    Right to carry past till now?

    I think I got my first bb gun at 5:D I got my first shotgun at 10, a 20ga 1300 winchester. My oldest son, got a 20 ga 1300 winchester at 10. When my youngest turns 10, he'll get his first shotgun. Its like a tradition I guess. The duggar family have a target on their back anyway, they're pro...

    aluminum flashing for bonding a vehicle?

    I guess that was my main concern, bonding the aluminum to steel knowing aluminum oxidizes almost instantly. Thanks for saving me some work.:)

    aluminum flashing for bonding a vehicle?

    I've been working on bonding my pickup. I had enough 3/4" flat copper braid to bond all the body parts, bed to cab to hood to fenders and so on. Now I'm out of braid and need to bond the body to frame. Would aluminum roof flashing work for this? I was going to cut 2-3" wide strips, and use...

    never thought I'd see this again

    Yes CK, I believe you're right. The sanctions the U.S. imposed on Russia over Ukraine, Puten just laughed at. So the west got the saudi's involed, because they were already pissed about russia relationship with iran. This may be all speculation, but regardless they're playing the standard oil...

    never thought I'd see this again

    The way I understand it, the leader of opec (saudi's) are crashing the market to pretty much put other oil producers out of buisness. Their production cost is somewhere around$4-5 a barrel, so they can sustain a drop in the market for some time. Producers in Russia, Africa, the U.S. and even...

    my 142 GTL - CAUTION! - graphic images

    I have a similar project goin on myself, lots of fun huh:confused: That ic looks like your 8v regulator. It has 8 pins correct? See if you have 8v at pin 1, some of the problems you describe go along with a bad regulator. I believe it was common in those radios. The red wire at pin 1 may be for...

    Cobra 4 pin to Uniden 5 pin Adapter

    If you're handy with a soldering iron, not to difficult to make an adaptor. I cut the plug end off an old 5 pin mic, left 4-5 inches of wire (can leave it any length) and soldered the cut end to a 4-pin mic jack from an old radio. Then covered with heat shrink tube. Here's a wiring diagram...

    never thought I'd see this again

    Didn't think I'd ever see gas under $3 again, let alone under $2/gal. This is just outside of Cincinnati this afternoon. Diesel finally starting to drop as well.

    Ranger sra 198 microphone

    I've heard of people cutting out the capacitor inside the mic, like they used to do on the rk56. I got mine from redman a couple years ago, can't see where any mods were done. There are a couple vids on the net comparing them with other mics ss well, 636, 575 m6 and some others. The sra198...

    Sitting ducks pics of his rig are a good example of how alot of trucks are built here in the U.S. He has a high top sleeper, meaning inside the cab and sleeper are open to the top of the air dam, that are mostly made of fiberglass. Truck hoods are also made of fiberglass. The only metal in the...

    mobile set up help???

    Where do you suggest is the optimal place to mount an antenna on a semi? Top/center of the cab is just not going to happen for most of us because of air dams or your boss just won't let you drill holes in their truck. Is the back of the cab a better option?

    has anyone had a radio built by lesters customs?

    Hey wheelman, what does it do on a.m.? His vid showed a 100 watt dk, swinging to 400 or so. Does the variable power control just the radio, or is it variable for the amp too? As others have said, I would also upgrade your power wire to at least no.4 on that long of a run.

    An American Sniper

    Its funny how that story came out AFTER he died, and was told to a reporter by a supposed "pal" or "buddy". Besides, any story told by a source with new york in its name, I take with a grain of salt. I don't care if Kyle told this story or not. I don't care if he knocked jesse ventura's ass out...
