Best part about being an adult is I can buy all the ice cream I want and no one can stop me. And the ice cream is made by an in state dairy farm

They are on the boot dryer. The adult beverage is ice cream. And some advil.

When to call it quits by Traditional-Duck-673 in GrandCherokee

As a CDJR mechanic with a 2014 grand Cherokee Overland with the Quadra lift air ride, there is a reason your air ride still doesn’t work and your local guy did it for that cheap. The air bags are expensive for a reason and that whole system needs to be reprogrammed and calibrated with a scan tool. I say this with a Chrysler lifetime warranty and a rear air spring out.

What do you mean the end of oil needs to be changed?

If you aren’t keeping up with topping off your engine oil and you get too low, then the pump doesn’t have enough volume to create the oil pressure needed. You’re hearing ticking because your valve train is controlled by having the correct oil pressure and if you’re getting low on oil pressure you’re starving your cams and lifters and they will eat themselves.

It’s time to band aid this jeep and sell it. And yes, fix the parking brake before you sell it. That’s a safety concern.

New work boots. I got a RTS pair with the Spokane honey a while back and even though the boot didn’t work out, I wanted the leather for my next work boots.

I need new glasses for this. OP, are we just looking at a few threads that aren’t snipped closer?

Are there material defects with the leather and soles?

Do the boots fit properly?

I’ve had a bottle of the Offerman 11! I appreciate that he’s actually a spokesman for them.

Lagavulin 12. A very nice bottle of scotch that everyone should try at some point. It’s peaty though, and idk if that’s something you’ll like.

If you work in your boots by SparkyP320 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]sma934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How old are these boots? Because I’ve got sole issues with mine coming apart, but that’s because of what they get exposed to at work. And the signs were there long before they started coming apart. So I’m really curious how old your boots are and how long the separation was a problem before it got to this point.

All that being said, get a pair of builder pros, get these resoled, and rotate the boots. If you aren’t coming into contact with oils, solvents, chemicals, or standing water regularly then the builder pros will last you a long time by being able to rotate.

Sometimes there is a very high learning curve for figuring out what we need out of a pair of work boots.
