would you stay away from a 'used' new model Tundra?

Debating a lightly used truck and have been eyeing F150's but...
Seeing a lot of gently used '22 Tundras with low mileage. I know there have been reports of pretty widespread wastegate issues, is the number of well priced, low mileage, new model Tundras a sign to stay away?
I assume these are...

low head dams are basically drowning machines. They do a great job but are near impossible to get out of, including boats. This happens all the time and although they look innocent they will kill you....
re: Ordered a Palmetto State kit

I used a PSA lower parts kit in an Aero/BCM build recently and everything went together pretty easily. This was the EPT and I did have some initial issues with the trigger resetting.
Examined the trigger group and where the hammer and disconnector interface, both of the edges were pretty sharp...

Thanks, complete uppers are not serialized correct? Seems like it would take the ATF a lot of work to determine those that had purchased pistol length uppers. All of this for something that in home defense situations is causing no harm....

If this goes into affect and assuming I built a braced pistol from a stripped lower, can I just purchase a 16" upper and a stock and no longer be in violation of NFA?
Was looking at multiple uppers anyway....

MVDP is on a tear. If I average ~180 watts for a four hour ride I think I crushed it, and my max wattage is only like 900-1000 watts. Unfortunately I fear he's the new Sagan in that he will be constantly marked in every race and no one will be willing to work with him.

re: Quartz vs Granite Counter Tops
Posted by Chilton4Bama on 3/12/19 at 9:34 pm
for the folks knocking quartz saying it looks like crap and will go out of style, quartz has come a long way in the past 10-15 years. You can now get quartz that looks exactly like marble and granite. Plus it isn't porous, doesn't stain, and is harder so less likely to chip. This is also why quar...
re: Price of trucks

Tacoma prices have gotten out of hand, in 2011 I bought an '08 Tacoma TRD Prerunner with 34k on it for $20K, I drove that truck for 4 years and sold it for $18K.
I haven't had a truck the past few years and want one again, a similar Tacoma this time around looks like it would cost me 30+ used....
Paying for a vacation rental though PayPal

I found a villa in St. John I am thinking about renting in late July. The owner typically takes payment through check or PayPal only, to avoid fees and taxes I assume. Is this safe to pay through PayPal? I don't want to get down there and not have a place to stay......

re: Whitewater rafting. The Ocoee or Chatooga?
Posted by Chilton4Bama on 6/6/17 at 8:23 pm
Ocoee will be more convenient and consistent while the Chatooga, (section IV) will be more remote and difficult. The five falls rapids on section IV are no joke and have killed many folks.
Middle Ocoee will be more action packed w/ more rapids while Section IV could kill your arse. Really nothin...
