This was somewhat of a plot point in a season of Discovery.

No I wish with how often I buy from them. I just love to share good valued things with others since we’re typically inundated with companies trying to fleece us from all directions.

Yeah you can absolutely just take it there to fix the exhaust issue. They’re more setup for that type of work so it’ll probably be cheaper too.

If your underbody is all rusty then you very well may need all this stuff done, which is super unfortunate as these vehicles are otherwise some of the most reliable out there.

If you can take care of some of this on your own, you can find high quality OE or OE equivalent parts on RockAuto alongside the cheap stuff you’d find at Autozone (what they’re referring to). It’s nice as they break stuff out into “cheap” (economy) and “quality” (daily driver/premium) parts and all the prices are still excellent. I’ve bought numerous Motorcraft and Toyota branded parts for our vehicles from them.

Lmao I’ve interacted with plenty of hexbear users but this comment takes the cake as one of the most unhinged, off the wall comments I’ve ever read.

Congrats for being on lemmy for years, but that has nothing to do with anything said here, nor does pronoun preference.

It’s no wonder you all need to travel in packs. Without your fellow cult-like cosplayers manipulating the discussion with your blatant falsehoods and fabrications, you’d find zero support and be all alone and on display as the charlatans that you are.

Some of those seem like insane repairs. Leaf spring replacement? Steering rack replacement? Do you live in the rust belt by chance? If not, I don’t see why these would need any work unless they’ve been physically damaged in a crash or something.

Is your engine a 4.7L V8? If not, you have a timing chain that shouldn’t ever need to be replaced. The 4.7L was the only engine that had a timing belt on the Tundra in 2007, which do need to be replaced since they can easily wear out.

A lot of the other parts seem like reasonable items to repair, but their prices are crazy high.

$15 per spark plug plus labor? I just did my spark plugs and think I paid $5 each for OEM quality iridium plugs from RockAuto.

Front struts only need to be replaced if you notice that they’re leaking.

An alignment is needed only if replacing suspension components or you notice uneven tire wear or the vehicle pulling to the left/right.

Exhaust - $700 to clamp (!) a small section of pipe seems incredibly steep

Wheel bearing and struts: prices for these parts are about double what you can buy OEM quality parts for on your own.

What repairs are needed on a Toyota with under 100k miles and who is performing the work? This sounds like a dealership service department trying to push you into buying a new car. I just rolled over 200k on my Camry and haven’t needed any repairs outside of normal maintenance with fluid changes, brakes, and the like.

Everyone You Disagree With Is A Bot/NPC

Nah, just the accounts that come out of nowhere to post irrelevant nonsense that has nothing to do with the discussion.

Jordan Peterson already wore out that gimmick.

I don’t follow propagandists such as him, but you must be a big fan to be so familiar with him, which is entirely unsurprising to me as your entire instance appears to be 4chan users doing a poor job of cosplaying as leftists.

Bad bot. You don’t even understand the context of the discussion here.

Looks like they sell them on Amazon and some .UK site but I only see them for $65

This is like two stumbling drunk parents arguing over who’s better to drive everyone home and telling the kids “shut up you’re not helping!” when they suggest taking a cab.

The one comment that unites both liberals and conservatives in their hatred of the left.

My only gripe with this is with anime like Bleach. Each episode is 3 minutes of recap, 12 minutes of actual show, and 5 minutes of credits and the outro scenes that have nothing to do with the story. It’s somewhat infuriating to watch a recap of something that happened 10 minutes ago 4-5 times an hour.

Apart from that I don’t mind them as there is so much content out there and many shows are doing weekly releases, making it easy to forget details.

Murder She Wrote was made with old people as the target demographic and old people have terrible memories. I imagine this greatly cuts down on the “Who is that person?” “Where is she driving to?” “When are they going to catch the killer?” type questions one generally hears when watching an episode of anything for the first time with their elderly parents.

Or possibly the viewers have more going on in their lives than focusing on one TV show.

I think it’s true because the most miserable and shitty people seem to be the ones who live to be 100. People like Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger

Your Android suggestion will only block ads in your browser. Something like AdGuard or PiHole will also block them everywhere else on the device.

Ad Guard and PiHole won’t block youtube ads because they’re DNS based and youtube ads come from the same DNS as the videos do. I bought a lifetime AdGuard subscription and put it on all our devices and it works well everywhere except Youtube. For that I just use Firefox and UBlock origin to watch videos on my phone and PC. I’ve never been a fan of watching YT on my TV or anything so this works fine for me.

Looks like he just got home from his job in insurance sales.

They’re talking about having hooks put in their back and being suspended in the air from them.
