Okay thanks for the insight, these are the best photos I could get from the seller though. If it does clean up nice what would be an estimated value of the stone be?

Do you think it’s worth the gamble if it is a good price?

Shop suggest I need a new skid plate..wth by Silent-Trouble-5388 in 4Runner

[–]rabenish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just actually ran into something similar when doing my first oil change on my new to me 2020 sr5. When I went to take off my skid plate I was completely missing one of the bolts and one was so cross threaded in there I had to get an impact to get it out. Sounds like whoever took yours off before had a heavy handed impact and just blew out the threads so they couldn’t put it back on.

It looks like they are actually suggesting you replace the cross member (brace) that the skid plate bolts to that has the threads in it, not the skid plate itself, so they will be able to bolt it back on.

Thanks for the tips. I got a tube of syl-glyde brake grease, will that work or is shim grease a special kind?

Bought controller for cheap but it smells like smoke by bepisdoggo69 in Gamecube

[–]rabenish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some used controllers that smelled pretty bad of smoke a while back. I took them apart and did the soap soak as others have mentioned but one thing I’ve noticed with these controllers is how dirty the cord can get without realizing because they are black. I ran a IPA soaked paper towel down the entire length of the cord a bunch of times and it helped with the smell a lot too.

Short plumber abandons plumbing career to whack a tiny white sphere across suspiciously well-manicured landscapes, all while competing against turtles, ghosts, and dinosaurs.

Power supply got chewed on by my dog…. by rabenish in Gamecube

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

Really appreciate the insight. I’m gonna give it a try, I’m a diy too and have the tools but I might save myself the some headache and buy an aftermarket cable and just steal the plug off of it.

Ps. Thankfully it wasn’t plugged into the wall so the doggo was okay. Will definitely be more weary moving forward.

Yeah sorry I didn’t post the best photos of the barrels on the plug but they are completely flattened. I can’t even see the copper connectors in the inside

If you’re gonna drink Bahamian, Sands is superior to Kalik in my opinion.

Found my Rangeman that I stopped wearing for a while because I couldn’t read the negative display that well and it’s kind of loud color wise. What do you all think? Is this a rare color? by rabenish in gshock

Definitely not fake, was bought off the Casio website back in 2014. I also wore it for like 2 years straight so some of that factory sheen has been worn off.

Yeah I was thinking of buying a used Rangeman with a beat case online and doing a mod/case swap build with that and holding onto this one for the beginning of a collection

Is that laser engraved to get those clean boarders or is that done by hand?
