My place did an employee survey and, predictably, 50%+ are in favor of a hybrid/flexible plan forward.

So management was like, "awesome! thanks for the great data folks... we're not doing that. we need to be face-to-face, oh and bonus, we're still going to do that whole 'able to reduce our footprint' thing and we'll cram more people into an office. You're welcome!"

 

My company did a survey too. 52k employees responded. 96% were in favor of some form of wfh

 

52k employees?
We've got about 4-500 total. About 40 in the corp office in Houston. Probably 40-50% of our headcount is in the field & another 10% being lab personnel who don't qualify for WFH .

 

We've got multiple sites throughout the world. I'd say ~8-10k people work at the campus that I work out of.

Whoot! Rear springs shipped, paid for 4/16!

 

Sorry, no rants for a while.......

Here ya go.

4/16 I ordered Dobinsons rear springs for my Sequoia. A few days later I got an email they were backordered shipping 6/30. Monday, 6/28 I emailed asking if the date was still good.

NOTHING.

Tuesday I called sat on hold for 25 minutes before I gave up & sent another email, nada, Wednesday another 25 minute hold, Thursday a message through their webform NOTHING, today I called and was prompted to leave a message after being "#1 in line" for 3+ minutes within an hour three hours ago.

I reached out to Dobbinsons & they sent me tracking.

I was thinking about getting the Vivid forged rims, forget it, I'll never spend another cent with them.

 

Thems some heavy springs!

 

Whoot!

Springs! I hope it's not 1000000 degrees so I am able to install.

 

Springs!

 

put in car

 

I want to but see above.

 

bro

 

At least the humidity is low....
Currently 82* & 71% humidity here in HTX.

 

Picked up my rear sway. I expected the end links, bushings and other hardware like the Tundra. NO! just the bar.

Need to order bushings & end links

 

I hate humidity, unfortunately the garage is like the house minus ac.

It's 110 & at least 40%

 

40% humidity sounds lovely to me.

 

shut your mouf.

I hate humidity.

111/20%

80/41% nau.

 

Just picking the motherfucker up has me dying.

 

Hey Morgan, which way is up for the springs???????
I'm thinking flat side down but better I verify with my spring guru.






Swaybar hecho en Canada!

 

Went out to remove the rims. Not a single rear lug will budge. Not with air, not with me standing on a breaker bar.

WTF?????

 

My girth comes in handy! After standing on & bouncing up & down I got three of 10 off. 114 & 22% outside (more in the garage I'm certain) after 3 I started to burst into flames so came inside.

I wanna kill whoever overtorqued the shit out of these lugs.

 

4 of 5 off. Tried one on the driver side with the air gun, came right off. Hopefully the other 15 won't be such assholes.

 

hope you have a cold one waitin for ya

 

Cold water. No mind altering substances in 28 years.

Wrong again, flat up.







Breaker bar & jack handle was the solution. Front is worse, had to put it back on the ground, and apparently, the lugs have a cover, that slipped until it came off, I was not thinking, tried to pull it from the socket & BURNED THE SHIT OUT OF MY THUMB & FOREFINGER.

Wheeeee.

 

Fronts off. Need to buy 20 lugs locally. Not putting these back.

 

Must be getting philosophical in my old age,

Honesty, I'm glad it happened here to me in my garage as opposed on the side of a dark road in the rain.

(If it had to happen)

 

As much as it sucks, better to have it in your garage.

 

ugh

 

Hits keep coming. My 180$$$ clamp spring compressor does not fit. Figured I'll wait for the specialized "stick with clamps" needed to put through a hole in the bottom of the lower control arm to come and just do the "simple" shocks.


^tool

NO! first the old one was in there stupendously tightly so pita getting out and I managed to get the Bilstein in but not to where I can get the bolt in.

I put the truck down thinking the weight would push it up there, not yet. Gonna take it around the block and see if I get a break.

0 & my compressor died mid putting the front tires back on (275 70 20's are HEAVY!)

 

try this?

Mine is similar, could not get a good grip.

This is what people are using successfully:

It, sway bar bushings, end links and new lugs are coming today, problem is so are my Wife, Son & his girlfriend & Daughter and her girlfriend and I need the truck to pick all of them up at the airport at 6pm.

 

a progrssiv houshold!
luv it
