You should post  "For Sale" to that other site.......
Mike, I think that ship left the port!

I was really interested because there was employee pricing for the whole month of the October. That pulled the price tag on that truck down to $49K for the average joe, then another $500 for being an ex GI-Joe, and another $1000 discount for being a USAA member.

I was looking at a brand new Powerwagon which was pretty loaded up for $47,500 ish.

Now the only incentive is 12% off sticker for the older 2016 trucks. I lost half the discount.

Remember too, I prayed over this. I think the answer this time was clear. I may want a PW, but in God's timing it is not yet time. I trust his judgement!

Roger that, Chevy on!

Oh, and the CAR-Rep:

Which is actually a CAR-Rep (-) this time

We stopped working early when I didn't have a replacement shear pin on site...Yea...

20253
So, the range will be 45 feet wide from pole to pole for normal target placement. We plan to add in some steels as well here and there to practice multiple target engagement and team shooting drills.

Also still to come are targets at 25 and 100 meters, and possibly a 50 and 75 yard plinker as well for the rim fire guyses

Next we started punching holes back at 200 meters for the shed roof that will shelter the shooters bench which will make its appearance shortly.

We had another big success out there today. THe wiring was inspected by the state inspector and passed. I am cleared to get the power company to inspect the ditch and if approved, then they will hook me up to shore power.

In eager anticipation of all this, I took advantage of the preseason Northern Tool heater sale. I picked up one of those upright oil filled units and a cozy little hot wire room warmer upper! She will appreciate that (If I can ever get her to go down there!)

20254
It took a bit but we now have five tubes sunken in place.

The end tubes are angled slightly outward and will only hold dead-men anchors. The center and left and right wing piles will support a double 3/16" aircraft cable. The cable will anchor and be tightened with a turn buckle on the left and right anchor points.

We will make up Plywood panels or steel frames or something to hang on the cables.

The beauty of that is I can have a couple hanging, or set up 15 or perhaps more when I entertain the guys on a weekend shoot-em-up get together while the chili is ah-cookin'

20255
The new plan called for one pole in the center of the range, then another left and right of center, 22.5 feet.

So we punched those and actually got the two holes sunk in to sufficient depth!

20256
This was the maiden voyage for the auger I purchased this past summer. It is a brute. I ran it at idle most of the time and while running that auger the tractor's engine never seemed to notice

Next we tried to drill the other matching hole, 24" away

No dice...went down a few inches and hit a big rock

So we moved to the other side and managed to drill another 6" deep hole

So back to the original spot but aft about a foot. Same deal, made it maybe 6 inches and the auger came to rest on a big rock

So this backed us up and caused a rethink of the plan

20257
Got some more done today. Keith helped again on the Archibald Henderson Range.

We had cut enough 18" long sections of 4" PVC to set in eight shooting lanes with each target having a left and right post to which we would attach either plywood or Cardboard to which targets could be fastened.

So we started off punching out the first hole...I hit lots of pesky rocks...

No actually, but odd thing is we were probably in Baghdad the very same time. I got there in the middle of October, 2005, those guys were already there.
Now a little bit later an Apache got shot down by one of our very own Stingers all the way up the river on the north side of Baghdad, near the electric plant.
You know them?
Let them know you know one of the BlackWater little bird guys flying out of LZ Washington about the same time frame...

Dammed Clintons!!!!




DEA Official Spills the Beans on the Clinton Foundation

Rules for thee, but not for me.
Without much comment or fanfare, I am going to present a note sent to me by a DEA informant who I had a great amount of contact with over two years ago. My long-time readers may recall that during the Central American immigration invasion, I had contact with two DEA agents working independently. The information provided to me has stood the test of time.
Everyone has to make up his/her mind as to the authenticity of this account. However, I want reiterate, I have had extensive contact with this person and their information has always been first rate.
 
Dear Mr. Hodges,
As you will recall, I had intermittent contact with you during the so-called Central American immigration crisis during May-July of 2014 in which I shared my experiences with you as a result of my work with the DEA.
I am sure you will recall that I introduced you to the inner workings of terrorist training base camps operating in El Salvador as well the planned influx of MS-13 trained assassins into the United States which was accomplished with the oversight of DHS. These forces will soon come into prominence in the coming weeks and months. We are going to see violence in this country on an unprecedented scale just as we are seeing in Europe with the Muslim immigration, the local police will be powerless to act because they are ultimately controlled by federal agencies like DHS who will roadblock normal law enforcement. I am telling you it is hard to not believe that the real goal is to perpetuate massive civil unrest so that more formal uses of governmental power can be brought to bear against and potential American dissident movement which has really mushroomed since the beginning of the Trump candidacy
My purpose for writing to you today is to let you know that I have contact with DOJ and in particular many FBI officials as a result of daily activities. I have to watch my ass and it is not as it was two years ago when we first communicated. I am determined to see the release of certain information prior to the election because I believe you and others are correct when you say, the criminal cabal that seems to have taken over key positions in our government are poised to change America and my children and yours will have to try and survive what is coming and then they will have live in this crap hole.  I am playing this very close to the vest. Responding to this email will be pointless as all of our future conversations will have to remain one-sided but I am not writing anything that I do not want released. Please release everything I am sending to you.
To a person my colleagues feel betrayed by the present FBI Director and Attorney General, but I am telling you that Obama is controlling the activities through his appointed CIA operatives who have infiltrated the DOJ as well as military, generally, and the FBI, specifically. The tone of the influence is decidedly pro-“Radical” Muslim and anti-American in the traditional sense. This undue influence often seeks to perpetuate the activities of those people of privilege who seem to be beyond the reach of traditional law enforcement. Their activities include gun running and drug dealing. This has reached into your area because Maricopa County Sheriff Joe will be/is the victim of election fraud because the certain people want him out because he will not look the other way when it comes to cartel drug activity in Arizona which is key because Arizona is a border state.
Your reporting of the corrupt voting machines in your area seems to be correct but Arpaio is more of a target than Trump because he is an impediment to drug trafficking in your area. You have to remember that your Sheriff was at one time one of us, so we know what we are seeing. Yes- I am saying that Obama’s DOJ is protecting the drug dealers by going after Arpaio. The persecution of the Sheriff has nothing to do with the violations of the civil rights of immigrants and has everything to do with his refusal to cooperate with the Obama administration by looking the other way when it comes to both cartel and the intertwined activities of terrorists that have crossed our borders in great numbers since 2010.
Most will never know who these people are until they act. They live among us, work with us and their children even go to school our children. When they are arrested, DHS shows up to intervene and the issue is cloaked under the guise of racial prejudice and border agents and local law enforcement who are over-stepping their bounds. The police are so discouraged that they have basically given up.  This is actually a case of thinly disguised criminal enterprise corruption and DHS always runs the interference. This is a lot of what you see in these inexplicable catch and release activities. The bigger the drug and gun fish that is apprehended, the quicker they are released to repeat the same actions.
A case in point from the past: Do you remember when Congressman Bridenstine tried to enter a holding facility for immigrants at Ft. Sill during the 2014 immigration crisis and he was told by DHS to come back and make an appointment? DHS was attempting to shield what was truly going on which was the introduction of foreign operatives into mainstream America. West African terrorists are also coming across our border with bad intentions, not just people from Central America and the Middle East. I have every indication that these forces are ready to unleash massive waves of destruction in our country as their drug activities have increased exponentially in the past several months. They are raising money for purposes that extend far beyond mere living expenses.
You have written that you expect the left to unleash terror attacks should Mrs. Clinton not win the election through whatever means is at her disposal. You are correct, but I think this may be a moot point.  Speaking of Mrs. Clinton, the Foundation is the most criminal enterprise organization on the face of the earth. They avoid detection because of the use of their shell corporations which gives them at least 2-3 degrees of separation.
When the President of the Philippines executed thousands of drug dealers he was upsetting the balance of trade in the drug industry and I believe he was cutting into Foundation activities. This is why Obama was going to Manila to personally speak with him until Obama was attacked with a tirade of insults and name-calling by this newly elected President. This politician will not be in power for long. The CIA has a way of taking the massive protests that we see in the news and turning it on whomever they want to displace. The people of the Philippines are protesting the military presence in the Philippines today but this could be turned into revolutionary force tomorrow. This is why this rogue President is moving towards  aligning with China and you have picked up on that in an arti0cle I read. This President is looking for protection and he should be.
The world war that is coming has a lot to do with drug wars, not just Syria. There are clear divisions in the world that are firming up along these lines and it would be a mistake to ignore these developments.
The DEA is just as corrupted as the FBI, as we are still honoring our under-the-table agreement with the Sinolas in which we agree to only interdict 20% of the drug shipments into the United States in exchange for some unknown amount of intelligence information. How many terrorist cells do you think we are knowingly letting in along with the drugs? It was during the same time frame that you and I were talking that Judicial Watch came across the ISIS and drug cartel base camp near El Paso. I am sure you asked yourself how many facilities like this one exist and if there are any inside of the United States? There are and they are now working with foreign entities inside the United States. When we make our token busts, we frequently come upon the involvement of Russian and Chinese national who are in this country and they are immediately released by DOJ and DHS. It is starting to look like one big and happy criminal enterprise family that is international in scope but does enjoy the protection of the Obama administration.
Your article about a multi-pronged attack including a Red Dawn element is close to what I know to be a real possibility and this is the advanced force designed to disrupt command and control in the coming war. The sad thing is that many agents suspect this and we are powerless to expose it. Congress has been tipped off and they show no interest.  A lot of the reason that I think you are correct about what you have recently written, are the paramilitary base camps in and around San Salvador which have now spread to Honduras. this is a growing problem and growing concern. These terrorists have been trained on stingers and 50 cal weapons. They are also serving as drug transport entities.
In the past couple of days since Director Comey announced he was reopening the investigation on Mrs. Clinton, I have had several advanced warnings of what was coming. The Clintons have fallen into disfavor with important entities- groups.
My colleagues believe that more than Mrs. Clinton is being targeted and that there are unknown actors looking to commit a hostile takeover of the Clinton Foundation because the Clintons have stepped on important toes in the international drug and gun trade, in particular, in Peru, which is the conduit between Middle East terrorists and the cartels.  As I have told you before, my associates on the FBI drug task force(s) tell me that this reopening of the investigation is not the result of Director Comey being pressured to act against Mrs. Clinton from within the FBI, as many publications have insinuated. The sudden turning of Director Comey against Mrs. Clinton is motivated by forces outside of the FBI. At least that is what we are being led to believe and I think it is so. Any agent that would launch an investigation into any of the areas that I have mentioned here would be finished or worse.
I have spoken with some who participated in the original email investigation. When the emails led to guns and drugs, the emails were destroyed and this line of the investigation was reduced to a series of meaningless leads. I know this for a fact because we had some of the same information.
Everyone of the agents will privately admit that the first FBI investigation was designed to produce exoneration for Mrs. Clinton. My people are aware of this because some of the subject matter involved money laundering from drug and gun operations.  Don’t make the mistake in believing that this present investigation is any more or any less honest that the last one. Of course, you should also not believe what you are reading and seeing in the press. The Clinton duo is being taken down for reasons that are unknown to me by forces that I have to come to believe control Director Comey and AG Lynch. In one of your most recent articles you talked about Clinton being elected and then indicted. This opens an endless universe of possibilities about how the transition of power will be handled in January.
Many of us believe that the United States is about to become a thinly veiled narco terrorist state, the biggest in the history of the world. I could see cartel members, of their representatives visiting the White House in this next administration. At present in the DEA, we are most often cast into the role of blocking legitimate investigations in these areas. Some fear that we will soon become facilitators. To date that role has always been fulfilled by the CIA. However, we think it is going to permeate the ranks of my agency. By the way Dave, you have claimed to have contact with another DEA source during the time we were speaking. Be careful, trolls abound with false information.
I strongly believe that Hillary could be indicted. I think that what you have written about the possible scenarios following an indictment is possible, but that part is unknown and unconfirmed from my perspective. I do know that the FBI investigators with our assistance are still being limited in what they can look at. I have been contacted for information related to past drug investigations only to have the requests prepared and the FBI no longer shows any interest in the information, particularly if it is drug related.  Any investigation that includes drug trafficking and money laundering seems to still be out of bounds. The Weiner angle is laughable but they may make it stick.  It appears to some that it is open season on Hillary Clinton at the Bureau with regard to these emails.
It is my belief that if Mrs. Clinton survives this latest round, and I do not think she will, we are going to see a massive purge in the government like this country has ever seen. I have given you a lot to digest so I am going to close for now.

Currently setting lookout for a polar bear so the kiddos can go trick or treating.
Not at all a normal situation. This bear is apparently lost, we normally don't have them around town. The community as a whole really stepped up, and we have a pretty good blanket around town.

Now on a more interesting note, the lake has begun to freeze. Had to break out of 50-60 feet of half inch ice yesterday leaving the cabin. Boat season might just be done for the year.
I did manage to get some of the solar set up and I believe I am done with the outside portion now.

Now the pics or it didn't happen...



Once I have everything and a bit more done I'll do the 1kW off grid solar thread.

Happy Halloween everyone!
We would appreciate that!

And be safe!

This will be an in-depth presentation on how to prepare for possible unrest or terrorism in urban and suburban areas and how to make an emergency plan for your family. We'll discuss how to prepare to shelter in place as well as what you need to do to safely get out of town if need be. Be ready before anything happens. Register now.

The discussion will be led by Stewart Rhodes, President and Founder of Oath Keepers.  Presenters will include:
 Threat briefing:  Threat group analyst "Navy Jack"; current police academy defensive tactics instructor John Karriman (team leader in our Ferguson Ops who understands what it's like to go up against arsonists and looters);  SWAT veteran and current serving peace officer, Greg McWhirter (who worked riot control on major civil disturbances as a big city cop); and EOD expert SGM Joseph Santoro (Ret), who will speak on the threat of IEDs  (what we have seen overseas is coming here).
Recommended plans, countermeasures, and preps: Above panelists will be joined by personal security specialist Bill Witten; U.S. Army Ranger veteran Ivan Chiplinsky (lessons learned from multiple Florida Hurricanes on sheltering in place that apply in man-made storms too); U.S. Army Ranger veteran Jim Arroyo (Arizona Oath Keepers CPT Director who successfully partners with local police  for community security); LDS food storage and preparedness expert Ron Norton, and emergency medical and communications expert Nick Meacher (yet to be confirmed). We may add one or two more if needed, to cover all critical subjects.
 
Together, they bring with them many years of experience dealing with personal security, law enforcement, civil unrest, terrorist threats, and the policies and procedures that both help and hinder the average citizen when things get ugly. This will be a fast-paced but well organized webinar to give you what you really need to know and do, to be ready in case of "SHTF" post election.
We will take audience questions after each major topic. In addition, we will post written supplementary materials on each topic.
After the webinar, all participants will receive a coupon for 10% off* merchandise and memberships in our store.
Register now and be sure to join us on time. We're limited to the first 2000 people to sign on.
As patriots, we need to be prepared so we can fulfill our duty to our family, our community, and our country. Now is a good time to check your plan (or form one!), check, organize, and shore up your equipment/supplies/preps, and get your you-know-what wired tight, just in case.  - Oath Keepers

SITUATION NORMAL IN ASH CARTERS'S PENTAGON....

 

By Ray Starmann, DefenseWatchma

 

It was another stellar week inside the Pentagon social engineering maelstrom. Inside Ash Carter’s laboratory, the final stitches are being sewn on the feminized Frankenstein monster that calls itself the US military, but is nothing more than a Bob Fosse musical with weapons.

 

Once upon a time, when the military was actually a functioning fighting machine, transsexuals, cross dressers, aka, the Corporal Klingers of the world were kicked out and given Section 8 discharges for being mentally ill. Of course Klinger’s biggest problem was that everyone knew he really wasn’t a cross dresser, but was using it as a scheme to escape the hell of Korea. Hence, his indefinite stay on the 38th Parallel.

 

Flash forward to Looneyland, aka the US military in 2016, when the mentally ill are now being welcomed with open arms. In fact, the Pentagon recently issued a new handbook for transgenders and their commanders.

 

Transgenders are going to receive gender reassignment surgery courtesy of Aunt Samantha, who was once Uncle Sam. Furthermore, millions have been put in the Pentagon piggy bank for these services, money that could have been used to treat vets and active duty personnel with real medical issues.

 

As reported in the Weekly Standard this week:

The Department of Defense issued its official implementation handbook for transgender service members and their commanders on Friday, just days before a Pentagon deadline for the military to provide gender transition medical care to members of the armed forces.  According to a Pentagon spokesman, “Service members are able to get the full gamut now. Counseling, hormone therapy, surgery—the whole deal.”

 

Vets die waiting in line for health care and the Pentagon makes this a priority. What a disgrace!

As “an administrative management tool,” the handbook is the core policy guide on which each of the services will base its own implementation plan. The handbook defines key terms, such as “gender dysphoria,” the clinical designation for individuals who feel that their sex and gender do not match. And in an introductory section titled “The Basics,” the handbook explains the differences between sex and gender identity, an understanding of which is now necessary for all military personnel:

 

The Pentagon sure has been churning out a lot of tool kits lately. There’s the commander’s tool kit for brainwashing yourself and your fellow troopers that Buffy, the cute little cheerleader next door is going to be able to go toe to toe with Joe Habibi from ISIS in a K Bar fight to the death. There are commander’s tool kits on lactation in the field, your new commander Colonel Liberace, how female Rangers can urinate while standing, the Bible as a racist, sexist document and Diversity as a Combat Multiplier.

 

Of course there’s no commander’s tool kit on how to set up a mortar, or how to stop a wounded soldier from bleeding to death, or how to put a hole in Ivan at 300 meters. Those things, those military type things are passé in the Chorus Line military. What matters is diversity and political correctness.

 

“Every person has the right to have their gender identity recognized and respected, and all Service members who receive a diagnosis that gender transition is medically necessary will be provided with support and management to transition, within the bounds of military readiness.”

 

The Pentagon is making it more than clear that their priorities are not fighting wars, but instead focusing on a plethora of social engineering fiascos that are wasting the military’s time and burning through taxpayer money, while real defense issues are completely ignored.
Onward diverse soldiers, marching us to disaster…

 

Meanwhile, that maestro of disaster, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus decided to scrap the Navy’s 240 year old job titles and replace them with generic sounding terms. The decision has been met with outrage by sailors who have already had enough of Mabus and the New Navy.  As reported by the Washington Free Beacon:

 

The U.S. Navy’s decision to scrap its 240-year-old enlisted ranking system has roiled service members and prompted tens of thousands of dissenters to petition the White House to reverse the change.

 

The Navy announced last Thursday that it would do away with its 91 enlisted ratings titles, unveiling new rules under which sailors are no longer identified by their job title and are instead subject to job classification similar to the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force.  The decision ignited immediate backlash on social media and led over 47,000 critics to petition President Obama to restore the retired enlisted ranking system.  “For 241 Years Navy personnel have been identified by their Job specialty, known as a ‘Rating.’ The oldest rates such as Boatswain Mates, and Gunners Mate predate the founding of this country. Being known by your job title was a sense of pride. A sign of accomplishment,” said the petition, which faults Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Adm. John Richardson, chief of naval operations, for “senselessly” erasing the centuries-old tradition.

 

“In modernizing our enlisted rating system we are not only giving our sailors increased opportunities within the Navy, such as a higher level of flexibility in training and detailing, but also increasing their opportunities when they transition out of the service,” Mabus said Thursday. “In aligning the descriptions of the work our Sailors do with their counterparts in the civilian world, we more closely reflect the nation we protect while also making it easier for our Sailors to obtain the credentials they’ll need to be successful in the private sector.”

 

Mabus is going to go down as the most hated and most incompetent Secretary of the Navy in history. He is a walking, talking, politically correct train wreck.

 

While the military focuses on its main mission of feminizing itself to a point of absolute weakness and ineptitude, our enemies across the world are on the move. Tensions between the US and Russia have risen to a level not seen since the height of the Cold War.

 

This week, the Army Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley issued a warning to our enemies:  “I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States military – despite all of our challenges, despite our operational tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that,” said Milley.

 

GOD HELP US IF WE HAVE TO FIGHT A REAL WAR!!!

 

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, general. You can’t feminize yourself to the point of no return and spend all of your training time on sensitivity and then talk tough. No one believes your fake John Wayne swaggering; the Russians don’t, the Chinese don’t, the Iranians don’t, the North Koreans don’t, vets certainly don’t, for we know how you and your fellow senior leaders have sat by and watched as the military has been decimated by traitors and cowards and Marxists. Vets know more than anyone what the US military is capable of doing and what it isn’t and right now, the US military isn’t capable of taking the fight to Aunt Bee and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

And, last night, in a harbinger of an unimaginable horror to come, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Senator Tim Kaine, with eyebrows stolen from the Grinch and a look on his face from Freddy Krueger was firing point blank rounds at his foot all night; stating that terrorism is on a decline, the military has no problems and the Iran Deal will bring peace in our time.

 

For God’s sake, if Trump isn’t elected, we really are doomed, aren’t we?  Yes we are!!

 

REMEMBER ON 8 NOVEMBER!!!

That's a great rebuild Dave!

Way past a normal repair

Seems to be a lot of that around here!
I think if we were to ask my wife who's fault this is. She would blame you
As for the size 35/12.50(closer to 13.50) 17 inch wheel.
I am really impressed. I can't bark the tires on corners or in the wet road.   It holds great to the freeway and handles a hard downshift like a champ where the old BFGs would break loose on the freeway keeping you from moving in the direction of travel I want to go.

almost exactly 200 meters. We will follow with a smaller backstop at 25 meters, and 100 meters for now.

Actual ranged confirmed distance?
Actual meters or really yards but the usage of meter is stuck in your head?
Yep

Measured it on goggle earth. Depending on where I place the shooters bench (Compromise between a nice flat spot and where mama says, 200-215 meters.

Fair enough...

And BTW, I think I mentioned I gave this to prayer

If Father God wants me to change up, he will provide the buyer. If he doesn't, then I am supposed to keep the Chevy, and that is 100% OK with me!

The camera buggered up on me, so no mo' pics...sorry folks!

Anyway, the ball got pushed a long ways down the field today

The electrical wiring is complete and just awaiting inspection and hookup! Whew!

With that, I can keep the camper alive in the coming deep freeze (I hope).

As soon at this boot thing comes off, or I can actually walk again, then the skirt is going on to really help me keep old man winter at bay.

Then after many hours of digging, pushing trees, and contouring and dressing with the box blade, the thing was all shaped in.

We built it big enough for around fifteen shooters. We cut in a flat spot, slightly below grade back maybe 15 feet from the berm for the close in pistol drills. The dirt berm is all tracked in and stands six feet tall and is at least that thick.

From here, we will punch a bunch of holes with the post hole auger and place 4" PVC about 4" proud of the ground. THat way, one can slide a 2 X 4 into the pvc tube, then staple their target or a piece of plywood to it.

I'll hang some steel plates here and there so that we can practice engaging multiple targets.

Why Henderson Range you ask?

All this was Keith's idea, to build this combo-range. He is a Marine. Archibald Henderson was the very first Marine in the US in the 1700's. We honor the Marine Corps with this range.

In addition to the pistol portion, we are building a table/rest with a roof back at almost exactly 200 meters. We will follow with a smaller backstop at 25 meters, and 100 meters for now. Keith wants to expand it to many targets with painted letter labels so an instructor can tell a shooter to engage Bravo, then Kilo then Juliet, then Sierra, and so forth to get some real exercise going on!

Gonna be fun!

Keith put the first rounds into the berm mauling some dirt clods with JHP 230gr .45 auto from a Glock 30

Today Keith and I built "Henderson Range" a rifle and pistol range we put up on my property facing west

At the start of the day it was all Sarge as many more cedars met their demise

So combat max should hit the auction block. Set a min, and everything above and beyond goes to charity of your choice. Get what you need out of it, drive it up and do some good with your gospel kitchen in OH or something like that. I bet you get what you're looking for that way. It needs a real sendoff.
That's a good idea!

I'd donate to a local Men's ministry I am sowing into at the moment...

So, I'm a kind of an open guy.

Thinking out loud in the hopes of about making this all fair...

Most valuations I have consulted place the value of a stocker in the $35K ish range.

Then with the low mileage and great condition of all the parts, I'd place the value of the additional parts somewhere from 50%-75% of the cost. Considering I did most of the work, and in many cases the perspective owner would be contracting Schwab, tire discounters or someone to do the work, there is probably another 20K of labor that the normal guy would have to pay for.

SO I'd add in the $14,000-$21,000 to come up with the selling price.

I'd be OK in that range.

I prayed over this so if the money shows up, then I was supposed to sell it, if not, then I was supposed to keep it

I think I'll place my faith in practice here and let God decide what I should do!

Wow, take it to SEMA.
I priced the 2016's power wagons and think it would be a good time to purchase one of those.

This truck really screams "Militia...Survivalist...

So it's a bit too over the top.

I think a stock PW for a driver, then SquareD for the real deal, and or any significant pulling.

Plus, I want to add a 12 or 24 valve dually for dedicated pulling to the stable.

Chevy really doesn't fit as well...

Joshua 1

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Given all the evidence

All the exposed secretive plans

Everything in her communist leaning past

The outright lies

...Her husband

...The Clinton Foundation

The rapid advancement of LGBT and Islam, with her direct help.

With the abandonment of brave warriors, who she left to die, and then lied about

With all that and so much more.

I believe we will soon come under direct attack. Will Leftists simply be content to live their perverted, immoral and hate filled lives out in the open, will that be where it stops? Or will they seek to reach into our churches, our marriages, our families, and our personal lives to change all that too?

All that is left is evil. Come to grips with that. Homosexuality: evil, Islam: evil, Abortion: evil, Gun control: Runs against freedom, and indeed against scripture, Open perversion: evil, Lying: evil...and the list goes on as long as a progressive is talking! Seriously, the Democratic party is much worse that a pig wearing lipstick, it is evil. I don't like saying it, but from what this simple country boy sees, it is! You couldn't take any of it into the presence of the Lord and not be ashamed, convicted, or maybe even condemned?

The party is evil! I'm just there...too many facts. So I then have to consider what is the nature of evil? Where was it content to just let things be? Certainly not in the garden of Eden. Nope, that was an offensive operation by Satan. When the Devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness? Not there either. Really nowhere is evil content to stay put. Just as a single bluish spot of mold will in short order grow to cover the entirety of a loaf of bread, so will this scourge be emboldened, buttressed, and reinforced by a perverted executive branch and it's coming armies.

Brothers and sisters, be on notice. If Hillary wins they are coming after us in every way. It will be slow at first while they spread their cancer into every part of the government apparatus to complete the work that Obama has advanced. When the good people are displaced with the yes men. When enough executive orders have been issued to ensure control from the top. When enough propaganda has been spread, and when enough of the idiots living everywhere have been enraged, they will come.

Someone will be the first, or perhaps a group. I'd suspect opposition leaders or clergy who are standing on principal. That first attack on our lifestyles will be severe. You know life time sentences for saying something negative about Hillary or some BLM activist. Sentenced under new hate crime mandates, it will get done as a lesson to all to fall in line. If any of you have studied the "Ratchet principal" which comes from economics you know that once interest rates, say on credit cards, hits a new higher level, it is extremely difficult to impossible to retreat from that number. That new "Level" normalizes and we first grow accustomed, then oblivious to it. Sure, 45% interest rates are OK, see em' everywhere!

Gays have already gotten a perverted supreme court to strike down the Christian belief in marriage between a man and a woman as the only marriage allowed. It has all passed into the annals of history. So do you believe that we can now say that same sex marriage is no longer allowed? That somehow we could just go back to the way it used to be? No way under the present context and the United States and it's current system of ever-evolving laws.

We can only get back to "Normal" under a whole new paradigm. Such as if the New Independent republic of Kentucky, made our own law, outlawing same sex marriage. Now I ask you, how could we get from Kentucky being forced as a state of the union to enact this law and change many of the other things shoved down our throats?

The answer is, it could only happen after we secede from an evil United States and become our own country, that's how! But will the United States stand idly by? Will they say, oh well, guess we lost that one, so let's just go with it...Never in a million years! They will come with everything they have to destroy that which they see is "wrong" in Kentucky, and led the masses into rebellion. There will be war. Oddly enough, as a Soldier at war against an armed enemy, I could not target Mosques. I wonder if future gunners will hold the same respect for churches of Christian faiths?

But it will not be a state that turns away in mass. It might spread to something that big down the road a few hundred thousand casualties, dunno. It will most likely be individuals and perhaps communities. It will be churches, and militias and a hundred organizations which are forming and strengthening at this very moment to meet the evil when it challenges. I think a lot of good and bad people will get shot, and all over this country. I think there will be areas like Washington, Chicago, New York City, LA, and San Francisco which will maintain progressive and liberal control, but there will be far more cities and areas where you will simply avoid, because it will be contested land. I see a close parallel to our countryside with that of Afghanistan...enter at your own risk!

I think that after the honeymoon period of a Hillary administration, look for trouble to start, and to grow. If we don't get out there and overwhelmingly elect Trump. If we can't set aside the fact that he is loud, and obnoxious (sometimes), and that he has some personal problems. If we can't set that aside in our minds and see the higher cause, what is really at stake. If we can't do that gentlemen, then we will lose this nation as we know it forever, and I believe in my heart of hearts, we will be on course for everything I just laid out.

May God lift and protect this nation. May he crush the evil that grows in our government. May he awaken a sleeping society to the evil that gains strength here. May he equip his warriors for the coming task. But, above all, may his will be done!
