What is a Rasberry PI?

Here is a link where you can learn more about it: Teach, Learn, and Make with Raspberry Pi – Raspberry Pi

I am thinking about security for my unattended rig, as a start. Ham radio operators use them with radios for communications. It also seems like a webcam might be a handy thing to have.

Would you share the cost?

The Pi 4 itself starts at about $30. A case, power adapter, SD card, etc all add a bit to the cost. Expect to spend about $100

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 1 GB RAM

The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the newest Raspberry Pi computer made, and the Pi Foundation knows you can always make a good thing better! And what could make the Pi 4 better than the 3? How ...

I built an entire arcade based on the older Raspberry Pi 2, an old LCD monitor, some car speakers, a cheap chinese audio amp, and some high-quality Hap arcade joystick and button components. The Pi was ~$30 at the time, though I had to buy a WiFi adapter, SD card, and some other bits at the time so again I think I spent about $100 on the Pi + its components.

For the rest of the arcade the joysticks were probably the most expensive component at about $35 a piece. Total was about $500 including the plywood and plexiglass. It'll emulate Nintendo, Sega, Playstation etc but it struggles with anything Nintendo 64, PS3, etc or newer.

1st oil change.

3-4 different fasteners for 2 panels.

Yeah and the horrific cartridge filter.

Cross-post from Stock bumper + Lights thread but.... got the BD6's mounted up on the factory inner-bumper holes (and by got, I mean paid someone with more skills than me). Me gusta so far.

I've tried to get my 2011 LX with 130k miles ready for the winter. Fluid filmed underneath a month or so ago, oil changed, greased all the zerk fittings, changed the front and rear diff and transfer case and am halfway done swapping the plugs but ran out of time to do the passenger side. My stock radiator still has no signs of a crack at all but I check it often as I know that's inevitable.

That I was used to coming from the Tundra.

Jam the little drain nipple on with a 16 oz plastic pop bottle. Very little mess.

Get the BORA ... 0.75" FTW

That's what I have, zero issue with this Bora fitment.

It still sucks coming from a canister filter like the 2UZ

Leveled out the rake by raising the front sensors, also threw on some spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Bit more aggressive than I'd like but can't run 1" with these rims.

That looks "right" to me. Nicely done...

How do you like the rake adjustment. I feel like I am happier with my headlights/view with my factory rake.

 

[TeCKis300]

Looks good. How much rake did you take out of it?

I level by about .5", sensor lifting the front axle 1" and rear axle .5".

Not really a discernable difference between the two besides the looks. AHC adjusts itself on the highway/regular driving so I can't imagine it's as drastic as changing it on the LCs.

Lowered the front brackets completely, didn't touch rears. Think it came out to 1.25"-1.5" higher which leveled it exactly with the back. Also had to play around with the height offset in techstream because the FR was slightly higher after the change. Still need to get alignment to fix camber.

Curious why you say you can’t run 1” spacers. What are you seeing that would not allow a 1” as opposed to 1.25”? Not arguing. Just wondering, since I’ve run .75”

What’s going on there?

Got a new hitch with enough drop to tow my utility trailer level. Went with the Rhino Hitch so that when I don't need it at full-drop it doesn't hang as low.

I’ve heard good things about this particular hitch, I’m curious as to how quiet it is while towing.

 

[BackroadTrail]

Would you share the cost?

Here is a list of the components I used and some are optional. The cost of these parts at the time was $207 excluding any tax or shipping.

I should have a report to share after this weekend. We're moving and I'll be doing a lot of towing.
