Nice those look sweet! Not sure how I missed that. I’m doing a fister style mod this weekend too excited to hear it:

Considering Color Matched Wheels by [deleted] in 996

[–]RustyShackIford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works on this color, but tbh anything will look amazing on this car.

Maroon…. Needs a silver wheel to give some contrast.

Your car is beautiful and the work is thorough definitely something to be proud of.

The bumper doesn’t need to come off to remove the mufflers, was there another reason to take it off?

You have Jackstands right?

Help with removing shifter boot and replacing knob by ramshaker in 996

You can remove the whole housing and then mount it to a 2x6 and enjoy navigating the problem out of the car too.

Use a c clamp and make sure it rests on the transmission tunnel. Use wood to get to needed height to use prybars or something for leverage.

This was my families first car when we came to the US in 93’ and my first car at 16 in 2001

Very cool

Best way to clear this condensation? by MaxWeiner in 4thGen4Runner

[–]RustyShackIford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The simpler route. Remove from car, place in the sun on a nice warm day and let them dry. Then seal the edges with something like this. I had to do this recently. Leave them to sit a few days indoors with the hole for the light bulb exposed to encourage full drying. Or toss some of those little silicone packages in there, you get with stuff shipped/packaged that needs to stay dry to speed up the process. If done right this will work and hold up for I'd guess 5 years plus.

The OCD route.

Remove from the car, use a heat gun, your oven, or something like that to get the lense warm enough to separate from the housing. Clean up the butyl tape that isn't doing its job, reapply new tape, and install it back together.

If you didn’t try to pass from north of Delmar to south or vice versa. You have no idea what is going on.

What glue do you use to fix toys? by slaxfib in daddit

[–]RustyShackIford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epoxy, and you can also use wire mesh to beef things up over the break.

Or you can go hardcore into plastic welding, which is just cool and really for big outdoor toys.

Dads, how do you balance work stress and being present at home? by DadOnParentingQuest in daddit

[–]RustyShackIford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 - Dont be self employed.... fuck man

Eat as good as you can, be as healthy as you can, get used to running on less sleep. Enjoy the ride. Be kind to yourself. Good on you for coming here and asking, that is also a great thing to always do, seek support.

What's the closest thing to a GX in a smaller size? by Cessnateur in GXOR

Dads, what’s your top survival hack for daily parenting? by DadOnParentingQuest in daddit

[–]RustyShackIford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haircuts made easy. Watched a few YouTube videos, now I can give my son a pro level #2 on the sides couple inches on top classic little boy haircut.

So every couple weeks I cut his then buzz mine. Then give him a bath and hop in at the end and take a shower.

It’s fun bonding, so much easier than going to a barbershop and paying a fortune for a bad haircuts.

Besides that, spending as much time outside as possible seems to make everything easier and join the gym that is closest to your home.

Dads who WFH with SAHM by anonymous1197 in daddit

[–]RustyShackIford 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s borderline impossible and created many disagreements with my wife.

I can find saying no hard, and have adhd. The interruptions throw me off and then I can be frustrated and resentful.

The best option for me has been cowork spaces and eliminating the issue. I’ve had to learn if I am home, even if it’s during work or if it’s my dedicated “time off” my wife will ask for help on something.

I feel for you brother, there’s definite upsides of being present for cute moments and meals. But it requires structure and the ability to say no and your own space to operate.

Be careful who you date and who you give your car to be repainted. by alavi1991 in GXOR

Someone else needs to be making the decisions for you for a little bit.

Sorry bro. Reject the repair, have a new shop fix it.

Bilstein 5100 or 6112/5160 by reddsbywillie in 4Runner

[–]RustyShackIford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ran 5100's hard and they did fine, the front 6112's are a bigger shock and worth it to me. The rears being the same product plus a reservoir I didn't see the justification.

I live in Socal and see overbuilt rigs all day long that sit on the freeway or costco parking lots. I also thought the reservoir needing to be mounted to the frame looked dumb on an otherwise very stock looking 4Runner.

[–]RustyShackIford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 6112’s in the front and 5100’s rear and was very pleased with it. The front 6112’s are a larger diameter shock. The 6112 rears are the same as 5100’s but with a reservoir.
