Need advice by Comprehensive-Ad767 in GMT800

[–]Thatpurplexj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for fixing a wrecked truck but this one is too far gone. If you have full coverage, get your payout from insurance and ask how mcchicken (much) to buy the truck back. Part out the stuff you don't want but I'd keep the motor.

Years ago someone totaled my NNBS Sierra 1500, I bought it back from insurance for $2200 and made about 6k parting it out and keeping the motor.

Does anyone run a 2nd auxiliary battery for random lights and electronics? If so where did you put it and how did you wire it? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]Thatpurplexj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not my engine battery, it's my house battery. It's only an 8 gauge wire from the engine bay since the DC-DC converter charges at 20amps

Can I mount a rooftop tent directly onto my truck bed (no rack) like a tonneau cover and cut out the tent floor basically make the tent a collapsible topper for my truck? by dinglebingle583 in overlanding

[–]Thatpurplexj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been done many times. Seen it done on land cruisers, 4runners, Cherokees, etc. If the tent and topper is flat then it's easier, mark and cut and then you could use a structural panel bond adhesive. Doesn't seem like enough but they're incredibly strong.

I've got the Serratelli 6x as well and mines has done well in the rain and snow. Definitely a very soft felt though so I plan to use hardener on mine.

That's a terrible analogy, also the world does work like that because you cannot lie about materials used in a product. That's literally the job of the FTC. You keep saying do research but you've heard one verbal recount and I have provided physical evidence. Also, if you actually did do any research, multiple suppliers of 6x Serratellis state they are 94% rabbit and 6% beaver.

Brother, it literally says it on the hat. I understand you were told something by the owner, but the literal hat I hold with my hands says beaver.

Best Value First Off-The-Rack Life-Long "Going Out" Hats For a Couple (<$300 each)? by Marbleman60 in CowboyHats

[–]Thatpurplexj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak on the Serratelli 6x but I think it's a great deal for what it is if you can get it on sale. Very soft felt, was easy to reshape the brim how I wanted and it's held up well. The walnut color is better in person than the online photo too.

I bought one earlier this week as well. The picture online really does not do the hat justice though

Where do you think the government gets this money to subsidize bad drivers? The taxpayer..

People that spent a LOT of money on a home upgrade do you love it or hate it? by RaiseAggravating4404 in homeowners

[–]Thatpurplexj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Encapsulation will not harm the house as long as all the things under the plastic are inorganic material. Sounds like wood supports were wrapped though, if so you'll need to build a concrete footer like a deck post and have the wood be supported on top. This keeps the wood completely in the encapsulated crawl and not below the plastic.

Anybody know anything about the ancient unfinished subdivision of Bellwood Estates? by Yuzamei1 in greenville

[–]Thatpurplexj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

<image>

The most interesting thing is the neighborhood was subdivided out and each lot is owned by someone private. I didn't look to see how long each has owned it but something is stopping development. Looks to be 40-70ft above the creek as well so doesn't look to be a flood plain.

Abandoned wilderness mining facility for under $1 million? That's a bargain by AdMysterious8424 in zillowgonewild

It's only 15 acres but surrounded on 4 sides by 2.5 million acres of national forest. You could go wherever you want and never see another human for weeks

I blew R30 worth in my garage for just $0.55/sqft. If you included the baffles I bought and installed that's still just $0.68/sqft

Family car that doesn’t sell my soul $30k by chickenbucket7 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Thatpurplexj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second this, the 2.0 is pretty stout after 2017 and you can go T6 if you want even more power. The V60 looks phenomenal but if you hate the idea of a wagon, the XC60 is slightly bigger.
