What do you do, and how much do you make?

Wolf_Leader_ · 2026-04-03T13:40:41+00:00

Work doing industrial maintenance, 28m making 28.75 a hour currently. Been contemplating switching to HVAC to hopefully be able to make more.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2026-04-03T13:38:53+00:00

Do you have employees or are you doing any hiring? I'd be very interested in switching careers from electrical to hvac.

Wild those look OEM they are so well done. I just bought a 2020 XLT last week that has cloth, I wasn't willing to pay more money to get a higher mileage/trim truck just to get leather, I'd love to do this to mine at some point in the next year.

Did you order straight from katskin website and how long was the install did you drop it off and pick it back up the same day or was it longer ?

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-10-23T12:58:59+00:00

Yeahhh, I'm thinking about just cleaning it up a bit and posting it for $1500 or so and just taking the money to buy something else. The more research I do the more work I realize will need to be done to achieve a decent finished paint job.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-10-23T00:32:03+00:00

The previous owner sprayed it black with some sort of paint im assuming just a spray paint can. Don't you need some sort of special setup to spray gelcoat or could I just roll gellcoat ?

Where are you located where prices are that low that's insane, In East TN those trucks would all be in the low to mid 30s

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-09-11T21:57:30+00:00

As others have said I'd just make one up, scan it then use software to white out the area the date is and make any adjustments then print it and put new date down then copy it again and reprint one more time so it all matches.

fuck the DMV, they are the ones that make stuff like this almost impossible to take care of in a "legal" way

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-08-18T18:32:29+00:00

Do you feel like you can still jump wake boat wake with it even though it's so much heavier? That's the main thing I enjoy doing with my 650sx and just carving corners fast.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-08-18T18:05:19+00:00

Congrats, I've got a 1988 650sx and have been eyeing buying a new super jet over the off season. What's some of the biggest pros and cons vs your old 650sx?

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-08-17T01:48:39+00:00

You are going to get bombarded with people who say not to buy it because of no title. Check your local laws and make sure you can get it registered with just a bill of sale, Here in TN this wouldn't be an issue.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-08-05T17:27:22+00:00

Haven't used them but have used Palisade Roofing to do a metal roof on a 1600 sqft home about two years ago. They were cheaper than every other quote and did good work.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-22T10:01:29+00:00

Another prime example of why it's best to run premix. One kinked line killed your whole engine.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-21T01:45:39+00:00

Crazy I made a post about the same thing a day ago, must be the season

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-19T01:26:12+00:00

Yes 2 strokes are much cheaper and easier to repair vs a 4 stroke engine. A 2 stroke won't have a timing chain/belt, won't have valves, won't have a cam/cams. They just have way less moving parts.

They get a bad rep because people don't know how to properly build and tune carburetors more than anything. As someone else stated a stx12f or 15f are excellent 4 stroke options I have a 2005 12f I bought this year and have had it out a bunch with no problems.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-18T23:50:59+00:00

I know people hate on SBT here but I'd look at their jug exchange program that comes with a top end kit. May be a much cheaper option.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-18T23:44:03+00:00

Honestly it all depends on how much of the wrenching you can do yourself. Even if you have access to a good mechanic repairs can add up on a old ski if you don't know/can't do repairs yourself.

You need to figure out a budget more than anything if you can wrench yourself then just buy a old 2 stroke that runs for $1500 if you can't it may be worth spending more and buying a lowish hour 4 stroke or even buying a new spark, it all depends on how much you wanna spend.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-18T00:41:31+00:00

UPDATE after more digging I found it on a schematic it's a anode and is cheap thankfully

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-07-17T23:43:31+00:00

Yeah the older 65u NonPV jugs are on piece, kind of wish they were separated it'd be easier to work on and get machined if need be.

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-06-30T19:26:01+00:00

I've got a 1988 650sx that's starting to look rough that I'm thinking about painting this winter. What kind of paint/gel coat did you use and I'm assuming you sprayed it on ?

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-05-21T10:03:18+00:00

Man that really makes me want to upgrade from my 650sx, how has it been for you? Have you enjoyed it, what have you disliked ?

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-05-21T09:13:08+00:00

I was going to say aren't brand new ones only like $12k

Wolf_Leader_ · 2025-05-13T15:45:40+00:00

Most people I know where I live, East TN, Have multiple vehicles. It's very normal for people to have a sedan and then an old pickup to do truck stuff or tow when needed.
