    Yes it does. Now complicate that with tryng to find something different to do it isn't easy. Plenty of jobs out there if you want retail which there's nothing wrong with but just not for me.

    Changing career paths is usually difficult. So many hiring managers only want to look at what you've done in the past, rather than what you want to do, and are capable of doing.

    Good luck, 2 yrs ago I left my job because I was topped out and wasn't happy, I took a shot and applied to the City I live in, next thing u know, my commute now is literally 1 mile. It's the greatest thing ever. This may be an option for you as well.

    Befre this last job I had worked for DOT in my town at a district headquarters as one of the welder/ fabricators until we got laid off. 5 mile commute took 15 minutes. It spoiled me. Less pay working for county or state governtments but there are plenty of bennifits to make up for it.

    That's what made me go to the city, for the benefits, my other job had none and I do make alittle less but like u said, the benefits make up for it

    A thing or two...
    Who cares about a math error on something that's a concept demonstration. It gets the point across on how to measure the angles and what range of angle you should be shooting for.

    I'd put money on it that less than 1% of people watching the video wouldn't catch, care about, or understand the error. Also, if you're going to complain about the math error, what about the fact that the phone measuring the rear pinion angle wasn't flat against the pinion.

    Yeah i was really surprised too. Just have them on the TRD-OR wheels. They must only touch at lock or cornering because theres a small gap when i'm parked, but i can see the rubbing on the UCA. It's all good because i was planning on grabbing BORA wheel spacers anyway.

    Are your wheels 16s or 17s? Idk if that makes the difference... maybe someone could chime in.
    I went as big as I could on stock suspension too after researching on this site. Nxt set is gonna be 33s w/ all nessacary trimming.

    Wheel backspace makes a bigger difference in rubbing the caliper, uca, or even the spindle.

    I'm on the stock TRD-OR aluminum 16" wheels. they have terrible backspacing (+25mm) which is why i'm going to grab some 0.75" BORA wheel spacers

    Exactly. I had 275 S/T Maxx's on my previous 2nd gen tacoma and they were mounted on 1/2" wider wheels, still no rub. However the backspacing was a full inch farther out than these stock TRD-OR's.
