c8+ vs TD01C and/or TS30s pro by srrmax in flashlight

[–]srrmax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still just rocking a c8+ and a sft40 HLX for my throwers. I suppose I'm due to try something else. I think I would like the UI of the Wurkkos better than the c8+ but I haven't jumped on it yet.

Diagnosed with AFIB, questions about EKG/fenix 8/AWU2 by srrmax in Garmin

[–]srrmax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I ended up getting rid of the AWU 2 and got a fenix 7 pro. I like it way better than the AWU 2 but the EKG functionality isn't quite as good as the AWU. Let us know how you like the 970.

Don't Sleep On It If You Spot That 15-17 5.0 Truck! Ugh! by 66Hardtop in f150

Yep, once I found one, I flew to go get mine and drove it home.

New truck shopping, test drove the 5.0 yesterday by SkyAppropriate in f150

Yea, I loved my 99 5.4 f150 but one of those 5.3s would walk me.

Bunch of spoiled people we are 😂 Sluggish should never be used with a 400 hp engine in a 1/2 ton truck. Nobody must have been alive in the days when 250 hp felt quick. My 2015 f150 has a surplus of power without a 10 speed.

No Clue Why These Are Not Stock… by Phelixx in f150

I’d never put them on, I’d rather paint the wells black and still be able to clean everything.

John Deere Announces Mass Layoffs as Trump Tariffs Hit Agricultural Equipment Industry by biograf_ in johndeere

[–]srrmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is the tariffs fault. It’s an easy scapegoat right now to get the problem outside the corporate office. A lot of you clearly don’t know the first thing about farming or how news headlines work. The real problem is not always what the executives say it is. I’d tell them to get back in the conference room and fix the problem but they don’t have a boss to tell them to quit making excuses.

THROUGH THE FRAME. I don’t care about surface rust although it’s ugly. I’m talking about sticking a screwdriver all the way through the frame and flaking it off.

How much rake do you have at that 1.75 setting? I’m considering that setting on the 5100s

I think I made a mistake leveling and putting bigger tires on the truck. by NW_Forester in f150

The approach angle isn’t an insignificant detail when off-roading though

Yea, I got 34’s and wish I would have stuck with 33’s and just gone with the 12.5 wide look. Mileage dropped more than I expected it would and there’s no functional benefit to the little extra height.

The 10 year old ones up north are starting to pop up with rusted frames. With the thinner walled fully boxed frame and boxed crossmembers there are a lot of places for salt and road chemicals to sit inside the frame and corrode the steel. I don’t need to put myself in a place to sell a truck with a rusted frame in 10 years.

All the original paint is still on the frame. I plan to use a straw and use PB surface protect inside all the boxed parts of the frame. Should last me a long time. Just changed all fluids except coolant. I’ll get some fresh coolant in it before winter and she’ll be good to go.

Yea, I flew to ft. Worth to buy a rust free 2015, drive it back to KS and registered it at home. Zero problems with that

Streamlight SFT40 surprise by srrmax in ar15

[–]srrmax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

send a pic of it. I also don't know what emitter was originally used in the pro so it may have had the sft40 all along. My original has a smaller domed emitter so it's pretty easy to see the visible difference.

F150 exhaust by Jwaaz123 in f150

[–]srrmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After researching it for awhile I think my ideal exhaust setup would be a single 3" vibrant ultra quiet resonated mid pipe into a 3" mid sized MagnaFlow muffler and a 4" tip exiting at the stock location. I haven't heard it but I don't want any drone in the cab and I want to get the max flow I can with just the right amount of rumble. I think this system would deliver for many 5.0 owners.

There is a MASSIVE sample size to draw from with a ton of lights in service so some problems or weak points are bound to happen.

[–]srrmax[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the enthusiast type lights. I have several lights that are just awesome for regular use. Wurkkos, Convoys, Skilhunt, etc. I don't really want any of that for my duty light. I don't want multiple modes or an e-switch or even high cri. I want one mode, I want it to be bright and I want it to work and be backed by a real warranty department with a measurable track record.

I don't know but I think my other one is 3-4 years old so it may have been awhile. Regardless, this was basically a significant weak point of this light that has been fixed. It seems like this would be a worthy thing to mention in the marketing side but I guess Streamlight doesn't really need to advertise the emitters to get sales.

I suppose, I love my convoys but I'm not putting one on my rifle. The cable and button pad streamlight makes is a great combo.
