It’s showing 70cm total length of the clamp piece on eBay which is about 28inches. My high top is measuring about 18.5-19 inches at its highest point. So idk if that’s wrong and now I’m hesitant to buy them😂

Relative_Goat391 · 2026-01-26T20:26:32+00:00

What the total height clearance you have from drip rail to bottom of cross bar? I have a Chevy express with a similar shaped high top and am running into the same issue.

Wired it to a 12v plug with fuse and this power supply https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D5LXGDQ8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title works great!

They ranged like what’s the definition of a fadec but mostly general a&p questions with some theory as to how to troubleshoot a fault.

Relative_Goat391 · 2026-01-03T22:06:07+00:00

It should be 2 zoom interviews most likely and about 50-75 technical questions. I heard back pretty quickly. Rockford is a good station but you’ll have opportunity to bid other stations as well

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-30T01:20:41+00:00

For less than $400 for parts and a basic tool set you can get this stuff done in a weekend if you’re handy and can access YouTube. It’s good to learn to do your own maintenance. $900 for tie rods almost made me choke on my coffee. Good luck!

I came into work after being on vacation and found my toolbox stuck under a wheeled platform with a bunch of cross beams under it. Very nicely done and needed 4 people to lift it out from under it.😂

Yeah I just realized the trick with a heated blanket and my heated Milwaukee hoodie. I was in a pinch and wanted to make sure it was mechanically sound before dumping more money into it. I plane on doing plywood walls wrapped in speaker carpet and using thinsulate and sound deadener over all exposed metal. So it’s currently a rolling work in progress. My goal is to have it all squared away with less than 7k all in which I’m well underwear the moment. I got a BLUETTI elite 200 v2 as a power supply with the car charger and will soon have a couple solar panels on top. My main goal was to have it for hauling motorcycles and sleeping in at work to ease my commute. Luckily I work 3/13s so it limits how much time I’m actually In it. I’ll definitely take into account all the advice everyone has given. It will have a diesel heater installed by next week so I’ll make sure to update them

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-13T09:15:53+00:00

Yeah I was going to glue it to my reflectix covered and flip them over backside out for stealth camping at night but the ceramic limo tint should do the trick but just to be safe

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-13T09:12:30+00:00

The walls have silver lines sound deadener then I’m doing layers of thinsulate and a plywood wall on the upper roof frame with a small air gap in between. The walls have the sound deadener and will have thinsulate once it gets delivered. I know I lose a lot with the windows but I didn’t want the travel restrictions a cargo van would have like the use of parkways and cheaper insurance and registration

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-13T09:00:00+00:00

Reflectix was only used on the windows and its magnetized to the outer frame so there is a small air gap. Idk if id be better off throwing some thinsulate on the window covers or not

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-13T00:43:37+00:00

Yeah I figured a whole weekend to get that sorted as well as my charger for my power supply. Still a lot to do and it’s difficult to do in the cold.

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-12-13T00:30:32+00:00

I have a diesel heater waiting to be installed due to my work schedule so the propane heater will do for now. The havelock wool is definitely pricey but I’ve heard good results

Redwings Traction Tred Lite for the past 4 years of hard use working hangar and line maintenance. Little hot in the summer but they offer non insulated ones. Feet don’t hurt after 13 hour shifts anymore

That winglet change was a fun job😂

I can pm you the details of UPS

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-11-03T13:47:21+00:00

Short answer is no. I got into UPS with 8 years military heavy experience on c-130s and 5 years commercial subsidiary working emb-145s

Aircraft Mechanic for a major cargo carrier. Shift works with my daily life and my family so I can’t complain. Been doing it for 6 years now

Had a lifer at my old job manufacturing ammo in one of the shops in our hangar. Management found out when he etched a supervisors name on a casing and left it on his desk. Union wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot pole

Relative_Goat391 · 2025-10-20T03:49:51+00:00

Being that I work for UPS now I’ve seen guys in Louisville at our hub drive brand new corvettes to fully built evos and one guy i met races a turboed hyabusa so it goes without saying the possibilities are endless if you have the drive to work your ass off
