Before I started school, I was learning JavaScript with Treehouse. I actually preferred it (a LOT) over CodeAcademy, even though it wasn't free. My problem with CodeAcademy is that there are multiple ways to handle some of these problems, and your code should be graded on whether or not it...

Very good advice, and I guess it's just me being impatient. I need to realize that this is a process and it will take many individual baby-steps to get there. My girlfriend's sister's boyfriend was a Bio major, he graduated and was under-employed for a few years, and went back for MIS. He...

I agree with you whole-heartedly. I wanted exposure to a little bit of everything, which is why I was particularly drawn to the program that I am in. Since it’s an IT major, it has all of the “hands-on” skills (Systems Administration, Networking, System Analysis and Design), but then since it...

This is my 8-year-old black lab named Shadow. She's about 85lbs. I've had her since she was about a month old, and she's been my hiking / adventure buddy ever since. At one point I raised a baby squirrel and they became good friends - she is a sweetheart! My girlfriend and I lovingly refer...

I'm glad this thread got brought back up. Since you last heard from me, the following has occurred: I left my job as a compliance auditor last year, and enrolled at a local 4-year college, currently pursuing a BS-IT, with a Software Development concentration. This is my second bachelor's...

I actually hate how Flickr (in particular) organizes my pictures. Right now I have them in subdirectories based on the date they were taken / what they are of. I wanted to keep that file structure, so I just batch uploaded everything to a BackBlaze bucket and used a program called Duplicati to...

Found a bullet lodged in the roof when I was re-siding the chimney...

If you go to Alamogordo, definitely check out White Sands. My girlfriend and I went walking there and walked for about 5 minutes in one direction and then turned around..it was so desolate and quiet! Cloudcroft is beautiful too, unfortunately I've never been able to explore the surrounding...

I second the Corolla. I had a '94 Corolla that I bought for $250. It had a bad misfire at the time but after replacing spark plugs, wires, and rotor / cap it ran fantastic. Ended up having to do some non-planned repairs (most notably the gas tank and the shocks, because one shock was...

I hear Yanny and couldn't hear Laurel for the life of me! Weird.

Welcome to the T4R forums! If you have an automatic and want to definitively avoid the "pink milkshake", I would install an external transmission cooler. That way you keep the transmission fluid and the coolant separate. The problem is that the barrier inside the radiator breaks down over...

To really prevent the pink milkshake problem, I would get an external transmission cooler, which will completely separate the coolant and transmission fluid systems. The problem is that the small barrier inside the radiator wears out over time, and that's when the coolant / transmission fluid...

I agree with keeping it as-is. There will be more respect for the mods and hard work that you've put into it among the T4R enthusiasts. Particularly, I'd post it on Pirate4x4, T4R, and possibly Yota-Tech. When I was looking for my 3rd gen, I ended up finding one on Yota-Tech and there was a...

Hey, they've held up just fine, although I've got to admit I haven't been offroading as hard / as much as I intended to, so I may not be the best case study.

Mine's mounted to the windshield, above the rear-view mirror. Right up against the headliner, basically. It's positioned so that I can't even see the dash cam when I'm sitting in the car, because it's blocked by the rear view mirror. It makes an audible sound when the car starts up, that lets...
