"Wheeler's Anonymous"

I spent probably 2 hours on TacomaWorld and about 4 hours reading on the Amazon Kindle cloud reader lol. In my defense I really have no work to do

 

Weird... I don't get how it mounts. Looks exactly like the ones that bolt to the U bolt flip plate.

 

The bumps that work without the flip plate have a base that bends up which you drop your ubolts onto where they will rest in the groove and then you'll button them up from the bottom. The Ubolt flip kit version are attached directly to the plate via pre tapped holes in the plate and bump stop base.

 

I just read theirs and your description. I'm a retard.

 

Pipe your web requests through SSH to a server at your house like I do.

Fully bypassed web filters? Suck it.

@oni06 being the traffic cop and having all the passwords makes this too easy.

 

It's late. I'm in the middle of an 18 hour shift -- I have nothing but time to help out. haha

 

I'm seeing $135 for the bumps and $80 for the flip kit. ?

Wanna help a guy with a Wheelers install on his rear springs? I picked up some 3t Husky jack stands.... They weren't tall enough to have either wheel off the ground at full extension. SIGH.

 

Taller jack stands are best but you can also use some cement slabs or some 2x2's cut to fit under the stands you have.

 

Ya sorry, I must be wrong then. I bought so many parts all at once I don't remember/don't want to think about how much they were

 

Having 20+ years of IT experience generally I object to content filtering on several grounds and in no particular order of importance.

1) It wastes the IT departments time blocking sites and making sure its working and that costs time and money that could be spent elsewhere.
2) I don't believe in solving personnel issues with technology. Technology is there to help enhance the business processes and make things more efficient. It is NOT there so managers don't have to do their job. As long as an employee is getting their Job done on time then I don't see what the problem is if they browse facebook, youtube, instagram, check personal email during the work day. If the employee is salary and they get done what they are tasked with sweet. If not then their manager needs to have talk with them. This is more of an issue when it comes to hourly employees. Again if they are getting their work done cool. If they aren't and are constantly going into OT or their work is taking to long to get done then the manager needs to have a chat with them.
3) In K-12 education society in the US puts so much emphasis on "protecting" children rather then teaching them right from wrong. If a kid gets to an "inappropriate" site then parents are outraged at the SCHOOL. Back when I was a student I would get detention/suspension if you brought a dirty magazine to a school. Unfortunately administrators think digital content is somehow different and never realized that they should apply the same punishment if the act was done on purpose.

With that said I am in favor on content monitoring of corporate and education internet usage. Having a record of where employees/students went is important in realizing if there IS a problem in the first place. But again if a manager is constantly asking for the records of everyone in their department then they probably aren't focusing on the real issue.

 

6 ton jack stands from autozone over here. Plenty tall enough and cheap, however to do @YotaGurlIAm 's brakes last night they actually we're about an inch too short haha.

I work for an auotparts company, so when they blocked TW I convinced them TW is an excellent resource to better help our customers. WIN!

 

I'd agree with most of that, but it depends on where you're working. I have a lot of content blockers because I work for a bank, and naturally, they don't want information to get leaked or have to deal with "bad sites" with not computer intelligent people going and downloading or clicking on some stupid link that will lead to viruses/malware/etc...

 

But are you really better helping anyone, Mike?

 

Agreed.

Most of what I have dealt with is content filtering to solve managerial problems. But there are also VERY legitimate security reasons as well. It all depends on the industry you work in.

 

Fucker! YES.
I refer people to this site pretty frequently for how-to's, installs and reviews. I even had a father and son (locals both with 2nd gens) and I tried recruiting them to the Anza trip haha.

 

I think some of the stuff they block here is bull shit, like YouTube. That would definitely fall under the "trying to solve managerial problems" My understanding is everything used to be pretty lienient and then they (Union Bank) merged with MUFG and now east/west coast have to have the same proxy standards and everything. And of course this happened right as I got hired, a few months ago YouTube was accessible.

I guess I did order those K&N filters because of you... I'll let it slide.

 

The modern website ain't even really the primary vector anymore either. I've seen more crypto from half bit email trickery in the last 3mo than I have in YEARS.

And it's nearly always attachments. Go figure browser providers got better and better and helping users not fuck themselves and Micro$hits great products continue to "wow" by doing nothing to HELP users and instead inconvenience the shit out of them.

 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

I would but as it stops my rear axle was firmly on the ground still.... Id rather not have to stack THAT much to get it off the ground.

I'm also looking for a good floor jack... It seems nothing in auto tools gets good reviews anymore.
