Pre-dented charge pipes? You can tell how thin they are, the 90° has a dent in it already. The nice thick stuff I have been using takes at least a 4" drop for that to happen.
T-Bolt clamps work decent, but as mentioned gotta buy good ones. The OEM BMW hose clamps with rolled threads actually do quite well as they don't strip very easily like the ones with the holes as threads.

Shopping for a new phone sucks.
I don't do social media aside from some instagram, I don't play mobile games, I don't watch movies on my phone, so all I want is a decent basic smartphone.- <=$200
- sub 6" screen
- decent camera
- good long term (a couple of years) durability and updates for inevitable bugs
- not discontinued and therefore already NOS sitting in its box, battery decaying slowly
- not loaded with bloatware and nonremovable apps

I am way too rough on phones to buy anything fancy, so I go for rugged. LG has been treating me well. I had the Stylo line a couple times, but this last phone went with the q7 and I am impressed so far. It has been dropped in a bucket of water, been covered in coolant, hit countless times with the creeper wheels and aside from the one time it fell just right and tossed the screen protector, it's holding up to my abuse. Normally I just get the discontinued or older phone - whatever they have for ~$100, but my son wanted to help me upgrade for Father's day. Still, I wanna say it was only $180 when it came out and is down to $100 now. Because it's water resistant, the battery is non-removable, so it has a water tight slot on the side for the SIM/SD and only qualm so far is a couple times when getting jarred pretty hard the SIM loses contact, but just takes a reboot as a fix.

Haven't really been looking at used phones since I'm going to have to get the battery replaced if it's used, and that means I have to track down an actual new battery and adhesive strip kits (if the construction is anything like my old samsung) or take it to a shop. By the specs it also looks good aside from the lack of an SD card slot, only a few mm larger than my samsung. Most phones on the market now are just so damn huge, I would actually prefer smaller than my S5 but it seems such a thing doesn't exist, at least not without going with shady chinese brands.
also, is it possible to get all of the google trackware out of a pixel or is it one of those situations where they locked the bootloader down hard like my S5 and it's impossible to root?
