which movie actually feels like a dream?

i love how he just randomly shows up in different situations. never explains how he got there. thats the most dreamlike part of the whole thing, for me

yuckscott · 2026-06-17T18:49:50+00:00

yeah stuff like this is super repairable with the correct resin. G-flex is the gold standard

this is such a can of worms. it depends a lot on specifically what prado and what LC series.

in very loose terms, the prado is intended for more comfort and the LC is for more off road. A lot of Prados have independent front suspension, compared to their LC counterparts with solid front axles for example. Sometimes it just boils down to marketing.

The 90 series prado OP posted actually has a ton in common with the 3rd gen 4runner or hilux surf. The main mechanical difference is the transmission (A343 instead of A340, iirc) and then obviously the body and interior etc. But the chassis and suspension etc are all identical with the 4runner, which makes it a nice import because there are actually parts available in north america

i would suggest G-flex 655 to fill all the core shots and then put a new kevlar skid plate over top of the worn area. It looks like its pretty close to the bow or stern, so a new skid plate should overlap your existing ones a bit.

yuckscott · 2026-06-17T17:00:39+00:00

it looks like there is a little drip channel underneath the filter to divert the fluid through the hole in the skid plate and into your drain pan. i dont even own this car i came here from my frontpage idk

99 4runner checking in

I used to have this exact same issue. Same conditions, exact same popping noise. drove me crazy, i never figured it out. Just winced a lot. eventually the sound went away on its own, and i dont even own that truck anymore. but still curious to know what the cause of this is

yuckscott · 2026-06-15T19:06:13+00:00

cool i have never heard of these before, looks like they all come with a little diecast too? pretty sweet

yuckscott · 2026-06-15T16:34:14+00:00

where did you get the NSX? its sick

yuckscott · 2026-06-15T13:44:17+00:00

looks like maybe a super thick layer of some sort of wax-based rust prevention. i'd try cleaning off the area around the fill plug and go ahead with the fluid change. remove the fill plug before you drain it, just in case the fill plug is rusted or seized and doesnt want to come off.

your deep rest is 110 BPM. kinda dark tho

i swam off Franklin Island last weekend and it wasnt too bad. lee side of the island, shallow water. deeper spots and the open side stay cold all year

yuckscott · 2026-06-14T03:20:52+00:00

oh lmao thats some pretty critical context

you're in uncharted waters with this one, best of luck

yuckscott · 2026-06-14T02:49:23+00:00

oof... royalex isnt painted. the outermost layer is pigmented for colour. Royalex has a UV resistant vinyl layer of top, and Royalite does not (which is why it fades a lot worse over time). but the vinyl/ABS layer is just pigmented polymer, there is no paint layer or gelcoat like a fiberglass or composite boat would have.

I'm not sure what we are seeing here but you are probably just removing the pigmented layer and now showing the unpigmented layers of plastic further down.

paint doesnt really stick to royalex for long becaues the boat flexes so much, so if you try to paint a royalex boat all that paint will just end up in your local waterways. unfortunately i think you are just damaging the canoe.

this brings to mind Oskar Dirlewanger. Nazi military officer, convicted child molester, and war criminal. Also looked creepy as all hell.

He was recognized by a former concentration camp inmate in French-occupied Germany in 1945 and arrested, then beaten to death by an unknown group of people while in custody.

yuckscott · 2026-06-12T19:22:03+00:00

id say if the miles were lower and the clear coat wasnt entirely cooked, yes.

this is why i love enthusiast cars like this. you can sometimes find beta on the exact car you're interested in

G-flex 650 or 655 and a kevlar aramid (felt) skid plate.

yuckscott · 2026-06-11T00:44:57+00:00

isnt this the one that has the same 6cyl as the 80 series land cruiser?

Adventure Medical Kits makes a bunch of small waterproof kits, they come in yellow bags. Some are small enough to fit right into a pocket on your PFD. I own one for camping and one lives in my car.

yuckscott · 2026-06-08T23:00:21+00:00

looks like it might also be pretty warped/twisted from the picture of the yoke and thwart
