Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

@Sandman614 what day you want to hit Fuquay gun and gold? Just getting my Glocks ready for sell/trade.

 

Whatever works for you. Wednesday @JimboAnz is coming to get his gears done!

 

I likely will just go into the raleigh office and work that day

 

Want to go tomorrow then? We can meet for lunch at the Avatar and then hit up gun and gold afterwards

 

Tim fixing your gears?

 

nah, ECGS

 

That was my other guess. I was about to tell you good job for getting Tim to do something finally. Hahaha

 

That works!

 

"They're" a contraction of They Are

"They're out of stock " .

Their - a possessive " belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified."

There - Adverb, meaning "that location"

 

Thanks mom, they're out of stock

It's funny, English class was one of my most dispised classes in HS, yet mis-applied or mis-spelled words and phrases irk the hell out of me.
I was lucky to get out of HS alive.

 

Damn that's a serious project. What are you building? Nice work...

 

My 81 Yota AKA the Seagul, 4 link the rear end with conduit rear section. truck before

 

we doing lunch?

 

if I am at our raleigh office, no telling what kinda crap Ill get pulled into, corporate HQ and all I might take the day off though, we'll see

 

I did some thinking on the way back from Choccolocco Mountain ORV. Jimbo brad and I convoying. I don't think drafting took much effect into calculations. I was probably the heaviest truck and didn't stay close enough to draft.

Probably the closest case study of short-term gas mileage. With "controlling" as many variables as possible.

Trucks:
@JimboAnz DCSB, 265/75/16, bumpers, skids, rtt
@Sandman614 DCSB, 265/75/16, bumpers, skids, solar panel and traction mats
@HrBrad8 DCLB, 265/70/17, skids, soft tonneau

"controlled" variables:
Tire size
Type of truck
Speed
Throttle control
Bed coverage

A few observations on gas mileage:
- Jimbo approximately 15 mpg
- Brad consistently around 20mpg
- Myself 17 - 19mpg

Conclusions:
- Armor eats up a little bit of mileage
- Armor & bed bars and extra load eats up more
- RTT are big parachutes, gas hog

 

@JimboAnz sounds like the heaviest with bumper, skies, and RTT vs you

 

Wasn't Jimbo FWD on the way home?

 

Depends on how heavy the Iguana RTT is vs 5gallon fuel, 5 gallon water, Spare Driveshaft, 2nd Battery, solar panel, traction mats, etc.
