they're actually dual purpose. they're connected to the rear brakes by cables for a reason. should you suffer a brake failure, you've still got something to slow and/or stop you. as braking systems have gotten more reliable, and less prone to failure, and manufacturers are in need of more gimmicks to sell their cars, many higher end vehicles are being switched to electric parking brakes. i honestly don't know if these can or will function as an emergency brake. i sure hope so. it'd suck to run that gorgeous audi into the ass end of a truck 'cause ya didn't have an emergency brake.

the proportioning valve adjusts the amount of pressure to the front or rear. the master has a single shaft with 2 pistons on it, separating the front/rear braking. if you notice on your proportioning valve, you've got at least 2 lines going in, then the outlets.

if i'm not mistaken there's some gm models out there with diagonal brake systems, whereas if you lose pressure from a blown line to one half of the master...you'll have a front and a rear brake still functioning.

virtually EVERY truck or suv i've done this on have rotted through above the fuel tank. i simply run an entire new line through there, i've been using nickel/copper forever. i friggin hate trying to make a double flare on steel. i've yet to have a problem with a line i've made.

it's not the salt. this didn't happen this much back in the 80's and 90's when we were having plenty of snow. it's the brine. that stuff's much much more corrosive than salt. i do a LOT of these. if i had to guess, yours blew through at the rear junction?

you can always run to pa where there's no stupidity going on concerning gun laws......oh wait.........

i know based on your line of work i shouldn't say this.....but anyone even remotley handy with basic tools can render a permanently modified mag into non-permanent modified. it would take some doing to not ruin them...but it can be done. only engineers believe in permanent anything, lolol

that is an excellent question, that i hadn't thought to ask him. i'll give him a shout tomorrow to find out sir

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said.

good idea emailing him! i took those dates off of a file he sent to me in email. i think it could/would be helpful to all of us here, if he knew that we were contacting him from njgf. ya lucky bastage!! closest i had to that, was a friend letting me fly his super decathalon from the back seat. he let me do a roll, and a loop....but i'm fairly certain he had "hands on" too. that was a fast, and nimble airplane.

gonna kinda hijack my own thread here. i spoke with kharis again as i was closing up the shop today. i've got dates for a few classes which i'm going to post just below. as mentioned in the op, tactical rifle 2 and 3 got pushed back, due to lack of response. he had no idea it was never posted here(was supposed to have been posted by someone else). there are no dates set in stone yet, but def. in july. medicyeti.....i put forth the july13 date for ya. SATURDAY 5/24/2014=Tactical shotgun. max students 6. 11:30am to 4:30pm $160/student. SATURDAY 5/31/2014=Tactical Handgun. max students 6. 11:30am to 4:30pm. $160/student SATURDAY 6/21/2014= Tactical Handgun2. max 6 students. pre-requisite=tactical handgun1 SUNDAY 6/22/2014=NRA personal protection in the home. class size=10 students. 11:30am to 5:30pm $200/student SATURDAY 6/28/2014=Tactical rifle. max 6 students. 11:30am to 3:30pm. THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED TO TAKE BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE TACTICAL RIFLE2. also, during my conversation with kharis, he did tell me that if you guys had ANY ideas of classes, he can do most anything we went(as long as it's legal of course, lololol) i know i've said it before.....but i consider this guy to be good. he's VERY attentive to all of his students. he's friendly, and gets his ideas across very nicely. i'd liken his teaching style to my favorite flight instructor. i've had 2 or 3 of those. all good. but the one that i still fly with when i do, teaches as if he were teaching his son, not as if it's a paid job. that's how i feel kharis teaches. he teaches as if he were teaching his own son or daughter, not "just a student". THAT in my mind is a quality that's worth its weight in gold.

i'm bein' a pushy bastard, and tryin' to get dates........

i think he might be running that one again too. i just emailed him, and will let ya know.......

good catch sir!! the classes are held at Shooters in little egg harbor. i don't have dates yet, 'cause kharis didn't give me any yet, so i'm just getting this out there. hoping that if we fill it fast, maybe he'll schedule one end of this month, or beginning of next month.

i'll be heading down when the new wears off. i can't friggin stand crowds........

tactical rifle 2.... http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/68988-tactical-rifle-2/

1) 1LTCAP 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) i'll come back here to add names as you guys let me know, so i can contact kharis and get a date set up. PLEASE....if i make any mistakes in doing this, please bear with me, as this is my first time trying to coordinate something like this on a bbs.

ok guys, i've been in touch with Kharis Sepulveda. i talked with him a bit about the second rifle course, and a couple other courses too. he'd actually re-scheduled the tactical rifle 2 to either june or july, due to lack of anyone signing up for it. i gathered that he thought it was posted here as the rifle 1 course was, as he sounded very surprised when i told him it wasn't posted up here. he'd sent me information on tactical rifle 1, 2, and 3, along with tactical shotgun, tactical, and defensive pistol, and a couple others. for right now, i'm putting up only the tactical 2. so far, he hasn't given me any "set in stone" date, although i did kinda urge(read that begged, lololol) him to try to do it on a sunday, as we seemed to have better attendance on a sunday over a saturday course i'd taken. he limits the class size to 8 students, so i would please ask anyone interested to respond here ASAP, so i can relay information to him. my time is limited, due to my business, but the fact that i run my own, also lets me check here when i shouldn't be. maybe if we can get a class or 2 full fast, we can get him to do #2 in early june. ::::::::::::::there is a pre-requisite for this course, which is that you must have had tactical rifle !:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TACTICAL RIFLE 2 Course Description This advanced rifle course is designed for those individuals that want to utilize a centerfire rifle for home defense.

i woke up nursing a whole heads worth of a headache on just the left side of my head. took me till about 2'ish to be really "with it". so i did chores instead. dammit!.......

that's my plan. once i've read kharis's mail, i'm gonna post any/all classes he's got right here.....well...actually, i'll probably make a new thread.

i spoke with kharis on the phone last night. i'll have information on this same class being run again, plus the rifle 2 and 3 classes. he said he's going to send me informatgion on tactical pistol also.

if i may add......i know there are many business owners on this forum. you may also carry at your fixed place of business.

lololol! no unicorn. just a bad ass mustang gt. or my ford expedition.

i can't make saturday, as i'll be at work....but i sure as hell am gonna try to be there sunday. i'll probably be the only one there that's going bald, and has a ponytail both at the same time, lololol. where do i find specifics of this again?

a couple years ago? try that surprise storm this past year. between elmer, and deptford, i saw no less than 8 wrecks, and there was no help to get to them. imagine being stuck on a 10F degree day, your car won't run, and you've got nothing but the clothes on your back. no thanks....i keep plenty in my vehicles.....eSPECIALLY when it's cold
