not sure of the brand of mine but I ordered it from Americantrucks.com, I bought it over the others because I wanted one side that didn't lock.

Let's just say, these aren't as "safe" as you think they are...IMG_0109.thumb.jpeg.74b54fbe30d09e056d9b95c5293a9233.jpeg

None of them are going to keep out a determined criminal. But most will keep smash and grab punks, crackheads, etc out long enough to be a deterrent

That was PRECISELY my line of thinking, before this happened in a busy Academy Sporting Goods parking lot in the span of about 90 seconds...using this screwdriver.

 

Don't get me wrong, when I got my 2020 Trail Boss I got another safe, but I definitely got one that has the lid gap covered with steel.

Which one did you get? I just ordered a console vault last week this makes me rethink it. I would like one that has the gap covered as well.

as you can see in the pictures on mine there is no gap, there is about 1/2" of steel that overlaps the side with the lock. I am certainly not saying someone couldn't get into it...but I dont see you doing it with a screwdriver and not in that quick of a time.

I’m taking my safe out. It came with it when I bought the truck. I prefer the storage space without having to get all my crap off the lid.

I certainly hope no one is robbed while their firearm is all cozy safe and secure. Probably should of just left it at home, at least that way the perp can't beat you to death with it.

Numerous studies have shown that if a perp is under 21' away you'll be going hands on anyway. Better to be in top physical condition and learn how to defend oneself verus relying strictly on a tool .

By that same rationale I suggest being in top shape to defend yourself with your tool. If you’re carrying and don’t train for it then what are you even doing? Setting yourself up for failure. Self defense doesn’t end with stuffing a gun in your waistband. Learn to be proficient with it.

I want a safe to keep my firearm in, because I don't carry mine everywhere. I don't think  most of my clients would appreciate me coming  in packing. I could conceal once my license comes in, but if it prints at all and I get called out I could lose a client. Of course, here in SW Louisiana everyone is armed, so it might not matter. However, I deal a lot with the diocese, other churches, and local government.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
