Useless things about your day!

so now we have explosisves in the steering wheel, and in the seatbelt...

...drop one in the console for some reason...

and we're letting the .gov track all the movements and locations etc...

... .gov pushes a button anytime they dislike what you are doing and you go pop.

I need to loosen the tinfoil a bit this morning.
:lmao:

It's ******ed that they can't just use a CO2 cartridge and make it serviceable.

First I've heard of exploding seatbelts. but yeah, AI says 1981. Guess I'll just poke my head back in the sand.

The 04 Volvo has pretensioners, so at least twenty years. Probably since the 90s for Volvo.

Happy with the license plate mount, no immediate redesign planned:

Made a UHMW topside filler panel & shoved rubber caps over 6 nuts

One more disassembly left to go, to swap out white nylon washers for black.

Got done today w/ firewall pass-through & under-dash work; fawk under-dash work :mad3:

Happy now though, since the switch panel & blind-spot camera monitor still function :laughing:

Still need to secure the monitor base & clean up its cable, but that's a mañana problem.

Under dash work sucks. I try to get all the tooling/materials layed out on the floorboard then dive in head first and expect to be upside-down with my legs on the seat for minute (I'm a little guy, so not that bad). Never fails, I'll get 3/4 of the way through the prodject "****, now I need P-clamp" (or whatever bull****) Crawl my ass back out.

Agreed. This applies to other vehicle work too.
For under the car I have tool caddy from HF, once under it is often that: uhhh we gonna need that tool, dammit.

For under the hood work, I have a rolling tool tray.
Again often another walk required over to the toolboxes.

But the work gets done, grunting and all :laughing:

Second time in two week show up for work and find the Propane tank cages with the Lock cut open. 23 tanks stolen the Fist time and The took the 8 that was in there last night. Inside of a gated fence and the cut the lock on it. Gas company is not happy both cages a going to have to be replaced due to the Damage.

Time to get a claymore set up.

I was lucky in that opening both supercab doors and putting the driver seat all the way back let me park half an ass cheek on the running board & lay sideways into the truck to get my head under the dash.

My back's fooked enough that I can't do the upside-down in the seat thing any more without semi-crippling myself for at least a week. Glad to be done with it and glad it was something I could still get done, rather than pay some random shop full-ass money (for likely half-ass work :laughing:

)

My 1997 Ford has nothing aside from a seatbelt, that the buckle end fell under the seat years ago.

My 05 Jetta has some **** in the seatbelt. My pup chewed threw them years ago, replacing them would have been $$$.

same thing happened here. IIRC they tracked the burnout-er down and cited him with a hate crime or something like that.

Clown world.

rainbows painted on the street should also be a hate crime.

What do you use the front camera for? Visibility ain’t great out the front of any of the 3/4 tons and up but besides helping to hook up a plow or ball I cant see where it would be useful.

I get it. Your post made me immediately think of the crawler with "doors" that don't open.

You're right, normal rigs are much easier.

Nothing while driving normally - it'll be off while driving on-road. Mostly for tight parking spots + on trail use for self-spotting or seeing what's on the far side of a breakover. I'd done it on our Jeep & found it occasionally useful, so I added it to the F-150 for less than a hundred bucks.

No recording, it's just a monitor.

Sat in the ER for a minute, had to get a cat scan. Resting heart rate was 41bpm. Didn't know I could go that low.

Wait till it's raining... least around here the paint lines are slippery. I've done a decent burnout in a stock Dodge 5500 without meaning to 🤣
