    Pending Toyota Recall

    Have you read the recall? What I stated is written in it. Literally, “can increase the risk of a crash.” Toyotas words, not mine. The point was that someone said Toyota went above and beyond and I said they did what was financially prudent and legally necessary. As an aside, I don’t drive...

    Is this overkill😂

    Then put it on your rifle. Just don’t come starting a thread when you miss after it loses zero. I helped a buddy sight in a VX3i. Man that thing was junk. I sighted in a Tikka with a Trijicon Credo on the same range trip. A week later he had sold his rifle and the Leupold and replicated the...

    Pending Toyota Recall

    Lots of people react poorly when things happen unexpectedly. The NTSB knows this. Auto manufacturers know this. History shows us this. The Explorer tire issue was tested independently and found that the car could be driven to a stop with no hands on the wheel. Still, people flipped the cars...

    Is this overkill😂

    Open your back door at dawn or dusk and glass around your yard. Good grief. If you live in a condo go find some isolated woods and do the same.

    Pending Toyota Recall

    Debris in an engine can cause a catastrophic failure. That happens on the road and people can die. They may have initiated this recall early but it was not an option to ignore it. Cleaning an engine out before assembly seems like a pretty essential part of the process. This is a serious failure...

    Pending Toyota Recall

    I think this is probably the real issue. Toyota made its mark using 10-20 year old tech in new vehicles with the reasoning that proven tech is hyper-reliable. And it worked. Now they are trying to leap forward to have the same technology as competing vehicles. And it's not working.

    Pending Toyota Recall

    The engines have debris in them from assembly. They are not going above and beyond. Shipping a new engine assembly for install is FAR less expensive than totally disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and reassembling an engine in a vehicle.

    Pending Toyota Recall

    Add the Toyota Grand Highlander and Tacoma recalls to that Toyota list. Zero chance I’d buy a new Toyota of any flavor right now. The 2024 version of your list will have Toyota way up it. Tacoma driveshaft recall, tundra engines, Highlander airbags. All this year and totaling over half a...

    Alternative to Kodiak Canvas for car camping

    I love my 10x14 Flex-bow. Huge inside and super fast to put up for what it is. I would encourage you to order from Competitive Edge. Amazing customer service not to mention the owner does a fantastic job of reviewing and showing the features/differences between models on their Youtube channel.

    6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

    I looked back. Both had sales back in June. Barreled Action was $369 and the stock was $399. Looking at the Brownells code it was $10% off a $400 normal price. I guess these have increased in cost lately to $450. Stockys had a 33% off sale at the time.

    Boots - are we doing it wrong

    Yes. I used to wear skinny Scarpas when I wore dress shoes every day. Covid happened and I wore sandals and Altras every day and my feet spread out. Went to HV Fischers and love them. Got to where I couldn’t wear the Scarpas for 20 minutes and they were once super comfy. I don’t even unbuckle...

    Time to upgrade son’s bow

    $500-700 discount from new makes up for any potential issues IMHO. The only thing that could possibly happen is a limb issue and I’m pretty sure a set is about $300 and comes with a warranty on them.

    Time to upgrade son’s bow

    It will need strings. Factor that in. I think it’s a decent deal for sure. Would be even better at $750. Check archery talk classified for mods. Lots of switch weight mods come and go there so you can get the right length. Also switch weight mods run about a half inch long. So if he needs 27.5...

    6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

    I did. Brownells had a sale on the barreled actions and then Stockys did also. I’d message Stockys on here for a Rokslide discount code.

    I upgraded my Spotting scope, and I’m underwhelmed. Looking for input

    The other thing is if you compared them in great light with little heat waves you won’t see a huge difference. It’s when stuff gets tough that the differences come out. Glassing at dusk and dawn. Glassing into shadows. Afternoon heat waves. Etc.

    I upgraded my Spotting scope, and I’m underwhelmed. Looking for input

    Having owned that exact Diamondback spotter and replaced it with a Kowa 77 that says a lot more about how poor the Nikon is than anything. The Diamondback is terrible if that didn’t explain it enough. I’d be looking towards Maven if you want to upgrade. I bought the C series binoculars for my...

    Time to upgrade son’s bow

    Here’s that Phase 4 I mentioned earlier. Can’t beat a fully rigged out flagship bow including Bridgelock sight and stabilizer and Mathews quiver and limb legs for right about $1300. I may never buy a new bow again.

    Greatest hunting head of all time

    Well there you go. I don’t shoot off a tripod enough to spend that much money though. This setup is 95% of that for not much more than that PT-Scout alone. Haha. But you can agree that a ball head with a removeable pan head is far superior to a pan head with a ball head stuck to the top...

    Greatest hunting head of all time

    Making this all one piece makes no sense. A more compact and lighter version of this picture where the pan head is quick release and you can ARCA a rifle into the ball would be the “best head ever.” In fact, this ball head has a Pic receiver in the middle of it. You could go with a tiny pic...
