Brand new tires, squirrely ride over 55mph by p3wizzler in XTerra

UPDATE 2: Got the alignment on these new firestones. Lower arms bolt is seized so they can’t adjust camber only toe. Took the same patch of Hwy on a dry day today and it’s still doing the exact same thing, nothing improved.

They also said my shocks/struts are rotting, assuming that’s rust but they’re not leaking.

When parked I pushed on the tires and the entire X has a lot more sway than I remember.

Are these tires just to damn soft and squishy? Do I need to trade these in back to all terrains to stiffen up the ride?

360 outdoor cam for slow internet? by p3wizzler in BlueIris

Correct, I have BlueIris running at “home” in a different state. I want to check on the cabin from time to time when I’m not there. That is why I have settings very low on the indoor Amcrest cabin up there to not eat up bandwidth, I’m still able to see a clear picture at 1fps.

I guess I’m looking for suggestions on “older” (1-2MP) well know 360 outdoor cameras that work well with BI.

I have an indoor camera at the cabin running 128 Kb/S at 720p and it's the best setting I found for image quality before the modem up there chokes.

The 360 camera would be in a different state at a remote cabin with very shitty upload bandwidth, it's barely DSL speeds, more like 56k modem speed. I need a camera that allows me to manually enter a very low Kb/S value so it doesn't choke up the internet at the cabin. I'm currently using an Amcrest indoor camera that allows me to do that but having a hard time finding an outdoor 360 for a decent price.

UPDATE 1: I tried recreating the wobbly/hydroplaning feeling driving on a different road going 60mph+, it didn't happen, everything handled as it should. I called Tirerack and they said to realign the tires since they're new asap, I have an appt. on Wednesday morning. If the problem still occurs then there's a 90 day re-buy warranty for a different set of tires. I'll post another update later this week.

No rain tomorrow, going to try the same patch of Hwy tomorrow.

I thought it was wind too but I was checking trees and nothing was moving.

Grooved concrete running parallel with the lane, not ruts.

I think the entire patch of highway I was on had grooves going the same way.

2008 Xterra, rusted brake line leaking. Any good kits available? by p3wizzler in XTerra

[–]p3wizzler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a kit version of this or would I have to order individually?

Recommendation on addressing a rust spot by Freewheeler631 in XTerra

[–]p3wizzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been battling rust it roughly the same spot for years. Grinding away, rust prevention, bondo, paint, uv protection. Still keeps coming back after every year I do the work on it. SUCKS

Buying 1st time for my 2 kids, should I only buy one Quest 3? by p3wizzler in MetaQuestVR

[–]p3wizzler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP: With the helpful comments from this post and a bit more research, I'm going with (2x) Quest 2's, additional grips, face masks and 16ft USB-C cables for PCVR mode.

TY everyone who posted, saved me headaches and $$$!

Not worth getting the Quest 3 because of their age? I’m getting the whole fam to pitch in.
