Greyhound has a freight service that is reasonably priced for bulky stuff like seats. It's just not fast as it's space available in the luggage bin of their buses. Fastenal does it to through their stores as it's space available on their warehouse to store transfer trucks. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

DC had a company that was marketing the crap out of the Jeep brand. Also harassing Jeep Clubs that sold merch online with the word jeep on it. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Up north places can't hire enough good welders... lots of stick holders out there, not enough good ones. Speciality welders can pull down 6 figures if they like travel. Especially underwater welders. Truck driving? You can make a living, but being only 20, you can't drive OTR and most places don't hire rookies for local stuff, that goes to the crusty old bastards.

The options have both rotating days off and rotating days/nights. I would consider rotating days but most of the options are rotating days/nights. Children seem to be the biggest factor in this situation. Everyone I've talked to with children straight up said they can't work rotating. One of the guys in my department is a single dad and pointed out that there are no daycares open that long or at night. For me, I'm only 22 but hoping to get Married, buy a house, and start a family in the next year so going to rotating shifts will make that extremely difficult. Especially since my girlfriend works basically the same schedule as me already (6-3). I understand why they need to do it but it sucks for everyone who has setup their lives around this schedule for so many years. My department doesn't have the rotating schedule, we don't have attendance problems or issues with performance. But.. it's very expensive to start and stop the extruders over and over, so that is why production works the rotating schedules. The people that have been doing it a long time tell me it's nice when you need to take care of appointments or legal/bank stuff. You know ahead of time when you will have a weekday available to do that stuff. They work a 2/2/3 schedule here. One group works Monday,Tuesday, then has Wednesday, Thursday off, then works Friday,Saturday,Sunday one week. Then reverses it the next. The other group works the opposite schedule. So they still get a three day weekend every other week. 12 hour shifts for day and night crews. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Which kind of rotating? Day to night and back or rotating days off? I did rotating day to nights when I was young. I wouldn't do it now with kids and being older. I never felt like I slept enough and it seemed like too many accidents happened on rotation days. Rotating days off is what production does where I am now. Not working when all the 8-5 places are open would be nice at times. The older guys handle it alot better than the young people. Alot of call offs on Saturdays and Sundays from the youngins.

Are we referring to Goatman, from NAXJA? I noticed several other Jeep and AMC vehicles in the lineup, too. It's not Richard. It's another member here. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

It's not their first rodeo...just their first in the StreetManche. They reported a dieing transmission, some blown fuses and a noisy speedo cable after the first section. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I have the scanner radio app and being an amateur radio operator I also have echolink. Both are kind of cool, but really eat up data. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

It's a combination of Renault and Bendix. Renault was the part owner of Jeep at the time and designed much of the electronics. Bendix was the manufacturer of much of the electronics on that system. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I have some questions about it, that I would like to ask an actual participant that used either an XJ/MJ. I realize that there are other sanctioning bodies and unsanctioned race series out there, but I'm specifically interested in this particular one. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, that's where the bulk of Jeep's market is these days. "Jeep" has become a commodity vehicle. They aren't interested in building Jeeps any more, they're only interested in selling vehicles. I'm under no disillusionment that FCA is the least bit interested in marketing any vehicle to my specific niche of needs beyond their very unispired Ram brand offerings. It's why the current Ford will 99% chance be replaced with another Ford. I'm hoping to find an Expedition EL with the flex fuel motor and HD towing package with the King Ranch trim. Needle in a haystack to say the least. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Ugghh...if it's got some little useless 4 foot bed and Wrangler tow rating...it's just a waste, made for mall queens to say they have a Jeep pickup. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

There was a company back when that advertised the body kits. I don't have any clue how many they actually sold. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

That first one looks like something you would see filled with clowns in a parade. The yellow one looks like something from a Ken Jeong movie. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

That's a blast from the past! It's even "we thought that $#!& color was cool in the 70's" orange... I'm guessing parts are going to be tough to come by? Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Maybe they did. They made an offer, it was accepted. The boards have not voted on the deal yet and if sears slides into bankruptcy the judge may throw the deal out as it actually lasts 15 years. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk
