I had to google what a "Troy PAR" was. Here's one hit: https://www.huntinggearguy.com/rifle-reviews/troy-par-308-review/ I'm afraid it looks too much like an AR, and everyone knows ARs are bad. And these are black, so that is bad too. So these will have to be banned. (you know I'm being...

I spent 34 years in the Army (retired in 2017). I learned how to fire the M-16 at basic training in 1983. I've slept with them, carried them in Iraq, jumped out of airplanes with them with the 82nd (and sadly in a weird Army kind-of-way that only a soldier would understand, I never got to do a...

That was too easy. Thanks! I wanted to ask before I started just pulling on stuff and then break something.

I'll try again. I want to get rid of this Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock: And replace it with this Magpul CTR® Carbine Stock – Mil-Spec stock: I don't care for the "hook" of the Mission First stock that came with the rifle - it catches on stuff. I haven't tried screwing with it yet...

I'm missing something here.

How hard is it to swap out the collapsing stock on an AR-15? I don't care for the Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock that came on mine, so I want to swap it out for a Magpul CTR mil-spec stock.

On my last Army move from TX to WA, I had the trailer weighed fully loaded and "wet" (gas in containers, cooler full, that's a water can inside the spare tire, etc.). Came out to about 1250 lbs. This little trailer has proven itself over and over again. And it is amazing how much stuff you...

I went out and snapped a few pictures of the "rtt" cover. It essentially unzips from the underside from both sides and the back, and then you just pull the whole thing forward, fold it up, and store it till time to fold the "rtt" back up. Five zippers total (two on each side, and one in the back).

A little bit about tent cots. When my buddy and I went to northern Canada back in 2016 (to run the Dempster), he bought us two double-sized tent cots from Cabela's. https://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Deluxe-Tent-Cot-Double/1591314.uts?slotId=1 (sadly, girl not included) We thought we'd...

Here's one I have on file; I'll have to take some more tomorrow and post them.

I had a cover made custom at an upholstery shop. I brought the trailer to the shop (with the "rtt" attached), and they made it there. It is quite heavy duty with heavy duty zippers. It wasn't cheap though (about $400-something as I recall) but he did a very good job so I can't complain.

Check this thread out: https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f27/mini-harbor-freight-type-trailer-ultimate-build-up-thread-1180456/ It is a long read, but it will pretty much walk you through using a HF type trailer frame and making a nice little adventure trailer. I have literally thousands of...

This is good. Thanks!

WA just passed a major gun control law, so I figured I'd get an AR before the law went into effect. I've been kinda wanting to get one for a while, and figured now was the time. I don't have any specific use in mind for it (other than what most folks get one for). I'm not really a hunter (you...

I just bought a new AR-15 with M-Bus flip-up sights. I want to get it zeroed in. How far to sight it in? 100 meters? I won't be using any sort of special rounds (whatever the regular inexpensive rounds are out there - I might stock up on military surplus stuff)...

I have a Warn M-8000. It came with 100 feet of 5/16" steel cable (we're talking like 10 years ago). It got a bad kink in the cable recently, so I decided to replace the steel cable with 100 feet of synthetic 3/8" line (I also replaced the aluminum rollers with poly rollers). I almost ran out...

Replaced the windshield wiper switch. And more importantly, replaced the 5/16" steel cable on my winch with 3/8" synthetic line. And swapped out the aluminum rollers on the fairlead with poly rollers. Oh; and the aftermarket stereo stopped playing CDs about a month ago, so I put in a new...

I had an 89 Trooper II with the 2.6 four cylinder and five-speed. I miss it (wife got it in the divorce). The thing was a tank - go anywhere and looked good doing it. I liked the 70/30 barn door opening rear doors. I would love to have another one. Only "bad" thing about them is they...

$24.95 for a pack of four of those Kaon replacement studs. Or about $6.25 each. https://ok4wd.com/kaon-maxtrax-replacement-teeth-repair-kit-4-pack

As much as I love my Jeeps (TJ and 2A), that Bronco would give Jeep a run for their money. Solid axles, small diesel... if only. One of the reasons I bought my 96 Ram 1500 new was because I knew it was one of the last of the solid axle full-size half-ton trucks.
