After my girlfriend backed into that Ram I figured it was time to upgrade my reverse lights. Went with the Diode Dynamics XPRs. Damn those things are bright. Really pleased with them. That was my Black Friday purchase.

Also free picture of me hauling 1200 lbs of turkey to hand out.

Thank you for helping out the community.

im excited to see how bright the reverse lights are. My wife has OEM Denali tail lights that I had tinted, and the cheap led reverse lights I put in several years ago are finally needing replaced.

Only my work community I should have clarified. We bought roughly 2000 lbs this year to give to our employees.

I will try and get some pics but these things are really bright. I flashed myself twice on accident and saw spots for 20 minutes it seemed lol

That’s nice of the company. We get a Christmas party, I wish they would give us a turkey instead.

We get a turkey for Thanksgiving and a ham for Christmas. $25 or so Amazon giftcard as well for Christmas. It is a good company for the most part. I just want to do something else.

Don’t think twice, do it. I was with the same company for 13yrs. I was comfortable, made great money but was stuck. I was a Senior tech and we had a few of us fighting for the top. I left that company just to move up. Looking back I should have done it sooner but I was scared, but i was also loyal. My supervisor was like family to me, he was there when my daughter was born and dressed like Santa during Christmas.

I've been applying for jobs for about a year or so and haven't had a single bite. The one thing I am enjoying right now is the ability to go to night school. I have been here about three and a half years and there is no where to move up to.

at least they give you time for school...

i spent the last two years being expected to complete a masters-level course "on my own time" as a prerequisite to promotion despite them giving me literally three full-time positions' worth of work because nobody else was available. needless to say, HQ ended up deleting three weeks of earned vacation time because i was over the limit at the cut-off date, and then denied me a promotion because that course wasn't complete. i'd apply elsewhere if i didn't have three more years under contract.

@_zebra I guess let me rephrase that. This job I don't have a lot of evening calls. So I can leave here and not really worry about anyone blowing up my phone. I used to be going to school to try and move up here at this job but decided that I no longer wanted to do that. I am still going to school "on my own time" albeit slowly and I have no idea really what the **** I am doing.

At work I don't do a lot of "work" so I do my homework instead. Either they don't care or they don't notice or a combo of the two.

Fuel filter change yesterday and a good cleaning today. Haven't washed it in probably 6 months, haven't cleaned the interior in that long either. It was getting too gross.
286,374 miles on it now, should be all I need to do closing out the year and into the next few months.

Also I fixed my map light buttons not working without pressing the cargo light first. Went to switch out the LEDs for halogens and suddenly none of the lights would come on even with the dome. Fuse TBC2C was blown. Replaced the fuse and now everything functions as it should. I think I blew this fuse during the change but now that everything works as intended I will not complain. Hopefully it stays like this forever.
