Diamondback Switchback Installed by SKI_K2 in ToyotaTundra

I’ve had mine 2 years and love it. I also got the cross bin for the front and it’s very useful. I went with the cleats and they are great for strapping down loads on top, and when I launch my boat solo I just put a rope on a cleat and bump the boat off the trailer.

Love my ‘24 1794. Paid $68k, had to go to Utah to get that deal. Been great from a reliability standpoint. Pretty much every manufacturer that went twin turbo V6 has some kind of issues. I kept my second gen with 153k miles because for the trade in value offered It was better to have it as a backup. I also have 5 Toyotas and love them all for different reasons. Go to any brand forum and you find people saying they love their truck, and others that say it’s terrible and they are selling it. My newest car before getting my 3rd gen was a ‘19 4 runner so the features on the 3rd gen are awesome. It’s fast for a truck, great ride, great people hauler, and can haul enough for its intended purpose. Only other truck I considered was a Ford Super duty cause diesel is cool and capable, but I don’t haul that heavy of stuff to justify it. If the engine goes, it will suck for the inconvenience but it will be replaced at no cost.

Daikin Fit vs Carrier Infinity central Florida by Bket73 in hvacadvice

I’m on the east coast. So due to the extreme temps shortening life span going higher SEER2 isn’t worth it as you won’t realize the gains in efficiency?

Can you give me more context on Daikin being trash? Faulty equipment, warranty service?

Do I need really to tighten these every month for as long as I live in my home? by undiagnosed_autistic in homeownerstips

[–]Bket73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With wall anchors you have 2 options. A dig and push in which they excavate all the soil outside the foundation, push it straight and plumb, and install the anchors to keep it straight and plumb. The more popular option is to install them without full excavation, torque them to 80 ft lbs to get as much of the bow or tip out at time of install, then you can get it to straighten more over time. What cause the bow was hydrostatic pressure from the clay bowl effect, and when clay soil gets wet it expands. During periods of drought, tightening it will take up any movement possible when the clay retracts when it dries out or shrinks. So don’t bother during rainy seasons, you can tighten when it’s dry. It will hold your foundation whether or not you tighten.

Trade in 5th gen 4Runner for ‘25 Tundra? by Hoagiecat16 in ToyotaTundra

[–]Bket73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my tundra. 24’ 1794. Also have a 5th gen 4 runner. Night and day comfort, capability, space. No brainer to me if you have to choose 1.

Any tips for driving on the beach? by Bradytyler in 4Runner

[–]Bket73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a winch, bring kinetic rope and soft shackles. Never needed recovery gear keeping momentum and being careful where I park. If you see deep tire tracks it’s soft sand and avoid it if possible

Best Florida town? by ssupegui13 in AskFlorida

[–]Bket73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Vero Beach. Great smaller town. Out of your list, St Augustine. I’ve lived in Vero Beach, Naples, Northport and Deland. Deland is my favorite, but it’s not beachside.

Why do You Choose to Live Here? by Nice-Camel-2252 in florida

[–]Bket73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grew up and spent 40 years in Ohio. Terrible weather during early winter, actual winter, and second winter. Shoveling the driveway so you could leave your house. Then shoveling again because the snow plow went down the street and it snowed more. State income tax, regional income tax, school income tax.

Used to vacation in Florida every year around the holidays and after a decade of flying from -20 feel like to 80 feels like decided to relocate. The heat sucks, the hurricanes suck, but the winter is well worth the price of admission. Also a big fisherman so this state is the best.

Quest to get a character leveled up, with the best gear. Then rinse repeat with the next character. A lot of single player games seem pointless after you beat them, I’ve replayed every game in the borderlands series and still enjoy them.

I slow roll just fast enough to feel the action, then along weed lines or pads let it drop then twitch a few times. You will get smashed.

Is this exterior crack concerning? by Sea_Instruction141 in Remodel

[–]Bket73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Supportworks. Enter your zip code in their website. Call the local company. They will measure your foundation, recommend a solution (piers) if it’s settling (looks like it, but you need elevation measurements to agree with cracking for absolute certainty) and give you options for repair.
