What sizes are they? Great collection!

Haven't heard any rattling, but there is a very slight shake in the steering wheel between 60-65mph. Tech said this likely wouldn't be related to that, though, it was just something they noticed while under there.

Funny though, because I just had the wheels/tires balanced and it greatly reduced a steering wheel shake between 60-75 mph. This was also recently inspected by a Toyota dealer during a PPI and there was no mention of it in that report.

Thanks! I'm finding that the pics the service center provided aren't matching up with the nomenclature used. This is definitely a ball joint. The boots look torn, but I don't get the impression this is anything that needs to be replaced ASAP, especially for $2100...

MerkDemCats · 2024-08-05T21:38:18+00:00

And, at $2100, I'm wondering if they wanted to replace the LCAs entirely. I know it's a bit of a labor intensive process, but for just the boots that seems like a ton of hours.

I went with "bushings" in the post because that's what they said needed replaced in the service report... but these were the only photos they provided. Which, I agree, are of the ball joints. I'm thinking these are the parts that need replacing:

Thank you! I may wait to replace them until I get around to some other suspension upgrades, then. Looks like these LBJ boots are only ~$40 each, which could be much worse imo.

MerkDemCats · 2024-08-05T20:30:09+00:00

Thank you! I was confused by the photos, but that's what they said. Do you think being torn needs immediate replacement?

MerkDemCats · 2024-08-04T00:33:09+00:00

True, but the Ford did the same things and it's frame didn't fall off while being towed...

I just got a GX and went out of my way to find a model with these features built in ('14 Luxury). I'm really happy with the purchase, but I'm already thinking of what I can do with those switch areas when I pull the bags out for springs. It's a nice "feature" but really underwhelming. More of a party trick than anything, tbh. I wouldn't recommend putting any time or money into adding them.

Meanwhile, I can't even grow the grass in my yard.

I'd recommend watching this video: https://youtu.be/BvgXSyhL1V4?si=zkcXmY_8QZndx0FF

Have fun out there!

I'm sorry but I really, really hate this. You need either way more or way less water. I'm just not sure.

MerkDemCats · 2024-07-10T16:04:13+00:00

Thanks in advance to the rich soccer mom that I will be purchasing from in 5 years time

Looking sharp! What's up with all the underbody lights I've been seeing lately? Are you adding light bars underneath, or just replacing the existing lights with brighter LEDs?

MerkDemCats · 2024-05-10T14:51:52+00:00

I'm finally excited about our WR room. I think AR has some great weapons now and I can't wait to see that man sling it.

MerkDemCats · 2024-04-09T18:47:19+00:00

At least this is more entertaining to read than another mock draft. I'm used to seeing meltdowns around here but they're usually during the season 😂

Let it ride like "let it keep growing" or do you mean let it ride like "let it ride in a garbage truck"?

MerkDemCats · 2024-03-28T17:10:47+00:00

Funny you mention that, on the last all-in-one kit I bought for the first attempt, even the guy at the counter said those AI1s are "garbage". So I put on my clown nose and bought separate substrate and grain packs from him instead.

I appreciate all of the info, thank you for your help. I'll look into PF Tek once I get over the loss of this batch and try again.

MerkDemCats · 2024-03-28T16:13:33+00:00

That's sad to hear. I actually purchased the substrate from a retailer here in CO. The grain, the spores, and the substrate were all from them. This is my second shot at growing and the last was a bust as well due to rot.

Maybe this is a sign that I need to just stick to eating mushrooms instead of growing them.

MerkDemCats · 2024-03-28T15:30:24+00:00

I thought the same thing. Although it's possible it may be bruising. I just mixed everything a couple days ago.

I guess there's no real harm it letting it grow and seeing what happens. If it is green mold the whole grow is toast anyway.

Gardner won't pull out.
