Thanks Reed. Do you have a preference between a 9mm and a .40?

The sigma's are currently on the third generation. I think S&W has fixed most of the problems associated with the previous two generations, with the exception of the stiff trigger. As for ergonomics, most of the reviews I've read say that it's better than a Glock, but not quite as good as some other...

After a recommendation by several officers I know, I've been eyeing the Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm and .40 pistols. Most of the web reviews I've read of them are positive. I was told that S&W was sued by Glock because of the Sigma series. A local Gun guru that I've recently been intruduced to can ge...

Nice lookin' smilies.

Yea, it'll get a laser or gun-mounted flashlight within the first few days of my aquiring it.

I think I'd prefer a flashlight. I'll have to do some looking. I do like some of the SureFires.

I did at first too, but after I saw how big the tires in the pics looked, I read over the post again and found it. Awesome.

Looks like he followed in your footsteps, Brule.

Man that looks awesome! I can't wait to get a set of 33's.

Thanks for the lesson in terminology.

I did get SNS right though.

I have a pretty healthy respect for firearms. I have some experience with handguns, but much more with rifles and shotguns. I have a cabinet for storage, as well as locks on everything, and loaded magazines/ammunition is stored in a locked drawer in the bottom of the cabinet. In the case of my pisto...

Ok, my trooper buddy refered me to a local who runs a Gun repair shop that most local law enforcement use. He claims that the guy is the cheapest--and best in the state, and he's not a pawn shop.

I'm going by there in a few minutes to see what he has.

Hmm...ok. I've been two several pawn shops, and most of them are pretty rediculous with their prices. I went looking for my dad a rifle a few months ago, one similar to my Remington 742, and found several, including the replacement 7400 model, but they were way to high. The lowest price I got on a 7...

Maybe I'm just picky, but I've always prefered a semi-auto to a revolver. Don't know why though.

It's going to be a Christmas present from my folks and my wife. Are you wanting to sell any of yours Reed?

I was looking at the Hi Point 9mm, and noticed the other models. Yes, I guess 9mm and larger.

Alright, time for another firearm. :) I'm looking for an inexpensive handgun, and don't mind buying used. I'd like a semi-auto 9mm. I don't have a brand preference as long as it's not Jimenez or an SNS. I'd like something cheap, but would rather not buy than get something questionable. I've been loo...

That truck looks like it's sitting a bit high for just a body lift, but it might be the small tires though. The flares look bigger than Skidz, especially at the bottom. You got me.

Well said sir.

Just kidding. Nice truck Top.

Barely depress the emergency brake. Make sure it doesn't go down enough to actually engage the brake though. You'll have to manually turn them after that.

Jigg, what exactly will the winch mount consist of? Will this be something that will bolt on, or be welded? Or will brackets have to be fabbed to make it work?

Awesome Jigg! I don't suppose you're planning on selling kits for this on your website are ya?

I'd buy in a heartbeat, as that's always how I've wanted my Winch mounted.

Come to think of it, I did use them once to remove the spark arrestor on my four wheeler to let water drain out of the muffler. It had square head.

This is my truck almost stock. The BL was on it when I bought it. At this point I had added 2" spacers to the rear, and the WAAG pushbar on the front, and 235/75/15's. Here's my truck now, after the Skidz Flares, 31/10.5/15's, Rockcrawlers, etc.... http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userp...

You guys ever seen an eight point socket? I came a cross a 20 piece set of craftsman sockets on Ebay a long time ago, before I had aquired most of the tools I have now. When I received the socket set, I was surprised to see eight-point sockets. All 20 of them. I still haven't found a use for them. :...

Man.....you'd better keep this one Reed!

Reed, you need some of those lime green streetlock beauty rings on your wheels.

Wow Borderman, that's a nice grey sweatshirt you've got on there.

YES!

The Zr2 rear axle would only be 1.5" wider per side, which would bring the rear track inline with the front, plus a half inch on each side. I've run 2" spacers on the rear, and the lined the rear tires up perfectly with the outside edge of the fender, so 1.5" shouldn't be too much.

A Zr2 rear axle would be perfect. It would make the rear 3" wider than the front overall.

This is pretty funny. I found it here and have been letting coworkers listen for a week now.

This is also a good one.

New wheels or not, the reason most of us run spacers in the rear is because the front track is wider than the rear. That, combined with the pronounced bulge in the rear fender, serve to make the rear track look even narrower.

I'm looking into it. The flv video format is a pain to work with.

One of Brule's recent projects/modifications made me put his name in there too.

How much money are we talking?

Same here. I'm up to 25K.

I asked the lady if they would honor their price and Reed and I could split them--she laughed hystericaly.

You da man!

Don't do freight. It's much more expensive. Tires can be shipped via regular ground/express services.

Haha I know what you mean. When it came to school discipline, I always got the two for one discount.

I've considered doing this with a pair of round lights that I have, and using some thinner trim around the hole. I've taken a reciprocating saw to my fenders, but can't motivate myself to take a hole saw to my bumper.

Gary, how close do the tires get to the back of the front fender when turning on a level surface?

Anything you buy right now that advertises with the letter "N" is proprietary. Meaning it may or may not work when the "N" standard is decided upon. It's better to stick with 802.11g for the time being until the "N" standard is set.

Every wall or barrier between you and him will degrade the signal. How much degradation depends on the particular application. You could run a coax cable from each router to a point on each house that would allow for line of sight, such as an upstairs window or something. Is that possible at all, or...

That's good to know. Next time you have your tires rotated, can you snap a pic or two of your spacers for comparison to the others? This may prove to be another spacer purchasing alternative.

I don't think the issue here is just being messy. From what I gather, it's basic cleanliness. Regardless of how well they keep their rooms clean, or pickup after themselves, being unsanitary shouldn't be tolerated. I got that from the part about the toilets and showers. I second Jigg. If they refuse...

Never heard of him. I would go through a more well known and tested source, such as CompleteValue, or even Aim Industries, but their spacers are more expensive than CompleteValue's.

In most cases the blame lies with the parents. In most cases, but not all.

Decal King does custom work too, that's how I got my smaller 4x4 sticker.

You know, normally I could be smug and say "my manual seat will still work long after those fancy power seat motors burn out".

But, considering that I have an S-10, that doesn't apply, because like so many others, my manual seat recliner handle is broken.

You'd have to go through GM to get the original parts, and that would probably be rediculously expensive considering the price of OEM accessories. Your best bet would be to get a set of Westin nerf bars, and matching color bedrails, then check out Decal King for a set of Zr5 stickers.

Decal King made me some custom sized/colored 4x4 decals for my CC. They do excellent work, and will do custom jobs.

BobbleSmitty wrote:Why not use spacers???

I second this. Quality spacers should hold up under almost any abuse.

RickZRX wrote:assuming GM didn't put different ratio pumpkins at either end.....

Ratio's? Who said anything about ratio's? We've got to get past the fact that one's a pumpkin and the other's a pear!

BobbleSmitty wrote:Or trade in the crew for a ZR2!

Such blasphemy will not be tolerated here! You have been warned!

Just kidding.

You could swap your rear axle for a Zr2 rear axle. It's got a larger rear differential, and is 3" wider overall. This will help even up the rear track with the front, but won't widen the front any. For that, your best option is spacers or aftermarket wheels.

Do you have nerf bars? If so, are you positive that they're not loose?

I think it was only a few weeks.

Something else to check is whether or not you have the G80 locking rear differential.

The CC looks great Gary! Seeing those big, beefy 32x11.5's makes me want to get those instead of the narrower 33x10.5's.
