To me Mopar is one of the best deals out there, I would imagine they've done 50 times the R&D most companies have , it has basically everything you need and it's a quick simple install, very straightforward and it works.
Sounds like shot gun primers in my area... might as well had been a ghost... if you did find them, they miraculously turned into gold.
My favorite rifle is a Ruger Precision Rifle in 338 Lapua Magnum. Have a 5x25 S&B scope on it. 1,500 yards is no problem. I shoot either 285gr Hornady Match or the Sierra 300gr Match. Try feeding this Beast. 100 rounds take about 1.25 lbs of powder.
Capitalist America (corporations) driving themselves into a recession seems mal-adaptive doesn't it? Production diminishes, they have mass layoffs (which I think the corps enjoy in a cruel way), and the CEOs make less money, or do they? I assume it's just the lust for profit and the future be damned. Seems like a prophecy for the country. I'm 73 and have lived through many recessions, some of which greatly impacted me, and no one likes it. This time running from high inflation toward the bottom seems different in a way.
Brad's in the catbird seat. A Master Chief pension, and his wife worked on the bases where they were stationed. He seems to handle his money well. Seems like he's trying out a new jeep each month. I know that's not the case, but seems that way. I've learned a lot from him.
I agree. I've had five Tacomas since 1999. I'm a geologist and use the hell out of them in the field. I've modified most of them, and Toyota just doesn't make it easy. I took delivery of my JTR last Saturday, and since then have installed the Mopar lift, Warn EVO winch with Rugged Ridge winch plate, JCR overhead moelle panel (check it out), bed rails, bed mat, Maximus-3 bedside steps, and some minor interior stuff, and everything fits. Thursday, Discount Tire installs Ion 715 7X9" wheels and Kanati Trail Hog 35s. On the Tacoma it wouldn't be possible, at least in a week. Jeep makes it easy even for aftermarket modifications. I'll never go back to Toyota, for other reasons as well. As an example, to install a winch and winch bumper on a TRDPro, you have to cut out the front plastic bumper. On the JTR, I just unbolted the steel winch bumper, bolted up the winch plate that fit perfectly, installed the winch, and rebolted the bumper. The Mopar lift was relatively easy, although the longer LCA took a bit of time, but important to keep the strain off the driveshaft. Mopar (or Jeep) has built their vehicles to make it easy to modify. My service guy at the dealer (I got the JTR for more than 5% off MSRP) said they do a lot of aftermarket work, and it helps keep them afloat since it is generally easy.
I'm right behind you at 66. and have lived through a few of the recessions. It's a recession when your neighbor gets laid off. It's a depression when you get laid off. Never did like getting laid off. Never knew when I was going back to work.
I really enjoyed his videos a few years ago when he was living off e9 retirement, gs/contractor money + his wife working.
What drove me from the 6mm or even some of the other hotter 6.5’s is barrel life.
Yeah, I have noticed that also about his channel and few other automotive Youtube channels that have blown up. They start out early on relatable because they have a day job that is not Youtube and their mods and projects are out of their pocket and incremental.I really enjoyed his videos a few years ago when he was living off e9 retirement, gs/contractor money + his wife working.
I felt like I was watching another fellow man build a Jeep and explore. Ever since Covid and his channel Blowing up- it’s like watching celebrity money, and frankly his content is nothing like what it was a couple years back….. scroll back on the history.
Dirt lifestyle has stayed pretty consistent even with the huge up tick… (for comparison). Money changes some people… that’s life ??
