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!"

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazon Amazon

^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!)
