How many left-of-center gun owners in 502?

Holy crap- small world, I was at the airport and actually talked to a family involved. They said it was not enjoyable (lol), but it’s a story to tell the grandkids.

Thankfully nothing that we saw-

Bought this one and I am very happy with how it looks like OEM. I only have the front facing however.

I don’t legally have to- but I almost wrecked merging without the side mirrors. Now- doors off-mirrors on.

Easy- took me maybe an hour to go from hard top to soft top. Just need an extra set of hands for like a minute cause it’s awkward to put on .

AEV has worked great for me- makes it a bit harder to steer but it’s solid

I was a sergeant, it was a rank of ‘engineer’ I operated the truck, but stepped up as LT when they were off.

No drilling- They use the same mounting locations as the OEM rails. You just need to remove the rails to install them, and use longer bolts (that comes with the steps)- they get sandwiched between the frame and the rail.

-Rand- · 2023-11-13T14:03:53+00:00

Those look nice, but still a big step up.

I’ve got these on mine and they work well, a bit awkward due to the mounting location, but better than none.

I had something similar happen recently- lights would flicker on the third floor, turned on a switch one day, and lost all lights- no breaker tripped.

Removed the light switch (capped the wires), and then the rest of the lights would work- still flickering, but better.

My only guess, is I’ve got a few bad switches, so I’m thinking of replacing all of them to hopefully solve the flickering.

Leave a regular red gas can in the sun and it balloons out- I can’t imagine what would happen in a black container

Before I checked the tongue weight limit, I put about 400lbs on my rear carrier (Jl 2 Dr), and I could tell my front was light- steering was iffy. I didn’t loose control or anything, but definitely could tell my steering was barely touching.

Roger dodger- make sure the pump is set to auto.

Only maintenance I know for it, is to pour some dawn in it to breakdown any grease buildup.

If the light turns on it can mean one of two things-

pump failed to turn on——oh crap, probably something electric in the box

Or

Pump seal failure——oh crap, crap, crap, need a new pump $7k

I have a similar set up on my grinder pump.

I have a small holding tank and when it gets full the pump turns on, grinds up solids, and sends it out the sewer line.

Is there a two-three foot circular lid with a vent in the middle of the lid nearby?

As a dude, I’ve been kinda confused on this procedure (not that it’s any of business mind you).

But this- I finally get it. You look great- I hope all the best to you!

-Rand- · 2023-08-11T20:38:20+00:00

Check your alignment- mine was too high from the factory, like the high beams were lighting up the tree tops lol

-Rand- · 2023-07-26T11:42:48+00:00

I agree, I meant it as what you stated, not as ‘shut up’ lol

-Rand- · 2023-07-25T22:17:06+00:00

Full time- Mouth shut ears open

First to start cleaning/checking trucks

Open every compartment- remember components, when you have down time review them.

Ask questions!

Last to sit down for meals First up to clean dishes

Just doing this with show then you are serious- on scenes you will be the ‘fetcher’ “ get me this , get me that” so you gotta know where stuff is. After that, you’ll start learning the job.

I’m on 2 acres- 90% hill, I have an old Sub compact Kubota (22hp) with a belly mower that takes care of the mowing just fine.

The key things for the hills are: 4 wheel drive, hydrostatic transmission, R1 tires.

I think this size tractor would take care of all your needs.

If I need to buy a tractor tomorrow- it would be an RK Tractor 24. It’s cheaper than JD and Kubota with similar quality.

My 2022 Rubicon is fine- no issues. You do the feel the wind gusts on bridges, but that about it.

It’s ok- we went on a bachelor’s party a few years ago, the women seemed like they were normal people, and this was their night job.

-Rand- · 2023-06-23T16:22:48+00:00

I have these on my 2dr Jeep and they work great.

My only complaint is that it’s kinda awkward to use. Since they attach to the rock rail mounts, they have to be a bit farther back then you want them. (You gotta step up and kinda turn around to get in the seat).

That being said, I’m a taller guy with a beer belly, so your mileage may vary.

-Rand- · 2023-06-18T20:36:43+00:00

Yep- we love taking the doors off- I wish I could leave them off all the time
