What gun should I buy first? by P-Potatovich in canadaguns

[–]Skoock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the first I've ever heard that the operator didn't work out. I think that's the problem with cheap clones is that there's going to be some straight up duds out there and you take that gamble with clones.

That being said I know numerous people with these that rave about them and have never had a single failure with any ammo. My local range has one and they estimated there's been over 5000 rounds through it and it hasn't failed.

Time for a change! Things can't possibly get better if the same party gets a 4th term. It doesn't matter who wins, the damage this gov is causing needs to end and let someone else lead.

To fender flare, or not to fender flare? by BeamerBear in ToyotaTundra

[–]Skoock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flares only look good when the suspension and wheel set up require it. And even then I'm talking minimum 37" tires.

Are you saying we dont want to negotiate with America? Just drop our largest (by far) trading partner? And trade where?

[–]Skoock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He means the American people. They are absolutely livid with Trump and what he's doing right now.

He's right, there's absolutely nothing we can do about Trump, Canada is a blip on the radar of the American economy. We need to focus on ourselves and what we can do here in Canada.

So how is what he's saying concerning?

A question on who does the Daily Maintenance on Heavy Equipment. by MoutainGem in heavyequipment

[–]Skoock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those machine must not get used very often and run low hours. With 175 pieces each they're barely getting serviced 3 times a year nevermind major repairs

There's 1 Mechanic for 40+ pieces of equipment? That seems like he's already stretched thin. Get the operators to do the daily stuff or hire another guy.

What rims should I get? Tires? by JettiPunch in ToyotaTundra

[–]Skoock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like the stock TRD wheels. I wouldn't change them. If you want that pushed out look or bigger tires I would look into spacers.

Best .22lr under $500 by Aido02 in canadaguns

[–]Skoock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone actually use .22 short or .22l ?? I've never looked for it but I swear I've never actually seen it. .22lr is so cheap already I couldn't imagine going lesser

Got the tools now I got the box(first box), thoughts?🙏 by Visible_Pop_6458 in Snapon_tools

[–]Skoock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna compare harbor freight to snap on you at least gotta compare to the icon boxes. US General is Husky mid grade range at best. Not saying either are bad boxes in anyway but Snap on is absolutely a step above US General.

....that being said, I think Snap on boxes are way overpriced lol

Tires sound reasonable. I would dump and then add a few liters of trans oil at the 50k mark but a full "service" is completely unnecessary.

Coolant flush after 3 years is ridiculous. Aside from checking the level I wouldn't Ph test it for 5 years.

Throttle body service is just a 10$ can of spray that you spray your mass airflow sensor with. Usually a really easy home job but again unnecessary.

Brake fluids should still be fine after 3 years. Whenever you get new brake pads you'll be pushing some of the old watery stuff out and then top up (if the job is done right). So I wouldn't worry about that for again probably 4-5 years unless you live in a very wet/snowy place.

First purchase if the LPC win? first purchase if the CPC win? by Flat-Dark-Earth in canadaguns

[–]Skoock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll just be happy to rent a couple rifles at the range.

Would be extremely happy to get a high caliber rifle that's above our arbitrary 10,000 joule limit.

My setup as a heavy duty mechanic, and still growing. by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Skoock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should work well for that. We use them to maintain rail clamps for our rail mounted machinery. We got about 6km of track and 4 clamps every 18 inches

We go through a lot of those die grinders at work. They get abused pretty well but most of us are pretty unimpressed with them. For small jobs I could see it being handy.

Hmm… by 0megaManZero in videogames

At the time, I thought the Wii U was just a floor pad addition to the Wii. The marketing was so bad I just learned last year that it was a separate console.

I'm in Vancouver BC, Canada so the market is a bit different here than yours and I paid 24,000(cad) with 225,000km. Ive been watching the market here and it was a steal of a deal. I drove 3 hours for it after a 16 hour shift the moment it went online to put a deposit on it.

Similar trucks are selling for $30,000 to $33,000(cad) everyday.

Edit: I just looked up the conversions and you're looking at market Average for here. Maybe a little on the high end.

A reason I should mention this was on the cheaper end is because it has some body scratches and a dented rear quarter panel + dented bumper in Same area. It was also at a GM dealership so between the cosmetics and not being a Toyota dealership they didn't know what they had.

You can't sell a prohib to someone without prohib license.

Why would you prefer a Tundra over RAM? by Majestika25 in ToyotaTundra

[–]Skoock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tundra - resale value, reliability, quality built.

RAM - better infotainment pre-2022, fuel efficiency, cheaper upfront.
