Ok, so why can’t we go capture our own little place and create our own laws and if anyone says anything we give them the finger?

So they totally screw up their own countries with their way of living and now they come to ours to do the same. If they don’t like our freedoms, they need to go back to their dunes on the other side of the world.

The LBGTQ+ community needs to do a pop up pride parade on one of their religious holiday weekends.

Musta been national work on your Toyota week this week...
Yesterday was front strut replacement day on my Tacoma.
What a chore.
Between the rust and loctite some doof used the nuts, having to cut the top studs off to get the assembly out because the press in studs spun out because of the loctite I didn't know about and having to improvise a spring press to disassemble/reassemble the struts it took nearly 6 hours to do both sides. All that and the only thing really wrong with the old shocks was the eye bushings were shot.
About a month ago I did all 4 ball joints, CV axles, CV axle support bearing, seal and brake rotors/pads and I don't believe it took that long....

Mine has SPC adjustable upper control arms (which means high quality ball joints) so uppers we good but lowers were loose. Not as loose as I imagined but as we all know, when they separate it is catastrophic.

It came with the UCAs and Bilstein front struts with Sonoran Steel springs all around. It has Tacoma knuckles/CVs/hubs from a manual hub donor.

Sway bars are deleted. People get emotional about that but honestly the slight trade in cornering (snicker it’s a truck) is more than made up for in ride smoothness.

It’s my second factory E-locker 4runner so I was lucky twice.



My SIL has a Taco like yours, I love them all

I have noticed that mine does better when removed from the rifle and placed at least 8-10” to the side of the barrel and 10-15” or more from the muzzle. No dropped shots, even when suppressed.

There were a lot of comments on his youtube channel back a couple of years ago, including from me. We were betting on how long it would take for him to be accused of something now that he was speaking out.

Do you happen to have original box?

Do you know if this particular scope is covered by the Tangent Theta warranty?

Are you the original owner?

Thanks,

This is the screw hole distance shown on the ADM-170-S, which Accu-shot specifies fits the Super Cal:



1.100” center to center.

Through the pink into the stink?

Has to be. I think just I bought 40. Other guy in this thread bought 50?

got to be more than 250

I think they came in cases of 12

I don’t think we had 100 cases..but I’m prob wrong. Was 4/5 years ago.

The mark up on them was very low we pretty much just passed them through because they were sold “as is”. Didn’t want people bitching that it’s out of spec and costs X

actually I think there is a thread on it..I’ll try and find it and take a count.

This one too.

I take it that you don’t want to spend the crazy money for the ADM-170-S that accu-shot offers for the Super Cal?


Or this:


Or this:


None of these are “budget” though.

I appreciate the offer, but I’m really wanting to get a Iray RH25V2.

223 but good 223 is over a buck a round too. The stuff that’s cheaper is shit.

Actually, all cheap factory ammo is shit.

Idk how tariffs will affect this but PPU 75 gr 223 has historically been some of the most accurate 223 ever out of my guns.

Historically it was always right around 75 cpr.

I guess if they knew every swinging dick was buying and using ammo, maybe they would shut the fuck up.

bump
I gotta get this thing gone. Need more ammo!

I was running them in a 223 with long throat mag fed.

I haven’t worn out a 223 barrel yet so not sure. And I don’t keep track of rounds fired but rough guess is my highest round count 223 has around 4000-5000 rounds through it and I just won a match with it last weekend so still shooting great!

All of this stuff is complicated and inter-related. I agree with ToddM - you really have to go back to the 1980's. Corporations realized that they could substantially reduce the cost of producing goods, lower their prices and actually increase profits by moving production overseas. It was a lot cheaper to pay a worker in Mexico or Vietnam $2 an hour to build cars or make sneakers than to pay an American worker $20/hr. And if suddenly Nike could actually lower prices and increase profits by moving production overseas, it wasn't long before its competitors (Reebok, Adidas, etc.) followed.

Ultimately, tariffs aren't going to solve this structural problem. In the short term they're basically a regressive tax that increase the cost of goods to consumers. But in the long term, even if they are successful in bringing back mfg. to the U.S., costs are not going to come down because U.S. wages are still significantly higher than in the third world countries where these goods are currently produced. So any money the mfg. saves on avoiding tariffs ends up being offset by the higher production costs they are faced with by making their products back in the U.S.

And unfortunately corporate greed is basically built into the system. It is human nature that people act in their own self interest. So when you tie the compensation of CEO's and top executives to the stock price and short term profitability of their company you encourage behavior that maximizes corporate profits above everything else. That's how they get bigger bonuses and their stock options become more valuable. And if the consumer or the employee working on the production line gets screwed - the CEO can always console himself by buying a bigger yacht.

Polyaspartic, hire a pro. Thank me later. Alternatively, I know people that have just placed those interlocking tiles on top of their concrete and have had good luck! Looks good. I need to do mine but I keep having cracks now showing up all over my slab!!!
