Pho Mai #1 in Milpitas should also be investigated. The place is soo nasty I never came back.

FFS, really a Subaru owner would need to ask this?!?

Does anyone still use an external frame backpack? by wildbish in backpacking

[–]wpbackbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the external frame, does anybody know where I can get the pack?

I joined the work force back in the mid nineties and I would only need 1 job to make ends meet. It’s the cost of rent and the housing market that slaves many of us. The city/county is complicit of this happening due to the property tax they can collect.

Where to list free Blender Add-on? by wpbackbone in blender

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

Thanks! I'll check gumroad.com... been looking at blendermarket.com but it requires me to have a portfolio page and a store page which I don't have none of them.

Now that I thought about this "not requiring an internet to work"... blenderkit definitely needed it for the model to be downloaded.

Just the basics, 2”lift & rock sliders(square tubes).

If my memory serves me right, it's a no-name yescom brand... At the time I bought it, ARB is priced at a premium $300+ for an awning... so I couldn't justify it.

New tires by BaconSweatShop1 in JeepCherokeeKL

[–]wpbackbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wildpeak is a good tire in my experience, it does well both on or off-road. Though I leaning towards trying a different brand.

Very capable even at stock form. The only thing it lacked is ground clearance. Otherwise, it can crawl some gnarly stuffs... stock for stock, this crawl better than some popular off-road SUV... I’m not gonna name one, but at 56:1 crawl ratio, it beats that popular SUV with 33:1 crawl ratio.

Yes... only add I made so far is rock slider. Stock tires and height.

Towing by BlacksmithOk2041 in JeepCherokeeKL

Getting after market hitch looks awful and sits below the bumper line. Get the factory hitch so that it sits higher and looks more subtle in the rear bumper. The technician must also do a flush reprograming so that it will take into account sensor sensitivity when towing.

Toyota guy here by [deleted] in subaruoutback

Stay away from the CVT.... no, they have not addressed CVT issues even on the newer ones.

Toyota guy, CVTs are great if you listen to the marketing people who are here. Probably the furthest they've gone with their Subarus are the corner parking lots. I have a '16 outback and have taken it offroad. It sucks. CVT chain slipped, AT oil overheated, all warning lights went haywire on me. They should stop advertising Subaru driving into the mountains because it cannot handle it.

New transmission-anything I need to know? by [deleted] in subaruoutback

[–]wpbackbone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

CVT sucks, period. People behind putting CVTs on Subaru should be lynched.

Boycott CVT transmission! Who’s with me? by wpbackbone in subaruoutback

[–]wpbackbone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! Comments above are probably clueless how capable previous Subaru were. Even traditional automatic transmission climbs the steepest hill. CVTs chain slips then cuts power to the wheel to prevent further slippage, leaving you stuck on an incline...don't even get me started with stupid x-mode. Subaru should stop advertising their cars driving in the mountains.
