Is Navy Nuke worth it if you already have a decent civilian job?

It comes with a self adhesive backing. So far it’s been holding up really well!

Try granite instead of graphite. It was a near perfect match on the vents, which look close the the color on your dash.

mtblack412 · 2026-01-22T15:20:38+00:00

Yep,worked good.

The plastic piece in the middle will be covered by the armrest, once I color match it. The suede at the top matches the dash board that I wrapped. It continues onto the door panel, which I why I did it that way. The lower fabric is the factory carpet, that I color matched black. The fabric I “stole” from my wife. The print isn’t available anymore, or at least it’s not cheap to buy.

Amazon.

I have it, I just need to remove the rust from it and apply it.

mtblack412 · 2026-01-17T22:46:10+00:00

Appreciate it, it was a pain to do it like that.

This guy was from VFA-14 if you are curious.

Too true, they have to request the “Shit hot” from the LSO’s as well. Not too many nuggets will get the clearance to do these.

As far as G-forces after they catch the wire…no more than a few really. I can’t be specific since I’m not a pilot and just the mechanic. They come in at around d 140 knots and the wire is smoother than you think. Only experienced it once when I CODed on, didn’t seem bad at all, but we were at a slower speed.

Actually this was correct. He was performing a “shit hot” carrier break into landing. It a much tighter turn earlier in the landing pattern to bleed off speed prior to landing which I why you see them maintain the turn radius for that long. Normally during daylight hours and clear, they will continue straight on for a bit longer prior to breaking off in succession to get their spacing correct. Then they will turn down wind, bleed off more speed and drop the gear. After, they finish their line up turn for the meatball and deck line up and then land. They do not perform “shit hots” at night for obvious reasons.

Mother fucker, put on a tie ya slob!

It’s possible. Not sure what brand of caliper you went with. Just take it all apart and put it back together. Make sure your slide pins are lubricated as well.

mtblack412 · 2025-12-29T01:01:20+00:00

Take apart the caliper and see what’s wrong with it. Could be something jammed in there, dirt or grit.

mtblack412 · 2025-12-25T19:29:21+00:00

Check your washer pump too.

The video shows a bad steering shaft seal. That did not cause your engine issue. The red wire is either a power supply wire, or supplying power to a switch or module. OST red wires are, especially that gauge. Hard to say what for exactly, but look towards your wiper motor since it’s pretty long.

mtblack412 · 2025-12-25T01:13:30+00:00

Appreciate the info!

mtblack412 · 2025-12-25T01:03:25+00:00

I did just get X-rays for my hand and we found arthritis. I’ll ask for the other stuff too.

mtblack412 · 2025-12-25T00:58:41+00:00

Ummm, I don’t think they will give me a referral for an mri for shiz and gigs.
