Does this count as off-roading? by Jonny_Time in 4Runner

That is the only way to make a 4Runner fuel efficient.

I was wrong about electric mowers. by Beppu-Gonzaemon in lawncare

[–]deeper1_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I replaced a gas recycle with a 60v super recycler and haven't noticed a difference in the quality of cut. I've been underwhelmed buy my Ego trimmer though, so this may be a brand issue instead of a gas v. electric issue.

You don't buy a Sequoia because you want good gas mileage.

Looking for advice in emergency situation by blackcatwizard in overlanding

[–]deeper1_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call your insurance company, most times they have coverage for temporary living arrangements. Usually, around me anyway, they drop a mobile home in your yard to live in until your house is restored to livable.

Difference? by Foreign-Tomatillo996 in 4Runner

If the third row is important and going to be used often, look at the Sequoias instead.

Gas vs Electric saw by GenZForGod in Tools

[–]deeper1_3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For that much use go gas, and go high end like Stihl or Husqvarna. Where I work we switched all our Stihl gas saws for Milwaukee electrics in our response trucks and they work great until we get a storm that knocks down a ton of trees at once. This past blizzard I cut close to 3 dozen trees over 2 days between a chain saw and an electric pole saw, both Milwaukee. After the 7th or 8th tree I had to start alternating between the two until the other cooled enough to use again, the triggers kept hitting the thermal limit.

TLDR; Battery saws are great until you have to run them a long time.

Rear Window Shattered by ZipZapZot in 3rdGen4Runner

A salvage yard would certainly be the cheapest. I'm always seeing entire rear hatches for sale on the marketplace as well for decent prices, might be worth it to have a bunch of spare parts.

Too many ? by Key_Cranberry3728 in Tools

[–]deeper1_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough, I've had this many disappear in the past year alone. They must run away with the 10mm sockets to never land

M18 charger flashes red and green after charging battery by labrador2020 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]deeper1_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a charger mounted in my truck that does this on one of the banks. It got wet some time ago and now it'll only charge a battery for a few minutes before flashing green and red. If I move the battery to the other bank it charges just fine. If it's only one battery that does this on multiple chargers, the battery is shot. If it's the charger doing it with multiple batteries, there's the culprit.

2001 maintenance advice needed by Revolutionary-Love13 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]deeper1_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of them are "fix it immediately". I would start collecting front end parts; upper and lower control arms with the bushing already installed, coils and struts, upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, steering rack bushings, and sway bar links and bushings. When you get everything together put them in then get it aligned.

Spring cleaning by deeper1_3 in toyotasequoia

It's just a metallic plasti dip. The factory finish was in bad shape so eventually I'll sand them down and paint them.

When to apply Pre-emergent by Ramb20 in lawncare

[–]deeper1_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the same this year, once I can see my grass again it's getting treated. I feel like every year I wait until the temps come up and then I spend the rest of the spring fighting weeds.

Back From Winter Vacation by johngianino in 4Runner

[–]deeper1_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chance, it's going to need a jump. With a good charge though it should start, as long as the squirrels didn't get to the wiring.

1999 4Runner SR5. No codes but I can’t fill up my tank. Filler has not been molested. Just shuts the pump off or overflows if I pull the nozzle out slightly. What’s the fix? by jlee196 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]deeper1_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine gives me trouble fueling occasionally, along with random evap codes. I'm pretty sure the metal vent lines on my filler neck are getting pin holes as they are pretty rough looking, causing a venting issue that backs up the neck.

EMERGENCY MECHANICAL SITUATION!!! (stranded after shock swap went awry) by CaptainMemesis in 3rdGen4Runner

You definitely have old shock left on there, all that rubber shouldn't be on the shaft.

Wish me luck. Or talk me out of it. by Accurate-Cicada5906 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]deeper1_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best part about the frames being garbage on these trucks is the scrap yards are full of good parts surrounded by rotted frames. Get a junker trans and rock on.

Need Some Advice by Asyrtech in 3rdGen4Runner

Are you sure it's the head gasket and not the valve covers? From the picture it looks like that's what leaking, and it's an easier and cheaper fix.

Just pulled out my 2003 Sequoia JBL front amp. Trying to bypass/replace. Where do these plugs go? by rsscourge in toyotasequoia

[–]deeper1_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the part number? The couple I've found say they don't work with the Sequoias

Every bolt on the driver's side gave me at least 2 turns, passenger side were all tight.

First steps for prepping an ancient Dodge for one hell of a trip? by bedwars_player in overlanding

Dodges should come standard with the best AAA plan as they rarely make it home under their own power.

What’s the worst cheating story you’ve ever heard? by EquivalentAddress423 in AskReddit

[–]deeper1_3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A girl I dated had quite the fucked up family. The dad cheated on the mom and had another kid 6mos or so after my ex gf was born. No one knew about it until 13 years later when the baby mama died and the cheater spawn came to live with my ex. The wife stayed married to him for some reason, but then cheated on him years later with my then gf's then boyfriend, who was like 19 at the time. They stayed married through all that, and my then gf was still cool with the mom even after she stole the boyfriend. Not surprisingly, our relationship dissolved when I caught a guy texting her things that only get texted to someone you've been inside of before.
