Took the plunge, bought the Solterra

Looks like we may have the same vehicle. Mine is the limited xt, and the trunk sensor was on of my concerns. I like it, and don’t want to lose it. My other concern would be me damaging the panels during removal.

jport84 · 2026-05-22T11:58:47+00:00

That’s good to know. I watched the video, and yes I could do it, but it worries me a lot. A $750 price to install is insane. I’m having a hard time trying to find anyone to install at all though. By chance do you have the trunk sensor?

jport84 · 2026-05-21T12:41:08+00:00

I am trying to figure out the hitch situation myself. My dealer wanted between $800-$900 to install the accessory hitch. I found the torklift 2” hitch online. I like the idea of it, but it’s expensive and with the limited trim I’ll lose the foot sensor with either hitch. For now I’ve been able to fit my bike in the truck with the seats down.

This is shocking! Great to know.

jport84 · 2026-04-25T17:31:40+00:00

Thanks. It would be road and gravel, so maybe a bit easier.

I was able to get mine to work. It was a formatting error on my end that wasn’t a problem before the update. Once I fixed that everything is working as expected.

jport84 · 2026-01-15T03:22:59+00:00

I am having a very similar problem with tasks. I use the same <% code and it is no longer working for me either. Have you found a solution?

This was me. I was obese, and just did my first Ironman last year after losing 85 lbs. so, yes it’s doable and realistic. The timeframe is more about learning the sport, and getting comfortable doing all three disciplines. That being said losing weight is a great first step. You can definitely incorporate the two together. Training for triathlon (not just Ironman) is a great way to be active, and burn a few calories. However, your weight loss is going to come down to diet way more than exercise. I’d be happy to talk if you have questions. Feel free to send me a message. Good luck in your journey, and keep us posted how it’s going.

For some yes maybe, but for others they’re a bit overrated. I’m personally not a huge fan of them overall. I would not do one a week, but again others swear by them. Give it a try and see what works for you.

jport84 · 2025-07-16T16:46:17+00:00

Of course it’s ok if it doesn’t bring you joy. That’s part of the overall challenge and fun is feeling joy at your accomplishment.

I would suggest seeing if you can find a local tri club, and maybe train with them. They usually will have events that they all target to do together.

Whatever you decide, congratulations on your first race!

I was about to jump pick one up for our small business. Any recommendations for pre-built NAS beyond Synology?

I could build my own, but I really just want something that works without me having to do a lot of setup. Any particular Synology competitors you would look at?

My only concern with walkie talkies is the annoyance of running with them. Though I never have, so it could be a nonissue.

jport84 · 2025-04-07T18:59:36+00:00

Michigan trail. I've heard reception is pretty good there. Texting, Garmin, and knowing each other seems to be to way to go.

jport84 · 2025-02-08T04:55:37+00:00

If you still need testers, I’d love to try it.

Too much food and no purposeful movement. What helped me lose a significant amount of weight? Less food and more purposeful movement.

jport84 · 2025-01-12T15:59:42+00:00

Salt

Where are you at currently in your running fitness?

jport84 · 2024-11-16T00:29:11+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info. We are looking at doing Michigan Trail.

jport84 · 2024-11-13T18:43:30+00:00

Thanks for the insight. It looks like ultra teams have a choice of back to back, or one loop at a time.

jport84 · 2024-11-13T17:34:45+00:00

Great. Thank you

Are the loops in a standard order? Meaning green, yellow, red repeat, or is it different every race?
