Good to see that the time away from Square D you came back more clear and can start with a fresh mind

ok, time for another installment of Is It Me?
So as the weather up in my area improves thus does the reason for everybody at their uncle to "Head North" ....now not only does this phrase enrage me the actuality of it is even worse. The amount of traffic caused by these weekend warriors is appalling. Going north.. headed up north, is unreal... never does anyone say a destination. its always to sit around and drink. do that stuff at home. i also get very angry with the new hampshire boarder jumpers. They live in new hampshire and all commute to work in mass. it adds so much traffic. going to and coming home for me. they all say its cheaper up there. right...right. i have had lengthy talks and broke down the costs they feel the are getting ahead. between fuel cost and property tax they pay along with loss time in gridlock they are no further along. they do add a nightmare of highway congestion. my feeling is "live in mass, work in mass, live in NH stay the heck up there. Is it me and my area or does this happen to guys elsewhere?

i was thinking you would most certainly want to be able to change a tire with speed. not safe to be out there exposed for any length of time giving someone time to do not nice thing. a extension rod that couples on to extend past the rack like a ratchet extension that can accept either a hand crank or slam a cordless drill on it with be best of both worlds. have a little tall thin sleeve with a cap on the side of the rack to house the extension pieces to eliminate the search for them would be best i think

I've often filled the fuel filter up with tranny fluid and it fires right up. This of course after 10 min of cranking cause it didn't keep the rpm after a filter change

Sorry boys I let the day get to me. Normally I walk past that stuff and rant in my own head. Bad place to post it. I forget this a public place. My bad. Won't happen again. Must have been that Burger King food I had, who knows what they put in it

Small tiff today on the site...well not really a tiff more me saying hey!!. Picture this. working in a place in boston with brownstones that start at 4million. ya know for the dr's and such. nospeakatheenglish mason are redoing the brick. I got my van backed in there and the generator going (brand new outta the box for that job) since i had to redo the undrground. Jose and jose b are working away. i come out to see this monkey with the cut off saw slicing a brick down. retard has red brick dust flying everywhere. so i yell out and explain in my best spanish the following....hey what f is wrong wit you! look around..mercedes mercedes audi audi bmw! why no agua?!!! el stupido!!!
Did i mention my window was down and that was nice to have the interior a new color not to mention my brand new genny with dust all over it. so i shut down the genny and say sorry my generator my rules. get some agua ya dumbies.... keep in mind this took about thirty seconds and all he could say was ooooii....those were his words verbatum. so i ask is it me?
then in the same day i had and inspection on another job. happens alot with multiple things going on. i speak to the inspectors prior so they are always cool and they know my work, they just want someone there to let them in. i tell my customer the inspector will be there between 2 and 2:30. must have told and text him 4 times. get a text at 1:30 saying "waiting for inspector" so i reply " well thats good since he's gonna be there between 2and 2:30 like i told ya...silence for a minute....then his text "oh....ok. i reply " gotta read those texts and listen. hope ya got something to do for an hour....so i ask again. Is it me?

Don,
I believe i'm in the right section here so i was thinking about having a spot where questions can be answered. I figure that we a great bunch of true experts and liscensed guys in their own chosen fields and professions. i'd like to put knowledge out there for people to call on. I can advise on whats legal and covered by my code to help someone make their project go more smoothly and prevent any un wanted electrical mishaps. I also can field just about any question with regards to troubleshooting(which is my true favorite thing to tackle) a problem anyone may have. i can also advise on materials and the proper installation of said things. I so much knowledge i was so blessed to have gained( and still to this day from my mentor) that i felt compelled to offer to you guys. I'd like see plumbers and the like. i Also carry my construction supervisor ticket and have a brother thats a plumber a father who still has the auto shop and a brother in law in HVAC. This gives all the more ability to help anyone here that wants needs it. I am more than happy to help

so not a reliable power plant and a good body and frame that's hard to come across without spending alot. ( hmm sounds like my dating life in my early twenties lol). so id say its dodge 12v crew or bust.
Don i was thinking I'd be looking to buy another rig in a few years once the girls learn how to drive my 07 crew. they're 2 1/2 and 11 months so ya know a few years ...

« on: July 05, 2015, 05:38:24 PM »

plus did chevy put out diesel that was mechanical? the old 6.5 detroit? i bet it would waay easier to get a square d crew
24
« on: July 04, 2015, 05:13:37 PM »
square d is (i hate say it and offend the chebby gods) a far superior machine and seems alot more versitile ... ugh my spelling today. will you make this your primary? i think after the SAS conversion starts on combat max and your driving D alot you'll find it suits you better. maybe find another square d perhaps a extended or crew and repeat process?
25
« on: July 03, 2015, 08:35:12 PM »

some days ya next to get some minor runaround work done and regroup and then be able refocus with an organized mind and plan of attack. i do this often when i find that i cant move without tripping over tools and stock. i teach this to my guys and remind them we work like gentleman and its show in our work.
31
« on: June 29, 2015, 07:48:56 PM »
i agree don, i think the motor and trans maybe should be taken out and weighed and then adjust the front leaf spring count to have a better then flat leaf spring stance. maybe then revisit the shocks and perhaps a methanol injection. never be pushed when its your money on the line BIG D

he'll get over in a while. having girls some how took the sharpness from attitude and yet sharpened my edge in other ways. I wouldn't have any other way. I seem to take things a bit slower now but that can be said for when you have children regardless. Point being i'm glad to go to work and happier to come home. Its nice to have you guys to share the same feelings with, coming home to kids that run and hug you. Enjoy life gentlemen and lets FIRE IT UP

i'm not sure i'm in love with the jack on the side....perhaps when its painted OD or blitz black. still my thoughts are onpossibly now creating a hang up hazard and a blind spot. not to mention forgetting its on there as you squeeze the nose through and gets snagged causing untold damage or just stopping the SD dead and testing your seat belt

« on: June 15, 2015, 10:33:39 PM »
how about both? say a tailgate that looks and drops down normal has a set of rails that line up with a corresponding pair in the bed. slide out the heater unit and or your gun torrent with a shield.
36
« on: June 15, 2015, 09:53:40 PM »
better not sit on that tailgate with only a dollar bills clearance. Any flex and it may hit it or no? looking awesome though
37
« on: June 15, 2015, 09:39:05 PM »

« on: May 27, 2015, 08:57:30 PM »
don, that is the most intense bumper i've seen short of a russian dreadknot class train. you remember the original cow catcher square d came with? can you post side by side pics?
42
« on: May 15, 2015, 08:48:13 PM »
well put ;)
43
« on: May 15, 2015, 08:03:01 PM »
don, the bumper is absolutely awesome. i have a small concern though, the clearance to the fender is a lil tight for my liking. just a thought on body flex and roll. i know it should all move as unit but still i wouldn't want that to become an issue
44
« on: May 10, 2015, 09:01:57 PM »
i might try 3/8 plate. I've seen qauter inch plate take a good hit from a tree and bend a bit. nothing drives me more crazy then something not straight

« on: May 10, 2015, 08:42:15 PM »
