Colorado B.S. Thread

That's it. You would need to mount that thing to a roof rack for max EAF points.

That guy's a genius though. Cut some teeth in a $20 shovel, paint it bright colors, and sell it for 5x markup. After you achieve EAF status people will buy it no matter what.

Same thing here.

For that price you could buy a quality shovel and ax, with proper hickory handles. Rattly, metal handle doesn't sound enjoyable to use.

 

picking up my last birthday present later today...... DEKA

 

as long as you're working garden soil like the guy in the pics, should be ok.


If you ever swing an axe with a metal, somewhat floppy loose handle, (pinned together is not tight) let me know if you think it's a good idea to do it again.

 

A good splitting maul will double as a sledge hammer.
A shovel should be shovel shaped, handle is up to you, wood or fiberglass ftw.
The pulaski is underrated and seldom used correctly. Used to be required recovery hardware when in the backwoods or trail riding years ago by the USFS, it's not required anymore due to people removing toes and such.

 

RIP Darwinism... You are missed.

 

I looked all over the factor55 site and couldn't find a splitting maul

 

A good hatchet (not that metal handled trash from Coughlin) and 36" axe are a must too imo.

 

in a pinch a shotgun can be used as an axe*

*with enough ammo - as seen in the movie Surviving the Game Starring Ice T and Gary Busey

 

All I currently have is a Pulaski, Seems like the best tool given our conditions.

My safety sandals are a must when operating it too.

 

Dealership question, are salesmen just that stupid or that shady? Never mind I know the answer. Found a 2008 Lexus gx470 sport completely loaded for a good deal in Indianapolis. Main concern was rust so that was the first question I asked the salesman. He told me he looked it over and didn't see any rust. I asked if he could send me pictures and here is the underside... nope don't see any rust.

 

Ahh, so that's some kind of Dirt literally embedded into the metal?

 

I just see well placed brown dirt!

 

"Frame patina"

 

I would have been so pissed if I flew out there for that. Lesson learned if it's in the salt belt don't even think about it.

 

I was going to say, that is no rust to those folk. You should see a rusty car.

 

I have been looking for a GX also and will buy one out of CA/AZ no problem. UT or any midwest, eastcoast area's not a chance.

 

I guess it is all in context. I feel sorry for those peeps. Will they ever learn and stop using salt?

 

The price is what tempted me. $15400 for a newer low mileage gx sport.

 

I've found 05-07's in AZ with 150ish for 2K less. I just want to spend even less than that! I guess I'm just a cheap ass!

 

They used to be cheaper... before they were #ExpoAF


Just FYI, IIRC
When looking for one, one of the things I was avoiding was getting that "upgraded" stereo. Its some different voltage (18v maybe?) so you cannot easily fix things like speakers.

And the other radio that has built in HVAC controls, you cant upgrade the headunit. And if it goes out, you lose HVAC and its not a cheap fix.
