Yea, 92 is really secret. The simply blend gasoline stocks that have a lower octane with reformate which has an octane of about 98 to 100. And suddenly you have 92 octane. It's no secret. Ther aren't any "secrets" in refining anymore. There are trademarked things like Shell's Platformate or...
Oh brother, another one that bought into the "top tier" fantasy. I made gasoling for over twenty years. "Top Tier" is like the old Shell hype of using "Platformate". Platformate was a trade marked name that Shell used. Everyone else used the same process and just called it what it was...
Well with the way things are going around here, as of yesterday, I'm upgrading my carry to a 1911full size with an officer size as backup. Truck long gun is now Springfield Scout Squad. If problems come there will likely be large numbers to deal with.
The biggest reason you need a bad mat is to stop things from sliding. The composit bed is slick. In fact, I've seen compsit beds that have been sprayed with Rhino Lining and the lining started to separate in a realtively short time.
You can try 5th gear. But pay attention. If the tranny is hunting (shifting between 5th and 4th frequently) down shift to 4th. On flats with no head wind 5th will like be fine with that weight. When you hit a hill downshift to 4th.
Not needed. But I didn't want to mess with the original butt plate so I picked up a cheapy I could velcro in place. The butt stock makes a handy, if small, storage spot.
As to effectiveness, I've taken birds up to the size of pheasant with a .410. Rabbits and coyote are also fair game.
I remember when cars came with only one key for the doors, trunk and ignition. Of course I remember when push button start was the way you started a vehicle. You see everything old, some young fool reinvents and thinks he's a genius.
For literally decades I carried an AR-7 in my Jeep whenever I went off road. Then came the day when three nefarious types expressed a desire to take my Jeep from me. I discouraged them with the little AR but that .22 lr felt awfully small. I went in search of something that was still compact...
Toyota once put Michelins on Tundras. They were great, long lasting tires. My Tacoma came with Toyos. Can't say I'm impressed, but it likely save Toyota a few buck on each vehicle. I run BFG T/A KO2's on my Jeep. I ran the original T/A KO's before that. These have been outstanding tires...
Same old story. People die and politicians make noise so they can get reelected. Pull all of the troops back, put all the politicians in the front line (if you can find any of the cowards) and see how long a war will last.
I particularly like the ability to quickly and easily remove the cover giving you the entire bed to use. I will fit into the rear seat with it folded down, but I usually just stick it in the garage when not in use. I have a set of pulleys that allow me to suspend it from the rafters.
First thing I bought for my 2020 Tacoma was a Paragon cover. I couldn't be happier. Fairly easy to install, though in one section you doo need a second person to lift the frame onto the bed. I didn't follow directions and did it myself. Then I understood how much easier it would be with two...
Check the tag on the door frame of the driver's side. It will give you the towing capacity from the factory. Note if you are ever stopped that's what the cops will look at. And if you are over that weight, even though you make mods, some will ticket you and park you until you get a vehicle...
