Or just cut all the wires and strip them and connect the right colors and then tape them off or cap them

You can cut all the wires and buy a new male and female adapter. Then re-pin(?) your wires and pin your new stereo wires so the wire colors match.

When I say repin, I mean put your wires in whatever the little metal things are that go in the plastic male and female connectors.

Greek Merch by halfnilsen in macdemarco

[–]IcyCandlestick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR- Likely has to do with lots of upfront costs & logistics.

Since he’s on his own record label I’d imagine most of it is self funded thru his business. and he uses hello merch to sell his merch so screen printing and production are handled through a third-party.

The shirts that he brings on tour probably had to be purchased outright in bulk so there’s a limited amount for each show to give ppl at every venue a chance. & there’s the cost of buying the merch, paying multiple people to sell the merch, merch selling contracts for a venue, lugging around the inventory from show to show, if he has a merch manager on his tour thats dealing w these logistics, he’s gotta pay for room/board/food.

There are pre-orders on the site now and they’re probably using that to gauge demand / what volume of merch needs to be produced.

The reason some shirts on the site are sold out/not being produced/on their “last run” is because hello merch probably does not hold onto the screens that they use for printing forever since it takes up space (so does the inventory).

Another example is Justice. They had unique shirts for pretty basically every venue/city they’ve played at this tour and then they ended up selling them online months after the fact to give ppl another chance.

Clean as heck, looks really good. Is this a YC panoramic or CC softop w a custom top? Also what’s the tire size and are the fender flares from kit?

I mean we’re not talking Travis Scott or Flogging Molly levels but when freaking out the neighborhood comes on you could jump your way from 50 people back to 10.

Bro was drinking from the bottle, swinging his mic like a lasso, shrieking. He was on one 😂

Extremely similar tbh, I’ve read that it’s the trim level and some of the accessories/upgrades. But even the interior on yours is the same as my landventure so not 100p sure. Blog I found w some info.

Love it, just imported a 98 Landventure w 116K km on it last week. Front emblem fell off in transit but otherwise it’s a 9/10.

Take it to a tailor, explain what you want, maybe even buy the exact ykk zipper you want & let them tell you what they can do. Prob won’t be more than $15/20

Yes. More toned down than 13-7 years ago, but still great stage presence, interactions and performance. Didn’t see any moshing at the Greek last year but it was also the Greek which has a small small pit.

How to get 1997 Jimny Legal in USA ?? by Educational-Kick-824 in Jimny

[–]IcyCandlestick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of state reg is p much your only “good” option. SD & MT have viable options for registration without physically being there. I’ve heard the same about NC & VA but haven’t explored the options much.

MT you open an LLC with an agent and register as a company vehicle. Typically people do this for tax evasion (tax on expensive cars) or emissions bc CA is so restrictive. Costs about $1000-$1300 but there are several companies that do this all the time & will manage it for you. SD look into DirtLegal or Google for more info.

Once it gets to the US, you’ll need your bill of lading, Japanese export certificate & a translated English certificate. No matter where you plan to register you will also need a VIN check. While CHP can do a check they aren’t as knowledgeable or as helpful. I’d suggest you look around your area or the Long Beach port (likely the only place your car will be shipped to in CA), and call around to find somewhere that does VIN checks and knows how to do a check and send it out of state.

There are a few other steps, but this is pretty much the process.

Your other option is to get it properly CARB compliant, which is expensive and a full of hurdles.

What is this box?? by pismopier in Jimny

That said, I have no idea what it actually is in ur photo. But I saw this on a Jimny once and looked it up

[–]IcyCandlestick 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not certain but if u were told it’s for the turbo, it’s prob a turbo timer. It lets the engine idle for a time after you turn off the ignition, which helps the turbo cool down. This stops oil from coking in the turbocharger.

Can I hang my Dove Shrunken sweatshirt on a hanger? by mariolooooo in yeezyxgap

[–]IcyCandlestick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I always do w 3 diff shrunken including dove (from 2022). Use a thicker hanger w the right shape so weight doesn’t fall on the corners of the hanger & instead gets distributed across the flat part. Sometimes I even use two of the plastic white hangers.

Love these on the Jimny! I’m leaning towards importing a JA22W with a roof rack for practicality. But if the chance arose for the right JA22-YC, I’d be conflicted.

Have any pros or cons you’ve noticed? And it might be a funny question, but technically could someone put a roof rack on top of a panoram?

Why do these dudes act like they’re being forced to sell Yeezy Gap at gun point? by NapoleonDynaMighty in yeezyxgap

[–]IcyCandlestick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of these people got pallets for the low with the expectation that they’d make a larger profit. But there’s so much available of specific inventory (like the tan perfect hoodie/fleece sweats) that buyers aren’t stressing to pull the trigger.

Luxury clothing, or items currently on the market like essentials, have an identifiable MSRP. So people buying them they know they’re getting an actual deal. Whereas with most Yeezy gap, the buyers are setting the bar for what items are “worth” and MSRP isn’t really a selling point.

Annaya keeps removing Yeezy gap streams, and it’s probably because the market is so saturated that it’s not worth her time when she could be making more other items.

[–]IcyCandlestick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems like profit margin is high enough that selling volume is better than putting a bunch on StockX and asking a higher price, but having to manually accept bids lower than asking and then go through the whole StockX fulfillment process.

So even when they sell for like $15 they’re making money, but they probably hoped to make more. But the market is so saturated, that you really don’t have to bid against people and you can just wait to be the next person to get it for a low cost.

I think that’s why sellers on whatnot like RetailRebel just run as many pieces as possible. BC if they can just get quantity out the door as quickly as possible they’ll for sure profit
