We average about 13.9 MPG around town and about 13.5 MPG on the highway. Sometimes it creeps up toward 15 MPG but not very often. That's with a light foot. Towing with it I saw about 13 MPG. It's never gone below that unless I was just behaving like a hoon. Yes, we've had ours off road but they aren't ideal for the sort of off-road environments we have around this part of the country. They need wide open spaces to stretch their legs and really show you what the suspension can do. It wasn't fun pressure washing this crap out of the undercarriage.

  Fair enough.  :D

  Well at least with the new Raptor you'll get stock HID headlights.  :)   Go for the new Terrain color... that's bad ass!  :D

  Honestly that's kind of a rude question, you know?  I never ask people about their finances.  :shrug:   Steve works pretty darn hard, I can tell you that much.

I came down with a massive headache and only caught bits and pieces of it last night.  Recorded the whole thing on DVR and hope to watch it tonight all the way through.

    Saying the M&P is a copy of the Glock shows very little technical understanding of the M&P's design.  The Sigma, yes.  The M&P, no.  And say what you want, but none of my M&Ps have ever failed me either and none of them throw brass in my face.  :)

Dude... think about all of the money in mods you lost on the last Raptor.  I'm done with trading vehicles on a whim.

We got it taken care of!  Turns out a fellow Jeep owner is also a plumber and he drove about 45 miles to come help me get it installed.  I'd still be out there debating whether I'd done it right and afraid to turn on the gas and strike a spark without his help.  :lol:   Hot showers are really underrated!!!

I'm working this weekend which makes it even more difficult. I'm not in the mood to cuss and throw things today and that's likely what will happen. Sent from the toilet using Tapatalk 2

I don't have the necessary tools to solder the copper lines or deal with the black iron gas line, but our water heater bit the dust today. It's easy to access in our garage and I'm picking up a replacement whirlpool today at lowes. I just need someone who knows their crap and has the tools to install it. Anyone?

I could seriously see myself buying one of these in the next few years.  The new Stingray is just all kinds of badass.

I'm looking forward to it.  Good series.

Hey man, nice shot!

Wow... those are expensive.

I had really good luck using Duracoat on plastics and using Norrel's Moly Resin on metals.  I never got around to trying Cerakote but all of the manufacturers who use it say it's good to go.

  Glad to see you here, Steve!  :wave:

  Have you checked on mp-pistol.com to see what the forum members there are using?   Honestly, the Shield is sort of a "get the f--- off me" gun designed more for conversation distances than medium range distances.  The way it's mean to be employed would make point-shooting viable.  The factory sights are more than adequate for that.

I think the people who do stupid stuff like this are more often than not people who don't carry very often or carry off their person (in a bag, briefcase, etc.) where it's useless in an altercation anyway.  Stupid should hurt.

Superb craftsmanship.  I really like the milled precision fit and finish.

That is really nice!

If you're getting your best man a pistol, I am available as a backup should he come down with the flu.  :stare:

  That didn't go as expected did it.  :lol:

  This.

The guy's a POS.
