what's your zip? i'll find out how much shipping would be and give you a price.

JT, congrats man! Off the top of my head, a quick way to know what ballpark you should be in on $$, call on a couple of technical recruiting firms in the area and see if they can tell you what the avg intern pay is, or entry level pay for full-time positions for the job you will be doing and preferably the high and low end of the pay scale. then you gotta think of how your gonna sell yourself and why they should pay you top dollar. what makes you more valuable to them than any other intern? what can you do that the avg intern can't? what intangibles do you have? i.e. do you have any other characteristics that you can give specific examples of that make you stand out from your peers? questions like that are what you need to ask yourself, because if you ask for top $, THEY'RE gonna ask you those questions. your resume got you the gig, now you gotta put your sales hat on to get the jack......Jack!

comanche89, how soon do you need them? i plan on having a 4 leaf set available from my 88 4x4 sometime by end of May (right MJeff87 :brows:) after i swap in some MT packs w/the coils etc. Jeff is gonna help me install. Let me know.....

nope, haven't had time to really troubleshoot yet, hopefully this weekend. if i had a dollar for every time i said that though, well, you all know.....

yes, pigtail should be there for you to add a clock. yes, jiggled each wire going in to the clock thinking the same thing, that a wire broke off the circuit board. all good...... Next?

:rotfl2: SupeDub, holy Bat $#!+, that is effin hilarious.......

yep. everything was working fine. check out my first post on how it happened. appreciate any suggestions........

JT, sit tight on that other clock. Hooked up the temp unit you sent me and it isn't the clock. Yours did the same as mine, back light worked but no ticker. I haven't done any other troubleshooting yet. Seems like that would point to an individual wire on the clock harness having gone bad. Thoughts or suggestions anyone?

Yeah, those are impressive ships! When I went on the Majesty it was only 6mos old and the newest biggest cruise ship on the water. 90k tons, 900 feet long, I think the beam was just over 100ft. Unbelievable. And she's a pup compared to the Voyager class. They were buliding the first 3 when I left and shortly after signed on to build another 3. Crazy. You know, you should ask the cruise director if there is any way to get you a tour of the engine room and/or all the inner workings below deck. They probably won't do it for liability reasons, but may be worth a try. I think I told you I became friends with a Norwegian engine room officer and I got the full on tour of all the workings of the ship. Very cool! And just when you tell yourself at poolside on your day at sea that you need to cut yourself off on the booze until dinner, go ahead and order one more as a toast to the club LOL!

Cool! Yeah I think I told you I worked for RCCL before, on the Majesty of the Seas and the old Sun Viking. Cozumel was probably my favorite stop also. We found this place that had an outdoor grill under a Tiki Hut and you could get a huge plate of fresh grilled fajitas for about $4. Then we'd go hit the sports bar and place some bets on football, then we'd rent a Jeep and go down to the end of th Island to a private beach all the cruise employees found. A group of us would rent a Waverunner for the whole day for about $10/person, and they had Dos Equis for $1/bottle! And to think, I was actually getting paid while doing all of that! Now of course, every couple of weeks or so we'd go to Carlos and Charlies and get hammered on buckets of Sol hand grenades (7oz bottles). I recall doing a 5 bottle beer bong in there with the whole crowd cheering me on. Of course half the crowd was our own passengers! Man I loved that place. But I digress in a sea of drunken memories....... Anyway, I used to do the exact run you're going on. What ship does that run now? So as far as your ports, I may have a little to offer, but is has been awhile (a lot longer than it feels) so obviously some things have probably changed. After your drunken day at sea on the way to Aruba, you will find stunningly white beaches and that crystal clear blue water of the Carribean. If/when you just hang out at the beach, you may get a voucher to go to the Ritz-Carlton (I think it's a Ritz) and use their pool and beach area. Either way, a great place to set up at the beach w/a super nice pool and good food. There was a restaurant we used to get dinner at that fired up a band around 9pm. The best part about Aruba is that because you are so close to Curacao, you won't leave port until 12-1am. So, you can party hard in town at night vs. having to be back at the ship at 5pm like normal. Curacao was a weird stop for me. The architecture and pastel colors of the buildings is interesting, but that keeps your attention for about 5 mins. Basically, I usually was asleep half the day we were there partly from being hungover and partly because we never found a really fun spot to hit while in port. But again, that may have changed since my days. What I WOULD suggest for Curacao is to go snorkeling/diving. Beautiful reef, lots of colorful fish etc. Again, unless something lively has come along over the past 10+ yrs, there wasn't much to do there as I recall. Another drunken day at sea will bring you to Sint Maarten. As Mvusse mentioned, it has a Dutch side and a French side. How cool is that? Now we used to rent a Jeep here so we could go to both sides, but we got a good deal on the Jeep so I don't know if it is cheaper to do that or just take a taxi. Plenty of restaurants to choose from on both sides. If you plan to do any shopping, this is the place to do it on the Dutch side (where you port). Tons of electronics retailers and bargain city. And when I say bargain, I mean like you can bargain like hell with these guys. It's fun to just hammer them on price or get them to throw in all kinds of accessories and extras on stuff. If they still do the racing yacht deal there that's a blast. You can sign up to go out on a "retired" America's Cup racing yacht and you actually are part of the crew and race another boat. Very cool. Now trying to do stuff on both sides of the island is tough to do in one day, and the French side is definitely pretty laid back, but it may be worth the trip to hang out at the nude beach LOL. But I'll warn you, there's about 1 hottie for every 10 shriveled up old lady out there. Oh, and you're not frowned upon if you don't strip down, so no big deal there. On to St. Thomas. DON"T shop here as it is notoriously expensive. Granted, they have a ton of REALLY nice shops, but it's hard to find a good deal on anything. While this is a very touristy suggestion, you gotta hit the Hard Rock Cafe up on the hill that looks down on the port. It had just opened when I was there and the bar (which I've seen in other Hard Rocks) is Eddie Van Halen's guitar. The head of the guitar is actually a table on the other side of the wall outside on the patio. Well, I was not intending to try to be a tourist guide, and as experienced cruisers you and your wife have probably already checked all of this out. But, if not, hopefully I have suggested or pointed something out that adds to your trip. Don't forget your sunblock!! :D

Jeff, have you been to any of these islands before? I think you said you've cruised a few times before. Which line again?

Love the Mini pickup, never knew they made it.

That's a good price for the whole set, but if you just need 1 or 2 pieces, you can get them here: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/ ... atalogid=2 ***fyi..the site is actually wholesalemopar.com, this link is actually through the search software of the site, i.e. trademotion.com is not a parts website you don't have to take the glass out. you might be able to do it w/out removing anything since your replacing the strip and if you tear it up coming out, no big deal. but it's pretty easy to remove the door panel and inner strip which makes it easier to remove and install. this also allows you to inspect your retainer clips to make sure it is being held in tight. a fairly easy job though.....

H1 Alpha with the HO Duramax.........hell yeah

It IS proven, their off road ability is excellent. Sure they have problems, other BS problems as a mass produced vehicle. I'm just pointing out that as a vehicle that was designed to be one of the most off road capable production vehicles, they succeeded and therefore it is unjustified to label it a POS. Just because it hasn't been around for 50 yrs with a passionate group of owners (i.e. Jeep), doesn't mean it's wrong for them to market it as a hard core production vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting for Hummer as the greatest four wheeler ever, I'm just engaging in a little debate 8)

Pat, I appreciate your passionate opinion about things, but the Hummer is a proven offroader, and not just the H1 but the H2 and H3 as well. Yes, 95% of the owners probably never even engage it in 4wd, yes it is a status symbol and waste of engineering, but you can't call it a POS just because you don't like it or what it's used for, or better yet, NOT used for. Chilllllaaaaxxxx dude!! :chillin:

Thanks Chico, I wasn't quite sure what Horn was talking about and obviously he was having the same problem with my post LOL.

That's the John McClain signature series clip..........never runs out of bullets until the bad guys are dead :rotfl2:

i dig it because they're different, but i like them better on your blue on because of the lift and brush guard, just goes better for some reason.

...........and now a moment for this brief thread break/hi-jack...... Wade, your new avatar is, um, killer! ..now back to our regularly scheduled thread discussion...

what's the worry, at least you know it's clean?!

one off wheels? ya think? looks like they welded a section from a 55 gallon drum to a fan off of a big HVAC unit or restaurant kitchen! :laughin:

Where is the money slot on that Regal to put your quarters in before you take a ride? LOL Look at the rubber on those things, I truly think they got a cap (retread) from a commercial tire dealer to somehow adhere to the rims instead of a truck casing. absolutely hilarious. i'd love to see closeups of the drivetrain setup on both those rigs.....errrr, cars.

Personally, I can say with complete confidence that if a slang dictionary had a picture to go with the phrase "now i've seen it all", that Chevadillac would be it. Now, on top of bolting a caddy grille on what was surely a police pkg Caprice/Impala, I'm impressed that with all the money they spent lifting it, putting $2k a tire Pirelli 30s on it, obviously custom fab'd, uh, wheels, that they made sure to cover all the bases and sw/out the stock rear drums for discs. oh.........my bad, they didn't.

i was gonna say, i'd pay more for the gray one, that thing looked super nice! i don't follow you though on he rather have a lwb, cuz the gray was a lwb and the white is a swb?
