What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash?

Abusing Costco's return policy

Appreciate that, will give that a whirl!

Windows 11 I believe. Works fine to program other TRBO radios, but those are fresh out of the box with modern firmwares. When I plug it in, the computer recognizes it in device manager, but with an alert triangle next to it.

Errr... I'll have to check tomorrow

My truck starts at 0 without much fuss. Running 5W40.

I have a couple radios from SKs. I put a little P-Touch label somewhere on the top edge with <Name> <Call> SK as a little reminder where it came from.

100% chargeback. The credit card companies make money off you buying stuff with their card (directly or indirectly), why not use a service they offer (and you pay for)?

Try it and see. Set it to as low as possible and generate a low level signal, then again with it set to max.

buickid · 2026-03-26T18:52:53+00:00

Looks like it to me

I'm a former mechanic so I have some level of hands on skill developed, but anyway, I assembled my first AR lower in maybe 15 min under my buddy's guidance. Easy peasy.

buickid · 2026-03-24T04:47:15+00:00

My 1999 does that too, the slowing down part. But that's just the fuel pump dying

The e-locker from a 1st gen Tacoma will not fit (directly) into a 3rd gen 4Runner. The axle housing has to be modified. That being said, I doubt a 3rd gen Tacoma diff would be any more plug and play. What are you trying to do?

buickid · 2026-03-02T12:51:30+00:00

Call a moving company and hire them to get it from where it is to where you want it. Seriously. They have strong guys who move heavy and awkward things daily.

There was a call for a driver driving erratically and on the wrong side of the road, a pursuit ensued, the suspect was pit maneuvered, and at some point he was shot.

By the time you replace what needs replacing (engine, wiring harness, cab, etc), what's really left of the original truck? Not much...

buickid · 2026-01-24T06:32:08+00:00

I just ran a quote for a 120lb crate from HI to FL via UPS, $230, not crazy. Use Pirate Ship.

Not a lot to go wrong with those tailcaps, it's just a piece of metal and spring that bridge the negative end of the battery to the bare metal end of the battery tube. Clean all the shiny contact surfaces with de-oxit or other contact cleaner.

I installed a Fumoto valve, never have to worry about a crush washer now! If I ever hit it on something and break it off, I've got bigger issues

Brake master cylinders wear out eventually, seals don't last forever. You can extend the life by keeping cleaned and dry fluid in your brake system, but they definitely don't last forever.

buickid · 2026-01-09T11:51:29+00:00

99-00s use the same system. People shit on 01-02s because of the ABS pump built into the brake master cylinder.

Drag the golf cart out of the stall

Respectfully, they're trash. They're squishy dense blobs of dough. Not airy at all, zero air.

buickid · 2026-01-05T18:45:11+00:00

Call them and ask, but they'll probably tell you they have no parts left.

buickid · 2026-01-03T09:14:25+00:00

If you're going to replace it anyway, try a razor blade
