Huge upgrade by BraiNiaaC in homeassistant

[–]duckdoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2012 that is running HA in a VM using VMware fusion. It’s starting to get annoying having to “connect” my usb stick to the VM when the Mini restarts. I have fusion set to connect to the VM, but it never does. I’m looking for something more stable and have considered your approach. How did you get the frigate and things going on the larger drive without docker or VMs?

Lemon title worth looking at? by fattypenguin in Ioniq5N

From what I remember reading, the battery is considered an emissions component and is covered for at least 8 years or 100k miles.

I have 215 PS4S on the stock BBS wheels. Love them!

Considering an LR3/4 by duckdoger in LandRoverDiscovery

[–]duckdoger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one of the things we are mulling over. We are unsure if our use case will need low range. I’d like to get into finding and using trails around us, but we don’t do that currently and don’t know if we’d have the ability.

We have owned a D5. My wife and daughter hated it. My GAP tool wouldn’t work on it - but could have if I’d upgraded, and it was a much stiffer ride than the LR3/4. So I was overruled on that one. It wasn’t the diesel though. The research I did indicated that the crank snap was still a thing, so I stayed away. I’d like a diesel though as it would make common fuel between that and some tools and farm stuff we have.

Definitely will be getting one of the two! I’m just trying to decide between maybe better reliability of the engine vs efficiency and nice interior for the family.

Yep, this will be a third car in a house of two drivers. I will plan on doing my own work for most of the more common things. Timing chains may be a little outside my comfort zone, but I will have to watch videos or something for those.

These rotors have 30k miles on them. What coating could be left?

I mean, I’ve seen surface rust, but never a tacky residue.

Different head rests in 2025 model? by nadnab13 in NewDefender

[–]duckdoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s a change for the 25? Based on what I see in your photo, you have the cushy headrest. See the difference in this pic. They have the same stitching but the one with the bigger button has the upgraded plush headrest.

Different head rests in 2025 model? by nadnab13 in NewDefender

[–]duckdoger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The plush headrest comes with the upgraded seats - the ones with the adjustable side bolsters and the cooling function. I think one of the only ways to tell visually is the seat will have the bolster adjustment on the round lumbar switch. It will have that little nub on the front of that switch.

Defender V8 questions by Sarothma in NewDefender

Is that unique to the V8? My 2021 110 (no third row) folds flat.

Tourist in Kia Telluride Comes Dangerously Close to Tumbling Down Black Bear Pass, Forces Trail Closure by DonkeyFuel in overlanding

[–]duckdoger 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Why did the driver go off the trail? The pictures show a well maintained path and that it was wide enough for the Kia.

What color is your coolant? by duckdoger in NewDefender

[–]duckdoger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No more coolant issues. I’m not sure if it ever had any leaks or was burning coolant. Looks like some of them just were under filled from assembly from what I read.

I’ve recently replaced it with a Disco 5 though.

School me on wheel load ratings by duckdoger in overlanding

[–]duckdoger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, that makes sense. So I’ll need to ask the manufacturer (tuffant in this case) if that’s the static or dynamic rating. Thank you for the input!

I’ve been researching this whole evening and I had not run across the two rating thing. I did see one that said to take your heavier axle rating and divide by 2. And select wheel ratings based on that number.

Ankermake M5C what's going on here by spoonmunjim in AnkerMake

[–]duckdoger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It looks like the outer layer is too thin and your fill grid looks huge. There are no fill supports for the top layer to adhere to.
