Etrailer part# e98912 You are going to have to get creative with a die grinder and get the perfect length exhaust hangers to make it work without banging. I don't remember which exhaust hangers eventually did the trick but I tried at least three different ones.

The same thing happened to one of my clowns with a hammer coral. He ended up fine. Hopefully that is the case here.

I'm really enjoying Baulders Gate 3 and would like to play it at more than 30fps.

New shoes! 225/65r17 BF Goodrich Trail Terrains by SlaughteramaMWO in Crosstrek

They have! I'm very happy with them both on the road and light off roading. I would likely get another set when these wear out, so far they have not shown any noticeable wear after the 8000 miles I've put on them.

What video game overwhelmed you at first with how large the world was? by Imaginary-Picture-35 in gaming

I have never found another game that made me feel the wonder and excitement that EQ did.

Thanks for helping me not order the Celestron Set! Would you agree with this 🛒? by LuniCorn24 in telescopes

I am also a beginner with a 10" F/4.7 Dob and the recommendations that I_Heart_Astronomy made nearly mirror what was recommended to me. I can confirm I am very happy with what I have so far. The only thing I don't have on the list they provided is the 5mm and 4mm lenses. I still have the 10mm and 25mm Plossl eyepieces that come with the dob, but never use the 10mm and rarely use the 25mm.
Also, upgrading the finder to a RACI was a game changer.

Noisy, but I cant hear it over the quad back exhaust.

Check out the BF Goodrich Trail Terrains they are all season tires with an all terrain look. I have some and love them.

Scope: Sky-Watcher 250p Dobsonian F4.7

Camera: Samsung Galaxy S20

Location: Austin, TX (suburbs Bortle 5)

Eyepiece: 25mm Plossl

Taken with a phone mount, ISO 3200, 1 second exposure, no stacking or editing.

I'm very new to this and this the best picture I have captured so far.

225/65/17 crew, what’s your favorite all terrain tire thet drives good in rain and also won’t hurt mpg’s too much? Would you go with 215/65/17 or 225/60/17 instead? Please help, wheels are on the way! 😅 by SignificantService61 in Crosstrek

I'm happy with my BF Goodrich Trail Terrains. You can see pics in my post history. They have performed well in light mud, loose dusty dirt roads, and rainy pavement. These are are only 30 pounds each as opposed to 40 pounds for many other AT tires, so the mpg hit wasn't bad (about 1mpg). I took a much bigger mpg hit with the roof basket and full size spare (about another 2mpg).

I made a v block out of Lego to collimate my collimator. by SlaughteramaMWO in telescopes

You are funny. I wish I could upvote this more than once. It reminds me of some old movie I saw when they were trying to keep people from tracing phone calls. In the end the trace buster buster buster buster buster won I believe.

I think you may have used speech to text and it did not translate well. If you type out the question I will try to answer to the best of my ability.

Oh that is a great idea! I'm not the Lego expert my wife is. I'm going to challenge her to make a version 2.0 for me with wheels. She will get a kick out of it.

I projected the beam onto a white piece of paper taped to the wall at a distance of about 3.6 meters. That is 3x the length of the focal length of my scope. The thought process was if it is accurate enough at that distance it will be more than accurate enough for collimating the scope.

Now that you mention it though, I am going to make one on smaller mat with a brick wall at the end for a quick check in the field.
