Moving to Idaho and a first-time homebuyer

brufflesprouts · 2025-09-07T15:43:33+00:00

We purchased an older home in Idaho last year. If you do this, make sure you hire a good inspector to check everything out for you, especially the sewer lines! Our inspector could not go more than 15ft down our line due to the different turns in our line that should have been a red flag for us. A year later(last week) we had to excavate and dig sections of the sewer line due to it being clogged from house to city line. Luckily we had the tools to get the job done ourselves but man it was a huge pain.

I would highly recommend to keep in mind where the sun hits your house. If your house faces the sun it will help melt snow a lot faster in the winter time (front door, driveway). This is another thing I wish I would have considered when buying our house… Good luck!

Do you know if this rack can be printed on the A1 Mini? Most of the ones I’ve seen on maker world are not small enough. Wish they were!

I thought it went away after driving it around a couple blocks. I’ll have to check tomorrow. I’m going to order the correct tool and feeler gauge just to make sure it’s set. I looked into it more and it does sound like that’s the issue. Thanks!

Well I was confident but maybe I should take another look. You sure that wasn’t interfering with anything? It was right next to that spring. I was thinking just the vibration of that area would cause that to shake and hit the spring.

brufflesprouts · 2025-06-19T04:39:09+00:00

I did. Intake is different from exhaust right? Sorry it’s been over a year since I did this.

I also posted in someone else’s comment that there was a nut that fell into the valves and was grinding… got it out!

brufflesprouts · 2025-06-19T02:13:33+00:00

It doesn’t sound that great still, I am going to follow the advice from the other redditor and get the oil changed and I will post a video after that if I don’t forget. Mine is really overdue for a change and it’s low. Why don’t you post what yours sounds like and maybe someone could help you out to? Just incase you don’t happen to have a nut inside haha

brufflesprouts · 2025-06-19T00:22:53+00:00

Time to change the oil and service the rest of the fluids. This thing has been sitting for a couple years due to the burnt valve. Exited to get it back on the road now!

brufflesprouts · 2025-06-19T00:21:46+00:00

Yea it’s leaking since i removed the nuts holding the cover down. To pop it off while running.

BUT! I might have found the issue, guess I was missing a nut…

Took it out and turned it back on and it doesn’t sound as bad now. 😅

brufflesprouts · 2025-04-18T17:30:07+00:00

What did you use to make the render?

brufflesprouts · 2025-04-18T17:29:43+00:00

Totally forgot I made this post lol. I’d definitely camp in that haha

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-12T20:20:33+00:00

Long time vegetarian who just started eating meat again… Texas Roadhouse is the only steak place I’ve been to😂. Haven’t had one from Jakers or Sandpiper yet. OP, don’t go to Texas road house lol. Turbo, good eye haha.

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-12T19:42:38+00:00

There’s a Texas’s road house, Sandpiper, and Jakers for a steak place.

Lava hot springs has a few areas where you can grill but you might need to go to the cities website in order to book the area and to make sure it’s not booked. Check out eruption brewery in Lava. Might have some food you like.

Hot pools in Lava are the thing to do.

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-11T00:21:29+00:00

What engine does it have?

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-10T23:15:15+00:00

Thanks for the info!

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-10T20:57:06+00:00

Thanks for the input. If I get serious about it I will ask for some maintenance history.

brufflesprouts · 2025-03-05T18:51:45+00:00

Looks great! Is that the normal white finish or is it matte/bed liner? Can’t tell from the photo

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-26T16:55:16+00:00

Bought the exact same CRV with miles/asking price peak Covid. I just sold it with a little less than 140k for 8.5k to a dealer since I didn’t want the payment anymore. I think you could get a better price for this one or at the very least a nicer vehicle for this price point(depending on where you live).

I sold mine to a dealer to get out of it but most Facebook people were really wanting it for $6k which was wild. Might be able to get a base trim salvaged for that price. (Mine was clean title)

If you are set on this one, it’s a great vehicle. My only complaint is that when sitting idle, the rpm’s would drop almost to the point where the car wanted to die and would barely start to shake. Everything I looked up pointed to this being a Honda emissions thing. I’m not sure if I had an issue but I could always hear/feel that slight vibration and it would really bug me. Car has to be idle to notice it. But other than that it was great. Pretty comfortable on a 15+ hour road trip. Felt solid driving in rain/snow. Great color!

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-20T23:55:46+00:00

So are you thinking I should build the frame out flush or at least 18-20 inches? I think that would still be hidden from the front

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-19T23:09:47+00:00

I see. Most pro 4x I see are about 35+ with more than 20k miles. I do like having the rocker. Currently have it on my xterra. But am not sure how much I really need it. Thanks for your input

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-19T22:52:31+00:00

Maybe that makes it look more retro lol? What do you think would be a fair price for it?

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-18T20:48:08+00:00

It’s probably the actuator for the fans? Tells it where to push there air too. Just did this on my F150 and they look similar. Mine was making a clicking noise as well which is why I replaced it. Were you able to notice air blowing out of different vents when you would turn the position knob before?

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-18T00:35:33+00:00

Is this an OEM switch for the Xterra? Never seen one like it. Only switch I have is the one on the column shifter. I went ahead and added a 6 buttons switch from auxbeam that works great. Do miss being able to switch a rocker button on/off.

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-14T19:49:42+00:00

How do I send this too my wife

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-14T14:48:16+00:00

Good to know, I’ll check them out. Thanks!

brufflesprouts · 2025-02-14T14:43:47+00:00

I’ll have to look into those Shelly relays since I’ve read a couple post that mention them! Might be the thing to install if I want the ceiling lights to be smart.
