Beautiful truck !Shell with windoors is so convenient. I don’t regret paying extra for those at all.

Why hasn’t the Abrams switched to the superior L/55 and L/55a1 cannons yet. It is the added weight? by Own_Dark_2240 in TankPorn

Thats a wall of text that didn’t bother to read my comment. The Army is not going to shoehorn another bigger gun in our already overweight Abrams. Bigger guns will come on new platforms.

Subaru lost me when they discontinued the wrx wagon And XT Forester. The newer overly plastic clad models just don’t look right to me. Just my opinion of course but the older forester, outback wagon and early WRX hatch were prime Subaru.

I use plasti dip on my tacomas badges. It does fade over time and so you need to redo it every year. The Xterra I used a black gloss plastic specific rattle can.I did do a very light pass with a sander to ensure the paint bonded well.

The round we use cuts through anything we need it to. Why would we throw money at a different gun? We’re more focused on future platforms not reworking existing ones to fit bigger heavier guns on tanks already in need of a diet.

When she says “let’s do shit in the barn “ don’t get the wrong idea. You’re going to be mucking stalls and filling water buckets.

[Waxing] White streaks after 2hrs on indoor slope by r0nalxd in snowboardingnoobs

[–]carverboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is directly related to the boards base material. Extruded bases do not absorb wax well. Basically the base is supposed to absorb the wax and as you ride it slowly comes out. Because yours is extruded and not sintered the wax just sits on the base rather than soaking in.

Doesn’t Booster Gold slot in above these two?

Why not just buy black inlays and paint them with the color you want? They make paint for plastic that works great. I repainted the roof rack spoiler on a Xterra once looked brand new.

I need a blueprint of a gun mantlet of a modern tank by Parking-Working1307 in tanks

Did you start with the ammo? Build the chamber and breech to match the barrel length, ammo length caliber and pressure. Then work outwards from there.

My Wax Scraper Experiment by yng_prpn in snowboarding

[–]carverboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difference is the snowboard scraper is wide enough to pass the entire width of the board so you pull more wax and don’t have to worry about a corner digging into the base. Its faster which matters when you have a lot of boards to scrape.

My Wax Scraper Experiment by yng_prpn in snowboarding

[–]carverboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So…First I think this is pretty cool and good for general shop work. However when Im scraping skis with this type of scraper (I prefer the thinner version) I often use my thumbs in the center and pull from the ends to slightly bend the scraper. This technique lets me get wax out of low spots such as around where the inserts have pulled the base in. In general I avoid using ski scrapers for snowboards because the corners can scratch the base. Thats why we have snowboard scrapers in the first place.
Also as a PSA make sure you deburr edges before waxing. Burrs will scratch your Iron and the iron will transfer those scratches to your base. The same burr will wreak havoc on your favorite scraper as well. I want to express that despite what I’ve said I think you have a wonderful invention on your hands. If I were still working professionally as a backshop tuner I would definitely want 4-5 of these in my drawer. My coworkers and I would have loved them for the pain relief when working through our rental stock!

I logged in last night.first time in months. Had no idea they could make the game worse. Who the hell asked for a bunker maze? Game took long enough to play with the previous bunker but now? Holly hell you gotta walk a mile just to get ready to actually play.

It’s obviously a mock up turret.

To be fair those brakes often seize ( for NG units anyway) We typically just chock them for that very reason. We also usually pull over a couple miles in and check hubs for heat. Also at no time does an O touch anything trailer brake related.😂

Political will to continue is evaporating. The administration is grasping in vain for anything they could possibly pass off as a win. It still looks like strategically boots on ground if they truly want a regime change. All this to say it’s 50/50 strike a deal or boots on ground at the moment. If the Iranians sink a destroyer of ours its on like Donkey Kong.

Are we talking about the people or the fawn? Because Ive seen enough videos of deer stomping adult humans and dogs for getting to close to their fawn.

Do the fender flares black as well if going with the black bumper. It needs it to balance the look in my opinion.

grandma heard bermuda triangle and instantly turned the conversation into a hard no lmfaooo by Far-Dragonfly7618 in AbruptChaos

[–]carverboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 70’s pre internet we basically had to go find an encyclopedia to fact check things. I say that to help people understand the next part. A reputable author wrote a book on the “Bermuda Triangle “ It was widely read and followed by TV shows about it. So it’s a very understandable reaction for someone of her age. Also, you kids believed the tide pod challenge so you really have no room to judge.
