Impressive. Original transmission? Growing up my dad had a B2300 and then a B3000. Both were good trucks.

My brother had a 2000 F-150 that made it over 300k before he sold it. It required quite a bit of work to get there though. Overall, it was a good truck for him for nearly 2 decades. I still think Toyota builds a better vehicle. We have numerous members on the Tundra forum over 300k with nothing but routine maintenance. A few over 400k and even 1 over 500k. 3 of them have hit 1 million miles on the 4.7L 2UZ-FE.

Interesting twist. For months I was told Covid would disappear as soon as Joe took over.

I've read multiple stories now about people who didn't want the vaccine, got COVID, and subsequently died. I wonder, if in their last conscious thoughts, they are still glad they stuck it to Fauci and the rest. "Tricia Jones, a 45-year-old mother of two in Grain Valley, a small city in western Missouri, did not get the vaccine because she was concerned about the side effects. Her mother, Deborah Carmichael, had felt sick after getting a shot, and Jones decided to wait. This spring, Jones caught the virus. She was hospitalized May 13 and died June 9. Now, as Sherae Honeycutt of Fox4 in Kansas City writes: Her family is praying people will see Tricia’s life as a call to action to get their vaccine — if not for themselves, for the ones they love. “Please take this seriously. You don’t want to see a family member you love go through this,” Carmichael said. “You have a way better chance of coming out OK than if you don’t.” “I really miss you. I miss you a lot,” Adriana [Jones’s 18-year-old daughter] said."

This entire story is odd. I'm sympathetic to a point but I do find it odd that he would bring a loaded .308 rifle into his room. I can understand traveling with a handgun. When I went to Chiraq I took my Glock 19 but I left it in a lock box hidden inside our vehicle since I couldn't legally have it on me. To clarify, I don't have an issue with traveling with a long gun. I've done it. But I'm not going to bring a loaded rifle into a hotel and I'm not going to leave it out for hotel staff to find.

I've only seen the extremely disappointing Bronco Sport which has been driven by a teenage looking girl every time. Looking forward to seeing the real Bronco.

@Chucktshoes @MacGyver Had a weird thing happen last night with this thread. It says it's from 2019 but it showed up on my "new content". I noticed it because I thought DaveTN might have returned. It seems it showed up for @Defender also. Same thing happened with another of Dave's threads. Glitch in the Matrix perhaps?

Permitless carry will affect those with a permit....
Erik88 replied to chances R's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Don't the signs still have to meet specific criteria in order to be enforced? I didn't think "no guns allowed" was enough. This reminds me of 09 when the guns-in-bars laws passed. Give it some time and all the fear and confusion will pass. -
We're starting to learn more about memories and how we can remember things that never happened, or get the details wrong. A few years ago I had to watch a video for work where a semi went through an intersection and collided with a sedan. Two witness came forward and swore the semi ran the red light but the video clearly showed he had a green light, and the sedan was at fault. I thought that was interesting. My wife and I have discussed past events and we each have a different recollection of what actually happened. Of course I just let her think she's right and she probably is. My point is, maybe you're combining details from a few different places in your memory. The brain is weird.

PRODUCT WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE WINCHESTER® 9mm Luger 115 grain
Erik88 replied to Kano's topic in General Chat
It appears the only lot numbers impacted start with SC-SD and none of the numbers you have start with an S. I think your box is ok especially since you said the box looks old. -
PRODUCT WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE WINCHESTER® 9mm Luger 115 grain
Erik88 replied to Kano's topic in General Chat
@bersaguyDid you buy the ammo in the past few months? If not, you should be good. -
If I had that many guns I would never advertise it. Just asking for trouble. I've had friends ask before how many guns I have and I've lied.

@GarufaThis has been a major headache but I'm watching JMS gutters install the new ones. I ended up calling 5 companies but only getting 3 quotes. JMS Gutters- $2,140 to get new 5" gutters, guards, and drip edge. My roof was missing any drip edge so this was important to add. East TN Continuous Guttering- $3,150 for same as above except they do 6" gutters. Daniel Hood Roofing- a shocking $4,700 for same as East TN guttering. Joe's Custom gutters. Never showed up for their appointment here to give me a quote and never called me back. Knoxville Gutter Solution-Same as Joe's. Never showed up. Hopefully this info helps you when you eventually go to replace yours. For reference, I have around 130 ft of gutters and 100ft of downspouts. We went with black gutters instead of white.

PRODUCT WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE WINCHESTER® 9mm Luger 115 grain
Erik88 replied to Kano's topic in General Chat
Given how fast they are likely trying to produce ammo right now, I'm not entirely surprised. -
I don't see the flawled logic. He didn't say they were only encouraging 20 somethings to get the shot. My dad is 65, has heart disease and some undiagnosed issues and he hasn't gotten the shot because of all the bull#### misinformation being spread about the vaccine. If one of these lottery programs enourages folks like him to get the shot, then I'd say it's a win. I still haven't seen any evidence that the shot is more dangerous than Covid. Not sure why we're still talking about it.
-
Why would that be alarming? They are trying to encourage people to get a vaccine that has already saved a ton of lives. If they were forcing it, I might be slightly alarmed. But even that isn't new for hospitals. My understanding is that most have always required hospital staff to show proof of other vaccines.

Imagine having to arrest her, partially naked, after she apparently defecated on herself. No one gets paid enough to deal with that.

23 guns stolen from trailer at the Bass Pro Shop
Erik88 replied to The Legion's topic in General Chat
These #%^k%^g comments by officials and law enforcement really get old. As if the gangsters in Memphis were not already carrying guns. -
For some reason, I've found 2 of those HUGE disgusting cockroaches in the house we just purchased. Never had these in a previous house. A few weeks ago I went to dispose of one in the toilet and that sumbitch flew off the toilet paper and climbed up my hand at warp speed. I screamed like a girl and I hit notes I didn't know I was capable of. My wife laughed so hard she almost cried. I told her next time she can deal with the cockroach.

Honestly that has to be a form of mental illness.

ATF notice of proposed rule change AR pistols
Erik88 replied to partypilot1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I thought they had a way around the filibuster? I guess I'm still skeptical they have enough votes in the Senate to pass anything substantial. Also, above all else, Democrats care about getting re-elected. I think they know gun control isn't as popular as they pretend. We'll see though. Wish folks would chill out so I can buy 9mm again sometime this decade. -

Erik88 replied to partypilot1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I wonder what they are waiting on. 2021 has been full of violence and mass shootings yet they haven't passed anything. Mid terms will be here before we know it. It does seem like it's all been lip service. If they were hell bent on passing gun control they haven't shown it. Hopefully it stays that way. -
I took inventory recently and realized I don't have nearly as much 9mm as I thought. I'm not shooting any more 9mm until things settle down. I'm also not paying $35 for a box.@Moped I do appreciate you sharing this though. Nice to know ammo is out there.

Don't knock DIY plans. I recently painted my stairs like this. I made my wife climb the ladder.
