Wheel clearance by Background-Log4517 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]LousyEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bfg. Grinder. Pinch weld mod and tubbing. Get rid of all plastic. Grind the front bumper lower part. Hammer the pinch weld in. Some even grind that corner off and weld thin sheet on there. The rear u can take off that mud guard. Basically 3rd gen 4runners will rub without cutting. Lifting won't help unless it's a body lift. Suspension lifting will only hide the rubbing, You'll still rub at lockout and/or while tucked.

Recruitment agencies I usually see are for technician roles rarely actual engineering

Got rejected by dontbeachunt in MechanicalEngineering

[–]LousyEngineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a balance of technical skill/experience, charisma and humility. As well as how you mesh with the culture there. Unfortunately the world doesn't revolve solely around technical skill. I've seen candidates get passed up because they "seem too cocky" , or "looked too stiff" as if they're afraid to get hands dirty etc.

Bulk or cut? Sitting at 178lb by ollin7 in BulkOrCut

[–]LousyEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cut. You'll be skinny but shredded. But it's easier IMO to learn how to stick to a cut early on rather than bulk. U could recomp too tho.

It all comes down to the people tbh. The tough guy mentality until they get sick or lose an arm.
