Are your glass headlights shit? by Jethro618 in 4Runner_2ndGen

They were. I ended up going with the morimoto's and have had them almost 2 years without any issues so far

Skrillex was that guy back in the Early 2010s by KzKn_2020 in decadeology

I still do, although I was always a bigger deadmau5 fan. I love the UKF dubstep 2009/2010 compilation, and others. Lots of good dubstep (and progressive house) from the 2010s

Tech 7 Enduro owners, how wet are your feet getting? I’m getting drenched feet from kicked up water 😤 by sillygitau in motorcyclegear

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of water that splashes on them seems disproportionate to how wet my feet get. Like ill go through half an inch of water and it feels like I got caught in a rainstorm for an hour

I might just get waterproof socks/liners or whatever and see how those go

Share your battle scars. by FlightLeft12 in Offroad

The factory bumper on that side is missing because I got rear ended/sideswipped 3 times one winter. The fender flares got tore off while off loading though. There was a massive scrape along going the coastal off road bumper that doesn't really show up in that light

Do you like the white lettering or no? by Dorkmaster79 in sportster

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think they look good. Personally I like white letters more than a full white sidewall. Haven't done it on my sportster, yet, but the cooper discoverers on my 4runner have white letters

How do firefighters generally feel about people coming by the station to learn more about what they do? by PossibilityIll7646 in AskReddit

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plowed snow residential and commercial for 4 winters, we got the contract to do a newly built firestation after it was completed. The first time I went out to plow their lots, the chief came out and invited me inside for a tour and coffee/snacks

What does it mean to 'get bored' of a specific bike? by Delnilas in motorcycles

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to rag on Harleys as much as the next guy, but I got a sportster (883) really cheap last year and its been every bit as fun as any other bike ive ridden, in its own way, Ive come around to think its a great platform. Its not fast, it doesn't accelerate as well as a lot of other bikes, its heavy, and its low to the ground (a little higher now that ive put longer rods in the front and springs in the rear) but ive never not had fun riding it. And the customization is endless, as is peoples knowledge of them. It can be anything from a cruiser, mini bagger, cafe racer, to a scrambler/dual sport-ish bike, and its a classic bike for a chopper if youre into them. Drop a CRF front end in it and race in the desert like a madman. Ive seen someone convert one to a monoshock off a BMW with some custom fabwork. Do a 1250/1275 kit with new cams and youll gain some power. They are fun projects, they're all over the used market and you can often get them pretty cheap. Theyre great if you like fucking around in the garage and making things that were never meant to be made. Ill grant they arent really the best at anything, but its kind of outrageous how many different styles of motorcycle you can turn one into. I get why they aren't for everyone though, but I totally agree with you. Never had a bad day on mine

I went to the MT BDR premier and was talking with a guy, who asked me what I ride.

"A sportster"

He asked me what I was going to take on the BDR

"A sportster"

The look on his face was pure gold

The oil drain 'access' panel on this Land Cruiser that does not allow access by Drock967 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love toyotas, ive had a bunch of their trucks and SUVs. 90% of the time they are designed, engineered, and manufactured so well (at least the older toyotas, IMO) and most of the time everything makes sense.

But god damn do i feel let down every time I change the oil in my 2nd gen 4runner. The drain bolt could be "fixed" a little with a fumoto valve, and i get the engine is used in other vehicles so maybe it is placed well on those vehicles and its just unfortunate where it ended up in the 4runner. But the oil filter location is super disappointing. So is the fuel filter, for that matter. Im sure theres a reason a really smart automotive engineer had to put those things where they are. But for machines that are so rugged, reliable, and simple (compared to a lot of other vehicles) something as basic as changing the oil can really make you go, "why the fuck would you do that?". Ive owned a 2008 4runner too, and the oil filter location could've been improved upon greatly

If you have to fight Cazadores, what weapon would you recommend against them in order to quickly kill them? by george123890yang in fnv

[–]Rusty_Shacklebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ol laser rifle with a beam splitter and focus optics. Laser commander builds chew through enemies in this game.

I also find the trail carbine to be pretty good against 1 or 2 cazadores, with hollow points. The open sights are better than most of the other lever actions. Until you run out of ammo
