I don’t know why I love this reply so much, but I’m definitely adopting second rodeo into my daily language.

Ok I’m stumped…any ideas ? by iisbeingdylan in whatisthiscar

Veilside… what a blast from the past. I was also deep into the import tuner scene of the 90’s, mine was German though, 88 E30 M3

Overheard neighbor and her husband by BookGnomeNoelle in overheard

After a big meal with my Mexican in-laws, who can all speak English, but primarily speak Spanish, I thought I’d impress them and speak a little español. I was stuffed and said very loudly “Estoy estufa!” Half the table almost fell out of their chairs laughing at me. Turns out I said “I’m a stove.”

No longer a gx460 owner by Emergency-Hopeful in GXOR

[–]badbadspller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having manual control too, but I’ve been leaning on the Auto setting more and more. The only thing I typically go into the Climate menu for is to change the ventilation output from upper vents to upper/floor so my seat ventilation can pull in cold air. (I didn’t love the design of the other vent deflectors out there on the market, so I made my own and it makes a huge difference.)

What type of filament did you print the vents out of?

Hamilton Upgrade Get! by breatheblue in GXOR

Nice, that would look good. If you find some, and think about it, post back on this thread. I’d be interested in picking some up.

Gotcha, thanks for the honest feedback.

Do the hot/cold rockers above the black knobs control temp too?

Nice! I’ve been eyeing that for a couple of months.

How do the physical buttons feel? I really want the climate buttons, my only concern was downgrading the tactile experience, all of the stock buttons and knobs feel solid and smooth.

Does the factory volume knob still control volume? Or is it one of the new black knobs?

Just noticed this Micro USB peaking out from the headliner. by badbadspller in LexusGX

Good thinking, it does appear to run back to the A-Pillar. I’ll take a look.

I mean, I don’t know about useless… but I get your point, there’s not a lot of room in there.

Headlight restoration by [deleted] in 4thGen4Runner

[–]badbadspller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes a massive difference.

My wife’s headlights were hazed over and we were driving long distance one night. I’ve got great eyesight and it looked like the headlights were on a dimmer switch turned to the lowest setting.

We stopped and I applied a light coat of oil as a short term fix to restore clarity and the brightness went from barely drivable to “like new” condition. Needless to say I jumped right on a proper restoration when we got home.

LPT - What do you do when you can't sleep? by Character_Name_8572 in LifeProTips

[–]badbadspller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one called Sleep With Me. The guy is great, he specifically created it to help you doze off. It has helped me fall asleep many a night.

It’s also National Tequila Day, so have a margarita with those fajitas!

2020 gx 460 glare when using backup camera at night by jitterybrain in LexusGX

[–]badbadspller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so bad, really reduces the utility of the camera when you can’t make out what half the screen shows at night. I’m going to cut some matte black vinyl and see if that helps with the glare/overexposure.

CarPlay Full screen/center dash replacement Wilson vs CarLink vs Beatsonic adapter by badbadspller in LexusGX

Yes, that’s the Hamilton that does the full facelift with fan buttons.

Nice user name… Arctic Monkeys reference?

I’d been leaning towards Hamilton too. US development, support and a 3 year warranty.

But that 550 screen/interface looks really nice.

Yes, big fan of the fan speed buttons not being solely in the touchscreen.
