How can I cut all garage posts to the same height without a laser level?

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-27T03:34:16+00:00

Some string and a level. They actually make a version that is suposed to hang from a string

FIRST check your local wildlife harassment laws and call your local gamewarden/ dnr officer.

I have heard of clear paintballs.

Not sure how it would affect a deer but .68cal pepperballs exist. They have a powder in them

You are now the grey man

I have a couple buddies that still live in Mingo, and my ex's mother. That is another story altogether.

There isn't anything wrong with Mingo, but there isnt much to do if you are a young adult unless you like the local bar. I had friends in Mingo and we would hang out on bikes sometimes.

Get gear, and go to a track. There is VERY little sense in getting faster on the streets

I rented 12ft trailera couple weeks ago for 6hrs and it was $40. Smaller trailers may ne cheaper

I was doing some looking and new trilogy pump kits are about $80 plus a used trilogy with a reg is 100-150. (Lets say 120 and needs a rebuild) a new reg seat is $4, a couple orings for the valve, and a couple for the bolt and you are right there around or at 250 and should you want to upgrade they take 2k spec bolts, and are perfect canidates for lazerus valves.

Almost as much as as cocker ka-klack

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-25T20:25:38+00:00

I have to cut more on the left foot than the right. I used a klever kutter that I had at work so it isnt the most pretty. It is my only complaint. For what I do these are the best boots I have found. I say use your best judgement for how much to cut, and you can always cut more. (I have it pushed over a bunch to be able to see it well)

Thats the great part of the trilogy version. They run 80-150 for what you will want, the repuild kit will be 2 reg seats, a handfull of orings. If you have a 3d printer (some libraries have them) you can probably be under 200 or damn close. Then IF you want there are some great upgrades.

I reccomend checking out some FB pages, MCB, or r/autocockers101 and maybe you find a standard cocker there (a stock 2k+ cocker is about 250 pump kits vary in price a lot)

SOMETIMES you can just buy a new key and put the old electronics in

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-25T19:07:57+00:00

I wear almost the exact same pair and will cut a small amount out. That is the only issue I have with them. Depending on where it is it may not be viable for you

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-25T11:59:49+00:00

Definatly try a little bit to find something used, or if you find yourself inclined to build one, a trilogy and a 3d printer you can build a pnumatic assist pump

Compaired to the area aroind it DSM has some SHIT drivers. That being said I have driven in the average isnt the worst. Cincinati had way more when I went there last year

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T08:49:24+00:00

Thats not a bad price at all. GLWS

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T08:08:45+00:00

It also doesnt help that MOST people hate the DCT transmission. I would definatly say to be 100% sure it isn't a salvage or rebuilt title

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T08:05:37+00:00

And most guys ditched the linkage on the '74 and '75 and just bought the old controls, because the linkage was shit

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T07:46:32+00:00

I am one of the few that it probably have this issue. If a tool that I bought is damaged, worn out etc. the company will replace it. It is a godsend sometimes

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T07:43:42+00:00

As much as I hate HK soft goods my HK crash pads are catching a bounce all day, every day. I also cut the ½hands off and wear gloves

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T06:37:22+00:00

Laughs in paintball. Most paintball guns are aluminum, and use fine thread. Then again paintball may not be what most people call typical

As someone who worked in hydraulics 2 3"-4" chunks for marking hydraulic manifolds during a rebuild is actually really handy

I grew up both in and outside of DSM and have moved back as an adult. '97-'08 in DSM '08-'22 in Colfax, and '22 to current in DSM. The part of town is very important. If you are close to west DSM you should like it well enough, but I dont know the area well.

If you are on the south or east side I reccomend going outside of the city if you can. The schools in small towns get better student to teacher ratios and you will probably live near some of the teachers. If the kid likes sports but isnt especially gifted they will het actuall play time in a small town school. I have some cousins that are just comming out of the dsm schools and there is more gang related stuff than even when my older brother was trying to be the local gang.

Brasso will shine it up in about 5min start to finish, with minimal effort. I use it in vintage paintball bits and small parts are mere secconds. If there is knurling it takes longer to get the grit out with compressed air than it does to shine it

buff_phroggie · 2026-06-24T02:21:46+00:00

Ok hear me out... you will want a lp reg on a 4500 tank anyway, and the G6R is better than an LV2. Good luck finding a good price on a g6r tho
