Someone has offered me a 1990 Mitsubishi Montero for around $1000 because he needs quick cash. Normally a good guy, I think it has around 240k on it, with a new motor at 200k but original tranny. 3.0 V6, looks like the same V6 used in the Plymouth Acclaim.

I've been looking for a beater SUV. How crazy am I?

Its a Mitsubishi so it could last for ever or poo poo itself in 10 miles....

Do it for 750.

To further drive this home, the WJ actually uses 3/4" lugs and you never realized it because they're that close :v:

Almost all modernish jeeps use 3/4" lugs w/ 1/2-20 UNF threads.

The difference is literally 0.05mm or 2 thousandths of an inch.

Ha, really? I was even Googling it the other day when I rotated the tires and found someone raging that NO IT'S 19MM NOT 3/4" YOU'LL RUIN YOUR LUGS :supaburn:.

It would make more sense to have a standard hex on standard threads, though :downs:

Even if they were right, I'm sure that extra .05 mm will make the difference between working right and rounding off the lug.

Screwdriver, but skip the vodka and OJ if you're wanting to sip; get a bottle of Cocchi Americano (shouldn't be more than 20 bucks) and mix with soda. It is loving delicious and a lot classier than the two sorority girl drinks you mentioned.

My grandmother taught me how to make that :v:

A dozen lemons all juiced and ground up with a hand grinder, a pound of sugar, a quart of water and a quart and a half of moonshine. Let it all sit for a few hours, then squeeze everything through a cheesecloth to strain out the lemon bits.

It's delicious and it will seriously gently caress you up.

Edit: She wouldn't use the un-aged corn whiskey you can actually buy in a liquor store. She knew a guy up in the mountains with a still and bought her moonshine in unmarked mason jars.

A lot of "girly drinks" have a lot more alcohol than manly drinks too.

Don't judge me for drinking Four Loco, it's 12%, 24oz, and $2.50 a can - basically 4 1/2 - 5 "standard" drinks.. also a lot less calories than drinking, say, a 6 pack of beer

I should probably switch to that. The stuff I drink is half sugar, and doesn't really go well with Paula Deen disease. It's just a pain to buy liquor here after work; in Texas, you can't sell hard liquor after 9pm, and can't sell it at all on Sundays. So I buy the cheapest stuff I can stomach that has a high alcohol content.

Have you tried flashing a new stock image to it? I don't mean one from XDA Developers, but a full image direct from Google (which includes the radio drivers/files). It's possible something is just corrupted somewhere, or has a memory leak, or something.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images will have the info you need. You'll need fastboot and adb, and you'll lose everything on the phone, so back up anything you want to keep first (photos just by copying, apps via Titanium Backup or something similar).

It's no biggie to re-root afterwards if that's your thing. Otherwise, the Moto G is $179 for 8GB, $199 for 16GB, straight from Google. No contract, fully unlocked. It'll be on par with the N4 in terms of the display and camera, but a big upgrade in every other way (if you get the 16GB version anyway, don't bother with the 8GB). They're out of stock right now, probably thanks to the holidays, but hopefully they'll be back in stock soon. Google has already pushed Android 5.0.1 to the Google Play versions.

G+T is a special case drink that can be either manly or girly depending on the person holding it.

The tolerance on a forged .750" hex for aerospace fasteners comes out as something like 18,80 - 19,10. A 19mm versus a .750" nominal socket is going to make no loving difference on a wheel lug.

Gin and tonics are the only mixed drink I enjoy, everything else tastes like sugar or old socks rolled in sugar. I don't mind whiskey or rum but that cloying, corn syrup taste of soda just ruins the flavor. Of course, all falls before a tasty brown ale or saison, preferably with a rare steak or giant fish fry.

e: I gave sugarfree sodas a try but I've gotten used to the taste of neat whiskey by now. Ginger ale isn't a bad mixer though.
