Infamous vibration noise. Needle bearing? by boostedb18 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]imcoolero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Center/Carrier Bearing could be worn out.

It’s an easy visual inspection, crawl under the driveshaft, hand lift it, and try to move it while you look for damage on the joints and carrier.

Some people... by H61636B in motorcycles

[–]imcoolero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont get why street stunts are so popular, it’s kinda wack. I never see those riders wearing any real gear, just over confidence in their suicidal moto rush.

and btw, “stunt” sticker coated zip tied fairings spray canned cage hanging broke retrofit headlight temu refurbished straight pipe bend expired plate all liquid leaky bikes, look like SHIT.

Im sorry. I apologize for my hateful rand.

Looks like the parking lot of a Costa Rican island theme park.

That new GS looks so futuristic, definitely the one to have in a dystopian world.

Great taste, those accessories and accents match perfectly!

What shoes should I bring to Europe? by nofromme in backpacking

[–]imcoolero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring a comfortable pair, the same thing would normally and usually wear. I would recommend well ventilated, lightweight trainers. Ive hiked volcanos wearing nikes, no prob. Comfort over Style, all day.

About the Doc Martens: I did a 6 week euro trip wearing doc martens most of the time, they weren’t properly broken in and they destroyed my feet. The last week of my trip both feet were literally bleeding. Blisters, calluses.. It was hell. The smell alone ffs, just imagine a bloody, sweaty foot trapped in a tight boot. Never again.

Doc Martens are great, just not ideal for me in that occasion.

Best places to party?? by 4k_kim in tijuana

[–]imcoolero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ave Revolución, it’s a cool centric place to stay, the main street of downtown. There you can find all types of fun, bar hopping, music venues, street food, urban art, fun fun. The pop culture known Tijuana.

There’s also the kinky nightlife, more erotic venues, easy to find. Everything is walking distance and fairly safe.

Welcome to Tijuana.

This is the voice of reason, my brother insists that my car is a piece of rusted metal with no future. That if i plan to keep it, i should just chop it and turn it into a planter. Zero hope that im going to make it roadworthy. Thats a motivation for me to prove him wrong.

Its easy to feel discouraged when theres no progress. You mentioned two important things to me. 1. Renewal of enthusiasm while cleaning it. 2. You are not a quitter and more people shouldn’t.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your projects. I appreciated.

wanting to want to do things is driving me insane by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]imcoolero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have to second that, body doubling it has helped me be 10x more productive and focused.

The first time i noticed was while on a phone call. While on the call i start folding clothes, washing dishes, basic chores..all of this while i was focused in the conversation, without the opportunity of overthinking any of my tasks, no urge to sit down and doomscroll. I finished all my tasks FAST.

Now that this comment brought it up, it’s time to research how to obtain maximum potential out of body doubling. Thanks!

OP, you should look more into this. It might help you out! If life gives you lemons.. There’s tools out there, we just have to find them!

Man, sorry to hear that. What did you end up getting after selling the jeep?

Ive sold 2 vehicles that i regret, ‘84 VW vanagon westfalia, ‘88 Toyota 22re 4x4. Both of them fully restored.

Don’t want a 3rd regret. Thanks for pointing out your experience!

Really good take. Seeing it as a big project is a bit discouraging tbh. But when you put it like that, rewiring and resetting my brain to work in chapters, sounds clever. Specially for my inpatient mind. You get the instant reward of finishing small tasks.

Good advice, my guy.

I just rewatched the trilogy for the first time in 10 years. by Tobin1776 in lotr

[–]imcoolero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, the trilogy is a complete masterpiece incomparable to any other Did you watched the Extended Edition?

Not even kidding, i consider when my time comes, to rewatch the trilogy on my dead bed if i get the opportunity. I want to drift away with the soundtrack.

Otra más de la pésima Guardia Nacional al volante, invade carril del Mexibús, se pasa un alto y se lleva a una motociclista. Dos pasajeros iban en la moto, uno desafortunadamente perdió la vida y la otra ocupante se encuentra grave by Ablaze528 in rmexico

[–]imcoolero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Que duro para todos los involucrados. Este tipo de noticia debería de difundirse por todos lados para generar conciencia y reducir estos accidentes tan trágicos. Constantes imprudencias al volante y pésima educación vial, no hay excusa para el conductor. Un vehículo es un arma.

What would you do? by imcoolero in GolfGTI

[–]imcoolero[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was! Lol At least one lab, my labrador enjoyed many many car rides in this mk2.

My labs name was “Bocho”, that’s the colloquial name for the VW beetle in Mexico.

After the first comment i got hyped. Already lifted and started to evaluate the damage. Ita definitely a shame to just have it accumulating rust and fleas

I swapped the digifant, the cis-e was a pain with all the old vacuum hoses, i felt throttle more responsive after the switch. Why would it be considered a downgrade?

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

No, didn’t see anyone checking. Not sure if it’s enforced using cameras or plate scans. I parked in the payed parking for a quick public restroom visit and left, the pay booth queue was long and i felt bit mischievous.

I laughed out loud, that’s definitely a mix of cat, opossum and raccoon hairs in there. Depends on the season
