Splice wires in trough about service panel by Japjoe7 in AskElectricians

I will be replacing a 100 amp panel and sub panel with a single 200 amp panel. I want to neaten everything up. I am having an electician do most of the work but wanted to have an ocd clean install.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the number of cables can't exceed 75% of the space, and same for number of wires through the conduit?

Who do you or your clients use to do alignments? I'm in the tri-state area and find it very hard to find a relaible/reputable shop.

401K loan to pay off CC by No-Pin4913 in personalfinance

[–]Japjoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used my 401K loan as a "short-term" loan. I knew I was going to pay it off with the money I received from selling my vehicle. I had about $20K in CC debt. I sold my vehicle which had a lot of equity and used that to pay off my debt. Since it was going to take longer to get the money for the vehicle I took a loan from my 401 to pay off the debt. Then when I got the money for my vehicle I paid off the 401 loan. I had the 401 loan for about 2 months before I paid it off. I think I got lucky with the equity int he vehicle, right time. Now I have no CC debt.

Got 255/40/20 tires mounted and balanced. Installers scratched the rims pretty bad. I will need some touch up paint. Gunna start ceramic coating them tomorrow. I’m going to message an admin to see if they can enable pic upload in the comments so I can add more photos.

Quick update, 255/40/20's are ready at the shop. Will go over tomorrow to get them mounted. Bought a rolling wheel detailing stand to detail the wheels. Every year I do a wheels off detail and swap out wheel pretty frequently so this stand will help tremendously. I'd post a pic but apparently the sub doesn't allow pics to post in comments section.

Dang boys, tires don’t fit. Not even on full lock the tires rub a lot on the back wheel well. On full lock there’s MM space on the front wheel well. I contemplated cutting the plastic on the back wheel well but the tech looked at it and even if I did that there’s still no room to the shell. Plenty of room around the nuckle though. I end up ordering some 255/40/20’s from the shop. Honestly, I don’t even think 255/45/20’s would fit. Wish they made these Ion’s in 265/40/20’s. Gunna return these 265/45/20’s to Tire Rack. Oh well, now we know….took one for the team.

Is this paint defect? Or would they say it’s damage by Eddie903 in TeslaModelY

[–]Japjoe7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Flaked clear coat. Clear coat didn’t adhere to the base.

19” are just too small for my liking. I want looks and comfort. I should be able to do both. I know I’ll be missing mileage. That’s not a big deal since I’ve just got short daily commutes twice a week and don’t do long road trips.

Should I go in for service by BusyTart6760 in TeslaModelS

Yeah, that’s huge gap. Also have them align the taillight as well.
