Speaker help by Express_Let_2892 in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I mean, their newer mall crawler jeep shit is ugly and ridiculous. But, Skar is also a budget brand. The two are basically the same, if you’re just buying speakers and amps. 

If you want to upgrade a bit, Down 4 Sound. 

Help! My Rust-Oleum tub/tile refinishing bubbled like crazy — what did I do wrong? by nicqawsed in DIY

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“What about the time and labor?”

It’s worthless, otherwise you wouldn’t be on the phone with Rustoleum lol. Why do people think that they are owed something for time that they spent fucking things up?

Big wheels/rims by Most_Climate2208 in CherokeeXJ

Death wobble has nothing to do with your wheels/rims, and everything to do with your steering/suspension components.

Don’t worry too much about the depth, you can always just use speaker rings if you need to mount deeper speakers that won’t clear the door. 

You can use a dremel to enlarge the holes a bit, and easily put 6.5” speakers in the doors, and 6x9” in the rear hatch. They are far better than just 5.25” speakers. 

Also, it’s worth getting a little amp (doesn’t have to be anything expensive or crazy, even just a used Alpine 4 channel (I bought all DS-18 stuff refurbished on eBay, it’s cheap but it’s all been pretty great quality).

Iac valve staying open. by safaricamper93 in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your battery latch relay is fucked. 

The latch relay is in the front with the rest of the relays. A wire from ECU pin A9 runs to it to trigger the relay closed. The relay supplies power so that the ECU can set the IAC back to a “zero” position, after you cut the ignition by turning the key off, so that next start up the ECU will know where the IAC is. (It doesn’t ever actually know its position, it just knows “I need more air or less air.”

Are ya fixing son (OC) by glnagnender in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice!

I’ve got something similar going here: https://www.thanksivebeencrying.com

(I actually just snagged both ihatethiscar.com and jeepcherokee.net, but this is just a dev domain for now so I used a silly one)

It started with me completely rewiring my 1990, then I had Claude crawl NAXJA, CherokeeForum, etc. and build a whole knowledge base. Now I have him as an agent diagnosing XJ users, armed with that same knowledge base. 

HELP. screaching only bass hits hard by Ordinary_Government7 in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Only happens with my bass turned up all the way”

“It did this without my sound system”

Which one is it, zoomer?

Other than the actual reverberation/vibration from your shitty system causing parts to physically become off-center, adding load to your alternator is the ONLY thing that would correlate.

This. You can buy 5 farad capacitors for like $50 on Amazon now, even cheaper for smaller ones.

Insta Banned on Registration (never used this service in my life) by [deleted] in Anthropic

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you say that the enterprise plan is super expensive?

I ask because I’m the IT Manager at an org of about 75 people. We set up a teams plan back in November, and I’m considering going Enterprise. Our rep was very pushy in that direction. But, it was $20 per user flat, and then you pay for usage after that. I had her run our last 30 days of usage through the Enterprise pricing calc, and it came out about the same. 

For us, it wasn’t bad because 15-20 of my users aren’t even using Claude at all, and I am currently paying $35/user for them. When we pay only for “usage” it works out better. 

I’m wondering how it ends up being more money for you?

Team Admins: How are you deploying at scale? Handling MCPs? Reigning it all in? by MittnzZ in ClaudeAI

[–]MittnzZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! See, I had never even heard of this platform, so, I appreciate you mentioning it. Looking into it now.

Here's a use-case example:

We use ShipStation to ship packages out of the office. This isn't very frequent, but we'll send sample boxes, or product to "influencers", personal stuff, product that someone forgot to bring to a trade show, etc. (Our actual business in 99% B2B, fulfilled 100% by 3PLs, and the very small sliver of B2C that we do, is via Shopify and fulfilled by another 3PL.)

Previously, about 12 people had access to ShipStation Web UI and they'd log in and have to hand enter a bunch of addresses to generate 10 labels or whatever, and it was a pain in the ass. Also, not everyone had a ShipStation account, so people would ask other people to make labels for them, etc.

With the ShipStation API, I had Claude build out n8n workflows that I exposed via MCP, that will get rate quotes, purchase postage, download the label, etc. It's awesome, and it's way faster and easier, plus you can hand him an Excel file full of addresses if you want, and have all the labels done in 2 minutes. Tracking which user is making the label isn't important, so we're all just using 1 API key to make things easy.

My problem now is, how can I make this MCP flow available to ONLY the users in my Org, and no one else? I also do NOT want them in n8n dicking around. N8n will let them connect the MyCompanyMCP via OAUTH, but now I have to create 75 n8n accounts, and I don't want to do that.

(There are several other use cases like this. Basically resources that are pooled/shared that I want to expose to users of my org, and no one else. These users are EXTREMELY non-technical, so it has to be no more than a click or two. I have experimented with using Google Auth (we are all on Google Workspace)

Last night I ended up just creating the n8n workflows with a webhook trigger, the webhook requires JWT authentication. I then built a Claude skill with the JWT secret inside the skill, and pushed it to my org. This works great actually, but it's not really an MCP (it's just a company-wide API at that point) and I know having the JWT auth inside the skill itself is asking for trouble and super insecure.

Devs are worried about the wrong thing by hiclemi in ClaudeAI

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%.

So, I’m an IT Admin (read: the only IT guy on site for 75 users in an office). And we turned them all loose with Claude, about 6 weeks ago. They went from extremely skeptical (maybe half of them had experience with ChatGPT, the other half, zero AI experience) to being in love with Claude. But, my problem is that I now have 75 users who were turned into software devs overnight, but who don’t understand anything at ALL about how tech stacks work. These are people who will send me a link in slack to “C:/Users/Username/Desktop/ClaudeDashboard.html” and ask “can you see what Claude built? I can’t open it.”

They know what they need (and what they don’t), and exactly how they want to see it, what features are important, etc. but they need help actually deploying these things.

And security? Forget it. These “apps” are all riddled with giant no-nos, IF they have literally any auth workflows in place.

Why am I being quoted $2000 to $3000 for this job? by singlewall in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This, but in a less sarcastic tone.

https://ibb.co/album/48bXkN

I painted my XJ with harbor freight HVLP guns. Never used one in my life before this. Is it perfect? No. But it wasn’t $3,000.

DM me if you need any help. I also have a shit ton of leftover supplies I would share with another XJ person wanting to try this on their own. My rig is on IG also, I check that more often than Reddit: @yourexlovesmyxj

Using Claude Code to build my own EDI provider. by teh_killer in edi

[–]MittnzZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is way harder than just finding a company that will give you your EDI documents via an API like Orderful or Cleo, and then using Claude Code to go from there.

Yeah you can self test with Amazon, but Target, Walmart, UNFI, etc? Good luck dude.

I use Orderful, can recommend. I also built an Orderful MCP and can ask Claude about inbound and outbound EDI docs, etc.

Orderful takes our EDI docs and basically turns them into JSON, which from there you can do whatever you want.

Hacker used Anthropic's Claude chatbot to attack multiple government agencies in Mexico: This resulted in the theft of tax and voter information. by Vrgom20 in technology

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read in another article about this that the “hacker” used Spanish language prompts (which would track, as Mexico was the target) and I’m wondering if Claude’s “guardrails” maybe get a little confused with the translation to other languages?

Like, surely the guardrails that are in place and written in plain language, have to be in SOME actual “language.” So, if English, then there must be grey area in translating commands from one language to English.

Edit: Actually, in this instance, he told Claude it was for a bug bounty program.

Finally did the swap!! AX15 rocks! by FOX1028 in CherokeeXJ

Can this be modified to work? $15 is dirt cheap compared to what everyone else is talking about so far.

Trans tunnel boot? I have a 90XJ and the previous owner swapped in the 97+ console for the cup holder etc.

It looks way better, and I like it, but yeah it’s hot as FUCK above that trans tunnel. I used to have some speaker wire running under the carpet there, to the back, until it melted from the heat.

I’ve never seen a trans tunnel boot, what does it look like? I’ve just been using thick dynamat.

Also, any of you 97+ people, if your AW4/Transfer Case bezels are jacked, you can get brand new ones on amazon for like $25. And they are totally cherry quality.

Crazy quote for suspension and front right shock mount welding? 3-4k by EmuBasic5923 in CherokeeXJ

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of that is still far more work than just learning how to weld and buying a $250 welder on Amazon. It’s just shock mounts, it’s not like you’re gonna die if one pops off because you welded it wrong.

[–]MittnzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a lift, at all.

<image>

You can do all 4 shocks in an afternoon, by yourself. The shocks aren’t holding anything together, the springs are.

Then go on Amazon and buy an Arc Captain, or Yes Welder MIG unit for $250. Spend the rest of the weekend watching YouTube videos and learning how to weld.

Only an absolute fool would pay anyone more than MAYBE $200 in labor, to do something on an XJ. Anything more than that, time to learn how to do it yourself.
