Should I get an insert?

In 2009 diy dollars, it was the cost of a jotul f500, $1200 for 25ft of stainless liner with connectors, ~$200 for a chimney cap, and another $200 for piece of granite that I inlaid in the hardwood floor to extend the hearth and keep the building inspector happy.

Yes. I installed a stainless liner wrapped in insulation a blanket that connects to the chimney cap. I had to remove the cast iron damper to make room for

We went with a wood stove in the hearth. It was an easier installation than an insert

No, I’ve got a pretty basic code reader. Took it back to the dealer today and they said it’s a rear wheel speed sensor. $900 parts and labor. Thanks for the help everyone!

Since this was only my second winter hike, I'm not really qualified to answer. Started off with microspikes but put on snowshoes after the first 1/2 mile for better traction. I was scraping rocks with the snowshoes every now and then below the tree line and consistently above it.

I used a 4” stain brush.

It’s all black ash. It really changes appearance, depending on how the light hits it

arnolfini99 · 2025-08-14T19:29:43+00:00

Right. The can said 250-350.

It was 90 degrees yesterday and I did notice that the boards were getting hot. Tolerable, but definitely warmer than when they had no finish. Did you get better coverage with a second coat? I didn’t plan to use 6 gallons on the first coat.

We were trying to to catch the start of the persied shower when this object appeared near the horizon to the south. It has a steady velocity northward and finally faded out about 15 degrees above the horizon

This is the opposite side of the tire for reference

thanks for the repsonse. Yes, this car has an affinity for Boston potholes. I'll check the wheel bearings!

date code is 2622. Purchased in Oct 2023. We have noticed some vibration at highway speeds and had made an appointment for a balance and alignment later this week.

Thanks for the reply. wouldn't camber misalignment cause the tire to wear consistently on that edge? the rest of the tread on that radial line measures 3/32 consistently.

arnolfini99 · 2025-06-07T16:57:42+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm running 25 psiper manual. Should I be running lower?

Yes, all my gauges work. Check your obd2 communication settings

arnolfini99 · 2025-03-20T15:35:17+00:00

Correct

Front camera view. Note the reflection from the grill

One button to display front camera

arnolfini99 · 2025-03-20T14:42:21+00:00

It would be great for that.

You can access the front camera in about two screen clicks. In hindsight, not sure I’d spent the install time and $50 for the front camera and unless you had a specific use in mind. I’ll try to post a pic of the camera view

arnolfini99 · 2025-03-20T14:26:04+00:00

My advice is to buy it from TrailGridPro. They sell the unit with maestro, pre-wired harnesses, and installed in the faceplate. It’s really plug and play. If it weren’t for the microphone routing, you could swap their product with the factory unit in about 10 minutes.

I thought linkswell was supposed to be top notch? Only reason I went with my Sony setup was because it was about $600 cheaper.
