    Haha. Those guys would get fired for picking one piece at a time, and the "moderate" speed is a lie. They used to have kick ass insurance benefits, but now that's gone, and there's no reason to work there. At least for me.

    The hourly rate there is good if you're on the right contract. 22/hr. But it's not worth it. There's better paying jobs that won't break your back. I did it as long as I had to, then got the hell outta there.

    I went to hvac school full time for 10 months while working 48 hours a week there... Just to get out. Totally worth it

    You made a comment that you'll ask the dealer next time you go in for an oil change. Start changing the oil yourself, do your own tire rotations, spark plugs. After a while you'll get the hang of everything and start understanding how shit works, its all nuts and bolts. I started by watching youtube videos on how to change oil/ spark plugs and ever since Ive done everything except mount tires. This isn't a job for me either, I just trust myself more than others to do the job correctly, even if its my first time doing it.

    Doing your own suspension is really simple, If you decide to tackle it yourself send me a PM and we can exchange phone numbers in case you get stuck or unsure about something

    Been busy here actually getting planned stuff done now that the weather is somewhat warmer.
    Rear end breather mod. I was being a little OCD on this one so took me a bit longer.
    Replaced weather techs sticker with the TRD sport.
    Last but not least, did the no holes bracket install that @ACEkraut did for my non-skid plate taco. Love it's position and that I can place a LED bar in the lower opening in the future. Kudos to him and the hard work he did to make it so.

    I personally hate this grocery distribution center, last 2 walmart facilities i worked at were general merchandise and had more than vocal orderfilling. Many more options. But they do have a production incentive for throwing a 101 to 130 percent at the gdc. 130 gets me 30 percent of my base pay extra per hour worked. 30 percent of 19.50 gets my over 26 bucks an hour when you add in freezer pay and orderfiller incentive. But either way i agree with breaking my back day in and day out getting old. My goals are management or a gravy job till i find something better, but im only 23 so i have some more years worth of orderfilling left in me. Back on topic now lol

    Oh hell. You're young. You can do it. I quit that biz when I was 35. 43 now, and there's no way I could even think about going back. I laughed when the 50 year old+ new hires walked through the door. There was even a guy with one arm that lasted 2 weeks. No kidding. A 300 pound woman lasted about an hour too. Kroger can't keep help, so they ship them in from Somalia, Ukraine, etc ... They work tax free too.

    Nice... May need to do the same. After sliders and my Pelfreybilt aluminum front, my 887s are letting my 285s rub a little.

    I'd like to add a winch eventually and figure I'd need the 886s then for sure. Did you take a measurement with 887s before you swapped to the 886s?

    Edit: Nevermind, just saw your build and noticed you went with the steel front bumper.

    I did. The 886s gave an extra inch exactly on both sides.

    Keep in mind I have the steel bumper, winch, and steel skids.

    So, I installed a switch for my front LED lights. I wish it was easier to get at the top switches (by fog light). Does anyone know an easy way to get access to wires for the light up switch? This switch lights up with internal lights but I do not know which wires I can connect to. The 2 switches next to it light up, but they have their own harness. Maybe tap into them? Thanks!
