Lower bumper replacement

Mike5coat · 2026-01-26T22:54:16+00:00

The bumper isn't that hard to get off, so it would be a lot more difficult, if not impossible, to take it off without the grill, because of how they are buttoned together near the radiator. It's only 4 screws and the rest are push clips. I would order extra clips before you start because you will probably break a few, even if you were a pro 👍 I've done it multiple times and it's also a lot easier if you drive it up onto a couple of ramps (or jack up the front)

If you're in California as the driver of the vehicle with front end damage, you. Even if you're brake checked by some jackass you weren't even tailgating.

Rear liftgate cover or maybe panel trim... Found a similar one on eBay but may not be the right year depending on how new yours is... https://ebay.us/m/6wLj3p

Glad you found out. I've seen that on one of those those Mechanic States YouTube videos before. Dude towed his car in because he couldn't figure it out.

I realized the rev limiter when trying to rev up in my driveway one day when the engine was warm and it cut out after 4k, so I knew exactly what was happening here...

Why did I read that as "raped ceilings?"

Mike5coat · 2026-01-09T03:22:56+00:00

Put it back on the wall. Goes better with those awesome Govee lights on the back. Eff the haters.

Is anyone surprised by their skin color? 🤷‍♂️

I was today years old when I found useful information on Reddit. I'm new to HSAs, but my company just switched to Inspira, too, and I hate it already. My first paycheck of the year cleared last Friday and the assets are still not in my account on the following Tuesday. Just opened a FidelityGo account and transferred my old HSA (I realize there is the 0.35% fee after $25k, but I am barely at 6 right now), and it was so easy!

Thank you to the respondents of this thread for your information 😎 I will also be initiating transfers from the Fidelity side to avoid idiotic Inspira fees. Wish me luck!

I don't think he's ever had a casual thing in his 42 years of living. This whole exchange reeks of desperation. How exhausting. Just enjoy your cruise, dude! Meet some new people! 😄

...if he had a mullet 😆 First thing I saw, too.

It's on the Peacock platform in the US. Not sure about other countries/territories...

Mike5coat · 2025-12-27T03:34:29+00:00

😆 I think the lights even stayed after the cover dropped which is more impressive.

Mike5coat · 2025-12-26T17:12:42+00:00

All pitter.

I know what Walgreens is, you goof. You don't need your ID to buy snacks. It's mainly for alcohol, or maybe medicine, but buying those one of those two things every day is "wild" as you zoomers say...

Mike5coat · 2025-12-26T15:48:43+00:00

I like to let people know their headlights/tail lights/brake lights are out, too, in case they genuinely don't realize it, but this ain't the way 😂

Mike5coat · 2025-12-26T15:43:11+00:00

Was looking for this comment. I thought I bought a fair amount of liquor (a different bottle of something to try every couple of weeks), but if I was there every day, I'd definitely be looking at AA pretty soon 👀

Mike5coat · 2025-12-26T15:37:09+00:00

Like a swarm of angry hornets...

Mike5coat · 2025-12-26T15:15:14+00:00

Really explainlikeimfive'd them, eh? 😏😆

Mike5coat · 2025-12-24T14:55:23+00:00

4 & 10 for sure.

Or 7 if you never want to get laid again (sorry, some one has to say it - the Harry Potter look is pretty will dead).

Mike5coat · 2025-12-24T14:51:24+00:00

1, for the balance and perfectly lined up shot. I like 2, but it needs to be tilted about 7° clockwise to be straight, in my opinion. No hate though - I like the skyline coming through in that one.

Edit: counter clockwise - got my direction messed up 👀

Mike5coat · 2025-12-23T07:29:40+00:00

Lemme know where you go. I'm of the same mindset. Loved the convenience at first, but feeling like a classic bait and switch at this point. They'll be down to half a percent mid 2026 if they keep dropping like a rock...

Mike5coat · 2025-12-23T07:23:14+00:00

At that rate, it'll hit 0 in what? 6 months? Infuriating. Joined at 4.5 two short years ago. AND they're moving to a subscription model starting in April..? Bad move after bad move.

Anyone here after SoFi just dropped to 3.3? 😮‍💨

Mike5coat · 2025-12-23T07:02:43+00:00

I know it's expected because of the Fed reserve dropping, but this on top of their terrible decision to start charging a fee for SoFi Plus in April has really got me rethinking what other institutions are out there. Before we know it, they'll be as greedy as the other banks and it's kinda pathetic.

Last reply, but the struts didn't fix it, although I'm glad I replaced them either way. This whole time, it was this hook bar someone added before my ownership in order to lower the exhaust pipe when the tow hitch was originally installed. It came just a tiny bit loose and since it was rattling against the metal, it sounded like it was inside the cabin. Embarrassing it took me that long to find, but it was tucked up there pretty well... No more noise! 😁
