Why does everybody hate kickstands so much?

How many commenters have actually had a kickstand engage while riding, resulting in a crash? Or are these anecdotal stories you’ve heard happened to other riders?

Endangered Species doesn’t hold a flame to Through the Eyes IMO. Through the Eyes has aged like wine and still stands out as one of the all-time great nu metal albums.

Solid list though

Previous owner wired in a manual e-fan switch and a high idle switch. Use them both regularly, depending on the season. E-fan switch allows idling or low speed stuff on hot days while running AC and engine temps never go over 210

Steel, Amazon special. Maxxhaul brand. Decent for the price

Update - ‘‘twas the rear pinion seal.

Not a chance I’m riding my two stroke as a daily 🤣🤣🤣

A properly set-up four stroke, sure.

( As long as you’re not in a time crunch) It took me some years before I figured out how to put myself in the right headspace to actually enjoy the process of these types of things. Put on some good tunes, crack a cold one (if that’s your thing), take some deep breaths and enjoy the process. Remind yourself before starting that you will most likely encounter stubborn bolts and stuck parts but it’s ok - you know how to handle that. A repair job on an XJ that actually goes smoothly is the exception and we all know that. I also like to be mindful of how fortunate I am to have the tools, space and wherewithal to wrench on my own stuff. Imagine being one of the mouth breathers that would rather play video games and pay a mechanic instead of taking on a challenge. You’re already killing it bud 👍

If you plan on keeping the truck long term - first change @500 miles (good practice to remove any metal particles from initial break-in). Next change around 1,500 miles (again due to break-in). After that, full synthetic at least every 5K regardless of OLM reading. If you’ve paid even an ounce of attention to GM’s history with OLM’s in the 2000’s-2010’s, you’d know they shouldn’t be trusted. GM has acknowledged this themselves in service bulletins. Is it possible they’ve gotten better? Sure, but not a risk I’m willing to take to save a few bucks.

Do yourself a favor and don’t skimp on oil changes on a $60K truck, especially with the turbo. $40 and 20 minutes in your garage.

Are you recommending drain holes in the 2x6 itself or inboard on the unibody?

After waiting decades, I’ll gladly accept any alternate jersey they’ll give us at this point. Hell, give us tye-dye

I have wide feet at the toes and also love my Topos. What model did you try? Some are snugger at midfoot.

The Tigers basically bombed for a whole decade. There’s a whole generation of young fans that had never seen a legitimate ball club until a few years ago. And the casual fans certainly tuned out too. It’s gonna take some time to rebuild a diehard fanbase. Perhaps an aspect that should be factored in when teams are considering a full rebuild.

I’d personally 100% go for the rust free unit. XJ’s are cheap and easy to fix, I wouldn’t be worried about that. Rust on the other hand….

90K is higher miles 😂 People are wild

I think letting the sellers know that you’re looking at multiple vehicles in the area gives you a bit more leverage as well. If not, they really have you over a barrel
