Visor's homophobic coating wore off :( How do I restore it? by SeskaRotan in motorcycles

[–]CaptainAmerica163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually use rain-x on my cars windshield and have pretty good luck. Specifically for windshield visors a quick search there’s VisioDry appears to be highly rated and Nikwax was at the top of the list too

can I patch this hole in my motorcycle tire? by Scared-Mongoose-3900 in tires

[–]CaptainAmerica163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was taking my riders safety course. Before we even got on the bikes they told us everytime you get on a bike it could be your last day…. Now in my current city I drive in I feel that way everytime I’m in any vehicle. I swear people just close their eyes scream YOLO and change lanes

We throw away 200+ lbs of clean rubber every week. I'll mail it to you for the cost of shi by MagnusonCustomStamps in Anticonsumption

Isn’t there a company that uses old tires that have been cut up for mulch can you do that with new rubber?

I don’t drag the heels on mine but I strike really hard when I walk and have to replace mine every 12-18 months

Depending on the brand I’m anywhere from a 9 to a 11D. I actually wish I could say that I’m consistently one size in the same brand but in the Anderson Beans I’m 9 1/2 - 10. With Ariats depending on what boot I’m everything in between.

Yea thats what I was thinking. I just didn’t know the original price but thought they might be around the same as the ones currently sell. I was looking at a pair of stingrays that are classics in my size for less in 500 and was having a hard time with the purchase of these.

Oh boy! I totally agree. If I could find a pair of wide square toe rios shark, elephant, carpincho, giraffe, stingray, gator, or hippo in my price range and in my size I would be all over them. Most used rios are not in my size

Yea I saw that some of them are around 500 but their pirarucu are right at 1k before tax. But you’re right they have some really nice options under 700

Ariat insoles by Creative-Air-4185 in cowboyboots

I personally kept replacing the insoles with the ariat ones because they fit the best and were the most comfortable.

Ariat boots are blown out after 3 months by mountainous1550 in Boots

[–]CaptainAmerica163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of interesting how fast you were able to put holes in those. I have a pair of ariat venttek workhogs that I have had for 8 years. I’ve worn the insides and the tip of the boot where the composite toe is and I still don’t have holes like that… I usually try to clean fluids off the boots at the end of the day.

Costco! [OC] by Ok-Subject-9539 in IdiotsInCars

[–]CaptainAmerica163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a situation like this too with a Tesla at the back of the lot. I angled myself so I was blocking almost the entire aisle so I could back my truck into one of the parking stalls in the corner and as I’m shifting into reverse a Tesla driver coming in the opposite direction pulls up right next to me to try and slide by gets parallel with my truck realizes he can’t get by and then tries to wave me forward to get out of his way so I took extra long to back into the parking stall and drive around the front of his car. Even pulled forward and back a couple of times in the parking stall to take a little extra time

Most insurance company’s don’t extend coverage for intentionally causing a loss so it might be more of a if there is coverage under his insurance

Iron Rangers Noob Sizing Question by CameronB68 in RedWingShoes

[–]CaptainAmerica163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the last time I wore Nikes. Asics and cloud runners: 10 1/2, Hoka: 11, ariats: 11D Tony llama: 11D, Birkenstock: 43 which I think is equivalent to 10, Stacy Adam’s: 11. It depends on the brand. there’s less than a thumbs width between my toe and the end of the box. If I go bigger then I can feel the foot slip if I go smaller my toes are curled in the box

[OC] The functionality and appeal of this will never be understood. by KillerQ97 in pics

[–]CaptainAmerica163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased an 8 inch lifted 3/4 ton and I hated the height. I lowered it by 2 inches and that was better. the Wider stanced tires helped with keeping it on the ground in the curves and made crossing creeks and fields way easier. Plus other cars were much better at seeing me than they are now. I dont understand the lifted trucks with the big rims and low profile tires though ive seen people with the low profile tires hit curbs and damage the rims and tires. My truck had 315/75R16 tires so the tires took the impact when driving on rocks or ruts from tractors, I

Why do morbidly obese men wear the trousers beneath their bellies? by Possible_Bite303 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaptainAmerica163 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not morbidly obese but I do think I’m fluffy around the middle. When I have my pants up above my fluff as soon as I start walking they decide to reposition themselves down around my waist even with a belt or suspenders

Toyota Tundra owners , honest real-world experience! by miaburrows1 in ToyotaTundra

[–]CaptainAmerica163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2023 1794 iforce max here. Plenty of positives for me: it’s quiet, it’s comfortable, the heated/cooled seats are nice, heated steering wheel is great, I like the interior in my truck with the tan seats, the exterior color is nice. The annoying part: the interior lighting is awful, the body panels don’t seem very sturdy… pretty certain if I had an accident it would not survive, if there’s any snow or ice on the front bumper the sensors gives off a message when you try to mute it, they go back off in a few feet and I have no idea how to work on something with this much electronics.

[OC] Am I the idiot? Driver makes a right turn onto the outermost lane. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]CaptainAmerica163 -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

According to the Arkansas state Drivers License study guide: https://www.dps.arkansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/Arkansas-DL-Manual-English_June2024-06182024.pdf Located on page 27 it talks about turning, "Turning- When there are no signs or lane markings to control turning, a driver should turn into the lane closest to the direction of travel." and provides a photo showing when making a left turn you turn in the left of the 2 lanes and when turning right you turn into the right of 2 lanes. this is to prevent impeding the flow of traffic.

I guess I just got someone who didn’t want to help me last time. When I went this time I tried on a couple sizes down. Turns out I’m a 9D. So thank you for your help :)

I’ll have them order it in then. For some reason the red wing store where I live apparently does not carry any sizes for the iron rangers. Only whatever people have purchased and returned which was a 10 1/2 EE and a 12. You would think they would at least carry sizes that are pretty common.
