    I had three dometics of various sizes, never an issue with those, and now have a bougerv and I fucking love it. It performs just as well as the dometics at a fraction of the price. Not sure if the compressor would hold up to the wheeling abuse the dometics did, this has never seen that. If you’re just wanting it for lunch stuff, get the smallest you can so it’s the most energy efficient.

    Just used it this past weekend, went “camping” at a drift track.

    Man there's something very satisfying about smoking an IPSC 10x12 silhouette at 300 yards... with irons.

    Finally took my M16A2 clone out to the range, that thing is an absolute sweetheart.

    Sadly my MSG Gary Gordon clone carbine (the "black hawk down" AR) had some issues. My fault for not realizing I had an H2 instead of H3 buffer in it, but that thing was yeeting cases forwards of the firing line, and after 2 mags it would lock up hard on a bad FTF, I think it was a combination of way too much gas and not enough buffer/spring plus the grime from shooting suppressed. Back to the drawing board, it's just a "for fun" gun anyways.

    The batteries on my 2011 TPMS have finally died.

    Any recommendations on replacement TPMS and location to have them installed? Preferably in the East Valley.

    Was thinking of selling the truck so might just run with the tire light on.

    Well, ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately Tim's Taco Tales will be coming to an end. Last Wednesday I hit a parked truck on the way to my Air Force ROTC PT at 5 AM after I looked back for one second because my window visor fell off. Insurance has totaled her today. I am indescribably sad about how my poor decision making led to these events and what happens next. I am not sure where I am going to go from here.

    Not sure what the plan is, my adjustor dropped the "its totaled" email and then dipped from work, so I have no idea. They still have a shit ton of my mods I want back.

    Wanna help out? I definitely don't have the know-how or the deep pockets for anything that crazy

    No fucking way that is totaled. Maybe, maaaybe a few grand worth of suspension work and buff out/repaint the fender flares. Find out what the valuation is, what the buyout is etc. Id wager they are trying to "total" your truck so they can sell it to cover the cost of fixing the vehicle you hit. How bad is the damage on the other truck? Seems like you are getting a bad deal. Get more details and share them here. Fight to keep your truck.
