I inherited my dad’s 05 Tundra and 17 Tacoma when he passed. The Tacoma was only a few months old at the time. It was a loaded off road TRD 4x double cab. He bought a lifetime warranty that transferred to me. It looked great, was reasonably comfortable and cold be parked in places more like a car, especially compared to a full size truck (bonus for the wife) I had so many reasons to try to love it. But I preferred driving the basic extended cab Tundra…and tellingly…so did the wife. That old Tundra was just a good driver. The primary thing was how relatively underpowered it was for the 4x drivetrain even with standard oem tires. The factory PCM tune was lacking throttle response and big lags on kickdown to back on power. The drivability suffered. On top of all that, it got pretty bad mileage. 16 on the highway at I75 cruise speeds (trying to not get run over ) that dropped a bit around town. I towed an atv utility trailer a couple times and it noticeably struggled. The rear cab space is ok if on-the-smaller-side works for your needs. Admittedly, I’m a jaded full size truck person. I know these are super popular, just didn’t do it for me. If it weren’t for the sentimental aspects, I don’t think I would have kept it as long as i did.

added pic of oem parts. Great xmas package to put under your tree

Congrats sir! Hope she has a long happy and healthy life.

Appreciate it! You never know, this place of unpredictable. Maybe Santa will put a little something extra in your stocking for xmas so you can go get a new toy.

SOLD

If you plan to buy a bit of ammo this year, this may be a deal to consider. Normally I dont do subscriptions, but could rationalize this one. TargetSportsUSA is offering a $50 gift card for signing up for their membership @ $99 and buying a case of ammo from a list of specified brands. This membership gives you 8% off and free shipping. The discount almost nets out the TN penalty. So after the gift card, you can make back the $49 membership cost diference pretty quick. Up till today there weren't any really good deals on the qualifying ammo brands. But they just put up some Blazer brass 9mm for an additional %12 off when doing the above, so drops it to $211 for 1000 before tax (free shipping). They email the electronic gift card after the transaction enters, so no real wait. At least that what happened for me.

Won't put your eye out

One note from an early adopter, and may need to research of this apples still. These had a reputation for breaking strikers from dry firing, which isn’t a typical problem in other center fire guns. Snap caps were recommended. May be slightly overblown, but just fyi. I got the Apex striker when I picked up their trigger for mine because it’s good to have a backup.

I don’t think anyone will try to argue the reliability of a ‘genuine’ glock. Time will bear out this new offering’s place on that scale. It sure as hell won’t be near the polymer80 end of the scale. The modularity seems to be a focus. Whether modularity is an appeal or not, the other aspect that is a significant selling point is the preference based ergonomics. That is what originally drove the clone wars. I have many Glocks, but I won’t ever pretend they have favorable ergos and acknowledge they have a specific training need due to the grip angle. I like that this allows for more standardized training around presentation across platforms. And yes, the modularity

Glad to see more things going the route of modular with serialized FCU. Makes so much sense in a Glock with all their frame and slide combo variations. I bet Glock isn’t thrilled to see this! Reputable company making a quality piece at a substantial savings which is superior to the prior low end faux glock option. First real threat to Glock's sales.

I can say that wasn’t my experience. because it sounded pretty far fetched, I tested it, and it didn’t go down that way. just entered an email and done. You sure you didn’t go to Gungrabbers.com?

At that price, not surprised. I've learned with their emails you gotta strike fast when you see cheap. One of the few places I leave the almost daily spam on cause when they have a deal, it it can be crazy good. Recommend it if you have the patience.

Sorry to hear it Spots. Glad you'll have 15 years of great memories to sustain you thru this hard time.

After today's upsetting news, hope this distraction helps. Used po po M&P 15's for $299. Vendor does not charge the TN 10% penalty, shipping out here to the east side came back @ $17. https://armsunlimited.com/smith-wesson-m-p15-5-56mm-semi-auto-ar15-rifle/

Is that second one what they mean by a ghost gun? Sorry man, couldn't pass that one up, GLWTS
