    Thank you everyone. Really appreciate it. We got about 70% moved in today. Finally took a shower and about to hit the hay. Having a 4 car garage is kinda weird coming from the tiny turd 1 car I was in before. The 701 looks so lonely until I can move the rest over!

    This thing is a LOT smoother than I expected it to be. I mean, c’mon...it’s LaRue, so I expected it to be perfect. But for $90 I didn’t expect it to blow me away. Honestly with most “enhanced” mil-spec triggers being around the $70 range, it doesn’t make sense to not buy the LaRue for $20 more.

    custom machined 15mm thru axle for the trekking cart. Aircraft grade fit. I'm just amazed at the exact fit. Worth the $190 CDN after taxes.

    got a Bro Deal on two Olight lights...a 2000 lumen headlamp, and a Olight Stryker flashlight. Could NOT pass the deal up. Love my coffee can monthly expense account. The MX1 Stryker was missing a pocket clip......LOL........i got it for $60 less than the retail price....paid $70 CDN, and shamelessly stole the olight pocket clip off the headlamp

    I'd be guaranteed to accidentally blind someone with a 2k lumen headlamp.

    It's a spendy li'l bugger!!!! But, I got a decent deal on a (barely) used one.
    https://www.bladehq.com/item--Rexford-Knives-RUT-V3-Titanium--86189

    Probably the fanciest box cutter I've ever seen (or bought for that matter), but I've always been intriqgued by the RUT due to its simplicity. The "push button" lock-bar is a pretty minimalist but elegant and effective design.

    Holding it in-hand makes you appreciate how lightweight and awesome it really is. Prybar/flathead and boxcutter are the primary tools I'll be using. The bottle opener is a good excuse to "whip it out", I guess. :D

    3/16" thick X 26" wide X 40" long aluminum plate , 2 X 40" long x 1"x1"
    Aluminum angle, 2 X 24" long x 1" x 1" aluminum angle

    For the main deck of the trekking cart.:cool:

    edit: although now that i've held the metal in my hand....i'm thinking 3/16" is waaaaaaay overkill....should have gone with 1/8". No biggie, can use this for my upcoming Tracker flatdeck roofrack build

    Lol, you might've, but it's all dependent on funds I may or may not have in the near future.
