TGO David

Congrats, "open carry" activists. I seem to remember saying this was going to happen.

Shoot me a PM with the details.  I may have seen it back then but the last week has had several challenges involved that have kept me offline here a little.

Welcome to TGO.  Make yourself at home!

On the subject of mixing with sodas, try Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey and Ginger Ale sometime.  It tastes like a cream soda.

I rather hope this thread keeps going.  I mean, hell... we're only at page 8 and the Everyone else : Robert ratio of posts is surprisingly high.  :D

One thing I noticed really on over at TNJeeps was how many Jeep folks are also gun owners!  I think both appeal to the American spirit.  :)

Actually it's the opposite. The 3.6L doesn't need that much gear to turn 37" tires as compared to the older engine. 4.88's would have it wound up pretty tight. It'll more than handle the 4.88's. :) Here's the chart for gears and tires: 3.6L Pentastar: 3.8L Engine

  I stepped up to 4.56 gears.  The 4.88's are almost too much for 37's and the 3.6L engine but would have been my choice were it a 3.8L.   No computer mods while she's under warranty.  Drivetrain is about the only warranty I haven't voided yet.  :D  Ripp does have a repackaged Vortech SQ trim supercharger that they sell for the 3.6L Jeeps but I'm not crazy about how tight the installation is.   I haven't seen a turbo kit yet but this thing gets hot enough under the hood as is, so I don't think I'd really want to go that route.   Several engine swaps exist for the 2012+ JK.  Several Hemi swaps as well as a myriad of GM LS engine swaps.  When the time comes I'll probably go with an aluminum-block LS engine.

Our '12 has the Pentastar. Good engine as far as I'm concerned but still inadequate once you start heaping on the weight. More HP and Torque than the previous 3.8L and the torque comes on earlier in the power-band. One of these days I'll do an engine swap. I just can't see getting rid of it with as much as I've sunk into it now. She's modded up exactly the way I want and it's been a long, carefully planned build. All it needs now is more power. :lol: This is a shot of it a friend took recently. It's changed a little since then but not much.

Eh... I mean, to be fair they could have just as easily posted a headline saying that Obama is a bi-sexual wrestler.  I didn't see any hard facts in either of those articles.  Just accusations.   Is it plausible?  Well, duh.  But it's also plausible that it's a smear campaign because they're not happy with the Obama Administration.  And I'm not even a fan-boy.

Count me in for two lowers.

Some of you may already know this, but back in 2011 I also started a forum for Jeep owners.  it's a great bunch of people and we've been VERY active hosting meet and greets, trail rides, scenic rides, wrench days, etc.   Come on over and join the fun.  It'll give you something else to spend your money on besides guns.  :D   www.tnjeeps.com

  There was a vote and those were shelved in favor of margarita makers.

Comedians.  :)   Yeah. they are AR platform lower receivers.

Hahaha... saw that last night on Facebook and wondered if it had been posted here.  Awesome stuff.  :D

  Ask me how many times I've gone shooting in the past 10 months.  It's embarrassing!  I haven't shot a single round because I don't want to burn up ammo I can't easily replace.  :(

  Red highlighted emphasis is mine.  THAT is the key difference.  You've sold what you already had, for whatever reason.  Be it you changed calibers, got rid of a gun entirely, whatever... it was yours already and you had no need for it.   The people I take issue with are the ones who clean out entire ammo supplies at stores to capitalize on "market panic".  They buy it from Wal-Mart or some other retailer and then dole it back out to people for a premium price because those people feel hostage to the situation.  It's morally and ethically wrong.  Benton offered up the sort of gouging that happened in Nashville during the flood a few years back as evidence that he's not guilty of gouging.  I say hogwash.  It's the same damn thing.   When a buying public feels that they have no alternative but pay an artificially inflated price for an item that the seller either partially or wholly controls the supply of, through nefarious means, then that seller is guilty of gouging.   I'm seriously teetering on the edge of actually wanting more government involvement in ammo sales as a result of this crap.

  ^^ This man knows how to play the game.

  That's my favorite from them.  Their Oatmeal Porter is good, but the Black Mocha Stout is the best.   If you can find it near you, try some Flat 12 Bierwerks "Pogue's Run Porter".  It's seriously taken top billing in my fridge now.  LOVE that stuff.

  Or... and I'm just putting this out there... it's for medicinal purposes.  :)

Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout.   If you've never tried it... you're missing out.

Bourbon, dark beer and cigars.  Those things soothe the inner beast.  

  It was a conversation.  The gangrape came in when the OP dropped the soap on aisle 9 in the sporting goods department at Wal-Mart.

Happy to help.  Good luck with the test. It's pretty easy considering the entire answer pool is made available to study ahead of time.  They want you to pass.  :)

I see zero reason to lock this thread.  If people don't stop editing their threads and posts because they don't like the direction they're going, I am going to revoke members' ability to do so.
