He is snack size

 

That dude is definitely wearing a diaper

 

i regret life. i should of bouight a ford. yall are harsh



but then again i'd be walking alot more.. fuck that. carry on

 

He doesn't even need to take a week off. Hell, fly out and then rent a one way setup and haul it home. 2-3 days max. Bring along a buddy and drive straight thru, back even sooner. Done.

 

Think he said uhal to expensive. He wants it moved for pennys

 

$1000 plus gas and whatever you need to flat tow and someone meet me in Roseville

 

I make about half as much since going on my own working from home as a mechanic. But my happiness is up 1,000%. I do food delivery or detailing cars on my days off. I do mostly lift kits, and I choose the work that I want or do not want. Some jobs are not worth the squeeze.

 

my goal is my own shop. eventually. right now thats not an easy task. The market out here also lends itself more to repairs than modifications. but eventually i'll make the move. for now. the pay and the training makes it worth it.. plus the $2000 a year in tool funds from the employer is making it not soo bad.


its just getting time off for more than a couple days thats utter hell.

 

Interesting... watched the whole thing and I enjoyed it but he did a few things wrong.


Biggest problem was using a ryobi

 

No finished product?


Hr didn't finish it in 2 days

 

Maybe it's where I live, but ALL my work is Tacomas and 4runners. I'm booked a week out. Mostly lift kits, but I also do maintenance/mechanic work. I take on anything except for big jobs like engine rebuilds. 99% of the jobs I do are in and out the same day.

Most folks would rather take their money to a well reviewed independent guy, who charges half the price, than get hosed by the dealer.

 

How would you recommend getting started (marketing wise) if someone wanted to do this as a side hustle?

 

Make a thread on tacomaworld! Mine has kind of blown up and I get tons of referrals and repeat customers. As long as you are charging less than the big stores and giving good service. The work will pour in.

What’s in Roseville? I can bring the frame to Roseville… it’s not far from Sacramento.

 

Fire Truck.. Cool.

 

Yall are too nice. That thing would be in the scrap yard by now if it were mine.

 

Not half bad looking.

 

Morning lt crew, back at friday again

 

Somebody should buy that and donate it to the Land Cruiser Museum in SLC. It's a new/old vehicle.

 

I think I saw a 200 rolling across it at the end. Sometimes these things look worse on film than in real. I'm so heavy that I wouldn't flip up.
