JFC, why is it so hard to find an aftermarket replacement seat bracket for an XJ? They're a known point of lovely Chrysler manufacture.

That'd be nice, I can fix that pretty easily. But the feet of my bracket are suffering from the result of being on the floor in salt country, and while I can't tear the fucker off because I have to drive it to work tonight, what I can see without doing so looks like a cracked weld in the right rear of the seat bracket.

Nthing the 'get a real doctor' part. Chiropractors are just half-assed massage therapists with a theory of illness that makes the holistic health people get skeptical.

Welp, points to Kastein. XJ's issue was a seat base mounting hole blowing out. Slapping a patch on now.

Negromancer posted:While the egg part is a complete rear end in a top hat move, this is just funny. I don't think I could be mad if I came back to my car full of popcorn. I never threw eggs at cars, but there was a while where one of my friends had a bunch of paintballs in his car that would get tossed(by hand, never actually firing them) at other cars. We learned our lesson when I was driving the car(with a clutch that was dead, got replaced 2 days later) and one of my friends thought it would be funny to throw some at a new H2. Guy ended up chasing us down and eventually caught up to us on a side street where I was blocked by another car and proceeded to get out of his car and punch me in the face a few times thru the open window. rear end in a top hat in the back seat who actually threw it didn't do poo poo to help me either. Strangely enough, I was not friends with that guy for much longer. Not gonna lie, guy in the H2's got my sympathy there. Don't gently caress with other people's poo poo for no reason. It gets your rear end beat on a good day. We just all got our asses chewed at work because someone among the dickwad just out of school idiots we've hired decided to grab all of the soda the guy who just got force-transferred into our department due to his side losing headcount keeps on his desk and write '<name> sucks' on all of the cans and stash them back in the boxes.

Negromancer posted:True, but I would at least laugh for a minute if I walked up to my car and it was full of popcorn. You'd be surprised. I've been playing paintball for a long time, and the shells can and do scratch impact-rated google lenses, and the fill stains all sorts of poo poo it shouldn't. The detergent in it bleaches clothes and plastics if it sits more than a few hours too. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it'd gently caress with clearcoat.

Rhyno posted:My friends took their car to WM for an oil change and after waiting for two hours they were told the car had a cracked oil pack and they couldn't change the oil. They brought it to my place and I crawled underneath to find the pan crunched and scraped. They'd owned this car for 4 years and had never been told the pan was damaged so we assume the WM techs did something. I lost a 91 New Yorker to them back in high school. Took it in to WM for an oil change because I didn't know any better at the time, slack-rear end tech hosed up the filter somehow. Soon as I took it on the freeway, the filter blew off and threw hot oil all over the exhaust manifold... cue engine fire. I liked that car, too.

If it makes you feel any better STR, I've got an interview in the morning for a bakery position. Corporate IT work is making me miss food service.

Jesus titty-loving Christ I hate previous owners. I knew my XJ had developed a mysteriously fast-spreading rust problem in the rockers. I did not expect that the rear corner of the rockers, on both sides, was actually tinfoil and bondo stretched over Great Stuff and then covered in bedliner. This loving guy, I swear. Well, I knew I was probably replacing the rockers anyway, and I needed to learn to weld, but I guess it's higher priority now. Any good suggestions for learning how to do bodywork for dummies?

Slow is Fast posted:Get a cheapo mig, something above harbor freight teir. Get a good roll of hobart wire from tractor supply. Get some cheap pieces of scrap to practice on while you fiddle with the knobs. Just go for it. Yeah, I'm not terribly worried about pretty. Gonna cover the bottom quarters with bed liner anyway since I spend so much time on gravel and salt that they're inevitably hosed. BrokenKnucklez posted:Watch Mills Fleet Farm ad, they run a special on the Hobart Auto Arc 130 for 350ish- Its a 110v unit, comes with a cart, regulator, helmet and machine, and a bonus, the Auto Arc 130 is "last years" Miller. Even when you pull the manual up online, it pops up as Miller and no mention of Hobart. I know we live in the same area - shoot me a PM if you want to try mine out. I need to get a bottle on mine, but I have flux core, and once you get poo poo dialed in, its smokey and has a little more spatter than MIG. Good call. I've got 220V available, but it's directly wired to the compressor.  I'll keep an eye out.

MrChips posted:The love of flight doesn't put food on the table I'm afraid. Also that love dies a quick death in this business...everything is so heavily scripted from the time you sign in until the time you leave that it can hardly be called flying anymore. Sounds exactly like me and professional cooking.

Rhyno posted:It tastes exactly like Captain Morgan but for 1/4 of the cost! I ran back two days later to get a few more bottles but they were cleaned out. Four more bucks and you could be drinking Sailor Jerry, and not wondering why you decided to dry-clean your tongue with overspiced shitwine.

I'm a big fan of HP's P420 cards, but they're not exactly consumer kit.
