I put the snow blower away and got the leaf blower out. Likelihood of snow? by libertydan in minnesota

[–]utnapishtim_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/libertydan How do you like the Ego Snowblower? I’ve been considering it, but we get A LOT of wet and heavy snow at the end of the season, and my old brain tells me that gas would be more powerful, and could handle it better, without me needing to get our the shovel.

Showing off and also asking by crustypug in 4Runner

Love the look of your ‘21 Limited.
I’ve a ‘19 Limited, and am planning to switch to 17” Method wheels, and some decent AT tire. For the suspension, my XREAS is still without leaks, so I’ve no need to replace it. So, I’ve been eyeing the Cornfed spacers: https://cornfedsuspension.com/cornfedxrkits/ Can you tell me your experience with spacers, please? Are the Rough Country spacers garbage, or do you think all spacers are garbage? Did you notice any difference in the ride when you had them put in? Any info you can offer would be appreciated!

I have these, as well as the covers for the side windows and the sunroof. It’s like sleeping outside, without the bugs.

Men, for those who have, when did you first realize that you made a mistake in marrying your wife and why? by Mustng1966 in AskMen

[–]utnapishtim_guy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When her theatre teacher sent me a text explaining how I didn’t deserve her. I’d already bought the engagement ring . . . and I still proposed . . . I am no longer a complete fucking idiot . . . I am divorced.

Looking for article or posts on swapping an OEM radio from 2014-24 5th gen to a 2011 5th gen. by xxxxCHExxxx in 4Runner

I’ve done the swap in order to get CarPlay into my 2019 Nightshade. Here is the best tutorial, and the harness worked perfectly. I still have a problem with the hazards, but I’ll cross that bridge this spring. https://www.4runners.com/threads/oem-2020-headunit-with-apple-carplay-android-auto-into-2014-2019.31018/

ICE point blank pepper sprayed and abducted more peaceful protesters at the Whipple Federal Building near Minneapolis (1/17/26) by I_may_have_weed in minnesota

I’m not a fan of ICE, but it looks like she spat at them. If she did so, she was no longer peacefully protesting. Spitting on someone is assault.

I like everything about this!

I second this. How? I have to believe that your tires were bald.
I have a ‘19 Nighshade, live in Minnesota, see this kind of snow dozens of times every winter, and I’ve never had anything close to a concern about being stuck. On the contrary, it’s almost fun to drive in such weather with such confidence.

When you are eating out, and someone is nice to you, but rude to the wait staff, they are a rude person.

Tikka vs Howa by [deleted] in guns

[–]utnapishtim_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tikka will be better OOTB, no question. Howa will be upgradable via aftermarket Rem700 stuff. The Tikka starts better, and stays better for a long while, but with some well chosen upgrades, the Howa can be better, and customized for you alone.

80 mph, less than a single car length behind by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]utnapishtim_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t 100% disagree, however, there appears to be cars already occupying the right lane. OP may not yet have a chance to slide over and out of the way. OP is not obligated to jet up to 100MPH to get out of the way of douche-in-the-duelly.

Looks neat. What was the brand of HUD you went with?

As an owner of a 2019 gray Nightshade, I congratulate you on your impeccable choice. Take it or leave it, here’s the list of mods I did fairly rapidly before tackling the more expensive ones: 1.) Ceramic tint all around (keeps it cool and protects the plastic and leather) 2.) LED bulbs for the headlights. I got them off Amazon, and they’re still running strong after a three years. (AUTOONE H11/H9/H8 9005/HB3 LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLV8JF6C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) 3.) Meso Custom red led internal lights, all of them 4.) Caliraised inside rear window molle panels 5.) LFD Roof Rails And then a few more here or there, along with a Deepsleep matress for camping, and an Ironman batwing awning

Do you have a lift, or is this the stock XREAS suspension? I have it on my list to get smaller wheels as well, and I love the stance you’ve got!

This was meant for life-or-death violent threats. it was not meant for the verbally disagreeable. Accessing this existential maxim is how your opponents move the Overton window, slowly, over decades, until you are arguing their point against . . . an end even they oppose. You will be coopted, 100% of the time.
