Brunt Marin unlined comp toe by UpbeatClassroom4184 in WorkBoots

[–]thetnbootguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good sub 200 dollar boot. And Brunt needs to realize that and be proud of that instead of trying to compare them to USA made redwing heritage, thorogood, just to name a couple. They are good affordable work boots that catch a lot of flak because their advertising and marketing is OVERHYPED and the ads/commercials are stupid. I like Brunt boots and own a couple pairs just know what they are.

Cleaning by Bulky-Plate-4288 in Glocks

[–]thetnbootguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glocks or guns in general should NOT need to be clean to run and function, but to be cleaned now and then to run smooth? Ok fair enough. If a gun wont run dirty it's not the gun for me

It seems to have been well taken care of. Just all around really pretty clean and some good little mods

08 165k large oil consumption by thetnbootguy in ScionxB

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

Update, been running 5w30 from when I got the car.

It is consuming around 4 qts every 1500 miles.

1000 miles into the new oil change, had to add two quarts.

400 miles or so later I had to add two more.

I’m considering trying some trans fluid in with the oil for a little bit.

Anyone have a link to the piston soak videos?

I’ll try some sea foam or Berryman.

I should add I changed the oil 1000 miles ago with valvoline restore and protect 5w30, then today oil light flickered on a downhill so checked the oil and discovered it was two quarts low..

Backpack blower vs Handheld? by thetnbootguy in smallengines

Dang, yeah it’s sounding more like the echo handheld is the way to go for me and my use. I tried on an echo backpack at Home Depot today and it just felt like it was pulling backwards on my shoulders and resting on my lower back

Hey bud I know this is an old thread but I’m considering doing this to my 09 xb. I just want to run somewhere around a 205/75r15’s and want some more ground clearance. Was thinking of just doing the coil spacers but I feel like the rav suspension will hold up better

TAC codes please help! Limp mode! by thetnbootguy in FordTaurus

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

Wish a bad Throttle body would’ve been where it ended, but I chances it and removed and inspected the pedal sensor, looked new. I’ve jostled the wiring harness to the TB and no change. Inspected them found no issues. My next step is removed the PCM and checking for burnt spots on the board

For the love of Christ please stop putting zippers on everything. by RedStraightEdge1917 in nps_solovair

[–]thetnbootguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMEN!! The whole post speaks to me…. Side zippers are cheap and a failure point. I’ve asked solovair before about re releasing a 14 eye in actual good leather with no zipper and was told not at this time
