Thanks. Cant beat mandatory OT, right Mike?

Well, I dont feel comfortable talking about Where I will be working when its dealing with firearms on a open forum.
So I wont be broadcasting that, but its a nice lil place and it allows me to work with my hand doing something I enjoy.
And the best part (besides the $$) its going to only be like a 40 mile /1 hr drive round trip, for me from now on. Where as I had a 90 mile / 3hour drive at my last job.

All depends, mandantory O/T ALWAYS pops up when I have a jeep thing going
Congrats on the job Wished they would have called you on mine, you could have had all of the O/T, I wouldn't have complained

Thanks mike. Now i can get those parts from ya finally. And I can drive myself to the next trail.

I wish they would of called too but maybe next time.
well they say mandatory but its more of a "we really want you to but if you have plans maybe next week..."

My first day they asked me if I wanted to make some money and when I wanted a day off and i said I dont want a day off, so Ive they put on the books for 16hours of OT for this week, thats not including if i come in early or stay later or if someone calls out and they need a fill in .
Oh and of course all breaks/lunch are paid no clocking out for it.

You want the whole list, or bits and pieces??? I get confused easily
Guess that means you're going to Rausch in 2 weeks ?!?

Go Doc! Good to hear.

MD Jeepers post #5000!

DocOrng XJ

Mike,
I'll let you decide. Either the $50 or $100 or something in between depending on what you can find. I can technically do either list now (not including the doors and brush guard lol)

RC still might be out for me though unless 2 things happens
1) someone from here can talk my GF into it - my gf is still hesitant after Pudgy almost rolled his vehicle on Trails lol
2) I get those parts installed before then

Thanks Clown
Darn it I was hoping for that.
well Im first to comment after 5000

So I have to ask. Exactly what tools are needed?
I'm going to attempt installing my lift this weekend and I'm looking for a good write up.

zwhiz

Anyone know a good place to get steel around bowie/college park? for making bumpers and what not

Pudgy Fingers

Good news Doc. I'm glad you got something closer to you. You'll miss me getting on your case I'm sure. Lol.

dukie564

I have all the tools we'll need Brian - trust me

on that note did you get shims with your kit? Ones we need to install? If so we need longer center pins? I pass an Ace Hardware on my way home I could stop by it if need be - just would need to know the size needed.

pulltabmike

Doc,
How can we go without your medical and recovery expertise?!? Think about it, I'm a walking medical emergency

jakbob

you wanna help me with mine lol ive done 3 inch lift kits... never a 4.5" long arm... not gonna lie, thinking bout doing it myself scares me... mainly because i dont have a vehicle lift...

you might be my go to guy for the welding... my buddy who welds is a bit, how would you say... flakey. i just need to find someone who either a.) has a car lift or b.) can jack up the jeep high enough for us to work on (im leaning towards a more cause i have a phobia of going under vehicles on jacks/jackstands since that one time a 94 suburban almost took my arm off...)

also (since you are UBER far away from me) if i have to take it to a shop to get it welded... how can i find out if the guy can even weld? i dont want a bunch of boogers...
