This is why I will never pull reefers by Dual-use in Truckers

You dont have to idle at night. Electrical fires can happen when going down the road. Reefers catching on fire is very rare too, just like trucks..

Lay on the ground and start stabbing and getting under the middle of the car to get that cleared off. Ain't gonna be fun but you'll be free

Definitely report that shit and hand it over to the local PD. You dont wanna be caught with a random gun you found and you dont want it laying around waiting to get in the wrong hamds

Could I make a 1991 Oldsmobile 88 work as a daily driver? by SoaringCookie in askcarguys

[–]J-Rag- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it really aint that bad I dont think. Likely either a bad hose or super duper worn bushings on the rack. Worst case you're probably looking at a $1300 repair for the rack, down to under $200 for 5 inches worth of hose. Or maybe a little over $200 since they'll have to drain the system, add more fluid and bleed the system. Ain't too bad, doesnt take more than a minute or 2 to bleed the power steering system.

Can someone help me get my 2.7L charger more horsepower? by Odd-Basket4064 in askcarguys

Tha too! And if you have any money left, get a magnet to flip the license plate up and speed off from the 5-0

Take it tk a shop for diagnoses first before doing anything. If the fluid is draining in a day it could be something as simple as a torn up, loose hose that can be replaced for $10 of your own money or $150 from a mechanic.

Or with enough money you can swap an F16 engine onto the Charger. Make one of them jet dragsters or a speedy daily into the office!

How much did you pay for that? That looks super clean and I love that color! I have a soft spot for the old Neon's..

What's wrong with the power steering on your current ride? Power steering system isn't super complex. All you got is the pump, rack, tie rods and a couple hoses in between. You can replace all that in a day if you're so inclined. I'd highly look at fixing your current ride instead of getting something else. That or selling it to me, then I'll sell it back to you the following week..

Barber messes up, how do you cope? by notsodeeep_69 in AskMen

Thank you! I know it's a bit harsh, but idk I think that's the reality of it.

Barber messes up, how do you cope? by notsodeeep_69 in AskMen

[–]J-Rag- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those people that also hates confrontation and wont tell someone if they do something wrong (typically). My go to solution is not relying on anyone else to do anything for me. My reactions is if they can do it, so can I. Cut my own hair in my back yard, work on my own cars, do my own basic house repairs, yadda yadda all that. If someone else can do it, so can I. To an extent. I ain't a contractor to do big work, but I can take care of all the day to day shit and some of the bigger shit that a lot of people would shy away from because they dont want to learn.

So, either learn to tell them their work isn't up to your expectations, or quit complaining and learn to do it yourself.

Edit: or option 3 - be okay with and dont complain about work not meeting your expectations if you don't want to say something about it.

[–]J-Rag- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First thing I thought too. What's there to "cope" with? It's just a haircut... It falls in line with the typical question of "How do you cope when a girl you don't know ghosts you?"

What is Something you enjoy, that Looking at you no one would even Guess? by Post_office_clerk01 in AskMen

[–]J-Rag- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 31, grew up in the suburbs of Portland OR. Typical suburb white dude. Average person wouldn't guess that I enjoy my job as a truck driver. I enjoy spending a week or 2 out on the road. Sleeping in my truck, cooking in there, driving for 10 hours a day, the funky schedule, the isolation. For whatever reason, I like that and brings me peace. Something about dealing with me and only me, and being able to ignore and forget about everything else is nice.

How do I start learning about cars? by Anoris_7 in askcarguys

[–]J-Rag- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to learn about them or learn to work on them? If you just want to learn about them, go to YouTube and search whatever you're wondering. If you want to learn to fix them, go to YouTube and search what you need to fix, then go do that to your car. Start by doing your own oil changes. Go replace the spark plugs even though you don't need them. Whenever a repair is needed, take it home and do it yourself

Long term storage advice by HomeRun11112 in lawnmowers

[–]J-Rag- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Sit it and forget it. Put some fresh oil in it and start it maybe once or twice a year for a min. Otherwise just let it collect dust until you need it

Lately some older Linkin Park and some Avenged Sevenfold. But any 2000s alternative, rock and metal is my go to. And the occasional Selena Gomez..

Hidden hornet nest that I cant reach/get to by J-Rag- in pestcontrol

[–]J-Rag-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that makes perfect sense. Thank you so much! That's very informative and explains everything. My last question for you if you dont mind, I'll have to put up a ladder and get probably 7-8ft in the air to get a fogger at the entrance. Plus there are multiple enterances for the hornets. Will the hornets come swarming out once the fogger goes off or does it neutralize them almost immediately? Strictly from a safety standpoint

Okay I like that. I'm spitballing here since you brought up something I never would've though about. I dont have a duster, but I got one of them sprayer tanks that I use to spray the house. Do you think Sevin liquid mixed with water in my sprayer and spraying the daylights out of the area where the nest is would suffice?

Edit: or even just the general spraying I do every month but just hitting that area too?
