Hey everyone,
I swore that if it happened again I'd post this question. I think all JK owners know exactly what I'm talking about. You unbuckle your seatbelt, hop out the jeep, draw in that breath of fresh air, think about all the amazing things your about to do. Then triumphantly swing the door closed expecting it to punctuate your arrival, only to have that unholy sound of metal on metal on give you that nasty feeling, where the seatbelt hasn't retracted completely and is perfectly placed to be slammed into by the door. Often the door just slowly creeps open again having not been able to reach it's fully closed state. This has happened to me probably 50 times, and it happened to my wife the other day as well...
Has anyone got a clever hack to stop the horror?
So i just started playing a few days ago, and im wondering if there is retractor mods
Inside my loadout, i only can have air lifter mods. is it something you get later on or does it not exist.
im on ps4 btw.
Testing a mechanism for retracting the ribbon cable for the screen.
As im intending to have the screen be flippable into a tablet (or maybe switch?) style mode and using ribbon cable i want some way for the cable to automatically be fed out and retraced as needed.
Im holding it down with a transparent bit of plastic to see if it will work in something approaching the space that will be available when the back is on the screen.
The cable is double up on the back of the screen so it will only need to move half the screen height for the full length of the screen to be fed out, that is about as much as will be needed when flipping the screen to face upwards instead of closing against the keyboard.
As can be seen in the vid this is using two printed flat spiral springs attaching the pi stand offs on the back of the screen, a bit of string routed across pulleys on the top corner stand offs.
To minimize wear on the ribbon and string there is a printed part consisting of a hollow cylinder with end stops to keep the ribbon in place on it.
Pics of the test print for the screen mount+hinge+flip.
The batteries and ribbon cables arrived the other day so now im just waiting for the power pcb to be able to try finalizing the body of the pitop.
I have bluetooth keyboard and mouse under a keyboard tray. When I need to recharge them I pull a usbc cord across the top of my desk to charge. I'm wondering if I can use a retractor under my desk for this. Though I can't seem to find retractors that don't come with the cord itself. Any suggestions?
Does anyone make a locking zinger?
I keep my hemostats on a zinger, but I don't like having to constantly fight against it trying to retract.
Seatbelts lock when you pull them out in their entirety, has that technology made its way to any fly fishing zingers yet?

i got my braces around 11am and they used the nola retractor thing did but it hurt your gums because the tounge peice was touching your gums
Long story short, we're in Europe with our American infant car seat, without the base and was trying to secure it using the ALR. After some reading it appears ALR is not present in cars in Europe and we should have brought the base to secure it with Isofix or use a car seat adapted for European market. We'll use the locking clip for the remainder of your stay.
However, I am originally from Europe (Switzerland) and I remember that sometimes my brother and I managed to unintentionally engage this seatbelt lock in the rear seats. I remember the clicliclic sound and the seatbelt not giving some slack. Are there some make that have this system in Europe anyways? Was it present at some point in the past and they stopped it in Europe? Is it present but there's an other way to engage it? I am starting to get crazy and wonder if I was dreaming...
I really cringe at these operations and I’m too scared to google images any surgeries photos. Text explanations plz 🙏
I was just reading the RACER article about the pit road crashes at the 500 this year. The gist of the article was that some teams may have been excessively retracting the pads to prevent any friction between the pad and the brake disc. That makes sense to me, but what I am hoping someone can explain is: if the pads can be retracted to the point that they are not touching but still very very close to the disc, what is the benefit of going any further? I cant imagine it would be an aero advantage because the pads and discs are always behind the wheel. Obviously I am missing something because if it wasn't effective, they wouldn't do it.
