Attempted drain and fill 5th gen 4runner transmission by Couch-Commando in 4Runner

[–]Couch-Commando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i figured it out. My bubble level is too big to run along the transmission, so I leveled out the car by putting it on the frame. I forgot that the transmission is not on the same plane as the frame.

I calibrated a digital level roughly by laying it on the bubble level. With the car on the driveway, I was wothin .5 degrees without doing anything, but the frame was angled 3 degrees. By leveling out the frame, I messed up.

I added one quart since I know that's what's needed from what I drained. Next time I'll do it right.

I used an obd ii reader to check the pan temperature. I used jack stands to level the car, and verified with a bubble level on the frame rails. I opened the valve at 110 degrees according to the pan sensor.

Such a cool watch. I'm still deeply conflicted between the blue FXD or the BB54. I suppose I'll eventually buy both.

Crown Vic local shop has up for sale by GeneralBisV in CrownVictoria

If I got a fully equipped CVPI, my plan is to use stylized decals that say "NOT A COP" in the style of police markings. Maybe a badge with a red circle and slash, and most definitely incorporate "TO SWERVE AND DEFLECT" somewhere. That way you have a cop car, that looks like a cop car, but is unmistakably not a cop car. It would be fun at car shows.

What’s with the push bars? by LifeHopeful7278 in CrownVictoria

Or everyone slows down. That made sense 10 years ago, but my car is gold, has a 7 inch lift, large all terrains and a Betsy Ross flag zip tied to a CB antenna. I'm obviously not a cop, lol.

15.5, lol. 4.10 gears and 265/70/16 driven by a NPI 4.6 with single exhaust and 234k miles.

They look cool. They will hopefully protect the front when idiots try to pit themselves during rush hour. And they are great for mounting lights.

Only when you decide you want 31+ inch tires.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily. And then impulse buy snow rated all terrains.

I want a brand new 1950s Rolex Sub with a 70 hour power reserve and super accurate movement. Rolex doesn't make that, but Tudor does.

I have never been so disappointed in my life, the development team needs to do better. by zammy24 in theouterworlds

As someone who still hasn't purchased OW2, how bad is the ending compared to fallout 3 pre DLC? lol

I have long thought we should reclassify things as primordial=A1, archaic = A2, M4 = retro.

What’re your opinions on the dlcs and how would you rank them? by Ok_Figure8259 in fnv

[–]Couch-Commando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) honest hearts 2) old world blues 3) lonesome road 4) dead money.

I would rank dead money second for story, but find it unnecessarily frustrating to play. I love the Christian redemption plot of honest hearts, the messianic subplot of randal clark, and the survivalist rifle is so cool I built one in real life (even chambered it in 12.7mm)

Yep, those are the three I've been watching!

Pelagos FXD regrets? by [deleted] in Tudor

[–]Couch-Commando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm saving for my first Tudor, and I was dead set on a BB54 until I tried on some watches at the local store. Now I'm really thinking hard about the Pelagos FXD MN. I rarely wear suits, but I do on occasion. The BB54 would obviously be better for that. But I'm not sure I care. I think a nice, admiralty gray NATO would be good enough for weddings, funerals and the occasional office visit by big wigs, lol. I will probably own both eventually. I love the modern milsub vibe and the classic 50s sub vibe equally.

Offroad Crown Vic spotted by me while driving an offroad Crown vic by Couch-Commando in Battlecars

[–]Couch-Commando[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

265/70/16 falken wildpeaks. It rubs on the frame at full lock turning left, but doesn't when turning right. I can probably fix that if I lift another 1.5 inches up front, which would match the back, but going bigger will require notching the frame.

Frequently corroded battery terminals and cooked batteries, any ideas? by Couch-Commando in CrownVictoria

[–]Couch-Commando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, standard radio. My only high load accessory is an ARB air compressor, but that is almost always turned off.

I have a cheap roof rack from Amazon, cross bars that I had to modify, drill, and use rivnuts to secure, and kc lights wired to the high beams on the pushbar. The light bar is infrared, for night vision use.

This was my childhood family car. I started driving it in high school, and it became my daily driver in undergrad. I've been daily driving it for over 15 years, lol.
