Get ready for the Cartels to step up their game,...

Why is that supposed to be controversial? What government has ever invited foreign troops into their country, without getting some compensation via some partnership agreement?

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

This meme represents an amazingly good point. And why do I get so frustrated, especially with the so-called expert class, telling me, "This is how you do it," and the" all you have to do is groups" Perhaps, because I am cursed with basic common sense, or I am just cursed, I typically don't ask for advise, until I have already done the basics, much less volunteer to pay for professional help; I have already tried penetrating oil, using a six-point socket, or the correct screw driver size, or using a hammer to tap the screw extractor into the hole I drilled, or go bigger, lol….etc. I also will never object to someone saying, just for grins and giggles, let's go over the basics for fun. The only thing you will hear is the yelp of pain as I kick myself for missing something. This meme is typically how things have to be done in my life. You will hear me saying, "praise God", or at minimum see me having a big smile on my face, if things go as planned. I love my tools; it kills me to sacrifice one of them to the altar of getting the job done. I often wonder if I am alone in this feeling.
Next time just weld a nut to the end of the bolt/stud from the git-go and save yourself all that frustration and tool sacrifices.
BTW, you didn't really lose anything by welding that spiral flute easy out to the bolt.
Personally I much prefer the tapered square version myself, all those spiral fluted ones are good for is swaging the object you're trying to remove in so tight it'll never come out without drilling and picking.

The first public “I’ll take it” followed by a PM has dibs. If you only posted here and did not PM, you don’t have dibs. Why? I WILL NOT PM YOU FIRST! This is to ensure 1) you’re not being messaged by a scammer with a similar username to mine, and 2) to weed out lazy idiots and tire kickers. I’m so sick of wasting time on lookey-loos who are too lazy to put some effort in and message me for what you’re interested in. If you can’t follow simple instructions as outlined above, I don’t wanna deal with your dumb ass lol. Follow instructions, and I’m SUPER easy to deal with. :) These are cross-posted, so act fast!

JP rifle HP bolt/firing pin question

Thank you for the info. I was mostly curious about the durability of the JP hp firing pin and bolt etc. The firing pin for the hp bolt is very small diameter at the tip and that is exactly where it broke. I have spares now, extra hp bolt/firing pins as well as a standard jp bolt and firing pins etc. I think I'll stick with the HP and chalk it up to the tula ammo. That should be the last of it. I have a bunch of Hirt, the JP shoots it surprisingly well but I'll save it for a future 'battle rifle' like a ptr etc. Thanks again

Just give JP a call, they'll take care of you. Probably send out a new Bolt and Firing Pin.

Advice needed for 2017 Buick Enclave repairs

Reminds me of when I took my 1989 FJ62 Landcruiser to a Toyota dealer in Louisville around 2007 when it had around 230,000 miles on it; they listed around $9000 in repairs for it including a steering box and rear seal. I left with the list, changed the oil myself, and drove it as primary vehicle without any of their repairs until I sold it in 2017. Don’t even get me started at the attempted theft by the Volvo dealer my wife insists on taking her XC90 to……..
