creator, LMFAO.... in my town, a carpet-muncher is a female who prefers the intimate company of another female!And we are at least #2 to San-Fran in the rump roast, bone-in department.
well, the renter has left behind a pile of wood slabs (about a cord) & a broken down Ranger PU (blown tranny), with a truck box full of garbage. both were supposed to be removed today. left the oven & fridge messy, and fireplace full of crud. gave notice a day late (which technically binds you to the next month). I originally let them move in a few days early, & they were way late vacating. PLUS, I could demand they clean carpets, windows & blinds (they had a pet, plus they smoked). Also, they took a $25 box of scallops from our deep freeze(before I got it moved). despite all this, she wants me to BUY her surviellance camera they've wired in, & refund full damage deposit. I'm WAAAYYYY too nice to people. I'll give back the damage deposit, but i think the camera should stay.

OOkkkkkk. I figured this would be a GREAT place to ask this. haha
Time for new tires on the eff2fidday. And since everything else has been changed or upgraded, some new wheels as well.
Heres a pic of the truck and heres a pic of the wheels in 17"... Now. The only thing we cant decide on is the tires. Kinda lookin at the Bridgestone Revos in the stock hight as theyre the only revos that are E rated. Or my favorite the BFG ATs in 285/70 that are an inch taller than the revos at almost 33"s tall, but with the same weight rating..
Would that extra inch make THAT much difference in these trucks? I know it does in the jeeps, but the jeeps are a totally different animal, bieng underpowerd and all.
Any suggestions? Whats the hight/weight on the stock steeltex ats? I cant find any specs on it.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Itll be nice to finnally get some decent meats under that truck.

What are you guys running that you have multiple plotters? With that kind of volume I'd be running an Oce 9800. But then again, the base model goes for a PSD CC LB 4x4 & toy hauler. LOL. Company that does our heavy plotting runs 2 of them, fully loaded. Scanners, 2 paper drawers of 2 rolls each. Total they run about $115K MSRP. They lease and replace every 2 years.
They were plotting all of the big stuff that was being built in Fresno. Save Mart Center, St. Agnes Medical Center, Fed. Building. Wasn't uncommon for them to have their little Ford Ranger sitting on the axle making a delivery. They were running both plotters 8-5 non-stop, plus had a guy coming in like 5-midnight to run after-hours plots.
I've never worked in a huge volume shop like that. When I worked for another elec. contractor they'd run through a pallet (like 40-50 rolls) in one year. So probably one roll a week. We tend to reuse paper, either front and back, or just use another color to "redline" a dwg. A lot of checking on the screen. Got used to doing that when a fast plot turnaround from the bureau was 2 hrs.

I'm not sure on those wheels, but at least they aren't as ugly as some stuff out there. A little taller would fill the wells a little better. A poster was right on an rv forum, they look like roller skate wheels. A little too small. But you might lose a little power from heavier tires and mileage down a little.

Its really hard to know whatll look good on this truck untill its on it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
And, i dont think power is too much of an issue, its just mileage hes worried about.

I thought that sounded a little SF bay after I wrote it but my friend calls his new born a carpet muncher since he's always crewing on the carpet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
Aren't renters great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I have been pretty lucky so far and I hope it stays that way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I do think your way too nice with them. That deposit is there so you don't have to pay to get it back to the standards you started with. use it for the painting and cleaning that is needed.

ya, i thot you had an extra house or two kicking around in Arizona or sompin like that. we're probably the grow-op capital of the world. mostly run by organized crime. so the last thing you ever wannna be is an absentee landlord. some people hire agencies to look after it, and pay a fee.growers pay top rent, but they destroy your place with grow conversion & mold.
other than the PU truck & wood pile, it's not too bad. I used to rent and ALWAYS left the place as good or better than I moved in. I found a few landlords absolute peckerheads about refunding the deposit, or being super nit-picky about the condition (despite the fact it was worse than that when you moved in, but they always glaze over the pre-inspection). So I didn't want to be like them.
