That's a great ride !! After owning a 4runner then a jeep wrangler jk I try and tell everyone what a pile the jeep is compared to about anything . They look cool but every rock finds the front glass . Usually 3 a year .They have multiple issues from the junk heads that fail to the oil pumps that are a two stage design and get stuck . Then you've got the rocker arm and lifters that fail and take out the cams . The thermostat that requires replacing regularly as it trips a code for the engine not warming up fast enough. The oil filter adapter cracks and will send water or oil down the back of the transmission. They are extremely labor required . You can look up all the issues mentioned for yourself there's plenty on the jeep forums . I'd hate to see you get rid of a awesome ride and get into something with so many known issues . I really should have just bought another 4runner

Some turkey from the muzzleloader elk hunt with dad

I know it's not a gun most would spend any time or money on but it's what the wife wanted a sks . I had one when we first got together over 25 years ago. Now I'm making it hers with a new stock . I'm still fitting and waiting for the matching hand guard . It still needs cerakote in some sort of pink and grey/ black .

I bought 4 calls from Jacob ( IA born's son ) there all just a little different and they sound great . I sent one to my dad ,one to his buddy Aaron in Texas who let's me come out to his place and hunt for free and the other to my buddy Chuck who came out to give me a hand on my dad's and Aaron's elk hunt The last one I kept for myself hopefully I'll get it figured out 100% before I get another turkey tag.

There usually in with the turkey and the javalina .

I'm looking for a shop to do a 4 wheel alignment on my ram 2500 4x4 . My wife thought it was a good idea to have Big-0 do it. Needless to say it's not right and the steering wheel is off center about 1/4to 1/2 turn . Yes it's usually a simple fix to adjust the drag link to center the wheel but Ram in all there wisdom thought welding the adjuster nuts to the adjuster was the answer to the recall for the link coming loose. The truck is a 2018 diesel 4x4 I'm on the east side of town in Gilbert. Really don't want to take it to the stealership for anything that they would plug into the computer for the emissions recall for. They are doing this as the trucks come in for service.

You know you're not going to shoot it ! It's one of the guns you buy to admire. Though nice I like to shoot them and doing so brings down value.

So I got the new drag link adjuster from steer smarts its $135 plus shipping and is a direct fit replacement for the welded drag link adjuster . The carli level kit is on order so that's new springs and shocks all 4 corners and the adjustable track bar to re center the front end after everything is added. The manager at Big O started out as a a$$ and didn't want to do anything . Said he was being nice about it just taking a look at it . So I said I'm being nice by calling and coming in to get it fixed as I could very easy make a much bigger deal outa it and take them to court. The truck was in the back about 3 minutes later and re- adjusted . I'm sure given the report it's still out of spec . But safe to drive till everything is in and the level kit is installed and re- aligned . Here are some pictures of how far the clamp was loose you can clearly see where the nut was and how far I had to go to tighten it . Also the tires that only had just over 9k miles. Big O didn't want to cover the tires ! I'm working on that with there regional manager. Discount tires was much better as I took the truck right over after big o and explained everything to the manager and even though he didn't have to cover the replacement due to a mechanical issue he did get me two new replacement tires at half cost and had transferred all the warranty to the new ones.

So after the recent rain which made the truck sketchy to drive . I crawled under it to take a look . What I found is surprising that the truck didn't come apart and have a major accident. My new tires are junk ! Bfg ko2s that have only been on for less than 5 months . That's a problem the inside edges are worn and scalloped . The truck had excessive toe out issues. So I was going to adjust it in and found that the bolt that is supposed to tighten the tie rod adjuster was loose and coming apart. Apparently BIG O didn't tighten it down and the adjuster was coming apart. I've got a appointment with the manager today to go over what was found and see how they want to proceed . It's going to be 2 new tires for sure . The adjuster for the drag link won't be here till Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm going to go ahead and put the carli level kit and adjustable track bar in while everything is screwed up . Just 1 bolt loose could have caused a major loss of control .

I haven't counted but there's probably 100 kids entered in the giveaway . Remember they don't have to be site members to enter! As long as they meet the easy requirements they can enter . It's open to all Arizona youth.

Way to make the best out of a tough spot. Hopefully your buddy will heal up from this . It's quite the painful thing to go through. Three surgeries and countless hours of rehabilitation myself .Tore everything in my right knee .

With parts coming in for my new build a 280ai I'm contemplating a change in actions .I currently have a new in the box rem 700 but wonder what could be.If I stick with the 700 action it will need extensive Smith work to get it where I need it (blue printing,side bolt release ,extractors, and bolt handle work) Do I just pony up and get a Defiance or kelby action and sell the rem . No matter what I'll be waiting for a stock from manners Parts I already have rem 700 action ,bdl bottom metal,trigger tech diamond trigger ,and the proof barrel will be here friday.The stock is months out. This is probably the last custom gun the wife will let me build . What would you do?

Added some color to the stock today . I was looking at blues but didn't like the test stock look . I think the green is a much better look . It still needs matte clear . Before and after.

I ended up buying a new adjuster for the drag link . It's the way there supposed to be made. Once it arrives I'll install it then I can get everything aligned correctly . The part was 150 .00 shipped.

Looking for a 16 inch 300 blk barrel pistol lenght gas port . Checking here before I order one . I'm in Gilbert Thanks Chris

Then I'd have to do a form 1 for a sbr. It's going to be a hog hunting gun so not really worth the added expense in the stamp. Besides I've already got two cans on a delay and everything else is going to go with those till the feds take a look . Not my first nfa items but still delayed 😑. Thanks though.

Well that didn't go as expected. They sure can align the front end of the truck once they get the new replacement adjustable drag link from ram . I've already looked into the vo6 link permanent fix and it's a free replacement part from the ram . They sell the part to those that don't know to get ahold of ram cares and file the claim and insist on the fix . I JUST DON'T WANT THE TRUCK GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE WILL ALMOST FOR SURE DO THE EMISSIONS RECALL . That's a absolute no go for me . Now network can get the part from the dealership on my $$$ and bill me to install it when it's a free replacement part.

Colorado has strict rules for sxs use and all but a very small number of places can u use it. It wasn't worth the time to take it . I'm not asking for any spots I'll due my own work . Just seeing if it's even worth bringing it is all . I'm by no means a road hunter and absolutely hate the guys that seem to just troll the roads at dawn and dusk in the hopes of shooting something. I'll take a look at some maps and onx and decide for myself.
