Just bought one to try on a quick 1 day this weekend. Wondered what yalls thoughts are regarding their reliability and effectiveness if you use them in the field.

I always bring a backup filtering method, so ill be good to test it.

Im not a fast runner, so i gave up on time, but i can go the distance!

Replaced conpressor, condenser with parallel flow one from CSF performance. Replaced cooling pipe A and B because a screw snapped in the old drier connected to B and A was cheap so why nor. Replaced Drier. Replaced expansion Valve, Replaced Binary Pressure switch, Replaced Evaporator, which was the core or only cause of my AC leak.

Charged with 21-22oz of R-134a, total system PAG oil should be ~130CC.

Blows cold now, Hurray!

I take good care of my boots, and to be honest if you take care of them the uppers are pretty bullet proof.

The original soles are pretty dog-water, so when they wore (and put me in a bad situation hiking due to lack of traction) I swapped them with a set of Vibram ones. Its been great!

I am pursuing a career in wildlife, so these boots have been submerged and drenched in water, covered in dust, dirt and rough weeds from herbicide work, and theyre tanks. Would recommend them to anyone, just know the outsole will wear out quickly, but wasnt too hard to DIY.

Wish I had better pictures, but when i actually got a short look at the fire it seemed to be a creeping fire across some agriculture land. Seemed low intensity and fairly controlled, and it will probably be put out soon.

Client has these large windows that have these vertical lines on them. Ive been freelancing for 4 or 5 years and ive never seen this. Its not what id expect for a broken seal, and the client suspects it is an issue with some sort of plastic film.

Any ideas? Im leaning towards a film issue but genuinely have no idea. Could it be markings left by adhesive thay are sun-etched?

Hiked from Elk Summit trying to get to Issac Lake, was blocked by a fell tree and had to turn back. If anyone has hiked out this way let me know! Its hard to know if there's a good spot to camp there. I posted a few 360 photos that will populate google street view soon

Anyways, anyone know what these white flowers are?

2004 Toyota Tacoma V6 I can replace the pipe fitting with the old drier but its 80$

Some fun graphics from the Minted NY folks for their summer collection. A bunch of this sold out before so posting for visibility! Haven't tried much of their inline stuff, but looks sick.

So happy I was able to see them! They never play around this area so I was super jazzed when they announced the show! I hope they come back soon.

Their opener Yasmin was also incredible, super skilled and the way she played was super unique!

Didn't get the best pictures, I was trying to keep myself in the mommemt lol

I need the carbs!

I basically STRUGGLED for a week and a half to change the timing belt on my truck. Most parts were seized, some snapped, some I had to replace. I literally had to plan my life around this vehicle I couldnt drive and it was NOT fun. Obstacle after Obstacle until finally it was done.

​

Whoever the previous owner was liked the lift, shocks and asthetics, but didnt give a damn about maintaining the poor thing. Ive picked up the previous owner's slack though.

​

I pray for many miles to come!

Edit: also changed: water pump accessory belts, compressor, tensioner, idler pulley, and probably a few other things im forgetting.

The bolt is firmly seized. Ive tried a torch, ive tried soaking it in PB blaster, and nothing. The issue is I cannot find a single replacement online compatible woth the 2004 v6 tacoma I have. If anyone has any suggestions or a place where I can buy a replacement buckle and adjust bolt, please let me know!

I just finished working on my timing belt and its so frustrating to have to wait to use my car because of this!
