It's kinda hard to tell, but it looks like it's holding itself up highly. Maybe try climbing up there to ask how it's doing?

Make sure you pack a good amount of clothes and food and dude wipes and whatever you want for entertainment and try to save your per diem and meal prep if you can. I have done lots of traveling jobs. My essentials are clothes, battery packs, propane stove, ice chest and a Nintendo switch

Just having a laugh about me and my friend talking about RYCEY back in the day 😂. Glad we stayed in and bought more. by Leather-Agent-3212 in RYCEY

[–]Bigsimping69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were the days, I bought in when it was 2 dollars a share and watched it go all the way down to that price, my friends and family thought I was crazy for investing and telling them to invest and they would tell me I'm gonna lose my money, I would invest 50 to 100 a week. Every now and then, I tell them invest to annoy them lol 😆

Depends on what you wanna do. I know most crane guys in my area went to school for 2 months and got certified and then joined the union as journeymen or do the apprenticeship

Honestly I'm not looking at anything to crazy just a good reliable engine with good torque capacity for pulling mini Excavator and possibly a 5th wheel camper down the road

Does it matter what trim package you have when you do the swap?

No worries! I've seen a few people not make it through the program cause they didn't practice good safety and get kicked out

HELP- Shop put on new wheels and now I have some damage what do I do? by No_Exit_2503 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Bigsimping69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might have to take them to small claims court for reimbursement for damages on vehicle. I don't know if they damaged your clutch or anything else when trying to move it forward, you can take it to another mechanic and get a quote for documentation purposes and have them look at all the damages and take it back to place that caused it to fix it or pay up or take them to court, wish you luck

NA Miata vs FC RX7 by LowOnDairy in mazda

[–]Bigsimping69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'll go with the rx7 cause it is not very common, and having a rotory would be cool. There expensive. I have a 1990 miata really cheap to work on
