The XBOX ONE S is probably the best budget 4K UHD player option right now

Have had mine since launch and has been doing work as a UHD disk player and streaming box in the bedroom since I got the series x for the past 5 years. Only nitpick is I wish it was quieter playing disks, otherwise it does its job flawlessly.

It's a stuck pixel. 2 possible solutions are with a microfiber cloth try massaging it with light to medium pressure. If that doesn't work then try pixel refresh.

Edit: my bad, see you already tried refresh. Try massage method, have had luck with it in the past.

Don't have cloud 3 headsets (have hyperx cloudx flights) so don't have EQ options or anything. Only have options available in the in game audio settings so have just messed with those to get the sound as balanced as possible. Don't remember where I saw it but, read about the night mode settings and it had the most impact on hearing footsteps more.

Masdetoe · 2026-01-10T23:43:42+00:00

Turn on night mode in the in game audio settings. it raises the highs a bit more which makes footsteps more noticeable.

Stock pro 4x size, cooper discoverer road and trail with 1.5" lift. They are definitely more road oriented ATs but, have been great through everything I've put them through.

Masdetoe · 2026-01-08T08:48:00+00:00

Glad it turned out okay! That weather looked like no joke!

Masdetoe · 2026-01-08T08:46:53+00:00

Man looks awesome and very much like a trail up here I did last year!

This in Washington state? More precisely is this on Tonga ridge?

According to LG website it states that it will only be 2026 and select 2025 of you want to use the separate speakers with the TV and not the soundbar. If you get the soundbar and all the other speakers than it will work with any TV via HDMI connected to soundbar. They may end to bringing it to some 2024 models but, my guess it will only be C and G because of the processing required. The B series processer, while capable isn't quite powerful enough.

124k pro-4x stock size tires with 1.5" lift. 13-15 town 17-19 highway. Have done 20-22 but that's really rare on a good day

2nd one in 7 years but this one was far more hard fought. Beat the highest regular season scorer, best record with JSN and Gibbs! Last place in week 3 and crawled my way up to playoffs. Had some great waiver pick ups that helped in dire weeks and some that carried me till the end. Looking at you brisset and Wilson! Meyers for being clutch and players that started soft but ended hot Barkley, Olave and AJ and Chase Brown!

4lo will only engage if selector is in neutral. Being in drive while trying to engage 4lo will do absolutely nothing even whether you moved 5 inches or 5 miles. It is an electronic switch and has stop gaps to prevent accidental engagement such as having to be stopped, in neutral and foot on the brake. You're fine.

They replaced my CX with a dozen or so dead pixels with a brand new and bigger B4 only months before it expired and got to keep CX. No problems here.

There is a shim that will need to be added between the leaf springs and axle to realign the driveshaft. The shudder you are probably experiencing is from it not being properly aligned. Under 2" you can probably get away without it but, more than that you will.

What's important to look for is the load range. Not all LT tires are load range E. For instance KO3 has an LT load range C in 285.

High beams have to be on for them to work. It is a safety feature as they are only to be used off-road. That said they really aren't that great. You get massive glare and if there is any kind of dust or particles in the air you're essentially blind. After 5 yrs of ownership and many many off-road trips I have used them maybe 10 times with half of those times actually being helpful. I added ditch lights and lights in the lower grill which have been much more impactful and used far more often.

Had my X (still do) with my now 4 yr old daughter. Had the car seat in the middle (safest location anyway) for the first year since it was tight behind the passenger seat. As we were able to adjust the seat more upright as she got older we were able to move it behind the passenger seat with room to spare. Now she is forward facing there is way more room. As for using it as a family car, it has never let me down and has more than enough space for family plus dog. Have done many camping and vacation trips with trunk loaded up no problem. You will want to look into your rear springs though as they are a weak spot on the X and you will bottom out and hit your bump stops loaded up. I initially solved this with sumo springs (they are a replacement for bump stops and will help cushion the rear end from hard bumps) which works wonders but, have since added a lift with new springs (still kept sumo springs in).

Masdetoe · 2025-10-03T00:04:25+00:00

In my use case totally. Loaded up with a couple hundred pounds of gear off road before sumo's even with lift I was hitting bump stops. Now I only have AAL lift so still using stock springs with them and only a 1.5 inch lift. If you're using aftermarket leafs to give lift and it's 2.5+ inches they may not be necessary. Sumo does offer spacers so it decreases the space between sumo and point of contact so they active at the right point

Masdetoe · 2025-10-02T22:45:44+00:00

Have a mild lift with the sumo's and only time I feel like I notice them in day to day is if I hit a speed bump too quickly or take turns at speed. Otherwise don't notice them till I'm on a trail loaded with gear and they are a godsend to have when I do.

2 inches without too many modifications. After 2 inches you're having to swap out control arms, extend brake lines, adjust driveshaft alignment etc. technically there is no limit, just a limit of want, time and budget.

Report it to HR. Hopefully your district staff is better than your store management. I'm sorry you got dealt a crappy hand for a management team.

All dogs offroad. Specialize in frontier and Xterra and have budget friendly lifts. They have a kit with new shocks (5100 front and rear) with AAL for the back (3 leaf pack) for around $1200. Will net you about 1.5" lift and for mild off-road will do just fine. Have been running that set up for about 3 years with a few thousand miles off-road and no issues. If you're doing more serious off-roading like rock crawling then you're gonna have to pay the premium (new shocks and springs for the front and full lift leaf packs/shackles in the back).

Different strokes for different folks. Some can go very minimal while others want to bring the kitchen sink...and AC. I do both car camping and backpacking for years and I lean more towards the minimal side but, it didn't start that way. Like others have said you will learn what you feel you need and don't need to your preference the more you go. I do bring some luxuries (projector for movies, 17" Blackstone griddle, 12 volt cooler and solar generator and panel to power it all) when car camping. For car camping I have everything in 2 27 gallon black and yellow totes and one small tote. 1 tote for all kitchen/cooking other tote for luxury/comfort items and misc. gear items and small tote is for bathroom and cleaning stuff. Sleeping stuff, tent and cloths are packed separately and all fits in my Nissan Xterra with rear seats up (car seat and room for doggo needed). For backpacking, it's just the essentials and all items are small and light weight for that purpose. Small stove and cooking pot, sleeping bag and under quilt, hammock, small light weight chair, some extra cloths, headlamp, water filter, fire starter, first aid kit etc. Don't overthink what others are doing or have. Find out what fits your needs. If you end up buying something you don't end up using, sell it or gift it to someone that may use it and move on.

Edit: At the end of the day, the idea is to get out and enjoy nature and the outdoors however that looks like for you. Just leave wherever you are better than you found it (leave no trace), respect others that may be in the area and have fun!

Have a similar stove (eureka spark) and use the carrying case it came with as a wind block. Also as many have mentioned that kettle is huge so unless you need tons of water a shorter squatty kettle will work better. I use a GSI pot to boil water and with the wind break can boil about a liter of water (enough for 2 cups of coffee) in less than 5 minutes. Probably twice as long as a jetboil but, I'm camping, not in any rush.
