Its not too horrible.......Been much worse before. J

102* and some dust...............shit...... J

Free upgrade for this cat Rob? Very nice brother. J

Wow DEAD H0P J

Lookin at all sorts of stuff........Trust me the SRT8 jeep is an idea.......but I have my go fast car coming too. The enclosed trailer idea is useless for me. I never know when I am going to need to get alot of shit.....so for me it wouldn't do any good. J

Well right on then............I gotta get back, get the house, and settle in...........plus going to Vegas and outside LA before I do a damn thing..............Once the truck is purchased I'll hit you up man. J

ROFLMAO so ur 40 mins from the ten and you drive the speed limit? J

I'm hoping to be done by August..........I may need to call in some hands. I buy beer, food (or cook) and if too much beer is had a couch/guest bed. J

Yes. Right now I am going to be looking for a quad cab pickup. Just debating on where to install the processor, the batteries, and amps. Going to do a wall more than likely...........If for no other reason than lack of space. Not comfortable with a blow thru, and with the xterra already having little to none of its cargo area, the other half would like me to cover the bed and make it usable (groceries and shit). Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. J

Almost at that year...............Decision time is closing in. J

Glad to see the 'vehicle' use debate is not limited to my house.............. J

Humid.......Sandy.......Hazy.........fuck Iraq. J

As a note to Rob, FedEx Smartpost or anything else FedEx, UPS, or DHl tends to have MASSIVE issues with APO's. Just use USPS in the future for APO's and it will alieviate ALOT of issue for ya brother. J

Yeah, i understand that and that makes total sense. But lets but this in real context. Yes, i am the second hand owner of this 270xp which was promised by kyle that kyle would still give warrenty to whoever bought it from the first hand owner. Me and the first hand owner had a long talk about this. Anyways, i finally get this awesome alternator, put it in my car and things are great. My volts are sitting high and i am loving it. The alternator snaps, which isn't my fault. This also makes it hard to go to work when you don't have an alternator. So i call and leave a voicemail to kyle. No response that day. Call again and leave another voicemail. No response again. Call the day after that, finally talk to kyle. He talks to me about helping me out and is awesome. Plus i am not "acting like a child" because there was not reason to. He tells me to call a month later to get a RMA number because they need to fix the casting. I call again when the month is exactly up, again no answer. Voicemail. Then i call everyone at DC power, no one answers. Then i call the "general" desk and get this guy named Steve. Now in talking to Steve things are good and i explained i already talked to kyle and that he said he would take care of me and all i needed was an RMA number. Well Steve asks for more information about my car. I told him i was a second hand owner. That's when he shut me down and told me that i shouldn't even be calling. That the warrenty is void and wouldn't listen to me after that. So i got upset and raised my voice. Trying to explain to this guy Steve that i just need an RMA number and that kyle said i would be good. So at this point i am upset, trying to get to work, and screwed. So then the next day or so, i "Called out" DC power for "lying" to people or telling people when things were going to be done when they actually weren't. Such was the case with the guy who waited 2 years for a specialized bracket and alternators. Anyways, i am not saying it was the right thing to do but i did it. Then after that, rob tells me that he won't fix my alternator and that after i had already sent it to him, he was going to send it back to me, broken. So then i called the original owner and the ONLY REASON DC power fixed my alternator is because the Orginal owner told him that i would just send it to him and he would send it back to DC power and go the long way. So honestly, you can tell me that i was acting like a child. That's okay that you think that. And honestly everyone can think that. But when you are trying to get to work everyday to pay bills and make ends meet, swapping family cars, tell me how you wouldn't be frustrated. I know that you won't understand but honestly. You don't know both sides of the story, not even a full one side of the story. So please stop acting like I am conducting myself like a child, and please stop trying to put me down and say i am wrong. You can if you want, but at least here i am asking you to stop. Oh well. I was just upset because of DC power not answering or returning phone calls, giving me a product that isn't supposed to break but ends up snapping, and having to wait for so long. I am happy with the alternator but not with the customer service. That's all. I have both sides of the story...........and here's my feelings. The CS, yes was not perfect. Shit happens. It still beats the piss out of an Iraggi Alt, you got what you wanted, and its resolved now right? If so then leave it the fuck alone man. I understand needing you wheels for work to pay the bills and shit like that. Thats why you make an EMERGENCY FUND so when shit like this happens and you need time off work beacuse of this, you can stay afloat until shit turns back around. Piss poor budgeting on your part, does not constitute and emergency on DC Power's part. Or anyone else's for that matter. Just look at it as a learning experience on money, on patience, and how to do shit. DC already has taken their CS lessons, and they are getting shit right. Be patient. J

Okay you now have a 'new' reward. EARN it before you get it. Don't get it and 'earn it' AFTER the fact. Getting a reward before the work is done does nothing but remove your motivation to do well. You talk about being a bigger dude for over 30 years, and with the FF intake, is it fair to assume that you have no lil lady in your life? Might the added reward of a sexy lil lady entice you? J

That is all. J

Bro lemme put it like this. You and I get a speeding tickets, both for 78 in a 65. You aregued and bitched to the cop cause u were running late and treated him like shit. I was polite and just waited, knowing full well what a PITA this was going to be. We both fight the ticket. The judge gets a deposition on both of ours. Yours says you acted like a fucking child and never even owned up to speeding, nor did you apologize. Mine says I admitted I was not following my speed, and I am sorry for allowing myself to speed. Now which ticket do you think the judge is more likely to allow to be reduced? Prolly not yours. Same concept man. Sometimes people get a fucked up deal and get really taken care of. Above and beyond anything they could of expected or even asked for. Other times people get fucked WAY worse, and they are lucky to get an apology. Its life man. Learn to deal with it now, or expect a VERY dissapointing adulthood. J

Just a mental side note..............trying to hunt for points to get promoted is nuts. J

Ok who is in the NSFW pic???? GODDAMN J

Might be the best advice givin. definitly gonna use that one. gonna give the wife the SAZ3k! I say this beacuse my 'reward' for busting my ass the first 1/2 of my tour was my dd 9512's.............my end of tour reward is a quad/extended cab for my daily driver. Its driving me to kick some ass. I have slacked lately due to circumstances beyond my everyday control at times though. I can get behind what your saying minus the cardio. I nave always been taught that cardio is most effective right after you wake up on an empty stomach. It makes the metabolosim jump start. J

Curious............whats the new project? J

Anything is possible.............But I don't read SMD any more. Crashes my computer every damn time. J

Shit when ever i get free stuff thats the best customer service i can ever get..dont care if i waited a year free is free... Agreed. They realized THEY made a mistake, and made it right with the customer. THAT is GOOD customer service. GREAT customer service is not having a problem at all. J

A sad day indeed. J
