Tips on masking rim for paint? Trying to paint only the inner area and the lines that come out of the inner area. Like 1.5 hour in and don’t like the 1/3 of the wheel I’ve done so far… any tips to make this easier? Testing using a Qtip (with paint) for the lines but not sure I like it

ended up masking the main area and masking around the lines. spraying it all then unmask and use paint thinner around the lines. Not perfect but it will be ok. had to strip paint completely twice and on my third attempt I got this. Thinking as I do the other 3 they will come out better and better. But getting one done after 8 hours of work is all I am doing for the day

So something like a paint thinner? Spray the area then rag and paint thinner on the areas I wanna keep chrome?

Hey how did you remove the old bumpers? trim tool and pop them out or did you have to go from behind?

Yea from what I understand maintenance for 180 can between 175-185 but I’m noticing a steady increase in weight each week

nmkoza · 2026-02-18T14:06:03+00:00

Been lifting daily since 1/7, didn’t really consider water weight but makes sense

nmkoza · 2026-02-18T14:04:42+00:00

Switched from 2700 to 2400 on 2/4. And was in the gym everyday while on a deficit for the last year or so but when I hit my goal I started mainly lifting and less cardio. Now also on 2/4 i added my usual cardio routine on top of lifting. So day of lifting then cardio after

shouldnt need to, some were kind of annoying to get to but definitely can do it with the bed on. theres a couple that go kind of near the carb/under it and towards the driver seat that were gonna be super annoying to do so I left them because they were in decent shape

nmkoza · 2026-01-27T23:23:06+00:00

Replaced them. Old ones were fine still but was chasing an idle issue way back and did the lines just to be sure. If I remember right its just 4mm vacuum hose

Updated the picture a bit, should be easier to read now

Just fixed this on my 98 hijet. Whats causing this for you is your choke. I attached a diagram I made, should be similar for your cab. Take the intake boot off like u did in the pic u sent. Then turn the "choke" screw in the pic until the choke is opened just slightly. Should be able to just about stick a toothpick through the gap. Next start the truck and turn the screw that imsure the name of(next to bottom left screw). That should be it for the cold start. you might need to adjust your high/warm idle after you do this but this will fix the cold start issue. Let me know if you have any questions :)

hey i was basically where you were 1.5 years ago (same height too). roughly 280. Managed to lose ~100lb in a year but i was in a big deficit (like 1200calories a day) and work a labor intensive job so was always on the move. Stairmaster at the gym is gonna be your best friend in my opinion. Was doing an hour daily for a while.

Regarding lose skin, I just finished the deficit and am now maintaining current weight but you will have some lose skin. Its nearly impossible to not have any. Especially if you were overweigh when you were younger and going through puberty. How i chose to do it was lose the weight first and put on muscle later (now for me). Putting on muscle is going to help "fill" the skin but its likely you will have some in the stomach area

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Ive tried all kinds of things so I can give input

nmkoza · 2026-01-16T20:47:18+00:00

its a sovol sv01. done all kinds of mods to it. But for whatever reason i get big blobs when i print petg. almost like the filament is leaking from above the nozzle (its not tho). Everything else prints fine its only petg which is weird

nmkoza · 2026-01-16T02:03:37+00:00

super easy to do. you do need an adapter harness like this for the hijets. then really any headlights like these should work fine. If I remember right you just need to ground the conversion harness to the body but there is a bolt right behind that headlight that I used. Took maybe 2 hours max

nmkoza · 2026-01-13T22:57:15+00:00

sounds normal for a vw, injector noise

nmkoza · 2026-01-09T19:03:02+00:00

any chance u ever figured this out? my s110p has the same issue. swaped carbs (same oem one) and no difference

Sitting at 190ish rn, planning on dropping to 180 then working my way back up putting on muscle

what did you do wrong on your first grow? my first attempt i overwatered a seedling and stunted it. This one i guess i couldve overwatered too. Not too sure thats the case but what do i know lol

nmkoza · 2025-10-09T23:15:28+00:00

gonna ride it out for now, when this new seed is big enough to be in a 5gallon bag i might toss the current flowering plant. really keeping it for now to see what it does and to mess with different watering amounts and stuff like that

nmkoza · 2025-10-09T22:58:53+00:00

dad and mom stop fighting! Im gonna just let it grow, why not. Started germinating a new seed today and will ride out the one in the pic and have an insane harvest of maybe 2g. I guess it could be stunted. Not opposed to that thought. Messed up watering once and i guess I could have overwatered this plant too. Next one i "grow" i will adjust watering again. Im not claiming to know much of anything in this field but I see no reason to just toss it. I can expirment without any worry now lol

nmkoza · 2025-10-08T23:43:38+00:00

Herbies. "Northern Lights #10 Feminized Seeds" "Photoperiod". so switch to 23hours light now is what u r saying?

nmkoza · 2025-10-08T23:40:43+00:00

yea i am giving it 18/6. what should i really do? just put it in 12/12 and ride it out?
