We just had 5 solid days of snow, then rained for two days straight and melted a bunch. I had to throw the F250 in 4 low yesterday and massage some snow berms with the 460.

IF I ever buy another 4x4 to build it WILL be a 76 Broncco.

Seth and Stephan, I use either 5x or 8x butane for BHO. The reason I am interested in the RSO is for seize patients. I am investing in a CO2 reclamation system system hopefully sooner than later.

SETH I just searched for a quote from you so that you would see this! So I took my mothers 2.5 2003 Nissan Altima (100k miles) in because it was idling rough and would "chug" while driving. They had it for 3 days and could not get it to replicate the problem. I said fine forget it as my Mom had already bought a new car and she was just going to cut her losses and she was going to sell it. I couldn't pick it up that day and the next day I get a call that they tried to back it out of the garage and it "blew up" it made a loud sound and now it won't start. They said that the 3rd cylinder had low pressure and they didn't want to dig any deeper without permission. They said that it may have "jumped the timing chain" and that it could be an easy fix or that "the engine might need to be replaced". This car has been meticulously maintained by these idiots but I just have a hard time believing that this engine is truly done. Is there anything that you can suggest without having your hands on it? This place seems to be incompetent but they are not trying to charge to fix anything so I do not know what to make of the situation. If you can suggest anything I'd appreciate it. We are basically looking for the best way to get rid of it financially.Basically if it were your car and you couldn't work on it yourself what would you do? We had an offer of $750 for it but it has $500 dollars worth of brand new rubber on it, and the kbb value is about 4.5k in poor condition. Should we attempt to repair and sell it, or should we just sell it as a "mechanics special"? If we try to sell it what should we expect? I completely understand if you can't give a definitive answer, I'm just looking for a ballpark. I'd get the issue looked into by a competent mechanic before selling it. It is doubtful that it is a mechanical issue, by the sounds of things. On a Nissan I would be more inclined to believe an injector failure. Odds are they tried throwing coils and plugs on it and it didn't work. Nissans are notorious for injector issues. I agree with Seth that is more likely something non mechanical, like an injector or bad sensor somewhere sending faulty signals to the ECM. Lazy mechanics don't want anything to do with electrical gremlins. I have repaired and sold many electric gremlin cars that I got for free. Have you retrieved any code's from the ECM? Try resetting the ECM and see if it has any effect. When an ECM is reset it will run in limp (default) mode for X amount of mile's (usaully around 50mi) until the ECM has collected enough data to recalibrate. To reset the ECM disconnect the battery cables and hold the cable ends together. This will discharge any power stored in the ECM and clear all collected data. Make sure to retrieve any codes before discharging. Some code's are false in the sense that they point you in the right direction, but not always the actual sensor.My mother insisted that I should offer you guys something. You both helped us a lot with the Altima and Seth my Mom said that you made it easier for her to sleep tonight knowing that it is probably something simple with the bmw and that alone made me so happy that you responded. If you guys have a favorite place to eat let me know as she and I would like to buy you guys dinner. Thanks again fellas! Honestly that heartfelt thanks is more than enough payment. Tell her I said thanks. Tell her to donate my cut to a charity of her choice or use it to make a difference in a kid's life.

Suck's even buying a new vehicle with at that automatic crap. As long as there is a switch to shut it of when I need to actively drive for christs sake.

Was like rolling around in a safari vehicle. Was a good friend's before mine. I actually got that given to me for free as a work bonus. lol

I saw the 2 of them together about 20 years ago. Was probably the same tour, as it was 18 years ago this up coming summer. The astrocreep/Great southern Trend Kill tour.

If it's a YJ, try to ride another swb, leaf-sprung vehicle and tell is how you love it The Blazer was getting that way by the time I sold it. I miss you Blazer.

They have juices with no nicotine. I am still amazed the market that has popped up as ppl that don't even smoke are vaping. That looks like a lot of stuff for vaping. One more hobby to empty the pockets I agree as why I will not be turning it into a hobby. Trying it to stop smoking on the other hand sucks balls.

I'm just going to use the tablet as-is, 8GB is plenty of music for me. The wife asked what I am doing tho the '65 'Stang HU, as she wants the original dash. I told her this was her answer. IT will be had not to have my CD's to tune with but I guess I better get use to it.

Is that from Adrian's kitchen? We don't have branded stuff That one went right over my head the other day, but I get it know.

Trying to trade both my nutt's for a Tool ticket as we speak. Hopefully going to Mastodon in may!! NEED some high energy transfer for sure.

It has been a thrasher kind of day for me. I WILL find a live show VERY soon. Need to transfer some energy.

And then....

They can be addictive to some people. Size MUST fit and flow with the body part. Thats the age I set also. I will do the tatt's of course. I have tattoo'ed a few niece's and nephew's but not my daughter....yet.

Oddly I pick up on algorithms and just flow with the tempo, so really doesn't matter what style of music I am jamming really.

I did Mumford and Son's for about 2 hrs a earlier. lol didn't help.

I have done those on whole family's before. Even the youngin's.

Just plug them into the 3.5mm jack on the comp speakers. Then you are good to go and can surf youtube on another page or jam what I post.

I checked this thread out the other day. Guess I forgot to leave a comment. Love the ride! that thing is fly as a motherfucka'. I say try the Bose out and see what you think. May just need to add a sub for a little warm and presence.

I am about ready to do a cross country trip I think. Need some time on the road...... the J-road that is.

Are you jamming headphone's Chuck?

My two daughters keep me running between everything the do but are honor role students and super active so it's a solid trade off. but yeah, I couldn't imagine 4 kids. My older brother has 6 for fuck sake.

I too have no gun's accessible to me for similar reasons.

It is 90% install, 10% beer.
