spog posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbCBmuluF4 Off, Sore, and Agony. Well, OK, then. I discovered throught the related videos to the first video on that product (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClSch3zLC0k) the concept of "fidget spinners", and I'm flabbergasted what some of those things cost. I mean, I get it - I like fiddling with spinny things (disassembled hard drive motors work well), but Jesus: https://fromrussiawithknives.com/ckf-pepyakka2-spinner-torqbar/ $200+, when they have them. DIY ones are cheap though, with Chinese bearings and some hardware or bicycle bits. Just an observation that hipsters will pay stupid $$ for useless objects, I guess. kastein posted:have you tried doing one? I recommend you do that before you tell people it's easy. In terms of parts availability and knowledge, I see what he means, but yeah, even swapping the same engine in and out of a car is sometimes painful. quote:e: oh jesus loving christ who gave me this, I'm not sure if it's worse or better than the last one I need to give you back the toy Jeep. edit: I liked the toy Jeep.

kastein posted:have you tried doing one? I recommend you do that before you tell people it's easy. Yes, I've built an LS for a friend. LS swapped into an XJ with an AX15 and an adapter plate. You figure with the past two lengthy threads I've done on motor swaps and fuel injection that I'd have some AI cred with doing engine swaps by now... And I regularly have towed cars with Mercedes diesels. Its why I'm hunting for another Wagon. Towing with gas vehicles, no matter how powerful, sucks. The new Ford turbo motors get a pass, they are decent, but that's mostly due to the Direct Injection and turbocharging. I'd rather tow with a diesel anyday.  Seriously, I get it, I'll shut up about the LS. Stop quoting me about it. gently caress. Have some loving CREE light bars:

Just means it's going to reflect right up any time the road's wet.. aka 90% of the time you want to use it. gently caress those things. I've almost ended up ditched so many times coming home at 2am on rural roads when some chucklefuck with high-aimed HIDz and a LED bar comes around a corner ahead of me.

The problem is that way too many people just drive around with them on all the time around town or whatever. I had huge driving lights on my old subaru to do night time navigational rallies. They were awesome. But they were also wired into the high beam circuit with a switch. So for the lights to be on, the switch and the high beams both had to also be on. On a related note I see a lot of people who think they need high beams to drive through a neighborhood at 25mph at night.

Here in Aus we still get shitheads with a spotlight facing backwards on their junkass 4x4's. when I lived up the range they would flick it on so it blinded the cars behind them while they did 40km/hr up the hill, which was an 80 zone

Probably because junkass 4x4s don't have a turbodiesel and are slower than shitfuck. and admittedly, I've done that very thing. but if I'm on a hill in the slowlane with hazards on and you ride my rear end with brights, you're gonna' get whats coming for you dickstain.
