Never thought i would see the day where i can say my MJ will have an OG dana 44. Just bought tonight for $175. Complete drum to drum with E cables and bracket. 3.07 w/ lsd. Now, what do i do with it? 🤨 Currently have chry 8.25 with custom length driveshaft. How do i get brakes/gears? Can i convert to disk? Should I? Converted Chrysler to disc and really like it. Can the LSD be serviced/rebuilt? Will the driveshaft i have work? Will post pics tomorrow.

Bringing this back, figure its time for an update. Whats everybody status? TP hasn't replaced the dollar as the countries currency so i guess there wasn't a total collapse of the socioeconomic structure, which is something right?

Nah, rear hatch/trunk is normal.
-
A quick Google showed a couple similar limos that served as presidential limos and were armored, but that doesnt explain the stretched roof. Maybe just better visibility?
-
At first glance i thought these were herses or something, but the rear is your typical trunk/hatch. They just have super tall roofs. Like 2ft of head room. Maybe for transporting NBA players?
-
I guess such ventures are only for the well off then, because there is no way in heck i can afford a lawyer, in any capacity.

EITMLI5 = Explain It To Me Like I'm 5 years old I have a domain name i would like to register/trademark/copywrite. Ive tried on my own, but this is so far out of my wheelhouse i don't even know where to begin. I tried calling the US patent/copyright office and after waiting an hour and a half on hold they weren't able to tell me very much. Probably wrong people to talk to. My goal is simply to reserve the right to use and/or license the name.

Look for the big neon arrow with three flying pigs. Spent a lot of time Murfreesboro, school, work, shopping. Parents commute all the time from Woodbury. Our neighbor literally blew up his trailer from a meth lab. And the largest meth lab in the state (i think) was found just a few miles up the road. Good times. Long time friend of the family was a 30 year Nashville cop vet. You would think Nashville was the HQ for the cartels with the level of organized crime/drug/human trafficking going on there. East TN is the only part of TN I'm even remotely interested in. Thanks for the insight. Isnt Oregon the hotbed for the riots right now? Id love to go on a riot watching vacation and just visit all the places where they are happening and spectate.

Absolutely freakin awesome. Had no idea. I don't know if I'll live to see it, but setting foot on another planet is #1 on my bucket list.

i have to send this to my dad hes gonnna piss himself.

Ah gotcha, that makes more sense. Same for crappie/speck fishing. Some guys will have a crazy amount of poles on riggers. Could you be more specific? I need to know where i should work on comprising. Montana is undeniably beautiful, but to far from ocean, same for Wyoming and idaho. TN is a good option for me logically, m&d live there. Although east TN is the only place i would consider looking. Lived in middle Tennessee for 10 years, hated it. Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely be looking very closely at that area. The demographic criteria is merely a preference not a requirement. That is the dichotomy isn't it? Higher-income paired with higher cost of living and vice a versa. Exceptions are extremely rare and coveted. Why did you move and more importantly have you been to Jack's ribs on Main Street? I am keenly aware of how limiting my budget is. I am hoping to find a run-down Sub 1000 sqft foot foreclosure home that needs a lot of cleaning and repair. If the underlying structure is good i can handle anything else. A CBS home is my preferred choice. I also don't expect or want to live in downtown or even in the burbs. I expect to drive 30/45min one way to get to and from the city. It's a hard choice for me, because the town I'm in right now is one of those towns that has experienced an extraordinary amount of growth and increase in outside interest. I also have my absolute most ideal living arrangement. House all to myself, about 30 minutes outside of town in a small very very secluded, not gated, neighborhood in the middle of an orange grove. Problem is i don't know how much longer i can continue on the path I'm on. I've been self-employed as a handyman for the past 5 years and while it keeps me relatively busy I have nothing to show for it, as far as savings. Bottom line is I'm not making enough money and i don't know if i should stick it out here and hope to ride that future growth wave or move someplace that already has a high median household income. When I think brutal winter, I think weeks on end zero and below zero temperatures. Having to have a ladder on the roof of my house to climb down to access my front door because the snow drifts are up to the eaves. I love rain. It's one of my favorite things about Florida. But cold and raining? Or sleet? No thanks

Limit on number of poles you can own? Sweet tap dancing jesus thats absurd. Definitely one i havent heard of yet. I like fishing and would even consider myself avid. Although its exceptionally rare for me to keep anything. This kind of ties into why i want to be near the ocean. All the tastiest water critters come from salt water (other than catfish).

Moving out of the country is definitely out of the question. PMed What attracts you to that area? I like guns, but i don't own any. Although i would prefer to live where gun laws are more lax than strict. Never been hunting, would like to, but its never been a passion of mine. I imagine fishing regs are fairly simliar state to state. Coming from South FL the old joke is its better to get caught with a lb of coke than a lb of snook out of season. They are deadly serious about snook season. Vehicle inspection is a neccessary evil i think, although its an evil i would rather avoid. Good point on taxs/tax laws. I know someplaces practically smother any small businesses with all the regs/red tape/taxes. Weather and climate is pretty flexible. My only caveat are "slushy" winters. Lived in middle tn for about 10 years, terrible terrible winters. Just wet muddy rainy and freezing for 6 months straight. If your asking if i want to be near the ocean, the answer is yes. No more than 2hr drive. If you're asking why I want to be near the ocean, it's hard to explain, I just feel the ocean is the ultimate manifestation of freedom and life and I want to be close to that source. I actually don't like going to the beach all that much. It would take some significant convincing for me to move to Kansas, being smack in the middle of the country. 500k is about 5x what my theoretical budget will be. Part of the reason why I want to move is because of that. A handyman/remodeling contractors earning potential is 75% dependent on his location. Replacing a toilet here you get $100 max, 50 miles up the road they start at $400. Significant median household income is paramount for securing a living wage in all service based economies. I have actually been looking at Main quite a lot. Problem is though the largest city in all of Maine only has 60k people and the median household income is significantly below the national average. House prices are good. Lots and lots of good first homes for around a 100k Winters would be absolutely brutal.

28, not married/no kids, renting, and home loans are at historic lows, which means i should be buying my first house. . . I just don't know where. Budget is irrelavent at this stage as I'm just looking for general geographic recommendations. I am a handyman/hopeful entrepreneur who hopes to have a viable business of his own someday. * = negotiable Some quick notes of what I'm looking for. Contiguous US only Mostly white population (70% or higher) High income/Low cost of living as possible Low crime No/low rioting Close to the ocean, not neccesarily a beach, but the ocean in general, absolutely no more than 2hrs away. NOT NOT NOT in a hollow/holl'er. I HATE rolling hill type geography. Give me serious moutains, flat as a pancake plains or some combination thereof. Climate: hot/cold doesnt matter at this stage, however no where where the winter can be described as "slushy". Middle TN is the worst for this. *Must be close (1hr drive) to large city 100k+ pop Id also like to hear suggestions you might have completely regardless of the above criteria and your reasons why. Thanks.

Ho-ly sh*t. . . O_O

Bump, just in case.

I will be driving from Tennessee to Florida in the next two weeks. Will be pulling a nice heavy duty tandem axle flatbed trailer. If you need something delivered somewhere between Southeast Florida and Middle Tennessee and are willing to buy my gas let me know.

None of this makes much sense to me, so ill surmize the whole system once more for myself and others. Car is cold > key in run position > install relay > relay clicks > 12v at two wire fan plug, but no grd Car cold > key in run position > relay installed > unplug thermal switch > same relay clicks again and fan turns on. Jump wires for thermal switch and fan turns off. The fan must be receiving B+ from a different source and not the relay. Looking at just the relay and thermal switch. When there is a jumper wire connecting the two leads of the TS plug the relay is energized. But with how this circut is configured, energizing the relay opens the controlled circuit. The TS is a normally closed postion switch. Car is cold TS is closed and relay is engergized. Car warms up, TS opens, relay is denergized, grd connection is made and the fan turns on. The relay being pretty much constantly engergized would explain why it gets a million degrees. Like can't put your finger on it hot. It also seems it failed to fail as designed too. As metioned it seems they tried to configure it with a fail safe in mind. Should the TS fail it should fail in such a way that the fan will just run all the time, this is not the case for me. Car just got hotter and hotter.
