    There you have it. People go to extremes to come here to Texas or stay here.

    Just look at the build thread
    I'm on the lookout for a new career opportunity. Looking for something along the lines of mechanical maintenance. Have 4.5 years experience in a plant setting. Experience ranges from running skid steers, fork lifts, wheel loaders, and cranes to performing maintenance on pump systems, conveyor belts, and hydraulic systems. Also have very light welding experience (no certifications). No high voltage electrical experience, thought I'm currently in school for electrical and would be interested in continuing it if schedule would allow me to. If anyone has any leads for me it would be much appreciated!

    I did. I didn't really see anything that I met requirements for. Most of it requires a degree. But there were so many positions listed that I didn't get to all of them.

    From what I've heard with them, experience trumps a degree. I threw my name in the hat for a few things.

    This - huge amounts of this. Knowing someone got me where I am today before I even began to have experience.

    Random question...I'm headed to KS for thanksgiving next week and will be traveling with my family and 2 German shepherds. I'd like to be able to put them in the bed of my truck for the trip to save room in the cab for my wife, daughter and luggage. (For some reason neither of them will ride back there.) It's a 8 hour drive with possible snow and rain...does anyone have a dog box capable of fitting two large dogs or a soft/hard camper topper for a 2012 short bed that I could borrow or rent?? It would be greatly appreciated. I called 4 wheel parts to try and get a Softop but they cannot get it to me until next Friday.

    I know this is a Tacoma forum but I know there's some Jeep fans here so I figured I'd post. If anyone is looking for a second vehicle, a vehicle for your wife, etc, my sister is now working at Don Davis CJD at I-30 and Collins in Arlington. She just started and is looking to sell her first car. She's in the pre-owned building but can sell you brand new vehicles as well. Just ask for Bailey! She'll hook you up!

    That's where I used to do all my Jeep business. Is Clark still the GM over there?
