Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Looks like you won't have a traction bar for a while. Go go axle wrap!

 

It's the tech at the shop, not the shop. I have one local NTB that has a couple gray hairs working in the back. They're the only ones that can actually align the truck to the numbers I give them.

 

All of my ruffstuff components for the traction bar showed up today, so technically I could get started, but I think that might be a bit of a stretch. I'll go ahead and get my sliders back on and call it good till after this weekend.

 

That is true. This is my 2nd firestone store to get it align. Still have that 12k mile warranty but it suck since its time consuming. Going to change out my lift soon so still going to need that alignment. Hopefully my next firestone tech know what he is doing lol I do have a aftermarket UCA so thats not the issue.

 

Try a speed shop. Most of these places don't know how to adjust aftermarket camber/ uca parts.

 

What shop did you go to in Bellaire? Still have to go there for my z

 

Like a mom and pop shop? Thats what I am thinking if my next alignment is off again. Just need a good one around HK mall.

 

I did a mom and pop shop and had bad results with it.

But that was my experience, so you never know until you just go and they give you the numbers.

 

That's the asian in you talking.
I was talking about the performance shops

 

Gotta love driving to campus and getting to my lab and finding out it was pointless and leave 5 minutes after getting there

 

College life! Go find a bar

 

oh no :[
i hope they find him..
look at his adorable bowtie..

 

Maybe. He said it depends what kinds of connections I make while working and if people like my work ethic

I could. Hell, I could pay taco off and since I live at home I'd be debt free so if I couldn't find a job, it wouldn't be a major major thing

I'd make enough money to live a few months of unemployment. I've been hunting for a while cause I have no experience in the fields I been applying for. This is my first chance to get experience in it.

 

I'd go for it if I was in your position. If I did the math right (assuming 1.5x pay after 40 hours), that's right at $10,000 pretax in 6 weeks. And you'll pretty much be too busy to spend any of the money.

 

Same math I got. I think Ima do it. I'm going and ain't got any kids or real commitments. No risk = no reward, right ?

 

If it's anything like our shutdowns, be prepared to burn more 7018 than you've ever seen in your life.

 

This!

Would you be paid as a contractor or as an employee? If an employee, OT pay will get you taxed at a nasty rate and you won't get that back until tax return time. Just something to keep in mind as you run the numbers.
