[quote]So, it's very tough for me to hold out for guns that aren't readily available. I research, but when I've made my decision to buy, I want it now. I have a suppressor in lockup waiting for a stamp and it kills me. I stopped by the range next to my house and they have a Staccato P and a Sprin...

Without having the ability to delete the engine I don’t think I would ever get one. I had considered the Ram Eco-diesel until it got to where you couldn’t d...

The 3 people I know that have them are all trying to dump them. One was successful, the other 2 people have pending lawsuits against GM. And that is with the “updated” engine. One has to go in every 1k miles for an oil consumption test. He took his truck on vacation and went over the “1k mile in...

I’d imagine you can find deals on any truck right now, trouble may be the interest rate. If you decide to go with the AT4 I would just stay away from baby Duramax if that was an option. ...

re: Truth bbq doesn't sell BBQ

Posted by ruger35 on 5/11/24 at 7:03 pm
Let me guess, you left a bad review as well? I haven’t been to Truth in a couple years but I thought everything was pretty good. Recently went to J-Bar-M and that was average at best. Maybe you should try there, I can guarantee they will have food at 2 pm on a Saturday. ...

[quote]hill country Texas, probably something closer to 500-1000. Again, this is just for fun.[/quote] Assuming around Dripping Springs? Anywhere in that area you should hop on Marketplace and see what someone is getting rid of. A 24” cook chamber will make a world of difference over a 20”. ...

re: Best BBQ in Houston?

Posted by ruger35 on 4/17/24 at 3:35 pm
Been about 6 years since I’ve been to Roegel’s but I remember enjoying it back in 2018. Tried J-Bar-M today while passing through for something new besides Truth, thought it was ok. Ribs tasted pretty good but were a little tight. Sides reminded me of Terry Black’s, kind of an afterthought. ...

Hadn't had Smalls in probably a year. Stopped at the original the other day on the way to work and I didn't even make it through one slider. Everything went in the trash. Used to enjoy going when they opened as it was nothing special but it was consistently good....

You are correct in he does take walk-ins. Quantities are based on pre-orders, but he always plans for additional walk-ins. ...

I never went to Unleaded based on pictures. Don’t think you’ll ever see Gonzo’s move to BR. He has a loyal following, people willing to make the drive. He also has great relationships with people In multiple industries there, chemical plants, the Saints. No reason to move really. ...
