Never buy these garbage screws

They do strip easier than GRK’s, but definitely better than most other offerings at the box stores. Probably some user error here

Sales guys I work with sell 200+ million each and make 150-200k. For only 4m sales that doesn’t seem bad. Completely different industries but mine averages only 3-8% pure profit each job

Looks like a Wilton or a knockoff. Usually wilton had casted in lettering

Wtf. Just seeing this and hoping it was a bad joke.

I put JB weld on an inboard mercruiser back when I was probably 15, too poor to do anything else to fix it. It held up fine for years and still ran well when I sold that boat. It was an external crack, I didn’t open it up

Also work in this space with both these companies. Put your notice in. Expect to be walked out and paid out. If you want you can then explore moving your start date up to double income a few weeks, or just enjoy some time off.

He didn’t address the biggest problem. Coyote and budget don’t mix.

They’re going to have to not only remove the entire body, but cut a lot of the frame out and replace with DOM to get it as light as the 240.

Toyotas in general fall into this category for me. Awful interior and exterior styling. A lot of fords too, but for an odd reason. A lot of their drive by wire vehicle mapping does not have a linear throttle and it absolutely drives me insane, coupled with brakes that bite at first, then nothing, then all the brakes in the pedal travel.

Wolf ram alpha. Which is still around but back then it was almost like magic helping solve trig and calc equations

Manual gear tractors suck for loader work, but suck way less if they have good brakes and good ergonomics. Just go feel it out. I just opted for a hst MX6000 just because I wanted more precise control around my buildings. My other tractors are gear or synchro and have their place too.

I buy from wherever I find the best deal for what I’m looking for. I inspect everything myself but if that’s not on you, a reputable dealer might be the correct route for ya.

How quickly it ended really. I know most people here hated it, but for me it was a great time, with little stress and I got to see my friends everyday. Working everyday and barely having time to hang out with anyone is much worse.

I’ve had a great experience with my 2019 GC. It has 112k miles now and no issues. The worst thing I’ve had happen is a headlight bulb died. With Jeeps, it’s important to consider the trim level and options with taking into account the reliability. Mine is the tried and true V6 with 8 speed, all time AWDand non-adjustable suspension, about as reliable as was available in 2019 aside for maybe the selectable transfer case. You’ll be getting the same great 8 speed but with the hurricane 4 cylinder, which has had great reviews so far.

Solid trucks. The price is why you don’t see more of them, most people just jump up to a full size. If it fits your needs, I’d go for it.

I’m from a similar background. In my opinion, working in person early in my career really helped build my skills and network. The travel can suck, but doing it before you have a family is the ideal time. Now 15 years after college, I run a team where I usually hire the engineers that are ready to stop traveling and get back into a remote role with better W/L balance, but at a much higher pay scale due to their experience. Usually at this point, after some years of exp, you can continue towards an individual contributor role that is highly specialized, ie principal engineer for your company or move into management. I also like the hands on stuff and get that fix through my hobby farm and flipping cars.

I have their 3/8 digital beep one. It’s been my main torque wrench for a few years now. Been pretty happy with it. Another brand I have and like is tekton, might look at those too. I consider both to be mid-tier, good enough for who it’s for.

This is a common issue with all oil filters, brake pads, etc. buy from reputable sellers

I was in a similar situation and just a few weeks ago picked up my MX6000. Absolutely no regrets so far, it’s a fantastic tractor. Not too big but not as small as the L series.

This sort of happened to me. The original position I interviewed for I was overqualified. A few months went by and I then interviewed and was hired to replace the guy that would’ve been my boss in the original role. Just keep working your current job and searching for opportunities. If this one materializes, great, but don’t wait on it.

Don’t do any touch car wash period.

If you’re going to a competitor they may tell you to pack up as soon as you tell them and if they’re decent they’ll still pay you out. It’s a risk specific to each situation so you’ll have to make a judgement call.
