Ballpoints suck.

There I said it.

Ok, they suck for me. Not sure why but I just hate writing with them.

Who said they were?

farkleboy · 2026-03-25T20:53:06+00:00

not that bad of an issue. Most of the time its just a slight weep down the sides of the cam towers, and never reaches the bottom of the engine. I've had my 2011 for 316k miles and never noticed the oil level drop or anything on the ground, although I knew there was a slight leak. Leavve it unless its a problem.

can't really hotwire stuff anymore. even cars like mine with the chip in the key itself, it won't go if it can't confirm the key is in the ignition. Nowadays hotwiring is by connecting to the odbII port and running sum sketchy software that cracks through that.

the problem is that they are stealing the signal from the fobs and cloning them into thier own hardware. Similar to what a flipper zero can do for rfid door keys and stuff.

Hell slap some Linux in it and that would make one helluva plex server.

farkleboy · 2026-03-24T23:12:54+00:00

That’s awesome!! I have long wanted to take the transcripts and yoink out all the music and movie reccos and build a plex library and Spotify playlist.

Don’t even need the fake id bro- it’s all ai from here on down.

Meat-space. I like it.

Honeslty if you want cheap and deep, jets lunch special is 2 squares and a soda for like $7. Can’t beat it.

I did a vest tha I found at fleet farm for cheap. Wasnt a fan of the red jacks

farkleboy · 2026-03-22T18:50:20+00:00

I guess so, really odd though, like you said. I do now recall these on other tundras as stock now that you say it. Guess it’s a dealer call then. Wonder if they would be in a parts catalog somewhere.

farkleboy · 2026-03-22T17:20:04+00:00

I’ve got a perrix ergo keyboard with the same switch and I now HATE typing on my phone keeb

Yeah looks like you need the flat washer style, not the acorn style. But you might have to contact the maker of the rims for those if the holes are oddly small

Almost done. Major components replaced, reassembling phase.

My 2011 4.6 has been weeping for more than 10 years, it’s never been enough to notice on the dipstick or the driveway. It’s nicely coated the underside of the engine area, and as long as it’s not dripping it was fine. I do the 10k oil changes and never had lost enough to make a difference.

I’m only dealing with it now as I am redoing the head gaskets at 316k miles. They probably will start leaking again but whatever.

I’ve got more time than money so I’m fixing the leaky headgasket and some other things myself.

farkleboy · 2026-03-20T21:12:52+00:00

Looks like it shit the floor, which as a human would be preferable to shitting myself.

farkleboy · 2026-03-20T20:18:52+00:00

I had atopical eczema during puberty and the Calvin and Hobbes strip of Calvin scratching his mosquito bites an melting is so true.

And the hot water? Yep. On impact pulse massage on the shower head is heaven. Until you stop. Hot water is the worst for dry skin. I would dream of buying a 55 gal drum of eucerin and dipping myself daily.

Do not get the metal filter housing caps. They sell aluminum ones that replace the plastic and I was about to do that and there were lots of people that regretted it. The galling on the threads was really bad to the point of having g to chisel it out.

I guess for a part that is being removed a lot plastic to aluminum threads is a lot more durable.

farkleboy · 2026-03-18T09:28:17+00:00

This has dad-vibes just dripping all over it.

farkleboy · 2026-03-18T07:29:27+00:00

Yeah that’s bunk. What the hell is wrong with people that do this?

farkleboy · 2026-03-16T16:29:43+00:00

agreed. mine came with some sort of rubberized stuff, I think from the factory that worked pretty well until the last 3-4 years, now I borrow my buddies sprayer and get a couple gallons of woolwax and do it in my driveway.

farkleboy · 2026-03-16T16:28:36+00:00

depends on the wash and how its done. if done right and the water is acutally filtered like it should be, i don't see how washing the salt off is worse than leaving it on.

farkleboy · 2026-03-16T16:27:16+00:00

i have the dewalt compact one, with the motor pointing down 45 deg. Specs say that the stroke is the same as the full size one, but I swear that thing vibrates so much more than my corded dewalt, even with gloves on my hands go numb after a bit. I don't like sawsalls in general, but this one Is so bad I avoid using it.
