    Just look at the build thread
    Suggestions on a good AT tire? Not looking for anything more than a load rating. KO2s are in the lead now but I'm open to other suggestions.

    Not a bad field at all to go into. I do hvac and some of my classes would transfer for that.

    See im currently working shutdowns and outages at power plants as a structural welder. Been doing it for about 8 months now. And its a fun job. I just am not wanting to move around states at a time and constantly looking for work. So I'd actually like to become an employee at a power plant rather than a contractor. Hence why I was looking into industrial maintenance.

    Just trying to get some insight if anyone has any thats in that field of work directly.

    Looked at a 2016 Tacoma today. Was actually pretty awesome. I recommend anyone that hates on it to actually drive it. Too rich for my blood though. Did receive a really good deal on a left over 2015 :spy:

    We currently contract our in-house maintenance to Infinity Maintenanace...I think we are the only site where they do that. Infinity mostly does construction (aka Turnarounds and projects). Performance is good but they are more into SD/TA as well. You probably should look at Zachry and Jacobs. I think they both do maintenance.

    I should warn you that the hourly rate is usually a little less for maintenance since you aren't being paid to move around and follow the work.

    I looked at one to they aren't bad. They wanted my truck really bad for since it only has 45xxx miles and it's a 2012 model. I just can't part with it.

    I'd go see one. But I'm not sure if I want to deal with a salesman talking to me.

    Trade the WRX in for a 2016. Then drive it over to the VW dealership for a TDI trade in. :D
