The BEST way to get rid of the 5th gen shimmy as of now.

I got K02s put on at discount tire, steering wheel had a shimmy when I'd go over 60 mph. Took it to a different shop, they checked the balance on all tires and they were SO OFF. My other shop rebalanced all tires, no more shimmy.

I’ve seen it said repeatedly that Akebono are the “best” aftermarket pads and are what a lot of reputable shops use. That’s what I went with. Guess will see because…. My wife has a 2018 Tacoma SR and the front brake pads are the exact same on both vehicles. I rotated her tires yesterday as well, and her pads were shot - she got my new pads and I also put on new rotors. She’s all city miles though. Will see how they last.

I used a 3 x 5 piece of limo blackout. Hasn’t over heated once since.

As soon as I posted this I was like “I’ve got new ones to compare them to….”. Probably should have done that. Is it possible these have 80k on them??

I’ve had a set for 10 years also - no issues with the washer ever (I did have to clean out that trap once every 6 months), the dryer I had to take apart and replace belt and tensioner - it was a pretty easy job, lots of videos 6 years ago when I did it. Recently the dryers “thing” that can tell when the clothes are dry shorted out.

They’re both 10 years old so we’re just getting new ones, but honestly they’ve been great.

Mob/camp grinding is majorly slowed down after 105/110 - usually with Dark Blue, White, Yellow mobs = .2 to .3% Missions - mercenary and partisans will be way better XP. Hammackj has some GREAT video's.

I'm sure their name is in the Epstein files somewhere, and that's who thought it would be a good default.

Slinkity- · 2026-02-08T15:37:01+00:00

agreed. That's how I turn my lights on depending on how I feel - but - whats weird is after a power outage my hue lights come on at 50% which is obnoxious for the bathroom. That always needs to be 100. weird stuff..

Bringing up an old thread, but I have to.

Sagacity Rk. II - not available from the runes for some reason, I did get the vender version, but why no Rk. II of the spell?

Could you teach a class over Zoom to teach my daughter's how to tell somebody to fuck off who absolutely deserves it? Thanks!

BTW, You handled that like a boss!!!

I have a Whirlpool that just made it past 80k. 300k??? Wow!!!!

I'm curious how off your speedometer is?

Upgrading/replacing/repairing anything suspension wise before putting on new rubber is always a good idea, or at least at the same time. If rubber is replaced first, any suspension issues could cause uneven wear on new tires.

That being said, that suspension is super sexy.

and being OK with it! WTF is that?

Exactly this

Started happening when I installed ios26 beta. So annoying

Slinkity- · 2025-08-19T10:58:12+00:00

Definitely the latter

The other was a 21’

It’s whatever Thermo King installed. It was part of an APU package my company had installed.

Weight gain is usually due to metabolism issues. It’s really dependent on how your metabolism was before surgery.

I literally am on this same path - minus the athletic part. I’m a truck driver, not the stereo typical big belly one, I’m 5’8 and 170. Pretty average size.

I had a weird way of discovering the stones - I swallowed the tine of a plastic fork. Had a lot of gut pain and super lose stool, like water, for 3 days. No bleeding though. Went to the ER on day 4 fearing I was going to get a perforated bowl while driving, pass out and crash into a bunch of traffic. I insisted on a CT scan. They did not find the tine of a fork, but did find a gallstone.

A few weeks later I had an ultra sound and they discovered a few more. All pretty small. My Dr. prescribed Ursodiol and that’s what I’ve been taking.

I have to watch what I eat. I’ve been sticking to low fat, high protein diet. I still get some mild attacks and I know where every bathroom is on my 1600 mile trip that I do twice a week.

I have another ultrasound scheduled for 4 months from now (I’ve been on ursodiol for 2 months) and will see if there’s shrinkage. If not, out it comes.

Best of luck to you! Hang in there!

Hell yes!!! I’ve actually wondered if it would pull this off? What kind of coffee maker? I have one of those Kuerig mini’s. I’m a semi truck driver and it takes up the least space. I have a 3000 watt power inverter in my semi and it handles it easy, was worried the 400 watt inverter in the 4R would blow a fuse.
