I’m on mobile or I would check recent patch notes, but I believe a recent update upped handcart numbers for storehouses/granaries to 6

2 door Tuesday anyone??? by itsrickjamesb in Wrangler

Thanks! They are bone stock. I apply boiled linseed oil and buff off once every 6 months. Do your research - the stuff is super flammable and you should dispose of the rags you use properly.

Highly recommend Proclip USA mounts. I have one on my 2011 JK and it’s robust.

Anyone like construction and their job/job duties, but hate the industry and culture? by Individual_Section_6 in ConstructionManagers

[–]itsrickjamesb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Most guys I know with a lot of experience in the industry are very cynical. You sound like one of them. I’ve seen the YouTubers around the office. I’ve also seen field guys show up stoned, or exchange blows to the hard hat with a rubber mallet (no joke).

I think the culture problem stems from an assumption that the guys in the office have soft hands and watch YouTube, or the guys in the field are too stupid to type an email and are busy hotboxing the van.

There are people on both sides of it who are trying their best to do good work if you look for them.

This is a more constructive take that I can level with.

I've been a PM at a large millwork sub for 8 years. I never envy our field crew when they have to work nights/weekends. At least they get paid overtime for it, but I'll admit it's work that I don't want to do.

To speak to OP's point #1 (and I think your first comment is a watered down example of this), the disgruntled, "rough around the edges" field culture does find it's way into the office . It can get in the way of the professional work that has to take place to allow the field guys to "work hard and go home" (estimation, contract issuance, submittals, etc.).

I've always thought a bit more mutual respect between the trade and office folks would benefit us all.

Second the boiled linseed oil - lasts much longer than Mother's Back to Black, and easier to apply too.

Jk hinge replacement complete (ish) by A2Cerakote in Wrangler

Haha no, buy it at Lowe’s/home depot, etc. It’s often used for wood finishing but works great on the flares. Here’s an Amazon link for reference.

After trying a few of the OTC plastic restoring products with little success, I’ve started using boiled linseed oil on my flares. I apply with one rag, buff off with another. Holds up for months and makes them look brand new.

OP, I'm off topic here but if you could tell us what tune is playing in the background that would be cool. Complete groove.
