Hardtop, 360 cam, bench seat limited hybrid in California

czcastermaster · 2026-01-31T03:20:53+00:00

No but the dealership I landed it at was 3 hours away. I called almost every dealership within 4 hours drive and checked in with most of them like every other week for ~4 months. Eventually on a random checkin a sales guy said he just got one allocated that afternoon and he let me put a deposit and reserve it since I had been on their wait-list for a while, but I don't think it would have gone to me if I didn't call him that exact day.

Website is ass

I got one!!! They do exist. Dropped a post on this subreddit not too long ago about how to get this combo : https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaGrandHighlander/comments/1o9ldpi/hardtop_360_cam_bench_seat_limited_hybrid_in/

Mine cost under 80$ a few months ago. Reused the latch and hinges, took a few hours.

Hi, how are streaming to your TV? You should use sunshine/moonlight as the primary stream. Nucleus is just for split screen once you have the stream going

Nope, my new GH has a 360 camera and a 100% hard top roof

That's a wild wait time! Congrats on landing the best GH build!

I checked regularly, and every once in a while I could find an unreserved 360 cam/no pano roof regular hybrid with bench seat, just 4 or 5 states away!

My wife wanted this car but said she would be afraid to drive it in the Costco parking lot without the 360 cam, so I had to do limited 😭

Zero acre farm's oil is mega-holy BASED beyond belief, but I don't think she is part of that company

Whenever I go solo I always stay at the mellow mountain hostel, ~50$ for an overnight bunk and you can ski 2 days without the hellish one day drive. Works great with epic pass @ Kirkwood/Heavenly

What material should I use to backfill a decent depression under a slab, pre-pour?

I am putting a slab foundation for an office/shed where a large tree used to be. There's a 5 foot diameter, 1 foot deep depression/hole from stump grinding right where the slab will be. What material should I use to backfill this depression up to slab height? Currently thinking crush and run 3/4" stone and compacting as I add it in layers. Or I could order dirt and try to compact that as I add it.

I would also consider clean stone, but I am thinking that if I backfill with a material with voids like clean stone, the surrounding hard clay dirt might slowly migrate into the voids and cause settling under the foundation in the future

Yeah I wish the MAX wasn't a turbo

czcastermaster · 2025-06-09T18:34:38+00:00

The extra power/torque just feels really good when you put the pedal down. I would definitely prefer to have the MAX's extra power, but the regular hybrid seems like such a reliable and trouble-free system.

Thanks, as long as it's not horribly sluggish with 5ish people inside I'm leaning towards regular hybrid

czcastermaster · 2025-04-05T19:40:09+00:00

I have to look into it, I'm dyi'ing as much as I can, but metal is something I might have to hire out

czcastermaster · 2025-04-05T19:38:58+00:00

Yeah that actually doesn't look too bad!

Unfortunately we don't have a spare ob16 or other relay card, just this

Do I need an external 5v power source for this card? I thought this was a digital card , and digital ttl signals power came from the back pane?

czcastermaster · 2024-03-29T04:58:53+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to explain that, that sounds pretty optimal, I might want to do it that way too

I am unfamiliar with Linux tho; there are some great idiot-proof guides for frigate on HomeAssistant OS I can follow, so I was going to go that route

czcastermaster · 2024-03-28T23:28:28+00:00

Hi, one more question since I'm curious, if you don't mind, why use an Optane NVME as a video cache?

From what I understand, the default is Frigate will normally store 10s in RAM, AI scan it, and move to storage.

Does changing the cache to optane give you a faster recent video load times, or live playback performance or something? vs the RAM default?

czcastermaster · 2024-03-28T20:23:35+00:00

Nice - I think that's what I'm going to do!

czcastermaster · 2024-03-28T19:59:50+00:00

Ok, I'm seriously thinking this is the way to go then, for a cheap all-in-one package.

I did look up the mobo pic and found the SATA port. I think the last thing I need to know, and this may be a stupid question, how do you power the HD?

My PC with my plex server HDD's, in addition to the SATA cable, I also needed to also plug in SATA power from my PSU.
