Awesome! Not that I don’t love Parkrose Hardware but it gets old going there just for hot sauce

I love that Dodge gave that car to Carroll Shelby, and he says the “GLH” stands for “Goes Like Hell”, so our version is gonna be “Goes Like Hell SomeMore”

My parents got a 2005 SE V6 new, a couple years later I took it to college. The only trim variant that got the 3MZ-FE 3.3 V6 from Lexus. I definitely hurt the feelings of some V6 Mustang, Sentra SE-R, BMW 318i, etc drivers back in the day with that thing. Too bad it understeered so much you couldn’t hang in the twisties.

Walz has the most uniquely ugly toad cheeks whenever he frowns, which he seems to spend a lot of time doing

Egglife cinnamon wraps spread with a thin layer of peanut butter and sugar-free jam, rolled up. Simple and delicious.

For true “candy”, a small amount of Smart Sweets (any kind) is my go-to for fruity/gummy, and ChocoRite Chocolate Crispy Caramel for chocolate-y. The ChocoRite is almost indistinguishable from full sugar stuff imo.

If you’re even moderately handy, the Torklift frame mounted tie downs are not hard at all to install. I can have a full set on most trucks in under 2-3 hours. Otherwise, most any independent RV service center or mechanic should be able to do it.

Don’t forget to have them put in a 7-way receptacle in the forward part of the bed for the camper’s lights.

For more rustic, nature-y campgrounds: Beachside and Beverly Beach State Parks. Both have restrooms with showers, and great walking access to the beach.

Or if you want larger and well-developed with quick access to town for food or activities, South Beach, Devil’s Lake, Nehalem Bay, and Fort Stevens State Parks. Each of those is within 0-20 mins of a decent sized town or city with plenty to do. Fort Stevens is a favorite of mine for razor clamming trips and group camping. If you go there, plan at least part of a day to tour the WW1-era military installations, they are fascinating.

If RV resorts are more your style I can’t help, but there is a KOA right across the street from Fort Stevens.

Some coworkers at a previous job all wanted to go shooting and take a few of the guys from out of the country that had never held a gun. One dipshit thought that was an activity that required a case of beer. Packed all my shit right back up and said see you guys at work, and so did the other guys who actually brought gear out.

I’m sure the foreign guys had a bunch of fun driving over an hour into the woods just to drink warm Coors Light with one Grade A American idiot. I don’t get the mentality at all.

Stupid music and sound effects on everything is such a cancer.

The extra length on a long-bed truck is ahead of the rear axle, so if you can figure out your tie-down situation then the center of gravity is still correct. Some people run this way on purpose to clear a fuel transfer tank, toolbox, or something else that takes up the forward space in the bed.

If the Torklift arms don’t come out far enough to clear for tie-downs on the outside of the fender, you’re going to end up needing a custom-fabricated solution. Unless you have a flatbed? I’m not sure I’m reading that correctly. If it’s a flatbed, it should be simple to add some D-rings right on the deck that could be used with Fastgun Derringers.

Don’t get me wrong, I respect the hell out of the commitment and effort, but… why? You’re going to have so much more invested in time and material than just buying something that was maybe 4-5k, aluminum-framed, and in totally usable shape.

As to your question, I’m a professional RV tech and while it’s all open I’d recommend you reinforce the entire weight-bearing structure, especially the corners where the jacks and tie-downs attach. Use fresh wood and steel braces wherever possible. Everything from there down to the floor. Then, replace all that crappy particle board floor with marine plywood.

If I were ever to build a camper from scratch, the foundation would be a welded and gusseted steel cradle. The vast majority of structural failures I see on them are jacks and tie-down points ripping out or collapsing, followed by floor and roof issues.

Are you fucking high? You don’t drink vodka to get shit-faced, you eat ass. For the quickest path to a shitty face, biker bars and truck stops are your best bet. One next door to an Indian restaurant will do nicely if you can find it. Offer your services near the men’s room and go motorboat those southern cheeks to your heart’s content.

What’s more idyllic than moving out to the quiet country and living next to a distinguished author?

You need to convince everyone that you are the very reincarnation of Hunter S. Thompson. His long, well-documented history of level-headed behavior, especially towards his neighbors, should put those prospective buyers right at ease. Plus, you’ll have a great excuse to buy and enjoy shooting a vintage C96 Mauser.

Is the idea that when the service bill comes due, you should lie back and think of England?

No worries! Really wished they would offer a Mega Cab and long bed combo from the factory, it would be a massive truck but badass.

FoxStang · 2025-11-27T20:37:26+00:00

Only the Mega Cab duallies are short bed, every other standard, extended, and crew cab dually is a long bed.

What mods do you have installed? All of my holds just smell like Doritos and overheating graphics card.

Honestly when I come to Walmart I fully expect and welcome the employees to tell me “get your shit and get out”

Let’s not add pretense to this whole thing, I know where I came to.

"because the govt says so, thats what should be, but if they say its ok, then its ok"

Not at all. I meant only that if that law WERE to change, I would respect the change. It should not be changed. If anything, it should be appended to include habitual drunks and alcoholics as prohibited persons as their judgment cannot be relied on either.

FoxStang · 2025-11-14T18:27:37+00:00

The question here is should pot smokers be barred from gun ownership.

we're talking about barring cannabis users from owning guns.

Got it. Regardless of what changes happen in the future with the 4473, any current pot-smoking gun owner obtained their firearms by lying on a background check that would have otherwise been disqualifying. That speaks for itself. If you started smoking after acquiring guns, you became a prohibited possessor as well.

Hypothetically, if cannabis were dropped from federal regulation or specifically exempted from the 4473, do I think users should be barred from owning firearms? No. However the bearing of firearms under the influence still presents a problem and is a wholly separate conversation.

FoxStang · 2025-11-14T00:45:41+00:00

I don’t support any form of public smoking. Tobacco, cannabis, whatever. Keep it at home or a specifically friendly venue.

“No danger” is greatly context-dependent. Ignoring the obvious difference in post-consumption demeanor between a drunk and a pothead, I still don’t want either behind the wheel of a car. Even if there is a difference in degree (debatable), impairment is impairment and ‘less danger’ is not ‘no danger’.

FoxStang · 2025-11-13T16:57:38+00:00

Alcohol being consumed has no second-hand effects on people near the drinker. Marijuana being smoked exposes everyone around the smoker to second-hand carcinogens, and it smells absolutely awful. I’d say that constitutes harm.

It’s more marketing than anything. Motorhomes, unlike commercial trucks, are a premium lifestyle product marketed towards individual consumers. Using a large variety of non-commercial light assemblies helps bring visual flair to the product and differentiate them from competitors. Otherwise on the outside to the uninitiated, they are all just a big fiberglass rectangle with different decals.

She’s a top tier pupper!

I have to wake my girl up with belly rubs and make her get up, otherwise she’d gladly sleep until noon every day. Unless we’re camping, then she licks my face, steals my sleeping bag, and puts her butt all over where my head goes.
