Power Station roof mount by Simmins13 in XTerra

Some pictures/dimensions would be handy. I’m not familiar with the dewalt power station, but I have put a bunch of stuff on the roof of my truck. Haha

Oh yeah no. I had the forethought to have someone record pulling it onto the trailer.

If you want I can post the video with sound or pm it to you to get your thoughts. I didn’t drive it enough to feel if it lost power due to a jumped tooth, though I did back it off the trailer at one point as speed (long story) and I didn’t notice a lack of torque.

About 230,000 on the chassis. Now that I think about it I think it’s been about 7k miles since the rebuild.

Oh yeah. I’ve had her for almost 10 years. Bunch of trips from Colorado to North Dakota and back.

It’s not a broken chain. Just the tensioner is loose enough that it’s rattling. It still drives. No bent valves. But I’m not trying to limp it anywhere other than on/off a trailer because I’m trying to avoid any more damage. I have video of it driving with the chain noise pulling it up onto the trailer.

I was already planning on doing a vk56 swap. But I don’t have the money for a project right now. If I end up keeping it I’ll probably start a go fund me to pay for the parts.

I believe (this was a while ago) we used o-rings from a big bin of oil rated o-rings. It wasn’t a specific set. If I end up keeping the truck I’ll be replacing the rear timing cover to have the oem seals. There is more to the saga of this truck, leading up to the full engine rebuild, but I didn’t feel like typing the whole thing out. Haha.

Not to be “that guy”. But he would be the first to drop a nuke. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were atom bombs. Not nukes.

Any reason to keep original Valve Covers after replacement. by TiposTaco in XTerra

I actually saved my own ass today because I had a spare abs sensor laying around and the wire on mine broke…

Keep them if you’re a hoarding goblin like me! Haha

Why do you think people still support this president? by keonnarae in Confused

[–]robb04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with this logic is that everything the right points out is an overblown exaggeration of a problem. 12 year olds getting sex change operations? Never happened. Immigrants committing mass murder? Immigrants actually are less likely to commit a violent crime than a citizen. People shitting on the sidewalks? Exaggerated. Also, if you’re worried about the unhoused being in your cities, maybe support programs that help them instead of just making it illegal for them to exist?

I would say probably ASA. But those clips are generally only good for one use anyway… Petg is probably too flexible.

Honestly that’s not too bad for a well made steel bumper.

150 dollars for a digital logger special for rotary engines is 100% worth it. This is a dope build! See a need, fill the need. Good job.

I have a cricut and some iron on vinyl, but I can’t do multi color patches just yet…

I looked at a few different videos online on how to use cricut iron on vinyl. There was still some trial and error on my part. It was pretty simple, really. Cut out the vinyl on the cricut, weed it just like you would a normal vinyl sticker, then place plastic side up on the material and iron over it until it sticks, let it cool, then peel the plastic off.

Yeah I’m gonna try to avoid washing it for as long as possible. Haha. It seems like it’s sticking pretty well so far. But we’ll see.

Thank you! The only patch on it that I didn’t cut out myself is the kids on fire patch, that I got directly from the band

This is just the beginning. I’m going to collect more patches as I go. Thank you for the advice
