    Finances - which stocks to buy?

    Not necessarily disagreeing with the validity of real estate investing, but never say never. I have some California friends who thought this was true a few years ago! Not today!

    Any local (SLC) places carry POR15 on the shelf?

    .223 "long range" rifle

    A Rock River with std 20" barrel. I just bought it last year and probably just need to get used to it more.

    .223 "long range" rifle

    X2. I have a few ARs, but I would like to build/buy something much more accurate now and am wondering cost vs accuracy on the different platforms.

    Susan Powell, possibly found.

    I guess I think that people generally get what they have coming to them in the long run. If the guy did it, I will be the first to argue that he gets the worst punishment imaginable. If, on the other hand, he just a really strange guy with some bizarre camping habits, I'm glad he can't be...

    how heavy is your rig

    Depends on the model and how it is equipped. The older gas engine 404 troop carrier weighs around 6500 or less, depending on how stripped down it is. A radio box or fire truck is around 8000. Mine is a diesel 416 and 9000-9500 is about normal. The larger U1300 diesel models are probably...

    GMC / Chevy Gasp - I want to remove lift kit on Suburban

    For those kind of dollars, I would sell and buy what you want. Suburbans are a commodity in Utah. I have had one of some flavor of tahoe/suburban in the driveway for over 20 years now.

    Yup - I know the feeling. I've been used as an anchor more than once!

    Ground Zero Mosque, how do you feel?

    Nice graphic! My problem isn't with the guys in either big circle, it's with the sliver of blue folks who want to ride the fence of "tolerance" and won't speak out against the evil the red folks are perpetrating in their name. I recognize that many have, but its difficult for me to trust those...

    Ground Zero Mosque, how do you feel?

    Under most any other circumstances, I wouldn't care. Under these particular circumstances, they should build it somewhere else. If those building the mosque aren't trying to make a political statement, it shouldn't matter that much to them.

    Pony Express

    Just a note if you haven't traveled much out there. The gravel road is smooth, but made up of fairly sharp rocks. Its not uncommon to have multiple flats - especially if driving fast and/or with non-truck rated tires.

    Ham radio guys

    I think you can see from the ARRL site where they are held locally. When I took mine a few years ago, they were held about monthly at a room at L3 Communications.

    Automatic or manual tranny for off-roading?

    You can buy a unimog with a manual tranny combined with a torque converter. You use the clutch to select your gear and then just use the brake and throttle to speed up or slow down/stop. They are primarily used for pulling heavy loads: fighter jet tug, railway shunt engine, etc.

    Emissions

    I don't think any of our vehicles necessarily fits the "special vehicle" category: (57) (a) "Special interest vehicle" means a vehicle used for general transportation purposes and that is: (i) 20 years or older from the current year; or (ii) a make or model of motor vehicle...

    Poor man's Dyna mat????

    Does anyone who has used this notice any bad smell? I've heard others report a tar smell when it gets hot.

    white pine

    That is the one I call white pine. It is fantastic on a mt bike, but only the top half mile and the bottom mile are double-track.

    Automatic or manual tranny for off-roading?

    This thread is hilarious! Best entertainment ever! Just to validate this nonsense, drive down to the truck stop, find the heaviest load there, and see what kind of tranny the truck has in it!

    Mortgage Rates

    Oh and these guys charged about $150 in loan fees + about $1600 for appraisal, credit report, and title company fees. Those last 3 are pretty much the same with everyone I checked.
