That thing on irocs would be sick...its crazy when I had those attitudes on my f150 they did great lol but I guess that clay wins everytime

I never wanted to be a mechanic lol I prefer keeping it as a hobby but the pay was right at the time and now its not

Don't do it. I wish I would have did something else. Granted, I can get a job anywhere and I make decent pay since I'm a Diesel tech but I plan on getting out of the field as soon as I can. Its a dying trade and the pay has gone done for the past 5+ years..

I think every trade is dying right now. I do heavy equipment operating for local government and we have been taking pay cuts and loss a lot of benefits along with no raise in 6 years. But I'm happy to be working and not unemployed.

Well the good thing is im affiliated with them...my boss is good friends with mr raulerson...and they have no control over the temple terrace section of raulerson(this is where the trails and that sugar sand was drew) so we can always get in somehow....speaking of that I made a new hill climb to get in and someone moved all the trees out of the way!
