Nice bumper. I have the quarter guards in my truck. I'll hit you up tomorrow or Sunday to see if we can link up.

Your rig looks nice! I'm house shopping, waiting until that's done until I tear into my two door.

Well I am officially back on the road again, me and the jeep it seems. Made three trips today, and got up to 60 mph for 1 mile on the freeway with no sign of death wobble yet.
7 days since my second surgery, 3 days with out pain meds, and recovering pretty well so far. Hoping for a much better year next year. The last 3 sucked.

Hope Y'all had a Merry Christmas!
I Did....... Rented a car & Drove 300 Miles (One Way) to Go back Home.
(Still Workin on Replacing the Floors in the Jeep)
Had a Great Time Visiting w/ My Mom, Dad & 2 Brothers.
Left w/ 1 Gun (on my belt) & returned w/ 2 Guns!
Traded my Dad a Mossgerg SSI-1 .223 Single Shot Rifle for a Marlin MR-7 .270 Bolt Action Rifle & he threw in 4 Boxes of Ammo!
Both are quite Rare (Only Made from 1996-1999)
Both were made in 97.
The Rifle I came Home with is an Unfired, NRA Presentation model MR-7 w/ NRA Medallion & a Matte Finish, Fancy Walnut Stock! Sweet Rifle!
Mounted a Vortex 4-12 X 44 Scope on it Last Night.
Can't wait to get it to the Range & Shoot it!
Here's to a Happy New Year to All & to All a Good Night.

Nice. I recently picked up a Tikka T3 lite stainless in .270 and put a Leupold VX3i 3.5x10x40mm on it.
After I zeroed it, I had a three shot group cutting each other at 100y.

Brady 100 yds is that a pistol
My dad used to have a pistol that could do that.
Thompson contender 6.5mm with hand loads. I don't remember what kind of scope it was or the load recipe.

iluv83vettes,
Had a Vette once upon atime.
1968, 427cu.in./435HP w/ an 1180 Holley Double Pumper w/ Mech. Secondaries, Eddlelbrock Tarantula Manifold, Dual Gate Shifter, Fender Well Headers & Side Pipes.
(All Stock/According to the Build Sticker in the glovebox).
Ran it on the Qtr. Mile in OKC back in 1978 & Clocked in at 12.88 & 123mph!
Was Runnin 5 gal. Ethyl High Octane (102) Gulf Pride Gas & 4oz. Nitromethane.
You could still Buy it Back then at the Auto Parts Store.
Dang thing could Pull the Front end Off the ground about 12" on TakeOff & Leave 2 Big Black Stripes on the pavement.
H3ll, I could Floor it @ 55mph & get Rubber for 15-20yds!
Fastest I Ever drove it was 135, on I-240 in Oklahoma. (Had a 140 mph Speedo)
Scary Fast Car! Sorry, But, Just Don't Like the 80's & 90's Body Style.
Bet that Tika turns into Your Go To Rifle for Long Range Shooting Tasks.

I didn't realize the 437/435 was made in 68. Thought it was only 66-67.
I made this screen name 18 years ago when my dad had an 89. There is only 1 '89 and it almost fell in the sinkhole at the museum.
Even though I hit the 300m targets with tumbling green tip and iron sights, with the glass I have on the tikka I don't want to go past about 400 yards on a deer. I'd go farther on pigs because I don't care about a clean kill for them. Plus I don't have much opportunity for longer shots.

iluv83vettes,
IIRC 68 was the Last year for that engine in the Vette.
Wish I'd never sold it!
Saw it again at a Car Show in FLA, back in 91.
Knew it was the Same Car because I had Written my Initials on the Build Sticker in the Glovebox, Back in 1978.
New owner had Fully Restored the Car & Repainted it Black w/ Blk Interior.
He said that Car didn't win "Best in Class" because of it!
Car Looked Fantastic & Got an Honorable Mention Trophy.
Guy said I could Buy it back for $85K! Wow!

Meeting me at about 9:30-10 am just east of Hobby airport, I-45 at Airport Blvd. Driving in from the north on I-45 I assume, and heading back that way I assume?
