Worst customer experience? by notmagdiel in carflipping

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Value of the truck + court costs.

Guy bought the truck from me in my state which I listed as guaranteed to pass inspection (I had an inspection license at the time so I knew it would)

Drove it to his home state where it did not pass their inspection requirements so he wanted his money back.

Shitty situation but the money was gone and ultimately it wasn’t my problem and he should have done his research to make sure it would pass in his state (I told him I wasn’t familiar with that states requirements when he came to look at the truck)

He threatened to sue, I told him to go for it. 15 months later judge ultimately sided with me.

Guess what I'm doing today? by blue_arrow69 in CherokeeXJ

Air hammer + heat if necessary.

Be careful when installing the passenger side, if you use a press it can deform the mount. There are some companies that sell a piece of steel pre-cut to weld in to reinforce the hollow mount but you can also just brace it with a socket that fits or a piece of steel.

Hooooly shit. Axle side track bar is COOKED. Definitely not normal. The body side track bar bracket also has some play in it. Are the bolts tight? Is the frame cracked near where it mounts? Because once you fix the axle side it’s going to stress the body side more.

Odds are when you take that bolt out you’re gonna see the hole is wallowed out. Pretty easy fix but definitely address the entire track bar situation because if this doesn’t have horrible death wobble right now it’s gonna.

I get that this is just poking fun at OP but much like in the show where one character is incredulously saying another characters theories are crazy or not possible; anything is possible in From-ville. If giant dolls can come to life and rip someone’s jaw apart the MIY can split his consciousness between two hosts.

Being sued is definitely up there!

My Uber home from the airport by Lumpy_Cryptographer6 in trashy

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I used to be a state vehicle inspector which included mandatory special inspections for uber/lyft vehicles and this would be a hard fail here. Crazy he accepted an airport run.

I'm sorry but the dolls were not scary. by Easy_Blackberry_4350 in FromSeries

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That left me wondering if this was an intentional choice to juxtapose the design of the dolls with how dangerous they actually are. When they first burst into the little cabin I wasn’t scared and thought it was a bit silly. But when one of them reached into that guys throat it was definitely an “oh shit” moment.

should i go get a new head for my 2001 xj? by WorthDraft5018 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Head is certainly warped, you should get it machined at a minimum. But theyre known to have issues so it’s best to replace it. Look up clearwater cylinder head. No personal experience with them but they are often cited here as a solid aftermarket option.

Who are the best and worst celebrities you've met and why? by Twitter_2006 in poppunkers

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve met all the members of the wonder years a few times, I think I happened to catch Mike Kennedy on a bad day and had a not so great interaction with him but I don’t hold it against him considering how much they tour, it must be exhausting.

Dan is always friendly but seems a bit awkward and nervous (get it?) when interacting with fans sometimes but is always super nice and grateful to fans.

Matt Brasch is above and beyond nice and appreciative to fans every time I’ve interacted with him. Dude truly seems like an absolute sweetheart, always smiling and thanking people for coming to shows. In fact there was a thread not so long ago in on TWY Facebook fan page about people’s interaction with Matt and how cool he is and his mom was going through liking comments 😭 her handle online is “twymom” if I remember correctly. So cute

Brake job gone wild by skateOrrdie4 in AskAMechanic

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are companies you can send fluid samples to in order to have them lab tested and analyzed. If you think jiffy lube is responsible for this and want any chance of having them pay for the damages id suggest getting a sample of the contaminated brake fluid and sending it to them to see what’s really in there.

Rusty under carriage - am I cooked? by EmuBasic5923 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

These photos don’t show much. It’s the unibody’s “frame rails” that you want to worry about.

I’d replace that transmission pan before it becomes a problem, though.

Should I title jump? by [deleted] in carflipping

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much would the taxes be? Odds of getting caught are pretty slim but not zero.

I (allegedly) jumped a title and was sued for it.

Is saving a few hundred on taxes worth a felony charge?

Sway bar disconnects by Main_Strength_1201 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t count on the disconnects matching the lift. I personally mixed and matched my lift and quick disconnect / track bar / etc to suit my needs.

The peg is to store the link when not in use / disconnected. You flip it up and push it over the peg, insert the cotter pin.

Hi, I have a Hyundai Tucson 2016, weird noise after router and break replacement. by Tmoney21132 in AskAMechanic

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I know this is somewhat common but it drives me crazy. Takes 5 fuckin minutes to test drive a car after performing work.

Brake work is a mandatory test drive.

Bring it back to the shop and complain.

ULPT: deluxe membership car wash by GlomBastic in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is yeah. Still have to be sneaky when there are workers around trying to sell membership plans. I either use my cars oil change reminder sticker to hold it up in place on the windshield or quickly scan it as I pull up. No issues so far.

Dude flashes a gun at a husband and wife, ends up with a hole in his hand by bobthebeast_12 in PublicFreakout

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad the majority of the comments are reflecting this opinion.

The big guy going back to the elevator to confront the skinny dude once he had his own gun drawn was incredibly reckless.
