    Thank you, well said.
    Unless your in a union its the same for California. Theres is some laws that protects against ada,fmla ,and ect but most states if your not protected by a union contract they have the right to fire for no reason.

    If you came to work everyday and acted like and ass that would be why they fired you, not your PTSD even if thats the reason for your anger... same thing if you came if 5 minutes late every day, those would be considered "good" reasons. You cant use your PTSD as an excuse, its an illness and needs to be treated and frankly if you're unwilling to talk about it with a shrink or whoever you are as much to blame as anyone for not appropriately dealing with your own personal problem regardless of where they originated.

    As for your buddy, lets think about this for a minute. He is ex-mil looking for a job, but his mil career left him with a stress related mental disorder and now he wants to go and take on another equally if not more stressful job? Yea that makes great sense, lets take a guy who is already stressed and put him in a position where he is going to be forced to make stressful life or death decisions at the drop of a hat... time to consider another career route IMHO

    It’s an example of what happens at most places. Because today’s standard hiring process is for employers to search you on Facebook, linked-in, Instagram and any other social media they can think of.
    And if they find anything they don’t like they use it as a tally against you.

    And when your now ex wife hires a PI against you so she can win custody of the kids they look for the same thing.

    I’ve seen these things happen
    The guy I am staying with right now in La Mirada is going through exactly that custody issue and that vile woman is looking for every single stone she can to throw against him.

    And as I said
    If my view is wrong the only thing that happens is I give that person a little extra privacy.

    I have had a ton of issues with my truck
    No arguing there
    My fault or shitty turd gen is irrelevant.
    I am doing my best to fix the truck and upgrade it to the best of my knowledge.


    A handful of you guys in here advised that doing a short course set up was a waste of time and money and that a should do a traditional link set up.

    My fab guy wants 3k for his traditional links
    So if I want to follow the advice given here I would have to find links that are cheaper that work.

    Yes
    I’ve changed my mind a lot
    But I’m at the position where that’s still an option.
    No cutting has started on my truck, no parts have been prepped or made aside from the rear end itself at camburg and we haven’t even drawn up initial designs for the bedcage or frame work aside from the decision to notch the frame for the rear end

    If anyone has hurt feels I will blanket apologize.

    Can we move on now?

    So

    What links for a traditional set up fit a double cab short bed?

    I hear from the post above that’s a bit of a problem to fit?

    Again
    I agree
    But your average infantrymen is only qualified to do police work or private contracting based on job experience.

    I am trying to illustrate loose examples but I guess I’m missing my aim, I guess I’ll stop trying



    Hey guys
    I’m a mega mall crawler
    I only drive to the mall to slay all the 450 pound whale pussy
    But I want a sweet truck that is super functional for all the dunes I don’t live near



    So
    What links work for my truck?

    Doesnt his being a double cab short or long bed become irrelevant when he back halves the truck?

    Or does it still mean his links would work the same for me?

    I'm sorry but you just seem like one of those walking pity parties that just wants everything handed to you because you served. Guess what man, you made an incredible decision to join the military, one that a lot of us (myself included) didn't have the balls to do when we were 18, but that time has passed and now its time to sack up and live with your decision. You are talking like these were things you didn't know were a possibility before you enlisted and I'm sorry but this is the biggest crock of shit you have posted all night. Only suited for a PMC or LEO job? I'm sorry but have you heard of the fucking GI Bill? Its free college so if you're not happy with your skills or qualifications then go and better yourself and learn some new ones on Uncle Sams dime and go get fucking paid. Simple as that.

    At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you really were catfishing all of us...

    Edit: Im not disrespecting your or anyones service at all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for our country but quit making excuses.

    Any links will work for you if you know what you're doing. Have your fabricator figure this shit out, build some custom ones, or take it to someone that knows what they're doing. I do truly respect your service and thank you for it, but my god man, get your truck to a competent shop, drop your truck off and show us pictures of its use when it is done.

    It’s a dcsb and he stated that the axle ended up within 1/8” of stock location so no shouldn’t matter.
