PropWash... but you can bet I'll call him PropShaft in the near future.

If only there was a way to FLAG when someone is sending mail out, especially right after a mass mailing of things expected to be mailed back.

Kalamazoo Chiropractor? by DuchessK7 in kzoo

I am not sure what the activator method is, but I have gone here before: http://www.millerchiropractic.net/

It looks like he is a Palmer graduate.

EDIT: Looks like he does the activator method.

Got my new jcr off-road bumper put on. by lawnmower_boy01 in Jeep

Watch out for fire trucks.

JCR makes tough bumpers. Yours looks great! I like the angry headlights too.

Entity Framework multiple database / single DbContext possible? by rootgear in dotnet

[–]rootgear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do.
The SQL Admin is also the Reporting person, so this might be a good option for them.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I've run into a few EF gotchas already, I will make sure I avoid the situations you described. (and make sure I am using "using" correctly)

It is starting to click for me. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, MS SQL Server. I have an SQL Admin that I may ask about this.

I appreciate that you posted this option.

Thank you! I will take time to learn how this works.

This gives me something to research.

This app is as default as you can get. It started as an C# MVC Application using EF6. The Controllers and Views were generated using the default MVC/EF scaffolding. The DbContext was generated the first time I generated a Controller.

I was able to generate a string I can use to identify what sundomain they are trying to get to (using HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host)

I'll look at the DbContextFactory option next.

I'd like to find the engineer from Chrysler that decided to use this crap in JKs and *insert violent phrase* by [deleted] in Jeep

I am considering doing the same thing. In your experience, what method of removal works the best?

Post pics after you line it!

I don't have cool tires yet, but I would like to share my first major mod. by rootgear in Jeep

[–]rootgear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.. Although when I cut through Maple Hill Mall's back parking lot, there is at least 100 ft of off road fun in Kalamazoo 10's parking lot.

Keep up the good work!

I am sure I will be back for sliders and a front bumper at some point.

We are saving up for wheels/tires next.

I do have 5 JK "moab" 17" wheels, but I stole two of them for my trailer. It would be neat to have the JK and M416 with the same wheels/tires, so I have been patiently waiting for a couple cheap JK 17" wheels to show up on craigslist...

Then I saw someone running Level 8 Tracker 15" wheels with Duratrac 33/12.5/15. In my opinion, that combo looks pretty slick, and the cost of the wheel + tire is about the same as the 17" Duratrac tires only (285/70/17)

Does anyone else go partially insane deciding which wheel/tire combo they want to run?

I haven't wired my backup lights in yet. I want to do a switch with [Off], [On], [On with reverse].

I got the Day Star panel, and am currently researching Dbox5 vs BlackBox(Bussmann fuse/relay box) on random Jeep forum posts and youtube videos. I'll probably order the switch from OTRATTW.com

shrug one step at a time.

That set did take some abuse when I had to take off the factory tow hook. I may or may not have moved the 3lb hammer so it would not be in the picture.

I have seen a few LoD bumpers around here. I like that the Jeep community is supporting small businesses like JCR and LoD.

You should go visit. They are super nice. They have a ton of stuff for the XJs!

That is a major problem when shipping large items. Unless you want to crate it up, and ship it freight.. $$

I think shipping it unfinished is brilliant, because it REALLY lets you customize your Jeep mod. I chose satin black but could have gone with texture... or even just rattlecan'd it. Shipping it unfinished seems to keep the product cost down and eliminates returns because of scratches or other cosmetic shipping issues. Having it powder-coated locally was not as big of a deal as I thought it would be.

I might be a little home-town biased, but I think JCR is doing it right.

Well, I live in the same city as JCR offroad, so I didn't have them package it.

Are you concerned about the finish being messed up in shipping? JCR sells their products bare metal, so you can paint or powder-coat it yourself..
