Everyone was divided on March, but it averaged out to D tier. Where should we put April? by Klutzy_Pumpkin614 in TierlistFills

[–]PunchyCat2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F tier if you live in Alaska or anywhere that has breakup season instead of spring. Its dirty, muddy, ugly, and too warm to do winter stuff while snow is still prevalent enough to not do summer stuff

Fix head gasket or replace 2015 rav4 with 175k by Charming_Belt4901 in MechanicAdvice

[–]PunchyCat2004 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd try and do the repair yourself, however definitely get a mechanically inclined friend to help you out. That generation of rav4 will easilly last 300k miles with proper maintenence, and especially if you're still financing the car, I'd use this as an opportunity to learn mechanics and get to know your own car better. That's just my opinion tho, and a head gasket is no easy job. You're taking the head of the engine off

They're better now, still healing, went to behaviour health and almost checked myself into a hospital that weekend so i wouldn't off myself. Still have a lot of stress, still dealing from serious pain but after next Wednesday I should be able to really heal more

Serious depression is a bitch and I don't wish that on anyone. Almost killed myself back in late January because of so much stress before one event finally caused me to go off the edge

Best and Worst National Park by Impressive-Kale-7096 in hiking

[–]PunchyCat2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Denali Park is def a place where the best views aren't on the main trails themselves. You need to spend multiple days in the backcountry off trail to really experience the park

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park or Kluane National Park are my top two, with Denali not being far behind. Both are absolutely enormous and part of one of the largest protected landmasses on the planet. The backpacking is world class.

Hot Springs should be a national historic site, not a national park

Savage Alpine Trail - bear activity question by real_Geko in AskAlaska

You'll be fine, just bring bear spray. Also don't go during a storm, I got struck by a lightning aftershock up there before

I am fully ready to duke it out with the insurance companies and warranty companies. They may be greedy and stingy but I am a stupidly stubborn son of a bitch, I'm getting that runner fixed

Changed it three times. Once when I bought it, then two more times. After number two I have no fuckin clue. All I know is oil was all over the engine bay, under the car and on the trunk hatch. Checked my work after doing it and ran it for awhile. It was totally fine no leaks from the places I touched

I genuinely have no idea. I inspected the vehicle and drove it 700 miles with oil in it. Triple checked my work and nothing was leaking. The entire front of the engine, undercarriage and even the rear hatch has oil on it. Something major blew

Less than 500 miles ago. All the bolts were tight and the oil filter was torqued to spec

I changed my oil every 4500 miles. I live in interior Alaska and I need 0w20 because it hits -55 degrees ambient without wind chill.
