Ive got a fire bowl made from an old round one which is why I was asking

Wouldnt happen to be an old round one would it?

Fire up in rim trail I guess

My wife said its sprinkling in Payson

I tried to get some welding done Easter morning before going to services. My cotton/nylon blend caught on fire. Normally when I catch on fire welding I can pat it out without missing a beat, but this time it got a little hot. 100% cotton for me. We have an ongoing competition in the shop on who can get the filler rod the smallest when tig welding. We have a collection of gloves with finger tips burned off!

Get him some cotton long sleeves. Leathers will kill a guy down there haha

When is the cc update day?

Make sure what ever you buy is capable of using gas. Flux core will only piss him off.

Photos do not represent glass quality. This is the reticle gunwerks came out with. You can go to their online ballistics program and figure out your drops using the reticle as well as the turret

Capped windage and g7 reticle.

Heck yeah buy a brand new one and lose 10k in the depreciation the first day. Wouldnt have a clue what to look for. Id have to pay Del to go with me haha

For kicks I was searching craigslist for fish/ski boats. After reading all that can be wrong with them my anxiety about killed me!!! Buying used boats would make me nervous

Make offer

1925 with rings, 1825 without. Someone buy this.

Tacoma is a glorified SUV.I hate tacomas but I have no idea what you're saying here A Tacoma is not a truck

Tacoma is a glorified SUV.

Lets hear about it

Get a po box in Payson

Not arguing as I could care less either way. Used diesel markets are different in every state. Lots of guys like to also compare towing heavy sh!t on flat highways with gas trucks. You start towing heavy from Phoenix to Payson/flagstaff you are going to struggle with a gas truck and depending on weight even diesels get there asss kicked. OP’s $30k budget really doesn’t buy you much of a truck these days which is sad.

I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles. You lose 15000 up front then get it back when you trade it in. Used diesels in Arizona demand a fortune. My dodge is worth more now then when I bought it.

TTT. Come up this weekend and we can go to the range so you can look through it!

What kind of maintenance are you doing that is costing you guys so much money?

Chevys are comfortable. I prefer solid front axle.

Contour?

Thats how I feelYou're a communist too Get over it
