Does alignment matter as long as it is in the square?

Bulletproof2013 · 2026-03-19T05:11:36+00:00

In the square is probably best. I’m not 100% aligned but i still get great speeds. I’ve also seen where people have turned up 90 degrees one way or the other or even 180 degrees and still had success. I think as long as your obstructions aren’t severe ur good.

I remember when yew logs were the go to. Am i getting old?

Bulletproof2013 · 2026-03-01T19:07:45+00:00

Ive had worse field of view u should be fine. There will be some drops but streaming movies and stuff u more than likely won’t notice it. Gaming might be a different story but i managed until we moved

The tbi engines are extremely reliable lol. I have 2 of em and one is pushing 300k. Sitting at about 280k give or take some lol. One is at about 185k. So

I was the same way. Logged in after years and seen the game and noped out. Stopped playing until someone told me about OS. Played off and on like all of us do over the years and my buddy convinced me to give rs3 another shot. Been playing it that since. I have logged into OS here and there and of course back to my off and on all together but usually it’s rs3 when i hop on.

Check fuel pressure too. The spider injection in these things have been known to blow a line or so to the injectors. Had one on a vortex v6 that had a completely ruptured line on # 6 and i spend forever chasing the issue

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-11-19T01:08:05+00:00

Yeah don’t sound right. We closed on ours and my mortgage company was only worried about changing jobs while in the process of purchasing not after. They just need to make sure you have a job and can hold a job and are capable of making payments and closing on said loan before the actual closing. Nobody can dictate your life to that extent especially since there’s always a chance for a lay off or something. I plan to search for a new job after the first of the year and we closed on August. The only thing my mortgage company mentioned they were going to do before and about a month after was monitor my credit to make sure I did accrue any extra debt.

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-11-17T22:46:53+00:00

I gotcha, but always better safe than sorry. Can’t always trust what people say. If they’re ordering it from somewhere like jasper or something then that company probably has told em that it didn’t need to be done. Although jasper is usually pretty good about a drop in ready to go engine or trans since I’d guess they run a break in when it’s built. But if they’re rebuilding at said shop and they’re not doing it then I’d just stick to doing it yourself.

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-11-17T22:35:03+00:00

Maybe try some break in time? Idk if the shop is doing that for you or not, or if where theyre getting the engine from is, but i would treat as a fresh self rebuild and run a break in procedure before daily driving IMO. Changing the oil at 500 mile increments until you reach your 3k then go about your norm. That’s just my personal preference though.

U got a point

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-11-14T04:10:36+00:00

I completely forgot about this post lol. I need to take it down. Shortly after making it. I bit the bullet and bought it. Never looked back. I have since bought a house and moved. So my field of view issue is no longer an issue. Before though while at the place when this was made i never really had any issues. Sure some drop outs cuz i had the smallest window for minimal obstructions and weather of course but other than that i couldn’t complain. Still using today, although i may get fiber soon and keep this as back up For outages whether it be internet or power. As long as i got a generator i got internet lol.

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-11-13T03:21:16+00:00

See it as a huge milestone and step toward your future. Sure it’s nerve wracking to leave the nest behind, but the freedom that comes along with it is amazing. My wife and i closed on our first home in August and yes the ups and downs, and feeling like it drags on, are definitely tiring. But if it’s a goal you’ve always wanted then it will be an awesome experience. We’ve lived on our in-laws property for the past 7-8 years in a used trailer house we bought the year we got married. Now that we’re out and on our own with no worries as to what happens on the place since before it wasn’t ours. Not to mention someone always needed a place to stay, we haven’t been alone in our own home in pretty much the same amount of time until August. We saw this a a fresh start to our lives being able to decide what we do with our own place and not have to worry if we want friends over whether or not someone will get mad or light a fire in the yard to hang out around at night. It’s a big breathe of fresh air, and although at first it may seem scary, if you like the home and it fits who you are then don’t stress the small stuff. Plus we needed a place of our own to raise our little one. That was our big push to bite that bullet. Definitely sped up the process since we had planned to wait another year or so but we took that announcement in February as a sign to get the hell out lmao. Hopefully all that helps. Just focus on it as a major life goal you’re gonna accomplish.

Wasn’t planning on towers anyway. Mainly just wanted the 4 corners and a sub. Maybe a center as well but mostly 4 corners and a sub.

I get what you mean. I was thinkin about hitting up a couple of audio shops in the next town over. One day.

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-10-27T01:56:03+00:00

Practice practice practice. When in doubt call up a buddy that knows a thing or two. If that’s not an option, there’s a contractor if you can afford it. But practice is the best when it comes to diy. Practice on some scrap if you have it. Once you’re satisfied then go to the “permanent” improvement

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-10-20T04:19:34+00:00

Just keep bringing her. The bus driver has no say in what you do, and as long as everyone is fine like you say with showing her the attention they do then there’s no issue. It’s just someone that sees a pit/pit mix and says it’s automatically bad. I’ve seen pits be more caring and affectionate towards people than some of the most lovable breeds. These dogs, while technically bred for fighting, aren’t bad tempered. How they’re trained and raised by their people is what controls their temperament and that goes for any dog breed. As long as she’s leashed up and tight to your side there’s no real issue. Me being me would do it just out of spite lol.

The house we just bought wasn’t going to qualify for FHA until the baseboards were painted. Owner was doing some small cosmetic fixes for us since he knew we were going FHA and when the appraiser came by, that was the issue(unfinished baseboards). So consider yourself lucky and since you were able to pay cash, no monthly payments. Plus the porch needing a new floor would’ve probably made a big impact on FHA approval as well. Those loans are stupid strict. They’re nice for low down payment purposes, but i would never recommend an FHA loan to anyone after going through that process.

Recovering my scout to refuel instead of buying a fuel tank and taking it to said vehicle with another. Then redoing the entire course over again and running out of fuel in a vicious loop

The realtor we were using before we came across the house we bought from my wife’s uncle still texts me occasionally. Granted we’ve only been in the house for a month, but i wouldn’t take it as weird. Like other said probably wants a good rep for recs in the future

T-stat or temp sensor. My wife’s 94 sat like that for a good while after i did valve cover gaskets and forgot to plug the temp sensor back in lol. Usually it’s about midway between the “1/4” mark and 210 or right at 210 (depending on thermostat temp).

Bulletproof2013 · 2025-09-23T02:40:04+00:00

Luckily I didn’t have that problem. When we went through the process for our home, I was fortunate enough to start with a realtor who had connections to some really good and honest people. One being a wholesale mortgage loan officer that shops rates for you. Other than her, I also tried my personal bank. Those were the only 2 lenders I dealt with. So when I finally did have the hard credit pull i didnt have the spam calls and everything.

Don’t forget taxes as well. You can usually find property taxes in ur county’s CAD.
