    Woman forced to sell her dream car after paying $40k in interest over 3 years

    I thought banks would usually lend 4x income on a house (I know there are a lot of other factors).

    Woman forced to sell her dream car after paying $40k in interest over 3 years

    I have that same 2017 payment frame of mind that I struggle to escape.

    Design and fabrication chat

    At risk of doubling down on my last error, I was trying to come up with a case as to how this load scenario isn’t the same as what the step/platform is. Best I can think this is actually worse (not in magnitude, that is obvious, but rather direction). With this I know you weren’t suggesting...

    Reread. Maybe had one too many tonight. You would be correct in your assessment - at least prior to this comment.

    While I understand the why a far larger span is worse, is the top step not doing the exact same thing as your post on the last page hence rendering cross supports less necessary? We could run simulation based on load but I’d guess it’s unnecessary.

    What if it was just an upper platform braced like this? (Side profile)

    Boots

    I have those but been rocking the Moab Speed's for everyday wear. Significant difference in comfort from regular shoes I had been buying.

    I am certainly leaning that way but would reserve judgement to driving one. Simplicity of not having it is nice. MPG and generator could also be nice. Warranty Warranty Warranty is my only plan either way.

    Powerboost is hybrid version of the 3.5, hence the increase. Regular is probably similar to your experience. I've come to the reality due to some life changes that I won't be towing anything more than once or twice a year and never more than 8,000lbs so no need to keep my Duramax (though I may...

    Shouldn't have talked about it.... Said 6 speed is having issues. Also funny I am considering picking up a 1-2 year old 3.5 Ecoboost. Anyone have thoughts on the Powerboost - 7kw generator and 23mpg city sounds cool....

    98 TJ - LS Swapped

    Head unit and camera are simple but there aren’t amazingly perfectly integrated solutions for the camera. AC could be a challenge- is it there and not working or has that not been considered yet? Tranzilla makes sense - do you have a cost on that unit?

    2003 - 2009 Toyota 4Runner (N210 4th Generation) opinions?

    That is unfortunate. I’m really enjoying my ‘07, so much I’m contemplating a 2020-2023 (or a 06-09 4.7 V8🤔)
