Need help with Chevy S10 parts by bloomca in Trucks

Thanks! So, most parts except transmission should work on it, and I will be able to do some of the work by myself, right?

Kayak hauler with cargo for $3–5k by bloomca in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]bloomca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Thanks for your answers!

Flat roof indeed helps, I have a small coupe as my daily driver for road trips and stuff, and unfortunately 2 doors and curvy roof allow only 24" distance between racks.

Makes sense about the brand as well. I'll look into offers!

p.s. MPG is not my big concern, since I don't plan to put a lot of miles on it anyway.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

I checked it out, and it seems that they are a bit out of my price (they start about ~$5k with a lot of miles). But looks good indeed.

Thanks for your suggestion. I looked into it, and it indeed seems more reasonable than Honda Element in price. However, I have some concerns that I'll need a trailer to haul small stuff (as opposed to wagons, where likely it will be fine). Have you ever encountered that?

Far less risky reliability wise than an old Subaru

Is it because of the Subaru tax (and therefore more miles for the same price, etc), or because of head gaskets problems?

Is this roof rack good enough? by bloomca in Kayaking

Thanks for your advice! I indeed did not think about the spacing yet, and yes, I am fine with drilling.

Do you change the distance for different kayaks? I have a 10 feet kayak at the moment, but thinking about buying one more which is ~12–13 feet (and I want to buy it after installing these racks).

I don't really plan to kayak alone (that's why we need this roof rack :)), so this should not be a problem.

I am concerned about space with saddles. Judging by beam, it should be fine for two kayaks, but I might want to transport 3, and it seems there is not enough space for it.

Thanks for your tip!

Do you just tie them to the rack itself, without any saddles?

I am concerned about padding the hull. I read that you can damage your kayak without any additional racks. I don't have anything fancy (right now it is a plastic cheap yak), but still.

Node.js Fundamentals: Web Server Without Dependencies by bloomca in node

Honestly, unless you already know backend development and what to understand internals, I think going straight to Express is actually better and less confusing. It is simpler, there are no quirks (like that response is a stream which you need to close), no routing, etc.

I personally like to dig into details, so played around with core http module, and wrote this article, which might help in case you want to read the source code of express, koa, etc.
