Long Travel BS Thread

I completely agree, but in this day and age, social media reigns over all. Instagram alone returns 25% more customer interaction and sales than any other social media outlet. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow if you wanna keep up. I totally get where youre at though @DTFtacoma , not enough hours in the day to get everything done. My boss is here 5am till 8-9pm. He hardly has any time for his own projects.

 

Yes it does, I try my best to keep up though.

I'm wrapping up my current builds then I'm done with any large scale projects because they eat up way too much time.

 

I mean it's the nature of the beast. Social media and online ordering is today's technology, those that can't keep up with it will get left behind. I dont think Amazon is the devil, but I do think, (and myself included in this) that people have been spoiled by free 2 day shipping and when that doesn't happen with any other online orders we get some spoiled brats. I've learned when it comes to truck parts, especially custom stuff, it'll get here when it gets here. My only consolation to that is if I'm quoted a certain time frame on shipped dates, if it's not shipped within a week or two of the date given, I'll get antsy.

My hat's off to Anthony at DTF, I PMed with him for about a week concerning the trans mounts, finally got his PP info to send money, figured it would take a week or two, had trans mounts on my doorstep about 2 maybe 3 days later. Amazon Prime right there.

 

Looking forward to seeing Corey's (forget his new handle) truck done. When will that be flying through the air again??

 

It'll be out this winter

 

same

hopefully

 

Yep - that must have been f'ing loud. I used to work at the school across the street - they should hand out free ear plugs to the kids and staff lol.

 

I do in Wilmington - it's got a cab on it, but not much else - it was in a front ender and I can't remember if there was frame damage. If you're interested I'll call the guy. He's got tools for taking parts off, but I'm not sure if he's properly equipped to take the cab off - he's got the cab listed on CL though. I was buying a trans but he f'd up one of the mounting holes so I passed. Can't remember any major damage though.

 

Would a large scale project be linking your truck!?

 

Anyone have @dirt addiction phone number? Supposed to be meeting up with him today and I pm'd him my wrong info

 

Too smokey for us to fly the chopper on fires....so back to the computer screen
Imagine the shock thing is a 10" bypass and the top thing is a 2.5 airbump

 

running 32 bit Windows 7, don't fucking ask why, and I cannot run fusion 360 on it. maybe on my lap top.

You need a 64 bit processor. They have the requirements online for how much computer power you are going to need.
