Sorry, I thought that was for me! :ROFLMAO: Agreed on the price point, materials and machine time aren't cheap and neither is time spent designing great parts. I am glad they are on the market as well and I appreciate the fact that there are engineers out there designing aftermarket parts...

Fred, what's your take on all these shenanigans? Riveting, right? :ROFLMAO:

Nope, I lived in BBQ heaven (Central Texas) when I retired from the Army until 2019. Moved up to Denton area and sorely miss my HEB and several BBQ joints. Still need to hit up Goldee's and a few other places here as well.

Ditto on the cash part, I do well and could get them, just won't. Not moaning about people wanting portals, if anyone wants them, hell, buy them. I thought this was a thread to discuss portal axles and their pro's and con's versus a Braptor. I would take the Braptor. I'm not attacking anyone or...

RG is good, LSA is good. Rooster's is my hangout if I am going into town. Juicy Pig is as good as it gets here unfortunately (IMHO).

Portals make room for huge tires, but do nothing for wheel articulation on their own. I would rather have a sensible suspension lift for say $5k, 37s on beadlocks for another $4-5k, bumpers and rails for $4k, and lights for another $3k than just portals. You plunk down your money and make your...

I like Marty B's but I live 3 minutes from Smoke and Fire. Guess which one wins most times? :ROFLMAO:

Dude, I understand the cost of R&D and first-movers and profit taking, but damn.... $20k for portals is out of reach for mere mortals. If your method of increasing ground clearance costs 1/3 the price of the vehicle you are putting it on, you may need to rethink your price model. And, they make...

Smoke and Fire? Its okay. More of a burger joint that also sells some BBQ. Pulled pork and sausage are good. Never tried the brisket. We go when we see a concert at 50 West.

Loved the scene flights, hated the milk runs for a broken finger. I wrote my master's degree thesis on the unethical nature of the EMS industry. Patients think they have zero rights to decline a transport when doctors tell them they are being flown out interfacility. You get on that bird and...

Sorry, I misread. New Jersey has a 9% exit tax. California has the big one.

I may have overstated my case a bit, but I live in Krum and understand the prices completely. I bought a house in a middle class neighborhood in 2020 for a hair under $300k, today I could sell it for over $400. My wife sold her 3000 sqft home in Benjamin (sp) on 20 acres for $335k in 2019. Yes...

Is it true that NY instituted a departure tax on all businesses? Something like 30% of net worth? I heard that and it made me shudder.

I flew 407s after I left the Army. It was like going from an F1 car to a gokart. Unfortunately, EMS sucked all the fun out of flying for me. I felt like a taxi driver with no options on where, when, or how I flew. Plus, the chief pilot in the program had zero cares about things like the dead-man...

Bro, you need to get out of NY. Texas isn't that cheap anymore either, but it's better than NY or California on home prices. Sell your home there and buy a mansion with 20 acres in Texas.

Hello fellow EMS pilot, I flew for Med-Trans for 8 years. Your assessment is spot on. Which company do/did you fly for?

I have always been shown that when using a kinetic rope, you leave a few feet of slack, then pull away like a reasonable person pulls away from a stop sign. Not stomp it like you are running from the cops. I used my kinetic rope 4 times in January pulling Subarus out of snowdrifts in Colorado...

Yes, I get that, the soft shackle gave up and caused the kinetic rope to fly back and destroy the windshield. The point was that the shackle was the failure point, not the rope. If you looked at the picture and didn't read the story, it would look like the recovery point on the bumper broke off...

I am having similar SYNC 4 issues on startup. Frozen screen, Google Maps not displayed correctly, resets itself after a few minutes then works fine.

My friend, you need an intervention. :ROFLMAO:
