Gah that thing was awful...

I'm really glad this was resolved. He's a cool guy   If it hadn't, at least he and his son could get jobs as shade trees.

  Site isn't loading for me. Could be our IDS blocking it though. Will check it when I'm off corporate.

I can see it now. One of these wheelers is not like the others.

Ok, I guess I should clarify. I'm looking less for "what parts do I buy?" and more for "anybody know of a good jeep group?"   Great suggestions though. :D

  The shortened version (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

  Yeah I'm not doing that... I want to do some accessories for sure but I've already made up my mind that I'm not going to overdo it. Snorkels and what not. If it's functional and improves my experience, I will add it. 

After 14 years of driving the same old pickup, I finally upgraded to a 2015 Willy's Wheeler edition 2 door! Super stoked about it as you can imagine. I've wanted to wait until I got a few payments under my belt but now I'm starting to get some interest in joining a community and doing a little "light" offloading. I'm not looking to rock crawl or roll it trying to climb up some vertical cliff or anything, but I would like to join a community of like minded folks and maybe hit some trails, glean some knowledge and just generally get my feet wet.   I'm most definitely a novice and the vehicle is stock. I guess that's a slight misnomer since it's effectively a sport edition with Rubicon upgrades. But I don't have a lift kit and a winch or anything. Yet...   I can imagine there are more than a few of you who attend meetups etc. Any suggestions?

  SNAFU comes to mind

6 months later TGO David: "So who knew that clicking that link 4,000 times would stop gun control?" NoBanStan: "Now if that only worked on computers....." ****edit*** Couldn't spell my own name.

    and your rights = poop

  ^this   First thought that crossed my mind! After all the AK pics, the new FN 45 and the photos of Wyoming.. I thought he had built a fortress somewhere :D

  Having met and talked with you a few times, I wouldn't be surprised if I discovered you had built the irone throne from magazines. :D

  As an informed clicker, what's your angle on this? A newcomer who feels the need to "rattle our cages". That's a serious question... as I wouldn't join a community to immediately point out how I felt other communities were better in my opinion.   I'm not signing it because:   A.) Spam ahoy B.) It's entirely unstructured, it's just a rant about "don't touch mah guns"... maybe it needs to be about specific callouts like unconstitutional embargo's on weapons import? Or the up coming EO's? and finally C.) He called them assault rifles......  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:

It's hard to read through the list of "facts" about gun control when they throw in this tidbit:   "As the single largest purchaser of firearms in the country, the Federal Government ......"   Some would point out that I'm taking that line out of context because I'm omitting how our government plans to research and employ smart gun tech. But I think it's more potent that they themselves freely admit they are the largest customer for the firearms industry. Do as I say, not as I do?   cited from https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/01/04/fact-sheet-new-executive-actions-reduce-gun-violence-and-make-our

The shield is a good little pistol all around. If I had to point out the negatives:   1.) Too thin. It grips well but I found that I had to consciously not put so much finger on the trigger or I would be pulling left. I don't own one though, so this is likely just me. 2.) The trigger isn't my favorite. not the pull, just the feel. It has that hinged M&P plastic trigger thingy. Every shot felt like it was going to snap in half.   Outside of that, I had no complains. It's not very snappy despite the size. I would carry one if I didn't have other preferences. I seriously doubt you'd go home cursing yourself for buying one. Plus, if you hated it... it would resell easy.

TDR for Mod 2016!     I need to pay up... all of my money is going into home repair for sale. I had to drop $500 yesterday on new decking. Rest assured I will, but I gotta be smart with my money before I can have fun with it.

I find it endearing when a girly girl shoots. On more than one occasion I've helped instruct a woman in makeup and heels. One evening at the Nashville Armory I helped a couple of young girls wearing cotton dresses and heels who showed up with a 357. Normally I wouldn't go out of my way to help someone but I watched them drop two above the line and then one off the floor about 3 feet in front of the barricade. The range officer didn't see it so i just yelled "woah woah woah!" and taught them how to shoot single action.... turns out they were a couple and had taken some vow to "do extreme stuff". They had gone skydiving the day prior.   But I digress.... Kudos to your daughter. She's officially shot more full auto than I have :D

  I think I just died a little

As an internet savvy guy who's seen too much... I notice you also got her a sharpie.... :ugh:

  Late to the party on this but:   phase 1: end reciprocity phase 2: .... phase 3: profit!

It was cool to see my name hit the shorter list. The randomizer didn't like me very much. I was near the bottom both times! LOL   Congrats to the winners and thanks to TDR for being a stand up guy.

the entire movie. this is all I could see....

got a mexped versipack.. but i sent her the wrong link... so i got the wrong model. Got a nice north face raincoat though.
