  1. 125 miles when I took possession. The dealer is the one that said Jeep would take care of everything. The dealer wants nothing to do with it.

    I'd push them. They got their money and bowed out. If you bought a gun and it failed a day later wouldn't you go back to the place you purchased it?

  2. His original post said about 40 miles.

    It said he drove 40 miles. The tech is supposed to put 6 miles on the vehicle during the pdi then put it into the rack and look it over.

  3. So what has your dealer said during all of this? I would have been on the phone with the dealer first thing demanding a different vehicle because their tech didn't do his job.
    How many miles did it have on it when you first drove it?

  4. I think there might be some over thinking on this. A DC to AC inverter back fed correctly to the panel can provide the power. Switching to 120v LED bulbs now will take care of the lighting. Cheap and simple.

  5. Those steps don't look like they were put in right to begin with. I agree with what someone else said in putting some cap blocks on the ground so the stringers aren't in direct contact. It also seems to me that the top should be in full contact with the face of the deck not hanging half way off of it.
  6. I would put a sleeping bag or blanket in the bottom of the pack. You want the weight close to you and about mid way up your back. As already mentioned the belt makes all the difference. One other method you might look at is getting a 2 gallon camel pack. That would be about 16lbs full and easily adjustable. It would also put the weight right were it needs to be.

  7. How would you all like one of the Next TGO knives to be just like the first, minus the Special engraving of the Knife freedom and with a Two Tone blade?


    If there enough likes I may make this happen

    No! Been waiting for the Godson to match my Godfather forever now! :).

    What is the blue one in the pics?
  8. I use Wisdom from TSC. Anything I've ever sprayed has died instantly. Wood boring bees? Spray the wood and never saw them again. Wasps? Dead on contact. Scorpians, fleas, etc, dead. Spray around the house once a month and don't even see ants.
  9. As someone who has been in sales a long time I can offer some advice on this.
    1)Never disparage another product. As already mentioned, calling it crap will create a defensive position.
    2) Educate. Pull out some of you guns and talk about the differences is revolvers, semi autos etc. Talk about what makes one a quality piece and another not so much. Use their gun as well as yours to present a best, better, good scenario in that order. Show them what they lose at each step.
    3) Shoot them. Start with the raven then something much smoother and easier on the hands. This is where you insert bias by making the comparison bigger, less recoil, easier to handle. Like a pinto vs a caddy.

    Let her make the decision to get a different gun by guiding.

  10. No sir. What has a bigger impact is people letting their dogs run lose. Fido causes a lot of damage as does cats. The coyote takes a lot of blame for things. Don't believe me? Call the biologist for your region.

    Dave

    I have seen coyotes pull a fawn out of a mother during birth. Also if they will eat a chicken they will eat a turkey. They have a big impact on both. Maybe you ought to call the biologist. Dogs (coyotes) are higher on the food chain than deer and turkey so yes they will attack and eat them.
  11. So I've owned at one point or another:
    2004 Ram 1500 quad cab 6.5' Bed
    2006 Ram 3500 mega cab 6.5' bed
    2004 Durango
    2006 Jeep Commander
    2010 Ram 1500 5ft bed Crew cab
    2015 Ram 3500 Crew cab 8' bed
    2015 Jeep 4 door

    So with that said here's my opinion.
    Anything less than about 6.5' bed is useless. Even putting an 8' 2x4 takes some tie downs.
    The rear doors need to be full sized. I don't know that they make anything smaller now?
    I don't find the smaller trucks worth it. A full size is about the same price and much more useful.
    Diesel power is worth it. Also holds its value much better. I just finished a trip from Cincinnati to Nashville and back and got 18mpg out of my 3500 dually. The gas engines I've had got about the same mileage.

    I carry 2 adults, 4 kids, and 2 boxers comfortably inside my trucks.

    For the dogs if you really need to carry them in the bed get a truck with a sliding window and a cap with the same.

    The suvs we have owned and currently own are not as wide as the trucks which makes them less comfortable when putting a but in each seat. They also do not have the leg room that is in the trucks. The back areas are too small. I can fit more stuff in the cab of the trucks (esp the megacab) than I could in any of the suvs.

    As usual YMMV

  12. I don't use FB so it's easy for me to say screw'em.

    There's plenty of other venues that welcome your business.

    Could you name a few that are local to a given city or small area?
    I, too, have bought and sold on FB and find it to be easier to deal with for finding things locally.
    I have moved a number of times in the last few years and fb has been the easiest way to find local buy, sell, trade groups in a given city.
