Howdy all! Just bought a new to me Hybrid Ford Escape yesterday. I'd like to maintain my MPG as much as possible (I work as a caregiver, VA doesn't pay mileage for the work I do) and the modifications it needs to suit me are pretty minor. Right off the top: Lights. Gonna convert all the lights I can...

Skip the 2008 model years. They are the same under the body as the gen 1 models. They only updated the body panels.

2009 is when you get the full mechanical/drivetrain upgrade, from what I remember

Now this is something I didn't know! Appears your memory is correct though.

Howdy all. Just rolled over a quarter million miles in the 2005 Forester I got in large part thanks to comments on azrael99's "Looking for a compact SUV or AWD vehicle" thread, and I think it's time to retire it. AWD has been nice especially in the rare snow but realistically I'm chasing fuel econom...

Thanks to a corrupted hard drive... replaying F04, no mods, going for "Peace among worlds" ending where Minutemen, BOS and Railroad are all okay with each other and you nuke the Institute, and also shooting for 100%. Looking out for a used copy of Metro: Exodus which I have tempered expectations for...

Check your local WallyWorld for clearance Backpacker's Pantry entrees - mine had 3 two serving pouches for 2.50 per.

Three Backoacker's Pantry 2 serving entrees - they were on clearance for 2.50 per at WalMart.

Oh wow, it's been a minute since I posted here. Replaying FO4, with mods this time. It's just so much nicer when it looks like The War was 200 years ago and not last week. Also deliberately didn't do anything Minuteman related cause I don't want to deal with Preston. May beat the game aligning with ...

The MP5 PDW version did not come out until the 90s 1991, to be specific. But to be fair, in keeping with the "nearly unlimited resources under the umbrella of the DOE and powerful enough to literally open a portal to another dimension" theme of Hawkins Lab, is it unreasonable that they may have dec...

I too have long been a subscriber, and I support the channel through Patreon as well. It's a quality channel that I'd love to see picked up by a network like Discovery. I think Discovery would screw it up. They'd add a bunch of unnecessary drama just for ratings. Personally, I'd rather see a networ...

Mounting hardware, can be $10 total. I can post links when I'm a a computer. If a 5.56 or similar, the Plolytac wil...

Would a tennis racket, affixed to a AR pistol, be considered a brace due to not being designed to shoulder, or a stock due to "redesign" reasons? In all honesty I'll probably just wrap the buffer tube to look like a racket handle for the sake of the joke, but still. Inquiring minds want ZS's educate...

Maybe I should use something that has magnification built in instead of having to mount two separate things? Honestly that decision comes down to what you need and what you're comfortable with. The short list: * Magnifiers as a rule have lower quality glass than scope or RDS, not sure if this is ac...

For what it is worth, Green Tip is supposed to be able to punch through UHMWPE armor pretty well if it has enough velocity. Also, hasn't UHMWPE been phased out by all but the sketchiest of dealers/manufacturers due to how quickly it breaks down under heat and humidity (as in you wear it and it beco...

I have some more money to save and then a 4 to 6 month wait, but I will absolutely post pics. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Sweet. If Photobucket hadn't decided to be a bunch of greedy bastards, I'd have posted pics of the new guns I've bought over the past four years. Time to find a new pho...

T MINUS 25 DAYS 16 HOURS BTW everyone tries to beat the traffic. You either have 5o miss half the event or get stuck. Enjoy the full event, chill until the traffic has disipated. I've seen a partial from Hawaii long ago. Ever since then I've wanted to see a full. I'm planning on it taking forever, b...

T MINUS 26 DAYS 19 HOURS A forecasted one million plus people will be coming to my Oregon to watch the eclipse. The Oregon Office of Emergency Management has issued a bunch of warnings, expecting phone lines to go down, fuel lines to form, and supply chain issues. My plan: I've already gotten a room...

I really wish the 17 M2 would have been successful. A guy at my gun range let me borrow a contender barrel back when it was the new hotness. Stupid accurate. No recoil. Great for small game. I've always wanted a Mk1 Target in 17M2 because why not. Something about bottle necked cartridges in handgun...

Nice buy!!! I've been shopping for a forester (pre-CVT) myself for my residency in Alaska!! How many miles? You get a good deal? Any issues or anything?? 180k miles, $3000 after some interesting bargaining, none save for some neglected hardware (sticky latches, missing interior trim), small road sa...

I realize this is a necro, but I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. Pursuant to the advice here, at the end of January I bought a Forester. Everyone meet Shully, a 2005 Subaru Forester 2.5x!

You used a punch? Lockjaw pliers wrapped with tape are my go to.

I've always wanted one of the Charter (I forget the name) 9mm revolvers that doesn't use moon clips. Why? Reasons.

OT: The only PSA upper I've ever had was a 5.56 Mock Dissy. It had the CL 1/7 FN barrel and shot and ran pretty good. Did the Dissy have a full-length gas tube? No. It was a "Mock" Dissipator...The FSB was mounted at the rifle-length position, but it had a midlength gas block. Like this... http://i...
