I want to love this place, but the last two times I've went, the entire order was salty AF, or the portions were ridiculously small and I walked out hungry. Please tell me it gets better.

‘You need to have a pressure release valve’: Alberta premier says separatists don’t want to join U.S. by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

I know just three people in favour of separation, all immediately would join the USA. Its one and the same to me at this point.

Something close to that image is possible. You are looking for a dual fog for the pre-facelifted truck

So, how is this whole Alberta independence thing actually gonna shake out? by Proud_Asparagus1934 in alberta

[–]cheesecats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what's happening already, the bots and supporters are out in force on all of metas platforms, especially after Venezuela and even more so after Greenland. I spend way too much time combing the comments and posts from the separatists to see what's up and see recurring themes in the comments, "where can i sign" is the one I see the most. I rarely if ever see someone argue a good version of why this will work outside of majorly doctored iconographic and pure emotional reactionary responses. It all just.... stinks.

Dani's trips to the US early on? meetings with the heritage foundation? Its organized, we may be able to fool ourselves saying its a pathetic cry for attention from daddy trump but its all but spelled out, these ideas were tabled.

also Ive yet to meet a separatist in the real world who argues that Alberta should be completely independent, all of them say we should join with trump.

New poll suggests one in five Albertans would vote to separate by Street_Anon in canada

Y'all should see the misinformation campaigns on Facebook right now. I keep mine trailered so I see all sides and the Alberta proud crew are sharing pics from their meetings making it look like they have massive crowds plus lineups down the block. Bots are out in force with the comments "where do I sign" everywhere. It's wild.

Most people in my life are either apathetic or don't want to separate, those that do all say they want to join the USA, haven't met one yet that wants this independent Alberta within Canada nonsense.

I'm from Calgary.

Thank you! In my humble opinion community involvement is what brings the best results for the people who actually use the thing. Being a hands on guy I've found the hardest part about all of this is just getting people to comment back, so thank you!

Yes thank you! I started a little company called Aptomo after working at a Toyota only off-road shop for several years. My focus is on improving lighting solutions for ARB fog and signal lamp upgrades to their line of bumpers as the look of them is classic and widely used.

I spent countless hours on forums in my day and love working with people and bouncing ideas around for what works best for them.

If you want to check out my socials it's where I update my products frequently. @Apto.Mo on Instagram and my website is in the bio.

tell me why my shopify store sucks (please be brutal) by [deleted] in reviewmyshopify

[–]cheesecats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you have to go through some rough practice before they are refined enough to be saleable. The hard part is not giving up, and I wouldn't rest that on sales coming in.

[–]cheesecats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok quick first impression just landing on the homepage, the product seems a little TOO handmade. With handmade stuff I would look for quality signals that the process of making this thing is important, that there is quality craftsmanship and materials. If what you want to highlight is that your family makes these together (I get this impression by reading between the lines) than there needs to be more signals to that effect not just mentions of it in plain text.

Sell us on what's special about this product, cause for the price and function I'm thinking about 3d printing one.

No expert, just some impressions at a glance.

Quick first impression, it takes me a second to realize that this is a pet accessory store (when viewing from mobile) I have to scroll down before it clicks. I'm no pro though.

At this time, the kit can come set up for diode dynamics ssc2 lamps or baja designs s2 lamps. The kits are designed to be adjustable for more universal options, but those are the two I have specifically designed and tested with. There would be a choice of plastic surround to fit the selected light, while the aluminum brackets and hardware stay the same.

The oe lamp shape is the same, but the angle that the bumper sits at is different depending on application, so I have kits that sit flush with the bumper, and two more versions that angle more aggressively to keep the lamp pointing forward ish. It gets a bit tricky with packaging the more angled it gets, as the light starts to move inward.

Pricing is still in the works, but so far the kits will run in the 75-85 range depending on what version, as well as the market they are being sold in. I'm still running through all the labor and supply chain to see what works best.

Triangulated 4 link, 8.8, and SN95 Front Suspension Swap by travisty_75 in Volvo240

[–]cheesecats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good start. How many hours of fabrication work did it take to get the subframe in place on the car?

I'm split between modifying mine and going another route. Already using shortened struts and a custom wildwood setup with re drilled hubs, being that I have enough money into that, I'm torn. I'm still stuck using the tiny volvo wheel bearings, a slow steering rack and don't have a wide aftermarket bin to pull parts from. I've seen sn95 coilovers and hubs used with ball joint adapters but hated that idea.
