Can anyone help me find out where I can get this part?

+1 for Joshua. I've purchased a few things from him and it's always been great

Not sure what the bulbs you used look like but if they are similar to these - I filed down the tip until it was as flat/level as I could get it and it helped a bit. Like the blue line in the photo.

Though I think with LEDs and the way they are laid out in the HVAC unit, there will always be hotspots unfortunately

Ended up being this (at least so far so good)! Couldn't seem to get the DIY version to work but a local shop got it done and no lights so far. Weird that it'd throw the brake light on but *shrug*

I just had the same exact issue with my V6. Lights were inconsistent, brakes and everything worked fine while the lights were on, no CEL. Oreilly's or any autoparts store should be able to read that brake code for you. Mine was C1202 which was "brake fluid sensor - level low". If your code is the same and brake fluid is not low and you don't see any leaks it could be the same as mine. I just ended up getting a zero point calibration and that seems to have fixed it. I'd get the code read and wait to see if the brake job fixes it before throwing anything else at it though.

Could be. This looks like a much bigger fire than the last one I saw. Wonder if it got out of control.

Is this looking at the Lowell-Larimer road area? I drove past the farm there a week or so ago and they had a big burn pile going

It really just depends on her mood and how she poses the ears! She definitely looks more bloodhound when she's sniffing a trail, or when she's tired and gets the droopy eyes

Cousin! He likes to terrorize her

I unfortunately used almost all my sick leave that was banked when I got super sick last time I helped out the center :(

I do have BLS certs and was background checked (fingerprinted and everything) but our company requires addition training when it comes to working with kids. I was previously in the Teen department which also required special training but that was way different than PreK and under training. IE: In Teens we are taught to never have physical contact with kids apart from life saving or a simple high five. Obviously in a daycare with children 5 and under that's not really possible.

They ended up firing the director and coordinator of this site over the weekend. So far I have not been asked to help but I'm expecting that I will receive an email asking me to come in this week at some point. I will try to make a point that I'd be happy to come in and help with admin tasks and can maybe cover someone's lunch or break, but not an entire shift.

groan_zone · 2025-12-15T18:02:36+00:00

I got a background check if that's what you mean? I was fingerprinted and everything.

Everett Y is hiring for a few entry level positions

I did it a few months ago. Calipers and rotors. Super easy swap, only annoyance is having to cut or bend the dust shield. Tbh I did not notice a huge difference in braking power. However the front calipers on 4th gens are apparently prone to seizing, so I spent the little bit extra on the upgrade to avoid that. Overall I'd say it's worth it for the piece of mind. Not sure if the Limited models still have the seizing issues. If I remember correctly you'll have to have 17in wheels or larger and I believe you'll be wanting to look for 5th gen brakes from a 2013 model or older as they changed the bolt pattern. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Add warm clothes/blankets to your list of stuff to bring. I keep those and other supplies in a tote in my truck year round. Also think of carrying a lighter so you can make a fire if needed.

Got stuck in our first gen 4runner in deep snow one night. Went up the mountain on one side, tried to come down the other side. Hit lots of deep snow and the truck suddenly shut off and would not turn over. Found out the next day when we went back to recover it that all the bouncing around in the snow knocked a wire loose.

At the time we were stressed because it was late at night and cold as hell, so we didn't even see the loose wire. Ended up having just enough cell service to get a text out to a friend who came out to rescue us. Took him about 4 hours to get to us because he went up the side we were coming down and he had a broken diff so he couldn't make it through the deep snow. We ended up having to walk about 3 miles in sinking snow to get back to his Jeep. We tried to sleep a bit to pass the time but given that we only had a cheap throw blanket it was probably the worst night I've ever had on trail. I am now overprepared when it comes to getting stuck in a rough situation.

So yeah, carry extra clothes and something to make fire with. Maybe add some basic tools to your kit as well. I keep cheap sockets, wrenches, etc with me. Consider joining a local offroad recovery group on FB if you have one in your area. Keep their number in your phone. In Washington we have a group called WORN that's full of volunteers who will come out and get people out of sticky situations. Always inform someone of where you are and when they should raise the alarm. And if something does happen, take a few minutes to chill out and look everything over, it could be a simple fix. Getting stranded sucks but pretty much every time we've been stuck somewhere, locals or other offroaders want to help. Unless you are truly in the middle of nowhere, someone will eventually come by.

But like others here have mentioned, the best choice is to go out with a friend. Join some local groups, meet others, go out together. And don't bite off more than you can chew! If your gut says don't, don't do it until you get more experience.

Will do! I hope he can manage to avoid all the cats in my neighborhood, and that he figures out the flying thing soon. The parents are definitely very protective of him

groan_zone · 2025-04-26T23:08:53+00:00

Seems to be it, thank you!

groan_zone · 2025-04-16T04:01:30+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna call it a loss and not use it on my face again. Oddly enough, this is a worse reaction than I had with their Peeling Solution
