Huge list of poo poo. "lightstone" knee bolster, glove box, and console from a 99-02 p38. a non-buckled p38 dash would also be great. the plastic thing that flips open with the tailgate. Gen3 ford 21 lb injectors (yellow with a 4 hole spray pattern), I'll likely get a rebuilt set from ebay though. I'm hunting for GRD boxes for the baja, but that thing is on hold until I move though.

I typically score shitloads of tools at the yards, and change. tons and tons of change. Yeah lightstone is the color, its the cream colored poo poo. if you cant find that, the "walnut" (tan) door cards from the 99-02 models will have parts I need.

I knew a guy several years ago that was driving his sandrail on a public road, he got a little too careless with the throttle and flipped it. His arm ended up between the cage and road. he didn't lose his arm, but man the scar was god drat ugly as gently caress.

And Terrible seats. You can NOT forget terrible unsupportive lovely loving seats. Sinestro posted:It was the oddest thing growing up. My dad used to hoon the poo poo out of his cars when they were slow and terrible, including a loving terrifying memory of going 110 mph on the highway in a rust-riddled Kia Spectra that literally wobbled and flexed at the middle at that speed, but he finally got a good, fast car and now refuses to go over 70 mph or go around a corner with any sort of force, and yells at me when he is driving with me for doing that. I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU, DAD! I have fond memories of my father doing stoppies in a 80s conversion van sending all of us from the rearmost seat flying into the backs of the front seats. Good times! Mothers driving? Prior to the accident she'd flat foot the thing everywhere. Ditches included. Post the incident? She'd do 40 on the god drat interstate.

No prob! CommieGIR posted:Diesel Dorks got sued for rolling coal. And they deserve it. Good. gently caress em. Motronic posted:It's not just pulling codes. It's replacing parts that need to be "paired", and replacing ECMs that come blank that need software loaded on them and configured. Something like a joystick in my opinion shouldn't need that. loving thing should have a handshake with the controller and set it self up. Plug it in, run it through the min/max. It's not even hard to implement, but nope, gently caress the guy trying to fix his poo poo hisself. This is likely done from a liability perspective. If Joe Dingus blows his poo poo up he's likely gonna blame the manufacturer for his mistake. This is also not new at all. Laptops and dealer servicing are the modern equivalent of special sockets, wrenches, and other assorted tools to keep the average individual from digging in places they shouldn't. Software or hardware as a service isn't anything new. The issue comes from integrating one with the other in markets where it's completely unreasonable to do such. Like everything else goin' right now, this is driven by data. Not being able to fix it yourself is a byproduct of the advanced controllers on the machine gathering information and phoning it home. That said, it's all loving bullshit. I'm all for right to repair. If you can't fix it, you don't own it. This applies to a hell of a lot more than just Teslas and John Deeres.
