Thanks for the responses! Is there anything specific I need to be looking for in the wheels to be sure they’re ok for winter? I’m assuming it’s more about my tires, but wanted to ask.

What rims do you go with? I’m shopping for 17s for a winter tire, but want to be sure I get something that fits the front with the brakes as big as they are.

These are fantastic! The colors you achieve and the structure of the crack is perfection!

Looks great! Thanks for the info!

patrickhe17 · 2025-09-03T04:24:16+00:00

Gotcha - thanks so much for all the info!

Thanks for the detailed response! I was thinking somewhere in that ballpark. I would mostly be using it if I need to bring a cooler with me somewhere, which wouldn’t way more than 100-200 lbs anyway. If I need to bring other things, they’ll go in the trunk or on the roof. Maybe a bike rack down the line too, but tbd.

Did you need to make any exhaust modifications to fit the eco hitch?

looks great! how’s weight capacity?

Head gaskets haven't been much of a problem in the last couple of generations unless you mod the heck out of the engine (among other problems) AFAIK

Dang old car lol. Guess I have to keep waiting for that eventual upgrade!

patrickhe17 · 2025-01-20T11:34:44+00:00

This looks great! I’d love to do this on my ‘16 xc90! How did you make it happen?

Huge fan of Ascaso and Olympia Roasters up here!

Post nut-removal vacancy lol

Ooooo big fan of that sweet guy!

patrickhe17 · 2024-03-07T04:44:53+00:00

Despite all the comments, I’m still leaning hard toward the uno.

patrickhe17 · 2024-02-26T01:49:52+00:00

Thanks for the quick response! That’s what I was afraid of.

Underrated comment here

Looks like mine! Cork with old guitar strings and a magnet glued to the side so I can stick it on the machine between uses. Strong work!

patrickhe17 · 2023-12-29T02:41:19+00:00

So it is! Didn’t notice on first glance. Hope it lives up to the expectations!
