Ok, so why can’t we go capture our own little place and create our own laws and if anyone says anything we give them the finger?


So they totally screw up their own countries with their way of living and now they come to ours to do the same. If they don’t like our freedoms, they need to go back to their dunes on the other side of the world.

The LBGTQ+ community needs to do a pop up pride parade on one of their religious holiday weekends.

Musta been national work on your Toyota week this week...
Yesterday was front strut replacement day on my Tacoma.
What a chore.
Between the rust and loctite some doof used the nuts🤬, having to cut the top studs off to get the assembly out because the press in studs spun out because of the loctite I didn't know about and having to improvise a spring press to disassemble/reassemble the struts it took nearly 6 hours to do both sides.😡 All that and the only thing really wrong with the old shocks was the eye bushings were shot.☹️
About a month ago I did all 4 ball joints, CV axles, CV axle support bearing, seal and brake rotors/pads and I don't believe it took that long....

Mine has SPC adjustable upper control arms (which means high quality ball joints) so uppers we good but lowers were loose. Not as loose as I imagined but as we all know, when they separate it is catastrophic.

It came with the UCAs and Bilstein front struts with Sonoran Steel springs all around. It has Tacoma knuckles/CVs/hubs from a manual hub donor.

Sway bars are deleted. People get emotional about that but honestly the slight trade in cornering (snicker it’s a truck) is more than made up for in ride smoothness.

It’s my second factory E-locker 4runner so I was lucky twice.



My SIL has a Taco like yours, I love them all 🥰

Red Dot 30mm ring caps for Badger or Nightforce 30mm rings - do they exist?

I have been searching to find a replacement ring cap for the Badger Ordnance or Nightforce 30mm rings. Not the one piece mounts, the older rings. I’d like to put 90* dots on my mk12s and I have come up short.

The 32mm objective (circumference larger than 1.3”) of NXS compact prevents use of the Reptilia stand alone mount. At least as advertised. If I put the 24mm back on, this seems like it would work but the NPR2 reticle is faster for me to hold off than the Mildots.

I’d prefer to not go to one piece mounts for these rifles, as it doesn’t fit aesthetically IMO.

I’m wondering , has anyone used the Nightforce pic rail cap on the 30mm lightweight rings? Curious if it works and how high it puts the the dot.

Had anyone found a solution to mount an RMR or ACRO on older rings?

Accessories Authentic @theis striped uppers

Has to be. I think just I bought 40. Other guy in this thread bought 50?

got to be more than 250
I think they came in cases of 12

I don’t think we had 100 cases..but I’m prob wrong. Was 4/5 years ago.

The mark up on them was very low we pretty much just passed them through because they were sold “as is”. Didn’t want people bitching that it’s out of spec and costs X

actually I think there is a thread on it..I’ll try and find it and take a count.

None of these are “budget” though.

Tariff effects on imported optics

All of this stuff is complicated and inter-related. I agree with ToddM - you really have to go back to the 1980's. Corporations realized that they could substantially reduce the cost of producing goods, lower their prices and actually increase profits by moving production overseas. It was a lot cheaper to pay a worker in Mexico or Vietnam $2 an hour to build cars or make sneakers than to pay an American worker $20/hr. And if suddenly Nike could actually lower prices and increase profits by moving production overseas, it wasn't long before its competitors (Reebok, Adidas, etc.) followed.

Ultimately, tariffs aren't going to solve this structural problem. In the short term they're basically a regressive tax that increase the cost of goods to consumers. But in the long term, even if they are successful in bringing back mfg. to the U.S., costs are not going to come down because U.S. wages are still significantly higher than in the third world countries where these goods are currently produced. So any money the mfg. saves on avoiding tariffs ends up being offset by the higher production costs they are faced with by making their products back in the U.S.

And unfortunately corporate greed is basically built into the system. It is human nature that people act in their own self interest. So when you tie the compensation of CEO's and top executives to the stock price and short term profitability of their company you encourage behavior that maximizes corporate profits above everything else. That's how they get bigger bonuses and their stock options become more valuable. And if the consumer or the employee working on the production line gets screwed - the CEO can always console himself by buying a bigger yacht.
