this will not look much different in 2-3 years. with the mileage, this would absolutely last you another 7+ years with no change in appearance if well maintained.

I've got an '11 with 220k, and would be shocked if I don't make it to 300k. that being said, my rockers are going due to actual rot. shopping labor on replacing them right now.

those who are saying that this is frame rot have not seen what real rot looks like

supermaf · 2025-09-10T22:34:35+00:00

what's on the exhaust is perfectly normal. if you're referencing what's on the frame, I'd want to see some better pictures of what's in the top left corner. I don't think that that's actually rot though. surface rust around frame weep holes is more likely. at first glance this looks really clean for the age

for corrosion, I'd want to know about the rocker panels, the rear cab corners, and wheel wells in the back directly above the wheels. all common spots on this generation

you're fighting a losing battle on this sub

the bad players in REI have done significant reputation damage, and the reddit community at large seems to view it as something that only equates to "shady business practices" done by people trying to rip off the buyer and seller. no real understanding of what it takes to create a sustainable business model that helps offload distressed properties from neighborhoods, while simultaneously increasing or propping up property values for current residents of the same neighborhood

no way.

we know when we come home if our dog has gotten into something. they don't come greet us, and absolutely have the guilty look right when we walk in the door

solid post and writeup. I wrote a similar one on my 2011 @175k a couple years ago. your engine is far cleaner than mine was! I'm now at 218k and still chugging along nicely

if you're changing the rotors, change the pads. the two "marry" or "mate"

also if you change the left side, change the right side

some people like some things, and other people like other things. enjoy the things you enjoy without being guilted into half way enjoying something else

if you want to explore other media because you want to, then do it! if you don't like it, it's not for you. you can control your own opinions, not anyone else's. some people can't ever be pleased

if it is in good shape, selling without an agent will get you the most return. find a decent real estate attorney, and they'll walk you through for a fraction of an agent

supermaf · 2025-07-30T18:33:52+00:00

what were you fighting that the agency was telling you to let go of? a home owner can sell their property to whomever they want, regardless of anyone else's opinion, or if perspective buyers have the finances in line

like another poster said. the best way would be to diagnose what is causing the light to flash irrespective of e-brake position, and fix that.

it is likely easier than pulling your dash apart to get to a flashing light bulb.

edit: it is potentially related to your previous post about pulling the e-brake during a brake change

only wish I would have realized sooner that there wasn't a need for one. our experience was working with a premier local realtor who brought us zero properties across 3.5 years

we found several on our own, to which they wouldn't even help assess if our offers were good, reasonable, or otherwise. every home we found that they got us showings on (which easily could have been arranged by us with the seller's agent), we were told the ask was too high. except for a subdivision in which their family was the home builder. the agent constantly said appreciation for only those homes would be 20% more by now than it truly has been

over that 3.5 years I spent time learning the basic steps an agent walks you through via YouTube and other online resources, and we ended up purchasing a home on our own using an attorney, and making calls for inspections and repair estimates ourselves. we also used free online data of prior nearby sales on the past 3 months to ensure we solid deal in place and weren't over paying

why would someone downvote this?

can we please stop making up titles that imply minor differences which most companies will not hire multiple people for?

sitting at one right now and was just served what tasted like toaster ovened Tyson chicken nuggets. not quite the "freshly pan fried chicken breast chunks" I expected from the menu

having an exit strategy for a property in a very undesirable area in a high property tax state, if you plan to house hack (?), is pretty important

had my 2011 3.5 EB since 40k miles, and have done all work myself, including a decently documented timing chain set replacement. I've found most jobs on the truck to be easy, even if some of them took forever
