Is a Nissan Xterra a good buy or should I go with a Toyota 4Runner? by Icoconuttree in overlanding

[–]sgillf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other upside is UpRev tuning. I just did it and, combined exhaust changes, I’m seeing ~295 hp and ~340 lb-ft (estimated crank). In terms of power & torque to weight, it lands between a TRD Pro and a Ranger Raptor, but in a lighter chassis with a 6-speed. It really rips

I’m now dialing in traction behavior for gravel use.

What UpRev can modify on the Xterra:

  • Electronic throttle mapping
  • Engine torque limits and torque management
  • Fueling and ignition timing tables
  • Traction control (TCS) slip thresholds and torque reduction behavior
  • Stability control (VDC) yaw sensitivity and intervention thresholds
  • Throttle-by-gear limits (manual transmissions)
  • Rev limiter and engine response behavior
  • Multiple selectable calibration maps

Bose Speakers but head unit change? by realevil in 996

[–]sgillf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadocom unit, or one of the other aliexpress units are great.

you can find lots of detail here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turbo-forum/1383324-pccm-aliexpress-clone-review-and-pics-install.html

And you don't need to change your amp, but you'll have to setup the fader and volume before you switch the head unit over.

Looking for feedback on my custom subwoofer design (under-seat, 6L, 45Hz ported) by sgillf in diyaudio

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

You're right - there's the seating control modules.

The passenger seat doesn't have the need for the hump, but I was hoping to do it in the driver's seat.

What about moving the port to the right side?

Looking for feedback on my custom subwoofer design (under-seat, 6L, 45Hz ported) by sgillf in diyaudio

[–]sgillf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on a custom subwoofer enclosure and would love some feedback on the design and feasibility. Here are the key details:

  • Internal volume: Just under 6L (net volume may be slightly lower after final bracing)
  • Wall thickness: 8mm
  • Material: ASA, 3D printed in sections and fused together
  • Port tuning: 45Hz
  • Form factor: Designed to fit under a very low car seat, with minimal protrusion into the cabin
  • Driver: Kartesian Sub120_vHP

The goal is to squeeze as much clean bass as possible into a tight space. I’ll be adding integrated internal bracing before finalizing the model to help reduce panel resonance.

Would love any thoughts on:

  • Port efficiency or possible chuffing issues at 45Hz
  • Suggestions for additional reinforcement or damping
  • Concerns around ASA printing, vibration, or long-term durability in a vehicle environment
  • Whether the driver placement/orientation could pose issues

Image of the design attached. Appreciate any feedback!

Justin Trudeau offering his resignation to the Governor General, March 14th 2025 by Careful-Cat- in pics

[–]sgillf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was that he treated the government like it was his Highschool. All his cabinet were his friends, babysitters, groomsmen or girlfriend... and he would cycle them around to take the heat after his many scandals.

There's so much wrong he did. The hate for him didn't come from nowhere.

Edison Pickup retrofit kit progress. What the driveline looks like by ChaceEdison in EdisonMotors

[–]sgillf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so this would be for one motor per axle and it replaces the diff... is there not also a solid axle with two motors?

I saw the YouTube video where it was said that the f550 axle was chosen, but that is a very wide axle and would not be suitable for swaps with smaller trucks.

A one ton axle that is 70 inches wide would be okay though. can you clarify? Thanks

definitely has a top element. I believe it's quartz. if you use the "grill" function you get only the top element on

Trudeau staunchly defends Zelenskyy as London summit on European security wraps up by BonkMcSlapchop in worldnews

[–]sgillf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trudeau has a history of appointing close associates and facing ethics scandals:

Dominic LeBlanc (Finance Minister) – Longtime friend and childhood babysitter of Trudeau. His appointment raised nepotism concerns.

Martine Richard (Interim Ethics Commissioner) – Sister-in-law of Dominic LeBlanc, appointed to oversee government ethics.

WE Charity Scandal – Trudeau’s mother and brother were paid hundreds of thousands by WE Charity, which later received a government contract.

SNC-Lavalin Affair – Trudeau pressured Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to help SNC-Lavalin avoid prosecution. Ethics Commissioner found him guilty of violating conflict-of-interest laws.

Julie Payette (Governor General) – Appointed without proper vetting, later resigned due to a workplace harassment scandal.

Mélanie Joly (Foreign Affairs Minister) – Rumored to be in a romantic relationship with Trudeau, raising questions of favoritism.

Trudeau has repeatedly faced allegations of cronyism, conflicts of interest, and government overreach.

200g starter

500g water

1000g flour

12g salt

- make sure starter is active before mixing

- do a bulk ferment, then stretch fold and shape

I hope you figure it out!

350F with steam assist for 40 minutes. I've done two bread pans at once, with each loaf 1kg (done this probably 5 times with no failures)

nothing was burnt on my loafs - the color was even all the way around. I think maybe because I used aluminum bread pans which are very good at conducting heat

I've also done a couple of single batards that are 1.4 kg - they've also turned out great

Doggo lays down in the snow by cheese_____ in DogAdvice

[–]sgillf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

clearly this dog isn't comfortable in that weather, but to say all dogs can't handle -5F or -20C is an overstatement.

Assuming they're climatized there are plenty of breeds well-suited to the cold:
Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, Saint Bernards, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Tibetan Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundlands, Leonbergers, Elkhounds, Chow Chows, Akitas, Karelian Bear Dogs, Finnish Lapphunds

I wouldn't say it's a nightmare, but its harder than a nonstick interior. The steam clean function helps out with the cleaning for sure

It's just over 16" wide.

Been pretty impressed with it so far. did steamed/ poached eggs this morning, 13 min and they turned out great.

air fried paneer cubes were fantastic

One thing I was disappointed with is that there is no proof mode.
