    I'm using a 20v Dewalt impact. My 18v worked fine for years til I sold it.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Ha! Dude mine is archaic. I have an IM5100. The old all metal cased ones with the little condom boot on the outside. I abuse that thing more than any other tool I have. It gets thrown under the truck from one side to the other all the time. Damn thing will still do 600 ft lbs on reverse with a 3/8" hose and a good compressor though!

    IR makes great pneumatics. You can't go wrong either way.

    Yar... I've got my eyes out for job postings. Probably wait to continue buying shit until I've got something lined up.


    Found a damn FJ80 for 1500 with blown motor. God I want it.

    Right up the damn road.

    I'm looking in particular at RMGC for a PM shop position. If it starts getting close I'll probably apply with Hycroft/ Allied Nevada and then Newmont and Barrick. Then I'll look at smaller companies.

    I'd be down for Elko Winnemucca or even Ely so we'll see but I kind of would like to go out to Round Mountain as odd as that seems.

    Either way I'm looking at the mines, period. I do have some former mining experience. :)

    Just for fun...

    Damn this cruiser on CL with the shit engine and for an insane price is a 92, which is probably the perfect year for this swap. FAWK ME I have no monies.

    Time to sell some shit.

    If you get an interview at newmont's Phoenix project, my dad will be your interviewer/boss. He's over all the medium and light duty equipment for phoenix and lone tree. That is if its for the smaller stuff.

    That's what I'm wondering. :( I could sell a rifle but I really don't want to.

    Interesting... need to find an open position first. Not sure I want to end up in BM though. :eek:

    I'd be okay with Winnemucca but not into BM myself.

    07 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Access Cab, 1GR-FE 4.0L V6 and 6 spd manual trans.
    Truck has slightly less than 65,000 miles on it.
    All maintenance and mods done by me. Truck has only been to Toyota, and no other shops, to have TSB rear leafs and the spiral cable recall done. Gas pedal is untouched.
    Oil and oil filter changed at 1k miles and then every 5k miles or less since. Switched to full synthetic at 10k miles. U-joints lubed frequently. Gear oil in trans changed every 30k, front and rear diff oil changed very often. Air filter changed as needed but often. Spark plugs changed every 30k. Replaced front wheel bearings at 40k with all new seals and OEM Koyo bearings. Replaced rear passenger wheel bearing and axle shaft at 60k with OEM Koyo and OEM shaft.

    Crack across lower front windshield, pin-striping, and 3 small dents on passenger rear door. Truck is clean inside!


    What do you guys think? I'm keeping my radios, lights, hi-lift, mid and t-case skids and OBA. KBB about 17,000 in good condition. Theres a couple dings and scratches and the flares could be cleaner, or at least one of them, but otherwise the truck is very mechanically sound, and it's in good condition. Next to no rust as well.

    I'm thinking 20k even. ???

    Pretty sure I'm going to sell her. She's been fun but I'm looking at some different options. She's too nice to turn into my beater and I have an insatiable lust to modify and destroy so I'm better off just letting her go.
