That was my concern...

I don't think there is a 1/2" option though. I've got a 14mm impact socket with swivel built in so I should be good with enough extensions.

You can drink that, as long as you aren't pimp'n.

I'm hoping a week of soaking in PB Blaster with a 4 ft pipe will be enough - that's how long my floor jack handle is :tup:

You have to look at it from their perspective. It’s all about time spent. $40 doesn’t cover much.

Now it's mostly white owners who hire Mexican laborers at the lowest possible wage (often it's less than minimum because the workers aren't legal). So they never get workers with any sort of work ethic and they have weekly turnover.


The company I use does payroll tax on their workers and only uses people that can legally work in the US. It was the main driver for me picking them.

You are more than likely to break a 3/8” extension.

Not yet, but I told her the spoiler company only has a 30-day return policy and if we waited too long and something was wrong with it, we would be screwed.

The only 19mm I have that fits the spacer is 3/8". I'm a little concerned. My 1/2" is for the impact and too thick.

FPenvy 09-19-2018 11:16 AM

why do i feel like i'm always late to the party with any money making opportunity.

GTR forum found a thread on medical weed stocks. theres a list of some that just went to the moon last month due to the coming recreational legalization in canada next month.

one went from 50-140 in august and last night 140-233 at the moment wtf. rich getting richer. :shakeshead:

I might have commented on the wrong post. I thought we were talking about the demon bolt.

Question: how do you determine the rates on swift springs when there is no number present?

I’m looking at buying a set of powertrix coil overs (RT). The fronts have 120 on them but the rears only say “rear”. I haven’t had a chance to see them in person either. I’ve searched and still can’t find any info online, unless I missed something. Oh and they are the orange ones. Thanks all!!!

They're building a medical weed place in Waynesburg.

killrain 09-19-2018 11:24 AM

I’m also still trying to catch up on this thread.

Everyone’s just :postwhore: and I keep falling behind.

I would call Powertrix to see what they say.

Sorry but when you pay your workers $5/hr or less and send 2 of them to spend 45 min on my yard once a month (if that), that's a ******* stellar profit margin for that type of business.

The problem is the ones that have payroll only run it for half their employees. They charge Westlake $80/mon and send the legit employees to them. Then charge less and hire a bunch of illegals for cash only for most every other neighborhood. They know how to work the system.

Haha 3/8" extension for the demon bolt. If I used one of those 3/8" extreme grip sockets, the first attachment would be a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. Still worried the adapter or socket would fail. Not worth the trouble to attempt it.

The 14mm built-in swivel I have is for a 1/2" socket :tup:

I was referring to them charging for a second cutting in a month. You have to remember they have travel time too.

No, fùck that. They come like one time between Nov-Feb. That should cover at least 3-4 extra visits during the spring and rainy season. I don't have a problem with extra costs if you tell me about them beforehand. But when you try to backdoor them I get mad real quick.

Clearly, you're not dealing with the same scam artists I did. Three different companies tried that.

Also, I know they have enough neighborhood work that travel between jobs is negligible. And most of the companies have multiple crews with a foreman that owns or at least possess all the equipment. Does your company pay you to drive to work and home everyday?

Ordered a personalized plate for the Lexus :D

Wanted to support Texas Parks and Wildlife so I got their largemouth bass plate (75% goes to support fishing related programs within the agency). But I also wanted to honor the Z. I think I did pretty well overall :tup:

They do when I’m loaned out to a client. Claimed mileage for almost two years.

My company is pretty legit. They bill me for each trip. I get an itemized invoice for the month and I pay monthly.
