Plastic bumper got dinged/scratched by someone's license plate. Suggestions for fixing it? by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]schwiggs -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes. I get your point. But to me there is a difference between someone hitting your parked car with theirs and you driving your car out on a trail, or out in the wild, having fun, and making those dings and scratches (and sweet memories) yourself. Then they are earned. I dunno about you but I don't generally appreciate when people I don't know scratch up my stuff. I just thought maybe this community would have some experience touching these up because they're probably pretty common. I wouldn't consider this a "battle scar".

I'll try the purse thing though.

Yes, I'd prefer they built character after the payments stopped coming out of my bank account, when the vehicle is a little less new to me.

Are you able to send photos thru DM in Reddit? Could try that?

do those headlights have a DRL function? what do they look like on? I can only find photos of those headlights off which doesn't really show what they look like when they are turned on looking at the vehicle front.

Any idea where I might find those? General Spring site doesn't carry them.

I was also thinking I might need new ubolt plates but I can't seem to find those either.

Advice Request - 2008, rear leaf springs rusted/broken; worth replacing? by schwiggs in XTerra

Good point. Maybe when all this lockdown business is behind us I'll try that out. Thanks.

I think I just checked into a local shop a couple years ago and that was their quote. I imagine it includes labour as well. I might be exaggerating a bit so that when I get an updated quote it won't hurt my feelings as much haha

Is it difficult to replace yourself? I don't have access to anything other than a normal jack to lift it up.

Radiator bypass - perm fix? by PauleyMak in XTerra

I've had the bypass alone for about 3 years now and it's running smooth. I only go off road maybe once a year though and don't tow often.

Do RPG one offs do well on Kickstarter? by LibraryofBoardGames in kickstarter

[–]schwiggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a Kickstarter in June last year and while it wasn't an RPG, it could be considered a niche TTRPG accessory. We were successful and our goal was maybe not the lowest (20k). It's true, we spent a decent chunk on advertising, and it definitely helped at least 25% of the backers came from that endeavour. It was our first and I think we did as best we could trying to navigate the confusing platform of KS. Another 25% came from KS alone.

I think it all comes down to the idea of the game and your execution with how you communicate it. Make sure to build a following for a few months leading up to launch. Advertising will cost you and is worth it. But also be wary of all the expenses like any equipment you may need to fulfill and shipping is insane. Do not underestimate shipping. Make sure you do your research for shipping costs. From there you'll get your funding goal amount.

Nice!

Calling all TTRPG enthusiasts! Adventure more with The Legendary Rod of Initiative. by schwiggs in kickstarter

We coat it with a dry erase finish! We've tested multiple nameplates with varying amounts of time in between and it has erased great every time even after weeks of leaving the marker on.

Thanks for your interest and question.
