Right now I'm just that a$$ hole that goes and disconnects peoples electricity for non payment. LOL.

We do disconnects, reconnects, and even get automated reads off of meters to start/stop customers bills. Dont pay your bill, ill be there to cut it off. Every now and then we get some cool things that our customers attempt to do to the meters.

Check this out. I don't know who did this, but I hope it hurt. LOL

OMG!!!!!! Are kidding me??? LOL!! You shouldn't have any problem finding the dumb azz that did that........just check all the emergency rooms in the area! I work with big power at my job. We build equipment for underground coal mining, which I think I've told you that before, but I have gotten ate up pretty good a couple times pretty good. I guarantee that genius is tasting copper in his mouth big time!

Absolutely! Lol. I get hit every so often, but obviously this is all 240. I usually get hit when I'm checking for back feed. I don't use the volt meter, I just touch the line side blocks with my thumb. If it gets me, I know there's back feed. Lol. Its just a lot quicker that way.

Edit- Glenn u got that right! Lol. Some really are creative tho with a soldering gun

Nate, I mighta just gotten a raise on Monday. LOL
I'm sure you earn every penny Travis. "Riding the lightning" isn't for everybody. And yeah, that dipstick probably saved himself a ton on electricity and spent it all on emergency room bills. "C'mon man, everybody knows you gotta wrap them vicegrips in electrical tape first", lol.

Detroit lockers, Yukon install kit, dynatrac free spin kit, dynatrac ball joints. I haven't decided whether to run Yukon ring and pinion or OEM Ford yet.. Also havent decided if im going to run some sort of billet u-joint in the D60 axles or not. Might put some super joints in them. I need to look into axle shaft options for the 10.5 too. I know there's a company out there that will make us 300m axle shafts.. I think it was RCV Performance..

Oh come on now, the 3.7 is the most reliable motor around...

These are the humble words of MisterCMK sent on the go...

Something doesn't look right about those two photos. How are the vice-grips suspended there? Look at the jaws in each photo. Those photos give me the creeps. I can handle electric fences, but when it comes to power lines I try to keep my distance.

Congrats on the raise Travis!
