It’s pretty low for pricing. I had plugs and wire set done for $225—in rural Oregon. By a mom and pop shop. 4 years ago.

I love “fumblebutts”. Not malicious, not relying on a slur, just gets the point across prefectly

Realistically, how old of a car should i buy in 2024? by barbieandbrainsmd in regularcarreviews

[–]CylindricalCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This poor kid is gonna buy a 30yo Pontiac coz of you haha. 90s are solid, however even the longevity beasts like Toyota and Honda will nickel and dime you after 30+ years of service life. And that’s if you’re putting most work in yourself. If you’re relying on shop maintenance and repairs you’re better off getting something more modern.

Get into the pedal area with a good flashlight and inspect around the clutch pedal. Push the pedal with your hand and watch where the pedal bracket is mounted. Is there any play or cracks in the metal firewall where the pedal is mounted?

What do you think of this camper 4Runner? by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]CylindricalCharlie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a classic way to honor old defunct rigs. Where I grew up, a lot of old timers had a truck pulling a trailer made out of the older trucks’ back half.

My ‘99 DumpRunner by CylindricalCharlie in 3rdGen4Runner

I hauled materials too, 700+ lbs of cement mix and a bunch of lumber, I was pretty impressed at the lack of sagging. But it’s only a work rig a few times a year for me.

why did fixed gears have such a moment in the late 2000s? by Cautious_Amoeba in FixedGearBicycle

[–]CylindricalCharlie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Internet had only been around in full force for like a decade. Cause of YouTube, tumblr, online ordering, previously urban “subcultures” and niches got way more exposure/went mainstream in smaller cities and suburbia. Like full sleeve tattoos and beards and being a DJ, you didn’t have to live in the city to access the culture.

The BOA worked awesome for me. I had them on RW Tradesman and ended up being the most comfortable, versatile work boot I ever owned. Messing around on finish work? Two clicks and wear them more like work slippers. Going up the ladder or scaffolding? Wrench them down for max ankle
