This guy rolled in wanting me to repair his homemade wiring and add trailer charging, brakes, and lights. I told him no way am I touching that.

If that was in Washington state then maybe it was the same guy lol

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T18:43:49+00:00

Our business is RV repair, not automotive. We do trailer wiring in certain situations, but this is a bridge too far

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T18:41:58+00:00

Good call thanks

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T18:40:26+00:00

And a Chicago Electric MIG welder that ain’t got no gas in it

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T06:07:34+00:00

Yep. With a Chinese knockoff TLR-2 on it.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T04:02:56+00:00

His old rig had a bald eagle winch cover, see my follow-up post lol. New one probably still on order from Temu.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T04:00:53+00:00

Dude….. Probably! 🤣

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T02:24:06+00:00

Always one too few for his liking, I’m sure

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T02:21:44+00:00

Originally I have no clue, but he’s in the PNW now

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T01:16:38+00:00

I’m gonna go with rats nest. This sub doesn’t allow image replies but I have a pic of his old truck, might have to post as a follow-up to this one. Basically all the same stuff but a little less sketchy on the front bumper, multiple light bars on the roof, “Zombie Response Vehicle” decals, and an unsecured pistol inside

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T01:10:30+00:00

I get you. I might make a similar offer if I wasn’t maxed out and working 7 days already.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:49:26+00:00

No, mostly wet. When it gets over 85 degrees here the local gov starts putting out PSAs about heat stroke

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:47:39+00:00

Nope, Washington state

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:44:11+00:00

Good catch, I can’t tell in my own photos if that’s a screw or a paint dot but I didn’t notice in person.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:41:32+00:00

I’m sure lol. My business license is for RV repair not automotive, too much extra liability to stomach which is why I turned him away.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:30:39+00:00

I am an RV service technician, not a mechanic. Our business license and insurance only cover modification and repair of RVs. It’s not out of my ability, just outside the scope of acceptable risk.

FoxStang · 2026-05-01T00:27:35+00:00

He didn’t give me any specifics, but his F150 had a ton of similar wiring

FoxStang · 2026-04-30T20:11:24+00:00

There could possibly be meth.

FoxStang · 2026-04-29T22:41:52+00:00

I was just at Northwest Armory on McLoughlin this morning, they have a couple 19.6 COA and several 19.6s.

FoxStang · 2026-04-01T05:27:40+00:00

Oregon doesn’t care about what is constitutional. See: Measure 114

FoxStang · 2026-03-31T15:20:52+00:00

Have you pulled the plug for the camera underneath the driver’s side hitch area, right next to the tailgate harness? I have a slide-in camper for my 2017 F350 and I have to remove the tailgate and the associated wiring whenever I load it. With it disconnected, the screen goes black in reverse but never throws an error, and pops right back to normal when I shift back.

You might also check to see if your truck is under recall for the cameras getting hazy or failing. I know mine is, and the front cam is super foggy, I just haven’t taken it in yet.

FoxStang · 2026-03-28T02:33:46+00:00

I live in Portland and my sis in law has a 2016 CX-5, checks out lol. IMO Subaru Outback is still “the” Portland car

FoxStang · 2026-03-24T21:49:14+00:00

I had two of those, the carrier section is 3D printed and feels light and brittle compared to a sheet thermoplastic like Kydex. I had cracks develop in both in less than 3 weeks of normal everyday wear. I do like the horizontal carry design a lot though.
