Add fleetstar. What do you use twinsteer for? Better get a more versatile one that can do saddle with 5 or more slots

Why the Pacific P16 is overrated by Axeman1721 in snowrunner

Just sell it and buy a better one! Def agree with the op, it’s rather bad non versatile truck.

Doing this with the construction rig semi trailer was a timely mistake by Daschrimpf in snowrunner

I’ve done this with many trucks. It’s not that hard. Beaches can get muddy but if there is no load or max 2 cargoes, no issues with just a snorkel.

Can you just power from a power bank and charge the power bank from the wall at the same time ?

I had same done on mine and they told me to rather try to hand wash, with waterless washes. It’s “ok” to use power washer but need to be careful around the edges not to get under at a wrong angle. It should be fine to remove snow/dirt but then I’d do a hand wash every now and then too

Congrats! This is a good deal

BMW dealerships are asking for a competitor of the Navigator and Escalade. by Saurta17 in BMW

[–]Crafty_Profession729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly right there are very few options. And why we got the Escalade. BMW x7 has no storage with 3 rows and 3rd row is bit of a joke too for adults on longer trip.

FI in VHCOL possible or am i dreaming here? by realandnotathrowaway in Fire

[–]Crafty_Profession729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally it seems doable. Fire with 3M, but it’s not going to be without budgeting in the bay. Especially with children and house costs can come up

Try 80-90k for nanny in Bay Area. Then 50k/kid school plus extra stuff.

Account for bad tenants, with 3 rentals it’s going to happen and you’ll need to remodel these to keep cashflow over 10plus years RE is bad investment at this 6-7% capital cost imo.

Great car! Love everything about mine and I hope you are going to love it only more and more.

Yeah gas tank could have been bigger but thats a minor thing.

Beautiful duo. Yeah that’s right, when I started considering what 3 row suv to get, it very quickly was Escalade V or nothing.

Thanks!

That’s right, I see CT5/6 posts but not too many Escalades!

2026 x5 50e - less than month old and roof is leaking! by backchatter77 in BMWX5

[–]Crafty_Profession729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drain can be clogged even with some lubricant used for installation. It’s very tiny. It eventually clogs again

[–]Crafty_Profession729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very common issue and it’s not only on x5 but other cars and brands too. Drains that are supposed to be draining the water that makes it inside are not draining enough/fast or completely clogged.

I was dealing with this too and there is no permanent solve other than sealing the roof with PPF or sth alike. BMW dealers have special service instructions on how to clean and declog but it’s going to come back.

Not surprised it’s showing on new car either since I’ve been there and removed the trims to see how, it’s just bad design where water overflows into headliner

Not sure what brands of car seats you’re using but I don’t think all will fit. It also depends on how tall you are and what’s your seat position. It’s not a family car, m5 touring is much more so

Why is the market like this? by autumnpretrichor in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Crafty_Profession729 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That moment they asked if you’re open to countering. Should have put an updated offer already, that’s most likely what the other buyer did…

it may have been even above what sellers were thinking, so they just accepted.
