  1. Sounds like LS things. How high RPM are we talking? 40 psi sounds about right for 2,000-2,500 rpm, lowish for 3k+ depending on oil type, temp, etc... I don't think that's usually how the oil pressure sender fails, it usually throws an oil pressure light or reads really high.

  2. Having owned a '14 GC limited at the time of our first child's birth, I'd dump that thing asap. The room is laughable, and the ride is probably worse than the Tacoma. One of our least favorite vehicles ever.

    I'd say either

    A. sell the jeep and put the $15k towards the truck and get a trifold tonneau cover for easy cargo space. $430 is a small car payment nowadays.

    B. Sell both and get whatever it is that you both think will fit your family needs.

     

    C. LS swap both the GC and the Tacoma, add Chinese turbos, hit the dessert, and win race wars. Your kid will think you're super cool some day.

  3. Does a 97 4runner fit the bill, or is it too "in" right now? It has a bit of rust, and Plasti dip! This pic is 4 yrs old, she's dirtier now.f56f9107e27cb62a2f3dc07540e786b4.jpg

  4. Follow-up question...I am very busy at the moment...any shop recommendations to have this done. I'm super nervous about letting people work on my vehicles. This will be the first time in probably 10 years I've let someone do anything beyond an oil change or tires. 30 years if you don't count warranty work.
    Lucore.

  5. He probably wants to get out of it so he’s keeping you a low priority until you drop him. Edit: that way it’s on you not him. Contractors are useless anymore always chasing the more profitable job around the corner over fulfilling obligations they’ve already agreed to.
    Could definitely be the case, but honestly this guy is just a complete idiot. Has some carpentry skills, but can't run a business and is completely full of shit.

    The only thing that has kept me from firing him is his friendship with the township inspector (of course, right?). As soon as his last inspection is over, I'm going to demand an itemized bill with materials and hours for his last draw.

  6. FiL has a fanTASTIC mustache. The rest of the project is just OK. ;)
    Hahahaha, he was being goofy in the picture, but his mustache is out of control. He had it really grown out pre pandemic and it drove his wife crazy because when they'd go out to eat around the short north, all of the young hipster guys would compliment it.

     

    You'll probably see him with me at the next CC&C event, I was bummed that I was on lake Erie during the east side meet.

  7. Little more progress, I got the board and batten finished on all 3 sides. Installed a window and man door, and worked on the rocks along the pond. Grass is coming in decently. The deadbeat contractor just has to finish the front metal roof/fascia, and soffit. I've decided that if I catch up to him and his work is holding me up he's fires and I'll finish it. My 71 yr old father in law and I (39), have worked circles around him, working only Saturdays and Sundays.3ea1382b45a98ef5c979c20ac28f59e9.jpgaa9bc7ba9cf634b5b3b5444591e8b590.jpg93377dbc2601593871b977fac1cb7fff.jpg

  8. I am in need of at least one of these mats to finish/match my gym floor. I'll pay current retail and will buy more than one if you need to replace them with something.

    Everyone seems to be out of this pattern.5f70000838bc6e10e0c0c24156af94aa.jpg

  9. That’s what I have in mine and have been pretty happy with it so far. I’m having a garage sale all weekend and have been getting countless compliments and inquiries about it.
    Racedeck? That's what I'm doing in my attached garage. Did you do vented or solid?

    I'm going with epoxy or sealer in the shop.

  10. Things are happening, even if slowly. They got the cement down and finished, overall pretty happy with the finish.

    f8bbf229bea442159ac5d770d1c454e0.jpg I spent a couple evenings getting the grade raked and rocks picked up. Spread seed and straw, it won't be the final, and I'm sure we'll tear some of it up in construction. It feels good to have some finished space though.96732d5fb24c47f4752692d7853077a9.jpg2eae053dbbbeed418ffbb0bc2339a54a.jpg

    I'm going to do a little more rock work along the pond with some smaller stones, but overall it turned out pretty well. I can definitely drive the mower through there.1af3c73a028e7924668f16838cb0bc72.jpg
