Likely!


Meanwhile I crunched a 50 hour work week to book almost 90... I’m feeling it. Lol

 

50hrs? I don't think Miguel's ever worked that little in a week haha

I work my 40 and call it good enough, I have enough projects to tie up the rest of the time

 

Usually it’s a 40 hour week for me. But insurance jobs pay too well for me to not stay late

 

Same. Not working OT unless there's a damn good reason. I have better things to do. Like watching paint dry.

 

Yes but a paycheck that’s above 2000 after taxes is awesome.

 

Man, I was talking to her mom and dad about what I shared with you..Ill have way too much extra time from there on out

Fri-Sun off, and depending on schedule, I'll have Mon-Thur after 1pm available to me

Wtf does someone do with too much extra time off after getting used to working a lot

 

Sure, that's nice. But I value my time away from work more.

 

Noice! Plenty of time to get shit done on the 4Runner then!

 

This. Plus I don't earn any extra on OT anyway lol.

I refuse to side to with notion that the more a person works the more successful they are. There's way more to life than working and we already spend most of our time doing that as it is

 

40s n tons

Custom linked rear

 

I just have the crunch to work more to get a certain truck done. Lol

 

It's one of the last fully mechanical engines Cummins makes, the 12 valve that dodge owners lust after is the 6bt .. same platform but 2 extra cylinders.

The 4bt is heavy AF for a 4cyl tho, about 750lbs. If I stupid money I would swap in a Kubota V2403. It's also a mechanical diesel but weighs about 420lbs.

The V2403 has 2.4L with 146ftlbs of torque
while the 4bt has 3.9L with 265ftlbs of torque. however guys are putting 1.9 VW TDIs in jeep wranglers and they are only 1.9L at 150ftlbs of torque so the 4BT is way over kill IMO

 

Spend money.

 

I thought I knew you...I thought we were friends

 

I'll let you in on future plans a little later

 

My dad is basically hiking every day now that he's retired

He's going to start consulting though because he's bored I think lol

 

Watch paint dry?

 

Start working with diesel engines more and you'll understand the hype is overkill

Don't get me wrong, I freaking love em! But after being exposed to the wider range of industrial diesel engines available there's greener pastures my friend

 

But 4BT gets you all the likes

 

So maybe I can start wheeling

Not sure when it starts snowing up there, but there was a ton of snow near the Sierra's in Dec which is around the time the house should be finished.

Should be fun; gonna have to get your ass to come down and bring the family to stay a few days or something.
