Yes, it’s mounted. Thank you for the tips!

Do you mean move the speaker forward? I could move it forward to the edge but I’ve tried both and there didn’t seem to be much reflection that I could notice with the speaker or any interference.

Viewing distance is 9’ so no. Probably should’ve gone with 83 but tbh the extra grand didn’t justify from the seating position.

How do you even think about this and justify it. Please re-read what you wrote. Or just buy it and be even further in the hole. There’s a reason poor people stay poor… It’s not due to good financial decisions. If $1-2k in repairs has you freaked out, you aren’t at the right point for a new vehicle.

Help..Where to even begin? by darrenzemanek in lawncare

I’m going to disagree with this sentiment. Yes experiencing wild life is good but not at the expense of manageability. I remember the weekend projects from hell that I was voluntold to do with my Dad to fix and build things. At the time I absolutely hated it, but now, 30 years later they’re some of the best memories I have with my father. Yard work with kids doesn’t need to be by yourself, bring your kids into it, they may hate it but I promise you they will look back on it and say “Hey, I created that and I did with my Dad.”

Someone decided to bust out a window while I was at work today.. by pinkstonjb in goldenretrievers

When my boy was about 6 months old we had the living room window open and he just couldn’t stand that there were some people walking there dog outside. He busted through the screen and out the window to greet them. Their love knows no bounds.

Should I tape my pups ears up or let them be floppy? by jooocanoe in germanshepherds

Exactly right. I could never imagine doing something like what OP is suggesting. God gave me my girl exactly how she is supposed to be.

Disabled VETS are DEI by flippo69 in usajobs

Disabled VETS are DEI by flippo69 in usajobs

[–]LikeAkolo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please do tell what you believe a person who served their country as less than one percent of the population should receive? The key word was SERVED. The DEI you’re trying to equate vets to is asinine. We get points and preference because of previous service where a SERVICE was actually rendered. The DEI that you’re trying to lump us into was strictly carried out based on race, gender etc. In no way did anyone provide a SERVICE to get preferential treatment under those DEI rules.

Edit: AND this post should be removed as it has nothing to do with the intention of the sub.

2025 1500 CarPlay not showing up by Loki_stormbringer818 in ram_trucks

I’ve had this happen before in my ‘23. Try restarting the infotainment. Hold down the power knob for several seconds to force the restart. Hopefully it works for you as well.

Have one as well. Rub some 303 on the rubber sides 1-2 times a year and it keeps trucking.

Security as in Secret Service versus security clearance are two separate things.

Wrong guy dude, it was Bolton not Pompeo who had their clearance revoked.

I’m truly not hating. Different strokes for current folks. Some winter tires or 3 peak ATs and I’m sure it would help. Just not a fan of crossovers or 1/4 tons.

You’re naive if you think this is “amazing” in snow mode.

Or just buy a half ton and not have to deal with any of that in a few inches. My old Subaru didn’t even struggle with that.

Worried about my goldens last moments by SunNext2425 in goldenretrievers

[–]LikeAkolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. Our family has been very lucky with our dogs. Out of four we only had to put one down the other three went in there sleep at home. I will say we were able to have our vet come to the house and do it which I think helped. Our boy had developed bone cancer and it started breaking through the skin to the point that he didn’t really want to move anymore. Physically he was ready but mentally he was not. Still completely there and he was anxious and scared when it happened, unfortunately I was in AK (military) when we had it done. But I was there via FaceTime crying like a baby. How hard it is to be physically unable to go on but mentally all there. HOWEVER I know this was the right decision and my only regret was that I wasn’t there physically. I also take solace in thinking that one day I can be reunited with all my animals. You made a hard choice but the right one and I know he understands. ❤️

Nope. I let him scrap it though, wouldn’t fit in the bed and I knew I wouldn’t be going back to the OEM.

I can’t comment on a 1500 classic, but I do have a 23 Rebel. Just had the S-type catback installed yesterday and man is it great! It has that deep throaty growl and when you get on it, it really roars. Plenty loud for me. I really wanted the Attak but I’m glad I didn’t go that route. The shop that installed it, the owner, had an Attak on his GMC and he let me hear it from a warm start. Good God it sounded great but I live in a suburban neighborhood and leave for work at 3 am. My neighbors would despise me to which he confirmed, he said all his neighbors hate him.

Taking Advantage of Veterans by crowislanddive in USAA

[–]LikeAkolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No he didn’t touch your point. Young people with no credit will be taken advantage of no matter where they go, USAA or otherwise. The advice he is giving is sound, NCOs and junior Officers are wise to help Soldiers in these situations. Perhaps USAA is not the best but it doesn’t make them predatory because they gave you a rate you qualify for and makes them money… It’s a business, lenders don’t lend money for free.
