  1. www.tirerack.com has numerous 16" aluminum rims to choose from, between 90-120ea. 15" are even a little less.
  2. To njpilot: I'm curious why you hate the Rezound? I have a brand new one that I have had for almost a year, but never activated it. It was just as Verizon discontinued it, and I spent days demanding they move mountains to find me one somewhere in their inventory. Once I mentioned cancelling my account enough times, I got one. I thought it had very good reviews?
  3. Who said it has to be one or the other? It's not called anti-torque. The purpose is to prevent parts from "seizing" together over time, via corrosion at the interface of two metal surfaces. Torque has nothing to do with. Actually, that's sort of backwards. DRY threads are a good way to get INACCURATE torque readings. Proper torqueing is not really about the "twisting" force your measuring/feeling. Its really a question of proper STRETCH of the bolt material, which applies pre-load, and clamping force. Dry threads have increased friction, possiblyb leading to "galling" of the metal-to-metal surfaces. Micro- welds are even possible in extremem circumstances. These things all lead to incorrect torque readings, where it APPEARS a bolt is torqued properly, because the wrench is "seeing" the selected rotational resistance, but the bolt has not been properly stretched. This is also the whole premise/benefit to studs instead of bolts. The studs are only installed finger tight, and then the nut provideds a direct clamping load, instead of "twist". You'll find a much lower recommended torque setting, in applications where studs are substituted for bolts (heads). Any "critical" part that needs to be torqued, needs to be lubricated. Not that anti-seize is the best lube, but it also provides corrosion "welding" protection. I've had to beat wheels off of rotors and hubs, because the last guy didn't use anti-seize. Its like those commercials for the hot sauce, with the little old lady: "Anti-seize. I put that sh!t on everything!"
  4. +1,000,000 For this, as well as their automotive/emissions regulations. How can these clowns say/write/rule any of this with a straight face? Talk about circular logic..... They can be banned because they "are not in common use", except they aren't in common use because they were unconstitutionally banned previously. So, if someone designs/invents some new type of firearm, it illegal since it is not in common use, or is "dangerous and UNUSUAL", until what? Enough people own/possess illegally for it to become common or "usual"? What is so hard to understand about the 2nd amendment? It is actually VERY simple; despite thousands and thousands of pages of convoluted "interpretations" and "rulings". The second amendment is NOT there to ensure the ability to put holes in paper for recreational purposes, or even to harvest deer/ducks for dinner; although that certainly would have been a legitimate concern in 1776. Plain and simple. The 2nd amendment is intended to ensure that the people have, at all times, the ability to forcibly remove the government from power, if the people so determine it to be necessary. The very reason that the government wants to limit/restrict gun ownership, is EXACTLY why the 2A exists. It was INTENDED that the government ALWAYS be fearful of the wrath of the people, in order to "regulate" and moderate its actions. The things the government is doing, in the area of gun rights, the whole domestic spying thing,etc... is EXACTLY the types of things that firearms possession by the people is supposed to prevent. The founding fathers would have found it to be eminently reasonable, and morally right, for the people to have already risen up and staged a second revolution by now. There is no doubt in my mind; if Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, etc.... were here now, we'd have already had the 2nd revolution- years (maybe decades) ago. We are so far beyond the level of what the King did to the colonies, its not even funny.
  5. I'm no fan of Valley either, plus they are basically no bigger then a really long driveway.... As for Roxbury, I've known them nearly 20 years, and I got tired of their attitude. They act like they are doing customers a favor by doing business with them. Even employees who start out nice guys end up being "infected" with the Roxbury attitude. On top of that, their prices are usually way too high. I did just remember another good place though... C&H Salvage, in Campbell Hall, NY. They are expensive, but they have a good reputation for selling quality used motors.
  6. Yeah. I think they were close to $1,000 "list price", although we were allowed to negoitiate. I think the new name is Aerus, not aero.
  7. I have a possibly stupid question....... What if a.) it had a "real" pistol grip, b.) it was really, really short (actual "pistol" length), and c.) never, ever came with or had installed a buttstock? In other words, can you have an actual "pistol"/handgun that simply happens to fire shotgun shells? I know there is the Tuarus "judge" line that fires .410, but what about an actual shotgun "action" but in pistol size, or a semi auto handgun chambered in a shotgun shell?
  8. Well, if you're willing to spend the money, an Electrolux is one of the best you can buy.I think they might have changed the name to "Aero" or something. I tried selling them for a little while, years ago. I think I sold one or two my whole time. I was very impressed with how they worked, but most of the people they sent me to couldn't afford them. IF, I had plenty of money to spare, and I wanted the best vacuum I could buy, it would be them. The carpet shampooer was pretty good too, but also pricey.
  9. www.car-part.com This is the "outsider''s link to the Hollander parts interchange system the junkyards use. I used to have one or two I could recommend, but they eventually ended up screwing me over like most of the rest. The auto salvage industry is rife with unsavory, "gruff", and/or just plain douchebag type people. The only one that I would still endorse would be Newton Auto Salvage, in Newton, NJ The owner seems like a decent guy. However, its a very small yard, so whatever they sell you will likely come from somewhere else. Try craigslist. I've seen a bunch of Subaru parts/parts cars lately.
  10. Most won't. The problem is, it only takes one. Once that happens, NJ can declare that they exist, and the law kicks in. Really, Bloomberg's group could just buy a small struggling manufacturer, or start their own, for the sole purpose of making a commercially available "smart gun". They wouldn't need to care about profit, success, or even long term liability. The "company" wouldn't be intended to succeed or survive, only to be around long enough to "start" the clock on the smart gun law.
  11. Technically, couldn't a governor do a couple of things? A.) Direct the AG and head of the NJSP to not enforce it (ie, make it a "low priority"), once it becomes operative. (If they refuse to "obey", remind them that they both serve "at the pleasure of the governor". B.) Automatically grant pre-emptive pardons and expungements for anyone who gets charged/convicted, by an "uppity" prosecutor disobeying A.) C.) Grant said pardons for any retailer charged/convicted of selling firearms without a lic, provided that the license was revoked solely for violating this silly "smart gun" law and selling "dumb" guns after some deadline. Assuming that B.) and C.) were in effect, it would be pretty stupid for any prosecutor to even bother wasting resources on charges/trials/conviction that will be meaningless, and "erased" the instant the judges's gavel hits the bench, due to pardon/expungement. Now, of course this would require a governor with some balls, and I don't mean the kind served with spaghetti, so it is unlikely.
  12. Actually, you can do a "criminal history check" on yourself. http://www.njsp.org/about/serv_chrc.html I don't think this would include non-criminal mental health issues, and/or civil commitments though.For that, you would probably have to check with each county you have lived in, individually, to find out what the process is to obtain your records, if any.
  13. A Dremmel, various cutoff wheels and grinding bits, and LOTS of patience?
  14. Noooo Kitty-Kitty!!! Thaaaats my pancakes!
  15. Unfortunately it is a disease that is continuing to spread rapidly. Its like the political/legislative equivalent of MRSA. It has quickly become resistant to even the strongest of treatments: Justi-cillian Freedo-cillian Libert-a-can All no longer effective . Our last bastion of hope is the mighty Constitution-ox-a-cillian, but even that has only limited effectiveness.
