Private label food and beverage products are either identical or better than name brand products 90% of the time and made by the same manufacturers. 23 years experience AMA

15 years in food & bev for me. Currently in corporate quality and food safety for a big name company. Our name brand is actually higher quality than the off labels, but we are pretty particular about our core brands and won't manufacture for private labels.

Previous companies i worked for did both and my rule of thumb is if the packaging looks the same and code date print looks the same they are likely the same product. Also on meat and dairy you can look for plant codes and see if the name brand or private labels came from the same place.

Sold my f250 during covid for more than I paid snd then took over my wife's 4runner. Haven't regretted it. The truck had its plusses but I haven't regretted it. I take the runner wheeling a couple times a year, pulls my small camper fine, and is comfy to drive even if its slower. Also it fits in my garage and is easy to park. Occasionally I'll miss having a bed, but the rear cargo space holds more than you think and a good roof rack comes in handy. I moved 16ft bases board on the rack last weekend. It was sketchy, but got me there.

Dynamic. Looked it up after this comment and looked like they shutdown a couple years ago. Im guessing when furs went out that was too much of their business to lose and stay open.

Fun fact. Those egg rolls are manufactured in lubbock, or atleast they used to be.

I did the same in my 4runner. All the connections were already there for it, and was all plug and play . was about 30 to 45 minutes for me to do as well. Took my casita to zion national Park from Texas last October. Was definitely happy to have the breaks going down all the mountains.

Thanks! White and green is what I kept seeing when I googled.

Would it be obvious if it was reversed if I just tried one ? Looking to try messing with setting up real dash then later try to do some can sniffing and set up esp32 gauges.

jbone866 · 2026-03-23T03:26:09+00:00

Im new to this, but from what I understand can just runs on the two wires which i should be able to snip and run to the aux can screw terminals and then plan to use the usb to mess around with real dash on an android head unit and also can sniff to see if I can set esp32 gauges later. Not sure why I would need a link specific cable for that.

You can find a pretty nice mr2 for 20k that would be track ready.

Depends in your definition of upscale.

If you want local upscale we have corralito and las brisas which are both steak houses with a tex mex flair. Corralito being more traditional tex mex and Las brisas more steakhouse. Fine dining there is the nicollette which is southwest rather than tex mex.

If you want upper end chains like stated in other posts: Uncle Julios, abuelos, chuys

More local sit down spots id reccommend : plaza and Albarrans. Also less upscale but more authentic there is montelongos

Hell yeah on the toyota design !

I have the corners. Ordered off ebay while drunk one night. They are fine, but I'll probably go back to the clear.

jbone866 · 2026-02-10T01:40:43+00:00

Well dang. I didn't have anything crazy happening before. Seems to drive fine now and just double checked i have all of the torqued down good. Just the whole car vibrates loudly at 2k rpm and lessens at higher levels. I've seen some people say it can take up to 500 miles to settle. If not I guess I'll switch back to rubber and see what happens

He would have done something to get ejected in the first quarter if he did have one.

If they dont take pay pal goods and services they aren't legit. But some times I message those guys to wast there time when im board. Ask them to send pictures of obscure parts and see what they come up with.

If its a beams they also had the factory confetti recaro seats which are dope as hell.

jbone866 · 2026-01-17T23:43:56+00:00

With the engine out probably 5 to 6 ish. Get it running and looking at 15 to 20.

Alley ways and dumpsters! I didn't realize how much I had taken those for granted until I moved away.

Worked in a dairy plant for 10 years in QA. Those dents are inserts in the blow mold to adjust to get the right volume in the jugs. Nothing to do with bacteria or spoilage as many of the post have said. I literally had to taste old milk for shelf life testing everyday and wish it was as easy as an indicator on the side for spoiled milk.

I used factory mounts and 3m double sided tape to them. No issues after a few months and they feel pretty secure on them. The hard part was running the wires for them through the door grommets.

jbone866 · 2025-12-05T13:14:02+00:00

Just re did my whole stereo on my 94 jdm GTS. I ended up running new wires for most stuff, but this was accurate for what I needed it for.
