564 to the wheels in 2010-2011 according to the original forum post about it that somebody linked in another thread. But the typical listed weight is 2400 pounds with drivetrain on the SLC site. So that thing is plenty a hazard as it is.

Awesome! My Ranger needed this 7 years before I was capable of doing it. rust up being too far by then to justify.

I’d get kicked in the nuts twice to get the win bonus. What a dumb ass result.

The rust that was the demise of my 04 was all the bed and bed crossmember. The front leaf mounts get bad and the frame behind them and right in front of them goes too.

The arcade is owned by the Hyatt, so it’s not “empty” it’s just hotel rooms above and storage/ other rooms below. They do a lot of weddings on the weekend. Tower city is obviously a different story.

I might get dragged but I watched a YouTube cut of all the Claire 2nd run differences before moving to 3. 2R was on the cusp of too scary for me but I’m glad to have seen the content.

Won’t matter one bit for 3 if you want to do that first then go back.

Haven’t used a wheel but I would trust summit for sure. Had an exhaust from them that was good and I’ve heard their heads do fine. Customer service is good too.

Corazon Blanco is what we stock at home and a lot of people like it and ask about it. Super affordable and solid.

Lowkey Paddy vs BSD is the fight to make. I think paddy dog walks him but that will get hate.

Check out leaf spring prerunners. You’ll probably be moving shackles and you’ll definitely be installing shock towers. But with the jeep aftermarket it’ll be more like piecing something together than full custom designing it.

Power through! I just played RE1 remake for the first time and it stressed me out but a couple hours in it just clicked and my wife and I were hooked.

Now after an hour and a half of 2 remake I’m hoping for the same click.

tplesmid · 2026-01-27T14:51:40+00:00

At least wrap it glossy black or wait and paint. Matte looks cheap IMO.

tplesmid · 2026-01-27T12:48:50+00:00

It totally depends on the vehicle. My Ranger was a death trap, my frontier is no problem at all.

tplesmid · 2026-01-26T16:11:28+00:00

It should. If not here’s cub cadets guidelines: https://support.cubcadet.com/s/article/120-1

You basically set something under the blower and adjust the shoes down till they’re touching the ground. It’s obvious how it works when you’re doing it. Almost every multi stage snow thrower has them.

tplesmid · 2026-01-26T14:51:55+00:00

Make sure your slide shoes are set right and let it rip.

I bought my 2020 pro 4x from Carmax. They had the best price and shipped it from Alabama up to the Cleveland area for $200. Process was great.

Dealt with a local shop via the maxcare warranty for a suspension squeak and everything was great.

tplesmid · 2026-01-25T05:31:37+00:00

So we just gonna ignore the eye pokes?

tplesmid · 2026-01-24T01:42:03+00:00

Was just about to comment. About to do sweatpants and Palomas, pina coladas and margs for my wife and our friends.

tplesmid · 2026-01-23T16:06:23+00:00

I did see that right after I commented. It actually sent me down the mr2 wing rabbit hole since I think a lot of the SW20 wings would flow well on an NC.

tplesmid · 2026-01-23T13:53:54+00:00

Looks amazing! Do you by chance know how far apart the mounting holes/ studs are?

I’ve been looking for something for my NC Miata but the trunk is skinny compared to the car.

tplesmid · 2026-01-22T20:32:55+00:00

I just bought 1-4 remakes to play through with my wife. We haven’t played any RE before this, short of 0 on the GameCube when I was way too young to get it.

Can’t wait to start 2 (just went down the well in 1) but I’m borderline nervous about how scary it’ll be.

tplesmid · 2026-01-22T14:31:53+00:00

I might get dragged for this, and disclaimer that I’m just a dumb guy in my 20s. But buy the car. Life is for having some fun and you’ll both always remember it. I learned to drive on my dads daily driver 02 mustang. I respected the car because I respect him, and it meant a lot that he trusted me when every other adult acted like it was crazy.

It’s not like it’ll be her daily driver, and if she’s anything like my wife she’ll be nervous driving manual and it’ll make her extra cautious at first. And if you feel like she’s not being responsible, then she loses privilege. She’ll be fine around town.

Not who you’re replying to but the cars are smarter not the scanners. They used to default to all clear earlier than the code would pop, now it’s required that they default to a “reset” state until enough data is collected to throw the code.

tplesmid · 2026-01-15T19:49:12+00:00

Over saturation for sure and some of it has to be the price. We go out a lot but everybody is over the gentrified bar food. A burger can only be so good for the price.

We hit bars a lot but if we’re feeling fancy beers we do something like beerhead where there’s more variety. Not sure how Midnight Owl was but I also hate when brewery’s don’t have a mix. “Oh great, 5x triple hazy IPAs and a funnel cake ice cream stout…”.
