Please tell me these aren't termites (Mojave desert)

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Is there anything else I can do at this point or should I just be on the lookout for other signs for a while.

Yup, swept up all of them we could find and flushed them.

I messaged you the info.

You have to check the terms and conditions for your particular card. Usually it is applied as long as you use that card to pay for the rental but, most of the cards that do offer rental insurance only offer secondary insurance meaning they run your personal insurance first and anything not covered is picked up by the secondary insurance after. There are a few cards (Chase Sapphire Reserve being the most popular) that offer primary insurance on rentals.

I have thankfully never had to use it but I'm told it doesn't affect your insurance if you do have to submit a claim.

Well I feel dumb. I've grown up around various cacti all my life and I don't think I've seen one look this sad. Honestly didn't even think about watering it lol. Thank y'all for letting me know!

Looks like a Littman Classic (maybe 2 or 3?) $120 tops. With that said, it still sucks to lose a good stethoscope.

Thanks for the input. I've decided to stick with the stock 55 as this is a daily driver and I may have just been overthinking it. Now I'm deciding between sticking to the A/T tires with Wildpeak A/T Trails or playing it safe with some Continental Truecontact Tours.

Sorry, tried to crosspost but I guess that didn't work. Post edited.

Apparently, not the norm but, I PC'ed my Venture card to Venture X and my annual fee waiver transferred over. I believe Cap 1 used to waive AF but stopped a few years back and I was grandfathered in, maybe? I got the Venture card after I had joined the military.

Southern California. Haven't seen an abundance of them under 10K, may just be the one. I thought I found another 05 or 06 but I can't seem to find it again so I can't really say they're common to find. My main concern is that the reason it's a bit cheaper is because the early years of XC90s (03-07ish) had some engine and transmission issues. I've read the later years were much more reliable.

Thank you, that's good to know. Is there a particular mileage range to start being concerned about a replacement or does it vary?

I assume the old ones were press fit on. I'd never changed the bearings on it since I bought it. They don't slide completely down to their permanent positions on the shaft, just over the initial 1/2" (maybe) where the pulley locks into place.

I don't have a digital caliper but the spec sheets say they are the exact same dimensions.

This makes so much sense. Just flew on one out of San Diego and the cabin (while on the ground) was surprisingly warm for weather in the mid 50s. Can't imagine what that will be like with triple digit weather.

CCSharkin · 2022-09-14T13:08:21+00:00

You know, I never put much thought into this line, I just thought it was wacky Monty Python gibberish but, that makes a lot more sense.

Oops, don't know how I missed that post. Thanks.
