    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Martyn - I think we ARE discussing it. Just no one is agreeing with you yet. Yes, the right to ownership of firearms is 'enshrined' in the Bill Of Rights - in the Second Amandment to the Constitution, and provides the following: A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a...

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Martyn. I would be very hard to draw a line. Impossible to accept that our legislators could create, or our government would administer any such laws intelligently. Really. "I am from the goverment, and I'm here to help you." The second biggest lie ever told. We all know what the first one is...

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Jonathan, I think they might appreciate the double "WOP" of that .375 H&H. Would be a nice attention getter.

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Martyn, I think you have it partl correct. but there are some things left out... 1. FIREARMS - Purchase of a firearm is subject to both state and Federal regulations - and a mandatory wait while a background check is performed - they take a serial number from the gun and proof of residence...

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Martyn Actually it is very rare for someone to be shot or killed in a hunting accident. In these few cases it seems that the gun is not at fault, but the operator that was in error. I do not think that gun control is an answer to the subject under discussion. That battle has largely been...

    Where do you store your RTT?

    There are a lot of solutions available - including the motorized ones that some of the other posters have illustrated. We sell a manual lift made by Harken - the Harken Hoister - in the USA for $139. This is a nice, simple solution. One of its best features is control of the load both lifting...

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    I think Scott is spot on... ATVs seem to be one reason tha sport is risk. I realize that ATVs are useful - for ranchers, dog trainers, and others. But to HUNT off an ATV on public ground is less than sporting, and leads to environmental damage the instant the rider turns off the trail. I have...

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Increasing nmbers of Bubba hunters... I eventually stopped hunting big game for the reasons cited in the posts here. Nothing at all to do with the actual hunting, just the dorks that I would meet too often. On reflection, one of the reasons that we see an increase in the number of Bubbas in...

    Toyota Question!!

    FZJ80 HP diff with lockers... I expect that this will be hard to find and rather pricey. If you have a rear locker, you most likely do not need the fron locker. If you really need the front locker, it is probably easier to go ARB. If you can find a locked FZJ80 that is being parted out you...

    The Ultimate Awning-shelter?

    MSR Outfitter Wing I have used this product in conjunction with both the Columbus and the Maggiolina tents, and as a stand-alone unit. Very flexible set-up options and doesn't flap in the wind. It is high quality. If it is staked down properly, it performa well in wind and rain. It will stow...

    Why no talk of this 85 FJ60 V8 conversion?

    I had an FJ60 for several years. I modded it for my use - FF rear, H55F, OME suspension, and sliders. It was a nice sanitary truck, but had some minor paint issues - and apearance wasn't on my list of needs. The truck's 2F lacked the power to really effectively pull my OR trailer in the mtns...

    Optima problems??

    I am using the stock alternator and am using the top terminals. It MAY be a truck problem, but I am going to the distributor on Monday for a comprehensive test. If that is clean, I'll start pulling fuses and testing, if that is clean, I'll look at the alternator and consider new...

    Optima problems??

    I had a pair of Optima Grp 31 Yellow Tops in my FJ60. No problems. But the same battery in my 80 needed to be replaced under warranty within about 6 months of purchase because it would not hold a charge, and now I find that the replacement will not hold a charge for very long. Question - is...

    Roof Top Tents? Which one?

    A couple of things to consider If you spend a fair amount of money on a tent, you should also get after sales service - warranty and parts availability. If a dealer sells a line of RTTs I would think that they would want to protect their customers' investment and retain that customer's...

    Snorkel Wars

    Snorkels suck Is that succinct enough? My rig looks sufficiently weird already. Adding a snokel would put it over the top.
