  1. Well it seems it is time to get ready for work, such a bad word that is sometimes.
  2. I am in need of the wiring diagram for the inputs of the JBL amps for a 2012 Toyota FJ. I know the voltage should be well below 6volts and want to convert them to a rca plug to install and after market system while still using all the factory headunti features. This is for a friend and I do not have the FJ handy to look at things. I am preplanning and any help would be awesome!
  3. Mah deuce on the way??? lol Big one for sure. Is that one of the guns Jared's dad has?
  4. Matt I have a friend who talks just like you when it comes to guns. We started a trust so he can get the goodies.
  5. Email [email protected] he should get this right away.
  6. 10:30 tomorrow Fingers crossed!
  7. They were meant to wound and take 3 guys off the line. I always wondered why but after my buddy the 1st Sargent explained it, it made sense. That would be awesome if it were true. The .223 was chosen because it was the lowest cost "proven" round to make. The "wound channel" and "hydrostatic shock" is dubious at best. Similar to hollow point rounds. The gas rifles that Stoner made originally were designed for larger caliber centerfire cartridges like the .308. Not big at all compared the the years before when we used the 30-06. But still puts the smack down. And it worked better with the gas design. More pressure to tune with and you could use larger tubes with less chance of fouling. The biggest upswing is the amount of .223 a man can carry, regardless of the mag size. It isn't uncommon for a ranger to have 750 rounds strapped to him. In just projectiles(not case and powder) it goes from 2.6 kilos to 7.2 kilos from .223 to .308. 55 grain vs 150 grain. The .223 sucks though for most uses, especially in the smallest grain projectiles. It can't fight wind and basically relies on keyholing or tumbling to cause trauma. A hollow point on a deer is one thing, but even then some states banned the .223 as it isn't humane enough to kill white tail. But just a thick layer of denim has proven to make hollowpoints not expand as predicted. Not saying it's all flim flam and snake oil, just that the reliability isn't there. Finally, we don't even record data so well. I have never heard of a projectile hitting a soft target at a perfect perpendicular angle. Every ballistic gel test we use does it that way. If we even went to 20 degrees off a perfect T it would require an many many times larger gel structure.When judging impact on a target the only things we can rely on reliably are penetration, and actual projectile diameter. The argument of the 9mm vs the .45 ACP is silly. The argument of the .223 vs the .308 is silly. They are different rounds for different reasons. And in choosing on vs the other you give up many things. Usually the biggest is how much can I carry and how much will it cost. Because ultimately as we all know it's not just that the projectile travels down range, it's about that it is placed where it needs to be. They were meant to wound and take 3 guys off the line.

I still wouldn't mind getting an ar-15 type platform in a .308 AR-10 if you can find them.
  8. Sounds good to me Matt, when I am unsure of something like that I ask my buddy. I am not a bullet guy, I just like to collect things.
  9. Interesting, I couldn't disagree more. This is the first leftover meal I've eaten in months. I abhor leftovers. Normally they get frozen and my wife eats them at work or when I am traveling. *exception are raw ingredient leftovers like tomatoes cooked down into sauce, stock, etc... Meats off the egg put in the frige for another time always offer more flavor to what ever they are with. Even slow cooked stuff I prefer fresh. I do eat leftover brisket and pork butt though. Haven't smoked one since Nov though so it wasn't on my mind. I am guess our views on leftovers were different. Any meat off the egg that does not get eaten that day gets turned into another meal which is a leftover to me.

  11. You know it is cold when I am mixing rice cool in with wood pellets!
  12. Leftovers almost always have better flavor.

  14. Looking good Jared. That DCON is going to suprise you!
  15. Awesome!
  16. This is from our local paper. Damn Amish Mafia! Criminal mischief HOWARD-Meriam Slack's and Doris Yearick's mailboxes were damaged between Jan. 13 and 14, along with other damaged mailboxes reported, state police at Lamar said. Amish buggy tracks were visible along the shoulder at one location, police said. Anyone with information, please contact PSP Lamar at (570) 726-6000. http://www.lockhaven.com/page/content.detail/id/543181/Police-News-Jan--22--2013.html?nav=5028
  17. I can hang them, but never worked on an opener.

    Nice!
  19. Still doing some work!

    Nice car there!
  21. I am thinking of doing these on the 4runner. Looks good!
  22. Sweet collection!
  23. Oh I am more worn out from hearing about something else constantly, all day long, 7 days a week. When will my subs ship?
  24. The stang looks nice for sitting in the field! The stangs on our farm look a lot worse than that! Need more pictures!
  25. Soda case cardboard works too.
