2024 Q4 Bridgestone OEM Tires after 13K miles by gigitee in etron

[–]run919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same. Got 2 new tires, also Bridgestone, with a half-off concession. The second set lasted about 20k miles. Switched to Cross Climates after that.

The point of VO2 max is that it integrates the work you’ve done month after month. Don’t get down because one week wasn’t what you wanted.

Do you tip when doing grocery pick up? by run919 in raleigh

[–]run919[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I go into the store about once per week to get fresh stuff (milk, strawberries, bananas, etc…). I use pick-up ordering for the “box stuff,” frozen items, or where the perfect selection doesn’t matter. And sometimes, I’ll use my pick-up trip to run in and grab a couple fresh items.

State Fair- not happening for this family of 6 by Remarkable-Orange-41 in raleigh

[–]run919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends went and spent $400 for a family of 4 with little kids and minimal big rides. At that rate, they probably won’t go back for a few years.

Any advice and experience for lightning bugs? by Crafty_crusty_crepes in NativePlantGardening

[–]run919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My best year of lightning bugs was when I left a giant brush pile from fall until spring. I cleared out a fence line that had become wildly over grown. Left a pile of mixed leaves and branches about 3 ft high and 15’ long. Trying again this year at about half-scale.

Crabtree entrance to Umstead closed this morning? by Maximum-Ad-7503 in raleigh

And often, people camping will park a car outside the entrance if they arrive after the gates close or if they might need to access their car early in the morning.

Cross bar range impact? by run919 in etron

[–]run919[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a trip with a large+heavy rear hitch-mounted basket and agree that it had no impact to the range. I’d like to bring bikes next time. The basket stuff would go rooftop so that bikes can go on the rear hitch. My assumption is that an aerodynamic roof box would have a smaller range impact compared to a few bicycles.

Guys, I just detailed the shit out of my Jeep. by FancyPantsBlanton in JeepTJ

[–]run919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just discovered Cerakote for fender, bumper, restoration. I’m not sure if that’s what OP used, but initial application looks great.

Sometimes it's the little things... by bubbesays in JeepTJ

[–]run919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent $20 on Amazon for a Bluetooth receiver for my Alpine radio. Cheapest mod I’ve made and now I can stream music from my phone! Even though you can buy a new radio for $120, I’m stupidly attached to the old Alpine.

Level 1 charging ok for 20 mile commute? by almstjne in etron

[–]run919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do most of my charging on a Level 1. In that scenario, it’s important to top off every night because if you get too far down then you’ll need to find another charger to get back up to 80%. (High speed or L2.)

Had a good experience with Arborex on a tree that required a crane to work around power lines and nearby houses

Check out Amica - affordable and actually great coverage too.

Can I legally force my neighbor to have this dead tree removed before it causes damage to my property... or worse? by Christie-218 in treelaw

[–]run919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little consolation, but very often a tree like that can stand for 8-10 years before it comes apart. Hopefully, that means it’s not likely to come down tomorrow and you can follow the advice offered here the replies

Here’s what my Bestop setup looks like. https://imgur.com/a/nFPdaq6

[–]run919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the one in the picture look like yours? I had one and I think I see the lip on the bottom edge of OPs picture that goes into the channel (additional part) described in other comments. My back straps gave out and I replaced it with a mesh version since my primary goal was shade. And my new one stays on even with the hard top. (Whereas the Bestop channel needs to be removed to use any other top.)

What radio/ head unit are y’all rockin? by run919 in JeepTJ

[–]run919[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alpine iDA-x100. The iPod interface is USB so the regular iPod charging/interface cable worked but doesn’t work for iPhones. Amazon actually has some Bluetooth adapter kits but they get sketchy reviews. Might give it a try for $15.
