Any other gun guys seen this? I'm thinking the RFID/Biometric one is perfect for my needs:

I'm thinking the biometric one with the optional RFID stickers would be sweet. I could probably put a sticker between my phone and phone case and open it that way. My wife has been on me to get a gun safe for the room before the kiddo becomes mobile. Storing my hand gun in the big safe is not an option. With this I could also put a few 00 shot shells in the safe and leave the 12 gauge beside the bed too.

I kind of want this truck now! 2014 4x4 Laramie with 3.0L diesel, 3.92s, and air suspension. If I wouldn't loose my ass on the Power Wagon, I'd think a little harder about trading both vehicles on this truck! Sticker price of $54k with 28 MPG highway!

no.

yeah, its nice........but no.

I have tried to rationalize getting a new truck lately. I don't typically keep a vehicle that long........hell, most I've gotten rid of in 2-3 years. This one is almost 4 now. I'm still under 22K too. But, I can't see it with the new ones. I get a new front bumper, I look like the new ones. The air ride.......spiffy, but not for me. The new interior, thats tits - but.......not to double my payment! lol

your truck is too nice to trade on that too.

Seriously.

Thats a step down........sure, its a diesel, thats nice. but........eh. do you really need 28mpg? take a while to offset that cost!

Damn you! Always coming in to rationalize the situation. LOL.

I don't think I could ever give up having two vehicles. I have a company car but it's still nice to have something that's "yours" that you can do whatever with/to. I just get bored with the truck sometimes because there's not much else that I can do to it that's not absolutely crazy. But what kills me sometimes is that I don't need a truck like this. A 4x4 1500 would do everything that I need and more. This truck is fun for playing around, but I don't have time for that shit anymore. Hell, I don't even ride my ATV anymore. It hasn't been started in at least 8 months.

I just see the amount of money I pay out each month and ask myself why do I have $100k worth of vehicles in the driveway? Cutting back to a single truck with better fuel mileage would save a bunch of money, including car insurance, maintenance, etc. I have to admit, I sometimes regret buying the Power Wagon. I've still got a long time before I pay it off too. If I had a more daily drivable 1500, we could ditch the Jeep and put more money into the house fund. I think the house crap is what's got my mind churning. Nothing is going to change anytime soon though...

you are in a better situation that most bud. Having a company car would be awesome - but I'd still want my own........even if it means that I have 2 vehicles, and the company one....

I dont' need a truck. Hell, my minivan would probably do me better for what I do......but........GAY! so no. Doesn't mean I'll get rid of the truck.......and you shouldn't either. LOL

Trust me, I get the house fund thing man! I have been "better" this year with my spending.....though I still dropped a nice chunk on the truck throughout the year (well......eh). I was thinking about headers the other day and then thought......well, I can get a full bedroom set for that $$. Fuckin' rationalization is a bitch. lol
