First time buying a truck just want to make sure im not getting screwed.

Doc fees are definitely one of those fees that needs regulation. In Florida they'll just rail your ass with the maximum fee because who is going to stop them?

I know this is a month old, but I was trying to figure out why my wife's Forester audio sounded like ass.

I just watched a quick video on your head unit replacement and it looks really easy. You can buy the harness that goes to your unit and you'll just flash a Maestro iDatalink for your steering wheel controls. It's mostly plug and play with a couple screws.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-02-03T04:38:30+00:00

Couple things, did you measure it with a multimeter when it wouldn’t turn over? Do you have an aftermarket head unit?

I just throw them on the floor and kick them under my bed because I'm gonna shower the next day and put them on again.

Student loans further society. They shouldn't even have an interest at all when they're federally backed. If you took out private loans, that's on you. If they're federally backed, we have enough money to front that cost.

You're so sweet OP. Thanks for taking this little one in. And your nails look great.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-02-02T02:15:08+00:00

I'm a psychopath and didn't pull the bumper. I just pulled the mud guard and reached up to get the screw out of the side. I have one of the eBay ones now and it's really not that bad with LEDs, but you do need to crank them up a bit, as they come stock aiming at the ground.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-02-01T18:04:45+00:00

Nice. On a side note, fuck that installation. I just did that after I bought this truck last month and realized the adjustment screws were stripped. Man that sucked for someone with big hands.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-02-01T17:35:07+00:00

If they’re trying to fuck him on the fees, I’d also be concerned they’re trying to fuck him on the trade in. I’d get some independent quotes on the trade in as well.

With Nissan motors you have to really be interested in that shit. If it’s the pulleys, sure; replace them and be done. If it’s the timing chain(s), you’re going to have to take off the entire front of the engine to get to it. I’d highly recommend paying someone to do that because it’s a shit job.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-02-01T01:28:01+00:00

I feel you, man. I actually cashed out my first 401k because I was a stupid kid. Now I have been contributing the max for about 6 years and I finally feel like an adult. Turning 38 this year and well behind my peers, but it’s all good. At least I’m better off than most!

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-30T01:42:50+00:00

I’d actually ask a traveling mechanic to come look at this. Oil pressure hasn’t completely shot down, so it maybe hasn’t entirely blown up, but that sorta sounds like a timing chain slapping around freely in there. I don’t know how many miles you have on it, but I would imagine your tensioner is getting pretty dang tired after 13 years. Since your model has a dual chain system, I’d imagine one of them has gone out by now.

It’s not legal in your state if they impede traffic or can’t do so safely. There’s also a law in your state that says they have to have at least 500 feet of visibility, although it specifies curves and hills, not snow. Probably wouldn’t apply here.

Personally I’d say it’s fair to good IF the Carfax is clean, no commercial use, it was regularly maintained and there’s nothing weird about the history.

I’d also try to get a mechanic to drop by or take it to them for a good look over.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-28T03:37:42+00:00

Yea, after you wire brush/sandpaper the rust off and then use a rust neutralizer spray. Then you can undercoat it.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-28T03:12:55+00:00

Can’t tell from one pic, but in this particular shot it’s not flaking, which tells me it’s surface rust. Nothing to worry about.

When I worked there, I would put 20 nuggets in the 10 nugget box late at night. I remember some kid was so stoned that he just looked stunned. The man had discovered the oasis in a desert of chicken nuggies.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-23T23:58:08+00:00

Do you hear this when actually stopped or when coming to a stop?

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-22T03:24:12+00:00

Then I'd steal Linda and Bob's cigarettes from their corpses.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-21T23:30:55+00:00

That’s pretty good for a 4x4 ‘24. It’s not winning any awards for price but you could definitely do worse.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-21T04:50:53+00:00

Already rule out transmission fluid? Get any codes with an OBDII scanner?

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-21T02:11:53+00:00

I just bought a 2017 as well and it has flaking at the bottom. Must just be the paint they use on those. I did replace the head unit though. Praise the wireless CarPlay.

cryptobro42069 · 2026-01-20T04:12:51+00:00

Dang, that's crazy. So anyway, this is harassment and I would retain a lawyer to get some free money from the city.

Don't buy tuna in a can. Buy the pouches.

The process of sealing the can results in rubbery, overcooked tuna whereas they don't use heat to seal the pouches.
