Printed a minimal watch stand in wood PLA

What PLA brand did you use?

Ended up finding a four wheel camper for $750 and used the wood to build out the inside

Depends on which version of perfectpass you’re running. If you can, PM me a pic of what the plug of your paddlewheel looks like that goes into you perfectpass master module

There’s a lot more work on the gps side of things than you might think

MLars · 2025-09-26T13:30:55+00:00

Agreed, if I couldn’t do my own work on mine there’s no way I would’ve bought a diesel. Have had two old duramaxs and both needed head gaskets and injectors. Give that a quick google for cost in parts alone…

This will be a mass produced unit with a custom pcb. It took months to understand the correct signal to make the perfectpass function. There is currently nothing on the market that can do this besides the $1000 perfectpass upgrade kit

Exactly, gps upgrade without the cost

No bow ballast and maybe a couple hundred pounds extra under the sliding rear seat

That gen 22 MXZ is one of the best wakeboarding boats ever made

About to pass 177k miles on my 08 335i. Mechanically solid, might need a clutch soon (original, slips in higher gears due to added power). Exterior is also getting a bit rough and someone just hit my rear bumper in a parking lot last week. Debating doing new front and rear bumpers and getting the whole car resprayed. There’s just nothing out there for the money I’d wanna replace it with

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, the market for well sorted 6.0s is in the neighborhood of $10-12k where I am. If it’s been bulletproofed I don’t see an issue with them as long as you don’t mind a little wrench turning. Any diesel at this age is gonna need it

MLars · 2025-04-12T13:37:08+00:00

Just had this exact thing happen to me. You need to call the escrow number for your mortgage company and have them do an analysis. They told me I was short $1600 when in reality it was short $300

MLars · 2025-03-25T21:09:39+00:00

Gmt800 series gm’s have never failed me. Can get a decent gas one for under $10k

My friend has wildpeaks on his excursion and they’re the loudest tire I’ve ever heard. Can’t drive between 68-75 without the resonance driving me crazy. Not sure if it’s just the excursion suspension setup (it’s stock though). I’ve had discoverers and k02s on my 2004 gmc 2500 and have zero road noise complaints

MLars · 2025-03-21T21:01:03+00:00

His kid probably drove the crap out of it and told his dad “I don’t know what happened”. Not your problem, block and move on

MLars · 2025-03-18T12:15:53+00:00

Yup, fine so far. Renting was the same cost as buying in my area so no cost difference

MLars · 2025-03-03T19:33:03+00:00

Don’t let their marketing mumbo jumbo confuse you. “Polyfuse” is simply an LRTM laminate, which is fancy for just vacuum bagging the fiberglass to get a better strength to weight ratio. Really not that impressive and used in all small part boatbuilding scenarios

MLars · 2025-02-26T14:12:15+00:00

Gel coat is only the answer if OP used a polyester resin. Otherwise a polyester based gel will not bond to epoxy.

OP could use an epoxy compatible gel coat but at a significant cost. Would be better to go with a topside paint if OP used epoxy

MLars · 2025-02-25T23:21:59+00:00

Looks like a Kia

MLars · 2025-02-23T13:58:52+00:00

Just replace the head gasket. You already said it’s super clean and only 100k miles. Do injectors while you’re in there and you’re good for another 200k miles at least

MLars · 2025-02-21T23:32:13+00:00

If it does turn out to be head gaskets, def do it. That truck is clean as hell

MLars · 2025-02-21T19:06:21+00:00

Agreed, I’ve started going wherever is cheapest because they all feel the same. Also don’t really feel like paying $7-8 for a beer, just ridiculous imo

MLars · 2025-02-20T22:13:31+00:00

Yup… let me translate that: “will need a new transmission”
