I was discussing the fact that many Police do indeed discriminate against and target certain groups of people simply for what those people have or what they do purely out of jealousy - in this case Jet-Ski's (which are hated by many Police). I gave other examples to help provide reasons as to...

So do you believe that cops are never guilty of harassment because their just "doing their job"? Why is that so often you see a cop following a sportbike, or sports car, or badass truck - not pulling them over, but just waiting for them to do anything wrong? I had that very thing happen to me...

On top of being a Tool & Die Maker I'm also a business owner who's generally dressed and groomed well - especially on the day in the example I gave above. I mentioned my girlfriend at the time was with me, she's gorgeous to the point where the cop seemed unable to stop from constantly...

I have to disagree about the cops "just doing their job" and "if your not doing anything wrong they won't mess with you". I think jealousy is a massive issue with many Police (not all), if you have something they don't or are doing something they can't (for example their wife or job won't let...

darkness has returned!

My F350 Turbo Diesel & Car Hauler

Have you checked the tongue weight of the trailer loaded with the ski's? Too little tongue weight can cause issues just like too much can cause other issues. The weight on the tongue should be in the 10% to 15% range of the total weight of the trailer (including all items to be carried). If your...

A 7' x 3' x .100" thick piece of aluminum is apx 30 lbs. Being a Tool & Die Maker myself I certainly don't see why a form Die couldn't be built? It would be low production so you wouldn't have to make the Die out of exotic tool steels, most of it could be cheap filler blocks like Hot Roll with...

The 2012 destruction has begun! :wink:

A couple days ago every time I went to post I couldn't even see the default text color the forum was choosing for me, I changed the text to white because I was using the black background. On a motorcycle forum where I'm a Moderator we use what appears to be a similar bulletin board, but on there...

Great to see people starting out in manufacturing from scratch and building it into a reputable business. My employer started in his garage 35 years ago with only a couple manual machines and now does something in the range of $100 Million a year in business, has over 300,000 square feet, and...

The business I work for just did a $2 Million dollar expansion to 1 of the 2 plants, is aquiring the building next door to the other plant at the start of 2013, and increased the total number of employees by 25% last year to over 300 (mostly day shift). The only real remaining place for...

I've read that the combination of Chinese wages rising so fast (average wage increase of 17% per year currently) and higher fuel costs for shipping is finally driving massive amounts of manufacturing back to the USA. I can believe that because the shop I work for is a metal stamper (punch...

Nice looking cover! Looking at the CNC and the tool holders in the cart it looks like your using a 40 taper CNC of some type (looks like a VMC), do you mind saying what model your using? (I'm just a curious Tool & Die Maker who's run a range of 3 axis VMC's myself)

jlane330: Was your van ordered that way from GM or is it a conversion? I've never seen a 4x4 van with a Duramax (in person) and was thinking that would be a pretty awesome tow vehicle for those of us that also have to deal with snow in the winter!

I'm considering building a trailer myself, but have yet to check on what the legal formalities are concerning it in Illinois. What did all of you have to do to get your home made trailers safety & weight certified to be eligible for registration where you live?

Very Professional looking install!

LOL, my bad! :banghead: I was at work when I asked that question - the computer I was using, combined with the companies 'anti-everything' security software, wasn't showing the 2004 info across the top of the video.

Did you mean 96-07? I was mainly curious what hull he was using because it seems like alot of the 07 vs 08 Superjet debates I've read seem to imply that the 08+ hull is more difficult to do tricks on (rivers and lakes, no surf). I was thinking how much more impressive it would be if he was...
