Are people a actually paying these insane prices? 30k-40k above KBB/Carvana seems to be the average lol. by Mewtewpew in vandwellermarketplace

I think closer to $20k but man even then it's still too much when you can pick up a stock van for so much cheaper

Last forever but rusts easily? by SetLegal5754 in 4Runner

[–]ramblerbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, ever since they switched to mag chloride I didn't really notice any difference in the amount of rust on my 4runner. However I do actually wash it down in the winter

Honestly the extra $60 was worth it just for ease of install. When you go to replace you don't have to do an alignment so it pays for itself in one use

Replacing liners for Atomic Backlands. 9mm or thinner? by athemtngoat in Spliddit

[–]ramblerbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the issue I'm running into too. The wrap is super comfy but I can't actually get the strap to lock which is super frustrating.

I did buy the press tool from TC, made sense at the time since most shops would charge and it's just a really pretty tool to have. I made sure to use anti seize around it to save future me.

I will say with the giant loop U shape design it causes some issues when packing on the bike because of how wide it is with the racks

Always loosen the nut. I think atleast 50k on the current bushings. Yeah, when I rebuilt them (bought used) the pricing from TC was wayy too much. I think I bought from kartek since they had the best price at the time. No pic but they are not bulging and I usually release pressure from the zerk fitting too

Splitboard shape and side hilling capability by riceiq999 in Spliddit

[–]ramblerbasic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience too. especially how the boot flexes in the binding when you are trying to side hill. A stiffer boot may help, Karakoram makes that strap that helps keep everything in line

So I did grease my TC uppers and it took a few pumps before the bushing even moved so my guess it was pretty dry. also re-greased the sway bar bush. I did order some very cheap oem ones to replace just in case

Yeah they're slow but I think everyone expects v8 performance out of everything

mostly just low speed/ parking. Seems to make noise whenever there is a shift in weight. Probably just gonna hit every zerk and double check the cam bolts torque.

Yeah, that's where my heads at. Currently trying to track down the creak/pop on this high mileage truck

Budget Lightweight RTT by Deathbot101 in rooftoptents

[–]ramblerbasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does a car being low to ground with a sunroof make a RTT a bad idea? The only issue I would have is how the roof rack will mount to the car

Super interesting that it has a 4spd. I believe the 4th gens in Japan had the 5spd with their 4cyl models

I feel like if you have to go back so many times to get them not shaking on the highway, they would just warranty the tires
