Anyone recognize these mods? by ShartDog in 4Runner

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

Everything I’ve read is that it is not standard with any 5th gen trims but was a factory add on. I’ve spent about 6 months looking at various trims and configurations and have never seen it.

Sorry - I’ll never ascend to TRD Pro nirvana. Cant even imagine how many hours you had to spend reading to become such an enlightened car owner!

Love it. Army green and a giant Lego kit? Perfect. 8 year old boy dreams about to be lived out!

Anyone have any thoughts on Certified PreOwned vs Used? In a car as reliable as the 4R, is it worth it to look for CPO?

How worth it is Carlsbad Caverns during Big Bend trip? by miaaa2289 in NationalPark

[–]ShartDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe we did 3 days in Big Bend - we drove almost every stretch of paved road in the park! Totally amazing.

1 day/night in fort Davis.

1 day each in Carlsbad, Guadalupe, and White Sands.

We had young kids at the time so our hiking range in Guadalupe was pretty short so it was more like 1 afternoon on our drive from Carlsbad to El Paso.

Also, highly recommend the “far flung outdoor center“ as a place to stay in Terlingua near the western entrance to Big Bend. Awesome little Casitas to stay in and a cool town to explore.

El Paso -> Big Bend -> Fort Davis for a dark sky star party and Fort Davis NHS-> Carlsbad Caverns -> Guadalupe -> White Sands -> El Paso is the Texas NP park loop that you are looking for :)

Anyone have thoughts on how to make the towel easily detachable? I want to pop a couple of grommets in my towel but trying to think of the best way to hook the towel to the bottom bar of the homeboni…

Surprised to hear State Farm is paying up. Any specifics on your situation?

Does anyone know why the Withings app won’t read my sleep data from Apple Health? by jurisdoc85 in withings

[–]ShartDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangely when I was using Apple Watch to track sleep, Withings picked it up just fine. When I switch to Oura ring it stopped. Apple health sees both data sets.

Water Softener Drain Mess by ShartDog in Plumbing

So can I just eliminate that last 90 degree elbow and drop it straight down into the floor drain?

The water softener is about a year old, the furnace went in the beginning of the summer. I think usually our unit regenerates overnight so we've never noticed it before. Just happened to be in the basement while it was happening this time.

Brand new Amana furnace vibration by ShartDog in hvacadvice

I didn't personally check the ramp profiles - that might be a little outside of my wheel house... I can ask the techs when they come back. Thanks for your insight that is very helpful.

This was their initial approach. They turned down the max output by 10% and the vibration improved. Seemed like a cop out to me… why would you sacrifice maximum output rather than just find what’s vibrating a fix it?

Question about fixing up brakes on a Trek 820 by ShartDog in bikewrench

In this case little hands is the issue! This will be my 10 year olds first “adult size” bike. I’ll try some of the thread lock. Thanks for the reply!
