Long Travel BS Thread

Im on my phone so i dont see links to IG. Nor do i care to follow you on IG. I dont really IG.
Your here posting a ton of shit daily an no pics. Post some fucking pics. Its not hard and you post so much here , i know you have time to do so.
But seriously, you dont seem to know what you want.
How is it that hard to just pick a build and go for it. Your not even doing any of the work, your paying a shop to do it. And as far as i can tell you shipped your truck hundreds of miles to a shop to do so. And now your changing your mind on the build.If i was your builder i would fucking hate you, as your that guy that dosnt know what he wants but thinks hes the shit.
I really dont see how any of this makes any sence to anyone. But like i said before please , please show some pics. Im not going to look at your so called ig. As you are all over the place. Im sure your truck will be great someday but i will never know as you dont post pics here.

 

If you're building a show truck thats fine dude because thats what it looks like... its not my money but don't you at least want to enjoy the truck once or twice?

Also, you have 618 followers... I'm pretty sure you're going to stir the pot too much if you post a picture in the dirt... also, things like that are not happening in todays society. Snowflakes get offended when you wont make him and his boyfriend a fucking cake and taking that shit all the way to the SC. Employers are not firing vets because they think they are "unstable" thats ridiculous and not to mention illegal.

Again I commend you for your service and all your efforts and the serious work that you're doing but saying stupid shit like the above is not going to help you accomplish you goals and is frankly entirely untrue.

 

Just because somone doesn't post a bunch of pictures off their truck off road doesn't mean they aren't using it off road.

I rarely get pictures or vids of my trucks because I'm usually having too much fun driving around with my friends to stop all the time to take a pic or a vid.

 

No work has even begun on my truck yet since we are still waiting on parts
So
My builder could give two flying shits right now.
And if you’re so irate about how I do things
Ignore me
It’s a simple thing to do via Tacoma world tools

 

I'm the same way man, I only have a handful of pics and videos of the old truck out for that exact reason or I was always the one taking pics of everyone else's shit but I still have a few pics...

 

It’s a rule I set to go above and beyond so that there were never any risks of problems or anything of that nature.
If you don’t believe guys have issues after seeking help for their problems in the mil world you’re delusional
It happens constantly and often regardless of legality.

California may have a certain set of rules you’re used to but in Kentucky
It’s a hire and fire at will which means you can come to work with a haircut the boss don’t like and you’re fired.


The biggest reason vets chose not to seek help is because of what people will think or say when they find out. It happens all the damn time

Sgt John Doe shot himself and his family wonders why he never asked for help or never saw a doctor.
It’s because most vets are used to the military standard of getting messed with the second you show a sign of weakness or ask for help, let alone for mental health issues.

 

Cough, cough , i call bull shit .
Dude is a fake. I want proof this shits real.
Ig is busted. No pics here.
Whos your fab guy that you shipped a brand new truck to on the west coast, that you dont trust him to build your shit right?
Just curious as a fellow west coast guy. Who your going to blame next for your fails.

 

The military and the VA have perpetuated a stigma that if you ask for help you are either faking or mentally ill,
Proof of such is the bill that was almost passed last year to take firearms away from any vets who had PTSD on their VA disability rating.

99% of the vets you will ever meet want their privacy above and beyond anything

 

Why do you think I owe you anything?
If you don’t like my questions or agree with my build
Put me on ignore

 

What TC kit did you have before?

 

a) ok, I already know that.

b) true

c) not my the case

No, yeah while Pre running, not my fault.

Yeah no need to start with my past rear end issue, those have been fixed.

 

First off, I'm not from Commiefornia... and I'm well aware of the effects of PTSD. My uncle is a Vietnam vet, and for nearly 40 years he refused to talk to anyone about what happened while he was overseas. It slowly ate him up while he wallowed in his sorrow. His PTSD cost him 2 marriages and his kids by way of a severe drinking and gambling habit. In the past 5 years, since seeking legitimate help from his family and the VA, he has made a complete 180* turn around. He's sober, volunteers, found god, spends time with his grand kids. I'm not saying vets have it easy when they rejoin the masses, but you're delusional if you think PTSD has not been accepted as a main stream legitimate mental health issue.

Also its called employment law and you should maybe do some research because you are starting to sound like a bit of a moron. In an at will state like Ky or AZ an employer can fire an employee for no reason or a good reason, but it is illegal to fire for whats deemed a "bad reason" like a disability, retaliation or civil rights issues. The ADA covers mental issues as well as physical disabilities so terminating an employee because of his PTSD would be a violation of the ADA and would open that business up to a massive lawsuit not to mention the huge amount of negative press they would get.

 

I just asked for pics and your answer is just ignore me.
You can type all day long, but is if that hard to post pics?
You cant make up your mind on builds , you just wanf to argue , daily.
Your truck has barely been driven do to your own mistakes.
Please enlighten me with your wisdom.
You have single handed made this thread a pile of shit the last few months. I dont chime in here much as im here to learn and building my truck myself with help from freinds.
You on the other hand push alot of people away that tried to help.
Yet zero proof that your legit. Not just a keboard warrior. Your hero vet thing soundsgreat and i hope its legit. But dude, why must you act like such a dick here, at the samd time you keep changing your mind on building your truck.
I'm just Tring to Figure you out as its hard to follow YOU, as much as i try to not dislike YOU, you really make it tough.
I dont see how you ,with your personality, can help vets in need of compassion.
Good luck!

 

The single best thing I've read on TW for a week.

 

I completely agree with you
I am aware of the law
But you can’t tell me that if you came to work every day and acted like an ass they wouldn’t come up with some bullshit reason to fire you.
Like you came into work one day 5 minutes late.

You’re absolutely correct that wrongful termination is still a thing that allows people to fight back but I see it a lot that people get canned for shit that wasn’t true.

I agree that ptsd is becoming more accepted on a national scale but not enough so that the 25-40yo range vets feel comfortable talking about their issues or are comfortable seeking help

For example I just had a buddy get turned down for a job on the police force because he had listed ptsd on his VA claim (which must be submitted with your hiring package)


If you were 100% correct and nobody was ever given issue for seeking help after the military then what harm does my rule do other than give people extra privacy?

 

What pics would you like sir?
I’ll search my phone real quick since the computer is at home.
I will do my best to accommodate your request

Putting down that you have PTSD while applying for a job in law enforcement...what do you expect ?
