    Fuck! Now the St Maxx’s in 285/75 and 315’s are back ordered till 4/8! Absolutely love this tire but that’s cutting it too close to T2S. I gotta find a different tire that’s worth it. Not going with ko2’s or toyo/nitto at’s. Maybe I’ll give the toyo mt’s a shot. Heavy but plenty of grip.

    I think as long as 06 or under, it's a first gen. Unless it's a double cab of course.

    Down the rabbit hole we go. Which double cabs are we talking about though? 04 DCs are different than 05-06 DCs. They use 00-04 Sequoia headlights, non-VVTI, 4-speed, old style cluster, have 4.10 gears.

    All DCs are Ridgelines.
    This has been covered extensively.

    Maybe just stab a hole in the cap, then black RTV the hole back closed.

    Buy some Cooper Rugged Treks

    ...and then tell me how gnarly they off road to add to my mall-crawling street cred.

    Dremel a hole in the third brake light housing and maybe get in the cap that way.

    Weird, I got the only adapter Dewalt had at the time to convert my 18V NiCd to 20V Li and what you see above is what I got. It's OEM.

    I would but they don’t make a big truck size for a Ridgeline, only a tiny 33 for an ac.

    A good day is when a huge icicle falls from the edge of your roof onto the gas meter destroying the advancement of the meter, but still has the wireless reader work such that it always reads the same value stuck in time.

    I haven't had such a good day in 15 years, but I can keep hoping it'll happen again. :D

    I am what I am. :D

    I was going to run 35s but opted out b/c I don't want to do gears and rear discs. I feel like the brakes are pretty close to their limit with the 33s on my truck. *At least for on-roading. **Yes, my drums work and are adjusted.

    I think it looks good on the drivers using the smaller 18v packs like what you pictured, but their impact drivers use the larger DC9096 NiCd packs which have an extra 1" or so of footprint on the front and rear and, well, you see the result in my pic above...

    It just looks jankety. And Dewalt doesn't seem to make a larger adapter for DC9096 packs, or they didn't when I bought my adapter, I checked. Maybe they do now, I'll leave that to the new owner of this driver to decide.

    My parents had that happen to their electric meter. It was over a decade before they had to upgrade the service and the electric company never mentioned it.

    Beautiful! haha - I could never be so lucky.

    I did call the electric company once before because my electric meter was only reading 1/2 of what I typically use and I thought another owner in the adjacent unit have been 'using' my electricity since they were on vacation for the past month and there has been some questionable wiring in the past.

    Turns out the electric meter was slowing down due to age when they came to check it out, so they replaced it. Damn, I screwed myself on that one. :D

    F adapters. Those 18 volt tools are inferior to new ones anyway. Scrap that s entirely. 20v impact is light years better. The variable speed drills are lighter and better. The plastic chuck 20v is as good as premium 18v and barely more than the cost of a battery.

    18v in the recycling bin.

    I think it really all depends on your usage. Am I going to buy any more 18v tools? No. Will I replace them with 20v when they die? Absolutely.

    However my occasional use for the circular/reciprocating saws and hammer drill aren't worth replacing them before they die. I've had 2 adapters for the 6 years that pretty much stay on the saws since that's what I use the most.

    At this point the 18v tools are old enough to drink so I'm not concerned either way :rofl:
