Best post in a loong time. 😀

And never with positive consequences for anyone.

And they searched without a warrant...

Gorgeous x 4! 😀

I like the look of them, especially on Ruger, short barreled Vaqueros. My hands are size XLs and for the guns I just mentioned I really like, don't work well for my sized hands. Although several years ago at Land Run, I was on a posse with a big old boy who shot his very well and he had at least XXL size paws so it can be done...

This ^^^^^^^^^^^ all day long.

Just outside Marfa, TX...

I have used Gunbroker for years and never had a single problem. Currently bidding on more toys in fact. 😃

Wow. Thanks for posting this.

I prefer a 1/4 lb'r w/cheese. Haven't had a BigMac in years... kinda sounds good.

A diet full of McDonald's fast food is probably more dangerous to growing children than most everything else... 🙄

I may have what you need. PM inbound.

I had an email conversation with Fingers several years back that I remember quite well. I had some cap and ball questions. He was very helpful, but what struck me most was his his absolute wonderful demeanor even in his writing. I possed with him a time or 2 in Lenexa and I think Parker and he was an absolute joy to speak with in person and hang out with. A true gentleman and a man I wish I could have known better. Rest in Peace, Fingers.

Possed with him a time or two... pure gentleman. Rest in Peace, Fingers.

It freaking sucked. I fought DW for several years, trying everything, changing everything, bla bla bla. I'd get it so ramdomly I could never pin point the cause. Sometimes a bump, sometimes a pothole, sometimes a smooth paved road! I broke the factory Dana 30 so I put in a Teraflex Dana 44, a REAL Dana 44, and a real axle, made right and DW went away forever. DW is a reason I'll not own a Jeep again. Scarey stuff at 35 mph let alone highway speeds!

A suggestion... Have you tried asking on one of the Knife forums? Those guys buy, sell, trade knives constantly. Seems they are much more addicted to steel than even we are sixguns. 😁

You can order a Mossy Oak Bantam 285 from Buck Knives currently. Mossy Oak not close enough to Muddy Water camo pattern?

Agree. I won't do car payments for any reason. They suck the life right out of a person.

And these days it is super easy to hit that 20K mark. Lift, tires and wheels, winch, lights, bumpers... In '99 a buddy called me. He had just bought a brand new TJ and wanted to know if I'd like to pack a bag and hit some Colorado Jeep trails. Of course I did and 12 hours later we were in 4 low. That TJ, with the front sway bars disconnected went everywhere easily. Even with the street tires it had. No lift, nothing extra. Just a plain Jane Jeep. I had been wheeling in the Rockies at this time for about 10 years in my built 76 CJ5 and was absolutely amazed at what my friend's stock Jeep was capable of. We took it places we should not have and it did it easily. Careful tire placement makes obstacles safer and easier, BTW 😀. A stock Jeep will do incredible things off road with an experienced driver and spotter. That said, a built Jeep with lockers, lift, 35s+... hard to stop that beast.

I really like the Toyota FJ Cruisers but they are bringing more $ than Jeeps now! Only made for 7 years... you can find them with 200K on odometer and still priced at 15K around here.

I'm a life long Jeep guy. Got my first Jeep at 15, a CJ 5. I've had plenty and have always done my own work on them. While they are fun and perform very well off road (lots of Jeep owners don't actually know this) Jeep longevity just ain't there. I just sold my 07 Wrangler and for the first time in decades I am Jeepless. While I miss owning and driving one, I do not miss the maintenance. If only Toyota made Jeeps. 😁 Today's prices for new Jeeps is beyond ridiculous. They're priced about 25K higher than they're worth. And yes, as previously mentioned, people stupidly pay that money, all for an image usually. At some point the automotive market will correct itself but only if the consumer stops paying stupid money for new vehicles.

Back to the top.

AARP started badgering me two months before I turned 50. I started putting "return to sender" on their mailers and dropped them back in the box. Their junk mail has diminished considerably but not 100%. To hell with them. I'll look into AMAC though.
