NJ: Health Insurance Requirement
With all the hardship(s) going on that was already starting last year you would think Murphy would rescind the penalty we Jerseyans have to pay for not having insurance in 2019. It's already been revoked at the Federal level. This is just another way for Murphy to suck $ from us. For those of us between jobs this is a big financial hurt. From what I've been told, forget trying to file a hardship exemption. Has anyone heard any talk of this mandate being rescinded due to Covid19?

Truck Differential/axle Repair Shops?

Truck Differential/axle Repair Shops?
Thanks guys. I've called around to few salvage yards and no dice yet. It's a haul but I'll give RP in Pennsauken a call Monday. Waiting on Metuchen Tranny on a quote as well. Truck runs great and just had a new exhaust system put on. Figures, right?

Truck Differential/axle Repair Shops?
Got a GMC Suburban. Pinion gear in the rear differential has two teeth cracked off. 238K miles on the truck and she runs great otherwise. Remanufactured rear axle/diff with drum brakes is around $1450 from what I'm seeing. I'm thinking..hoping more like it, there's a good shop around central NJ that rebuilds diffs. Anyone know of any? Thank you. OK, just talked to a friend who recommended Metuchen Transmission on Vineyard Rd in Edison. Any opinions on them? Thanks.

Dashcams again - Purchase options
Another vote for the A119. I've had mine over a year and only about 4 or 5 times have I had to reboot it, usually in the extreme heat or cold. Very good night time video, too.

KFC or Popeyes
Another vote for Popeyes. But, if I can get there I'll go to Big Harley's BBQ in Sayreville. Some of the best damn food in the area, even if you don't like BBQ. Dang, now I want some brisket!

Question for the motorcycle riders in the forum
Dean, what about a dual-sport like a KLR650? I would imagine NH has more places to go than NJ where you can get onto some nice fire roads, etc.. Great for commuting too due to its upright nature so you'll sit a little higher than normal. I've had plenty of other bikes.

Do not buy from Palmetto
I've been on hold waiting for Palmetto to pick up for 10mins now so I can check an order I put in 9 days ago. I'd like to get my stuff before that scumbag Murphy bans everything. I'm gonna stay on hold to see if anyone ever picks up. I've got it on speakerphone. ------ OK, 25 minutes for Tameka (sp?) to pick up and tell me they're heavily behind due to Christmas sales, which I can understand, but 25 minutes on hold for customer service is shameful. I expect current orders to be shipped a helluvalot quicker than 10 days. Wow.

Last knife sharpener you will ever need
I've tried all I could find as of last year but the one I kept and keep using is the Edge Pro. For quick touch ups on my beat-to-sh*t work knives I use paper wheels on a bench grinder. For everything else, like my EDC, the Edge Pro does what I need and pretty quick.

Hard Chrome Plating in NJ?
I'd give the guys at GSD in Keyport a call and see if they know anyone in case they don't do chrome. http://www.gsdcoatings.com

Recommendations for shops/ranges...
RTSP is opening a shop and range in Union on Rte 22 West next summer. That's their hope. As for shops, Matt and I think the guy's name is Jan, both at Heritage in Rahway, have always been cool with me. I try to be nice and respectful to everyone. I don't get it back then I go elsewhere unless no one else has what I'm looking for.

Three permits coming, help me decide what to get
For the 1911 I saw check out STI in Texas. Great stuff from good people.

Lake Island range in Carteret. 25 yards only but close to Amboys.

New range in Union?
Just was at RTSP little while ago and spoke with Ron who said the Union store and range will be ready by summer 2018, if all goes well. Sweet.

Eddie the Eagle
That's exactly who I thought of when I read the Subject. Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. He reminds me of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys.

Suggestions on single stacks
Check out the Ruger SR9 or their new American. Pretty much same grip as FN's so just as comfortable for me. I still think the SR9 is one of the most comfortable guns.

Suggestions on single stacks
Liked the way the Shield felt but the trigger guard is too small. I kept hitting the top of my finger on it whenever I'd go to fire. Not good. I was going single stack only until I just happened to handle an FNS9C. Wow. Beautiful, handles great, and a good trigger.

Attn: Fellow Pinheads...Better Ear Protection for My Lil' Noggin...?
Forgot I have these too. They work well, but I usually don't have much convo when at the range so don't worry about that. I never see anyone else with them at the range.

Attn: Fellow Pinheads...Better Ear Protection for My Lil' Noggin...?
Tried them and they didn't seal well in my ears. I couldn't believe it. I thought all the squishy compressible types would fit the same once they expand back but nope. I use 3m's E-A-R foam plugs now. They seem to fit my ear the best.

Attn: Fellow Pinheads...Better Ear Protection for My Lil' Noggin...?
You ear also changes with your body weight. I had custom in-ears done years ago and after I lost only 10lbs they wouldn't fit tightly anymore. They're great when they fit but I just use the squishy foam ones now. Don't have to worry about ear changes anymore.
