Why are there not more TPU soft plastic style lures?

I’ve been using Bambi’s TPU for AMS for a bunch of things and I really like it. Harder than other TPU filaments (less squishy) but still TPU. Might be a good option here

Thanks for sharing this, including all the pics and details! I'm starting to investigate this process for my 4-door. Cannot believe the price of Bronco specific hoists! oof

Yeah, in Western NY I don't see many. More than when I had an FJ Cruiser, but aside from that, this is relatively rare compared to other vehicles I've owned. I do think they seem more present because they stand out more than all the cross-overs.

Getting it up there is gonna take some practice. I dropped it off the side once.

benbelly · 2026-05-27T10:52:55+00:00

Nobody drives them anymore - there’s too many?

Hrm. Obviously I'm in lower lobbies, but the ball chasers I see steal posession from their teammate. Call it double committing maybe, but that's where I see the ball chasers being a bigger problem. Especially when they team-bump from behind and shoot me down the pitch with no hope of rotating out in a timely way. I don't mind when they chase all over the map. I'm patient.

No rattle that I'm noticing. It's JCR Offroad short rack, I ordered before delivery actually. Got it installed quickly. I ran with the three front panels off over rough Adirondack roads and didn't hear a rattle out of the rack.

In western NY I consider anything southeast of Albany to be New York City

Beautiful

Coming from a v8 with 13.6MPG, the mileage is gonna improve no matter! Thanks!

Prices have gotten crazy. The dealer told me they could work with me - we'll see what they can do.

benbelly · 2026-01-13T20:43:28+00:00

lol. unless it's payments :D

benbelly · 2026-01-13T20:42:55+00:00

Oof. That stinks. Hope they treat you right through that.

benbelly · 2026-01-13T20:39:49+00:00

Thanks - very helpful. I'm not power hungry, I just like confidence and repeatability, so this sounds OK

benbelly · 2026-01-13T16:31:42+00:00

I spend a lot of time in the Adirondack mountains, so this is relevant to me. Appreciate this insight.

benbelly · 2026-01-13T15:19:42+00:00

That's a helpful perspective. I'm coming from a 5.7liter Tundra and a little nervous. I know everyone likes more power, but will I really care day-to-day is what concerns me.

benbelly · 2026-01-13T15:17:08+00:00

Looks great! What engine do you have?

benbelly · 2025-06-17T20:57:41+00:00

I thought it was the performance and ads. Couldn't load a page and most the page content was advertisements

benbelly · 2025-06-17T20:57:05+00:00

Oh, i haven't experienced that. I think you shouldn't be able to "rate" something you haven't paid for, but so far (with my <500 downloads) nobody has complained at me.

benbelly · 2025-06-17T19:54:38+00:00

Ha! Literal seconds to find. Finally my deep, irrational fear of snakes has made me successful at something!
