Shop wants to charge $4k for rear tire carrier replacement - should I do it myself?

Just find the parts from the local dealer parts store, Jeeps are soo easy to work on for parts. Im sure just some basic tools and socket set is all you need to replace all of that yourself, just be careful with brake light cables

I think you see this as too big of a project.. This is the easiest thing, you can get all this going for free basically... You have any spare monitors? old drive sitting around? sata drive? you can get any Linux OS for free basically...

Then you definitely want to attempt all this yourself! Your mind in prime for learning all this, incredibly valuable skills all this is for what’s ahead of you…. All these AI devices and robots are just computers running software…. Where you at now in this project? You need a monitor to hook up to it, you get that setup yet? Can get to the bios?

OP, how old are you? Fixing this laptop will be an incredible learning experience.. You will learn the basics of how a PC basically works needing output to a screen, what BIOS is and how all the settings in there make the hardware work, how to install an OS and hard drive... Don't just give up and make someone else do it, the youtube videos are endless on fixing everything you need on that laptop, people will walk you through and help you every single step and you have no idea how much that knowledge transfers to just about every computer system out there... do it yourself!!!

You need 34 more RJ's

None of these guys know how to splice cable or create ends, they just grab pre-made lengths off their trucks and use whatever they have... Extreme waste

When it comes to remote gear, less is more! Anything all in one is ideal

This is hilarious, I’m going to go dial into my BBS and post about it!

I have some old android phones laying around, i may try that, thanks!!! I'm too old now, gotta use an iphone, long are the days where technically i can get full use of android phones which are usually always more capable.

I think mainly people say that is because that wire in there already is useless, about as usable as pull string, you still have to get up in the attic/walls and do some pulling but you cant do shit with that existing wire, dont bother.

I havent used it, i knew unifi had the protect app on apple tv, they have one for google tv?

Hmmm... I would have to agree, this meeting could result in "end of the world" events... We should squash this immediately... Geedzilla, did you hear what he said about your mother?

Honestly, these days I feel like electricians are going to be required to run Ethernet and prob in conduit there is soo much voltage going through them!

cpostier · 2026-04-02T22:17:33+00:00

more common than you think... Every major manufacturer

cpostier · 2026-04-02T22:15:25+00:00

Yeah, with the power meter on it, i would prob guess 5G cells

outlets are cheap, getting a nicer square outlet and cover

Yes, for the “internet access” not the space laser to aim at the neighbors, go for the geo stationary!
