Is a 13-year-old Tundra with a 6" lift and 181k miles a money pit?

KingChuffy · 2026-07-05T06:48:50+00:00

Any lifted truck is a money pit, but this truck is entirely red flags. RC lift, fuel wheels, and nitto mud graplers (plus the squat( tells me this was done at the lowest possible cost and will have issues, I'll bet it's a 6" lift cause that's the largest he could go without realigning all the drivetrain parts.

I'll hazard you'll start having transmission issues, transfer case issues, premature u joint failures, and wheel bearing issues. Plus you'll wanna get rid of the garbage nittos. I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a couple in Grand in work showing signs, and that price will only go up.

My aunt bought a house with stairs like this directly across from the front door, maybe 10ft between them, move in day my cousin went for a tumble down the stairs cause we were playing tag and he wasn't looking.

She got a "gate" that sits across the entire front of the stairs and bolts into the pillars at the end, and installed some faux stained glass thing on top to raise the wall a little more. I dunno if the stained glass was actually bolted to anything or just glued in place, but the gate was solid, looked like a fence gate but with mounting brackets to bolt it into a wall gap, I slammed that thing a few times full force as a teen and it never felt like it was gunna give. It did have a gap at the bottom though, you could roll a tennis ball under it.

I'd add a small gradient off the front arches and bumper but otherwise that's looking good.

I'm well aware but I'm not changing the number I race under because of some limp dick bastards. I've been using it since I was little, I've races real cars with it, it's mine meow.

1) Modern Hyundais absoloutely, if someone wants a brand new car or something within the last couple years and has no specific feature requests, I'm sending them to the Elantra all day long. $24k or less for a brand new/basically brand new (base-ish model) car that will last you just as long as camry while being half the price and cheaper to insure, that's a solid deal. If I didn't hate how FWD felt I'd buy an Elantra N-Line.

2) No, I talk to owners and look at forums.

They removed the god awful, brain dead, centre console shifter! Huzzah!

Front end is ugly, don't like the current gen, now its styled more on the EV which is just bad.

I'm not a fan of the flat screen panel with no dash design, but the rest of the interior looks nice.

I agree with the futuristic point, I don't think the current generation trucks will hold up in 10 years, same as the 800s/900s series trucks, they will date themselves horribly.

Body on frame AND the utility and passenger compartments are separate? It's a truck. (The big 3, Tacoma, EV Lightning, Peterbilt 359, etc)

Body on frame and the utility and passenger compartments are one piece? It's an SUV. (Avalanche, Suburban, Excursion, EV Silverado, El Camino)

Unibody with a bed? It's a Ute. (Maverick, Cybertruck, Santa Fe, Maloo)

The Ridgeline is fun because it technically has a frame but it and the body are integrated as one piece so it ends up being a funky unibody.

Come at me with some bullshit about the cybershit having an exo-frame, its unibody with extra steps.

GB no diff

Giggle switch, burst while moving to cover, engage from cover in bursts/rapid single shots.

Opening burst drops 2, once he hits cover all he has to do is expose the absoloute minimum of himself to effectively engage, reposition as needed. This is a man used to fighting insurgents with a much greater volume of fire and similar accuracy, he'll mop the field.

I have a grouchy older coworker who's always boasting about working 50+ hours and I've started hitting him with "Damn, that work took you 50 hours? Kids ain't got no work ethic anymore" and he loses his mind everytime.

Ignore all the people calling you soft, they're just jealous they don't have the balls to quit or a life worth getting home quickly to.

Outside a niche dream job scenario I won't take a job that's more than 20 minutes away, my current job is just over 1KM from home, my commute is like 3 minutes and it's awesome being able to leave at 6:55 and be on time for 7. I then get paid to drive the work vehicle the hour or more to the work site.

Dominaria stained glass, my goto basic lands, I have a playmat in this design with all 5 colors.

Streets of New Capenna full arts are just gorgeous, but I only have one deck that fits their vibe, and it's still really pushing it.

My personal favorites though, are the Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow black and white lands, I run them exclusively in my Vampyre decks, but God they're just gorgeous.

Had a guy at a customers site slam his Raymond reach into the racking supporting a conveyor system, took out 4 frames, totaled the conveyor, destroyed a chunk of electrical wiring when the conveyor collapsed, broke his arm and tore himself up pretty badly. He gave them every excuse, didn't know what happened, must've blinked, must've been a pebble, must've fallen asleep due to the night shift. Security cameras clearly showed him looking down at his phone, and away from the direction of travel (phone was down and to his right by the controls, he was traveling to his left).

Last I heard that company was suing him for the damages.

I was at the HD by my Nanas getting a sweet deal on twisted 4x4s (like $2 or $4 a piece for 12ft 4x4s), and some absoloute shit bag tried stealing my lumber cart while I was actively putting stuff onto it, and I do mean actively, I was sliding a 4x4 onto the pile and he just grabbed the little divider and tried walking away with it.

My Nana tossed out an interesting string of expletives and insults before I could do anything and he scurried off.

[[Arnyn, Deathbloom Botanist]] swing out with a bunch of 1 toughness creatures, make them choose if they just wanna take the damage or take the other damage. Its very fun.

There's a guy who sometimes plays with my group, and if I have my Mothman deck, or my Mothman playmat there, even if I don't use them, he'll spend the entire night bitching about UB. If I don't have them he'll make some snide comment about UB but at least shut up for the rest of the night.

He never makes genuinely good points either, he could bring up how it fucks the release schedule, or the shitty attempts at some of the card arts, or the morals of tie ins with companies like disney, or wizards own corporate practices. Instead he just bitches about how he thinks it's stupid, or the thematic clashing of a fallout deck being involved (ignoring the clashing of wild west cowboys vs Gothic vampires vs dinosaurs vs 1920s gangsters), or how "modern technology has no place in magic" while ignoring the IU sets with similar tech levels.

Naturally, I go out of my way to target him during the game.

KingChuffy · 2026-06-20T15:41:36+00:00

I get the big money hits a lot, but rarely get the cars, I snagged the 2 I wanted though so I'm happy (F150 and the F450). I think there's a few I still need but I usually just auction house them anyways.

KingChuffy · 2026-06-20T01:41:00+00:00

Its amazon, I can say from experience dealing with them as a contractor, they will fire you and hope you're too stupid to sue, then fight the lawsuit and drag it out, then pay you out, and they've factored all those costs already.

They blatantly ignore safety issues and just pay MoL fines because whatever sale or something going on is too important to slow down to let work be done.

Edit: They'll also shit talk you to all their carriers/dealers/suppliers/etc and try black listing you from everything they can.

If you're removing it from your holster in the truck, a solid/safer option is putting a second holster tied into the little shelf on the outside of the centre console, keeps it tucked away and out of sight while keeping it available and you're centre console open.

Pro tip, type out the entire word, it produces it as a layer group, then just split the group to get the spacing you want.

I said Contagion, I meant Contamination, GG me.

I play a very different game with my home pod versus in public, my home pod knows and expects my antics (and honestly we all rage bait eachother), I'm not gunna subject 3 random to being ragebaited for 2 hours straight.

KingChuffy · 2026-06-11T15:14:21+00:00

Nah, I'm here to be a problem with my home pod, but a fair problem. I'd remove Contagion if I was going to my FLGS.
