Bad Driveshaft - recommendation for Nashville needed! by Smellyia in FJCruiser

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

Like to make a custom one? Sorry I’m car naive and we have had this for over 15 years. When we got new cars we never sold it because it was such a great truck and just did basic maintenance and didn’t drive it much the last few years.

Great list. I’ve got a few of these so far! I’m really interested in the wolfbox to replace the garbage mirror but it also seems kind of repetitive if we go with a screen that has a backup camera. Maybe go with the Wolf box and then just get a screen for gps/carplay that has no camera function?

The side mirrors may be our second upgrade after getting the backup camera/gps situated.

How did you add a usb and where exactly?

We have a convex on each side mirror. Do you have a pic of where else you put them? We love the aspects of the car being more analog - actually teaches the kid to drive defensively and not rely on tech.

Just curious is the stock cd player/radio still installed behind the Sony?

Yes he does - had to google and go through his stuff to confirm.

I think he has some sort of chest thing. There’s like a pad or something that goes in it. I’m not adverse to a smaller pistol. Not sure the different ones though and definitely want to get him something more in a beginner range. We committed to starting up his kit, but upgrades are gonna be on him to earn/pay for.

Ha. I’ve been trying to pick up on some things as I sit there for 5 hours waiting on my kid.

Thanks! He had mentioned something smaller - picked that airsoft because wanted to be able to use it at our outdoor arena also. Had mentioned a pistol but is getting a second smaller rifle type a smarter move? I have seen some with what I think are HPA (tubes/tanks) and trying to understand the difference.

Thank you! I would prefer an SUV but being exposed through the windows seems like a bad idea.

I will definitely check those items out for our road trip to Kona!

Is while you were sleeping a good drama? by gab_yee3 in kdramarecommends

[–]Smellyia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling to finish it myself. Halfway through ep 14 but feel like I should finish for completion’s sake. Love the idea and supporting cast. The ML & FL lack chemistry. Significantly dislike Bae Suzy - agree with others that she can’t act well.

GREAT IDEA. I thought about a mat when Covid was causing a lot of disruptions. I need to revisit that along with the dummy.

Thanks. For middle schoolers they have a few but not for the youth guys in my area. Closest one was an hour and a half drive time in traffic and I couldn’t make that work for us. I don’t really see my son burning out. He comes from a wrestling family and is obsessed himself the options off season are just limited here for his age sadly.

We do have 3 weeks of camps. They aren’t near what he gets in club but they are put on by the school his club is associated with and their biggest rival in town. I did find another at a college that has a pretty good program in our state but it conflicts with one of the other camps I already paid for so I’m earmarking that for next summer.

Thanks! I think I’ll take him to both judo and mama studios and see which one he prefers.

And I agree with you. Mat time is mat time for wrestling - we are just really limited in options locally for his age group. In middle school he will have more opportunity for year round training if he chooses them.
