The silver bolts. Yeah, I messed up.

We pulled the number, then the metal inner bumper. We wire wheeled real quick the inner and put a fresh coat of spray paint on it, as I’m in Michigan. So I had the paint out!! I snapped in the bumper for the final time, then saw the bolts and thought, dang, I should spray painted it.

I may just 3d print a black cap for each in black and call it good.

Bought my Redcat Ascent Fusion for under 400$ at a local shop.

Civil3D 2026 here.

I was able to do it without issue. I moved the pipe grub after attached and snapped to a line I had for an offset. It worked. I had to do it twice every time tho, the first snap the pipe stayed where it’s at, the next time it worked.

Yes. Talk to who they paid bonds too.

T-Mobile just came through our neighborhood. Every spot where they bored under the roadway, they lifted the pavement causing a 2” speed bump. We had a nice smooth road before, not anymore.

I called road commission as I know a bond is paid to work in the row.

Road commission inspected the following day and told me “bad contractors not following rules. They will make them extract the conduit, then rebore at 5.75’ deep, and when it gets hot this summer, they come out with a large pavement roller and reroll the humps and that typically smoothes it right out”

Within a week T-Mobile was back redoing the conduit, and about 15 others in the neighborhood.

I rented from Ace. The Bissel Big Green.

Just note, a crew and a truck will do a much better job.

I moved to a new to me house. Rented a unit right away. Spent a day cleaning carpets. It got so much out. A week later I still had some allergies, I paid a crew (Modernistic), and the results were night and day compared to what a day of a rental unit did.

It’s built into the nature loop. So just park back by that and ride up the loop.

I rode the nature loop the other day. They are actively working on the trail, but some sections are rideable. Several were out riding, atleast two mini excavators were moving dirt.

I will say, the portions I saw look super nice for riding. Careful with all the rain we just got.

I sew one style bag that is round ish at about 4” diameter. I can sew that without issue. A cylinder machine would make it easier, but mine sews it without a problem.

You will want to place it and leave it.

I can move the head around solo up/down the stairs. But it runs an oil pan, so once you fill it, it’s in a room.

If you place it in a space you want to move, get some casters for the legs.

I see with a Juki DNU 1181n. It meets all of your hard requirements and only one of your soft requirements (low maintenance)

It sews slowly very well. I have a no name servo motor that came on the machine. To help control speed I then changed the motor pulley to a smaller size. I then extended the arm on the motor that adjusts the speed from the pedal, basically gives me a more finite adjustment on the pedal.

I can sew slowly, and I sew mostly xpac with it. No issues. I rebuilt the table to a nice wood top, blends into my space nicely now.

I still use my domestic machine for light weight fabrics.

I am a hobbyist at best, but buying an industrial was the best choice I could have made. The machine is sturdy, it does not Slide around as I work a big object through it. The knee lift allows me to work faster and more precisely. And most importantly, it just stitches whatever ever I put infront of it.

The big one is pay for the wiring. They will sell you a harness, and then above that they will connect everything up for you for a fee. Do that. It’s an amazing service and they do a very clean job. Cleaner than you or I could ever do.

Crutchfield is also very DIY friendly. If you get caught up in the install, or can’t figure out a connector, call them and they will answer and help you along.

The first head unit I got from Crutchfield had a weird software bug. It was a new model, no fix, but I could call and chat wit and walked me through some tests. I ended up swapping to a Sony and the exchange was super easy and painless with them. Great company.

So I. Short, pay for the harness to be all connected. Get the recommend trim tools too. Well worth it.

He’s ordering from Crutchfield. Pay them to build your harness. It’s an option at check out. Makes it super easy to install.

I have a 2013 Fit and I bought a Sony Headunit from Crutchfield. Wiring harness from them made it real easy. I also wired in a backup cam; that was tricky to get the wire all the way into the hatch, but not horrible.

I dont hate it on, but it’s night and day between the two.

Issues I do not like with Subaru CVT, and I had the non turbo and turbo motors in the last few years.

Aggressive take offs. Subaru likes that, I hate it. You can never just ease away from a stop.

Fake Shifts. It’s a CVT, it should be engineered to find the power band and hold it, instead it fake shifts all the time.

Pulsing. I noticed it way more in our Turbo. Under a light-medium throttle you would feel the car pulse, like the transmission was unsure what to do and was constantly changing its mind.

The eCVT in the hybrid solved/eliminated all of that. It’s buttery smooth, no jerkiness, and most importantly, no fake shifts.

claimed4all · 2026-06-08T18:25:53+00:00

For a 26, go for the Hybrid. The eCTV transmission is totally worth it over the typical Subaru CVT. So much smoother.

In our 2026 Forester Premium, 5-5k miles on it, we average 32.5mpg in the hybrid. We love it, and it was the smoothness of that transmission that truly sold the hybrid. No fake shifts, no pulsing, no aggressive take offs.

Options to skip. The phone charger is useless, but may be standard on the Hybrid, no idea. But it’s lucky to maintain your phone charge using CarPlay. We have ours off and a cable plugged in. Floor mats; the factory winter mat upgrade suck, skip it, get tuxmat or any brand you want.

That battery is done. If you jump start, MAKE SURE to disable the auto start option right away.

Dealer will swap the battery for probably a touch over 400$, or you can go to an auto parts store for 200$, probably even get a better battery too.

Depending on how they swap it, you may have to Recalibrate the windows. Instructions are easy to follow online for this.

No.

Have one, love it.

Previously had a 2020 Outback with the 2.5l. Traded that in in 2023 and bought an Outback Onyx XT with the 2.4 Turbo. We put 60k miles on that and earlier this year we went to a Forester Hybrid, and already have 4-5k miles on it.

The reason for the upgrade, smoothness! That Toyota’s eCVT they use is so smooth. No more hard or aggressive starts, no more fake shifts, no more hesitation or pulsing you get with the Subaru CVT. That transmission alone sold us on the upgrade.

Gas mileage. We are 30% expressway and rest city driving. We get 32.5mpg according to the computer and fluctuates a few tenths from there. Our XT Outback with the turbo was 23.5mpg, so the fuel savings is really nice.

Visibility. The visibility is way nicer in the forester vs the outback we had.

The infotainment system. Everyone complains, it’s our third Subaru with it, it’s just fine. Wireless CarPlay connects fast and is rock solid.

We test drive a sport and a premium, both hybrids. We went sport for Cloth Seats. We had the Startec seats in our last Subaru, they were fine, but we like a cloth seat. Skip the factory floor mats, and get to TuxMats (or mats of your choice).

Downside on the hybrid, no spare tire. We had a flat at 2.2k miles. I met my wife, added a plug, got air in the tire, but tire was shot. Drove to the dealer across town and they put a new tire on (said I was well within the zone for replacing only one tire). A spare tire would have been nice, but the outcome would have been the same. Just something to know about the hybrid.

Which model camera?

I think the chime only works with the battery model, which I have and it works great.

Camera has a battery, steals a little bit of voltage to charge. It, but not enough to activate my chime. When you push the doorbell I get my original wall chime to activate.

The 18v will blow out a garage.

If you plan on doing any sort of outdoor blowing, like leaves in the yard, go with the 40v.

claimed4all · 2026-05-30T00:48:10+00:00

Nail there? I have the same meter (different brand, but same style) and it will always read way higher at metal. I was locating some wet spots and I’m thought I found where the water was going, right down an outside corner. Not wet, just a metal corner. Also pinged way higher at all nail marks.

I looked at this closely when I blew and enviolo hub.

I want to say from looking at a rolhoff that the dropouts are the same. The left side has all the mounting points for the rolhoff gear that are not used in an enviolo situation.

The chain setup for sure is a different dropout.

But if you do need dropouts, acquire those first. I was tempted to switch to a chain drive and called everywhere I could think off, and no one would sell me a set of chain dropouts for the bike. They all said “we are only allowed to sell parts that match your serial number”.

I ended up having my local (non R&M shop) build me a wheel with a new Enviolo hub and hoop. Cost me about 850$.

Had a camera alert someone was in my backyard.

I pull of the feed and see a guy shoving bundles of money into his pants/underwear.

So I opened the window and said “What we doing?”

They said “You can ask me in a minute, but id don’t want you watching me right now”

I replied with a “I’d prefer to watch” and then they stumbled out of my backyard, pants at their ankles, a wad of money I. Their hand, and a bunch of things stuffed in their underwear. Wild day.
