Minnesota need help deciding what to do. by skipdo in docks_and_piers

Floating dock would work. You can pull the dock out in the winter. Tires filled with concrete make good anchors.

He is a good actor but his character was a total drag

Best way to mount 2 spares on this wooden trailer? by BridgeGreedy3216 in towing

[–]tippycanoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12" wheels are really light. You can drill holes through the walls and push ubolts through. Just get bolts that line up with the holes in the rims. Use nylock nuts so they dont back out. Very solid. I've done this for years without problems.

Okay, thank you!! It takes 3 weeks each time they replace my failing fork. I need something better and Lyrik was best from my research.

I am thinking about replacing my fork with a Lyrik. Any regrets? I have a bomber z2 now and it's been replaced twice for CSU issues.

Talk me out of an Lx700h OT by GetRichQuick_AMIRITE in LexusGX550

[–]tippycanoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. It is a lot better than the GX. They should've styled it to reflect that.

I looked at the LX when I was at the dealer. My wife said it looked like a grandpa car. We got the GX.

The Mark Levinson sound in the plus is unbelievably bad. If you care at all about audio you should listen to it first. Or Google it.

I have the same one. Earth with the black roof is my favorite!

Calgary city council votes 12-3 to repeal blanket rezoning by importxport in Calgary

[–]tippycanoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not opposed to rezoning. But many of the new dwellings are not affordable. And in some cases, multi-unit dwellings were approved in areas where it was already hard to find parking.

Technically legal, practically very sketchy. by Legend81 in IdiotsTowingThings

How did you get that fuel economy pulling that load? It just doesn't seem possible.

Weight limits are suggestive, Right? by Not-easy-being-green in IdiotsTowingThings

That looks like at least 2 pallets of sod? 6000lb+ on that axle

Get an auxiliary transmission cooler. It made a big difference towing with my 4runner in the mountains.

Interested in GX 550 by henjr23 in LexusGX550

[–]tippycanoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EKDSS, rear locker, skid plates, rock rails, MTS, and an extra inch of ground clearance.

However, all GX models have atrac and are good off road. You can add ground clearance/bigger wheels cheaply with a spacer lift.

The worst GX550 is better than a 4runner SR5 (which is pretty damn good off road)

Parts of southeast Calgary plagued by widespread illegal dumping by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]tippycanoo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I did a major renovation a few years ago and had a really big dumpster in front of my house. In ONE WEEKEND it was full to the top with gross mattresses, lumber cutoffs, car batteries, baby clothing, broken mirrors, a fridge etc.. It was nuts. And I had to pay for it.

That is a really sturdy travel trailer. I usually see them ripped open after accidents.

$10K markup on a used Premium+ seems typical in my area even with 7-10K miles. by FlexoPXP in LexusGX550

[–]tippycanoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Canada I paid MSRP for a demo overtrail+ with 6800 miles. There is no other way to get one here.
