I'll save my pennies and dimes and wait for a set of stock aluminum Ford wheels. They sell for around $100 each on eBay.
I'll check the internet with the correct part number and see what shows up.

packaging add a few grams plus the soak pad under the meat I found is pretty heavy , don’t know total weight but the stores have been getting away with that for years , if you think about it , screwing the consumer in bulk adds up to a lot of extra $$for the store butcher department, I think they need to be more honest.

Lowest price on eBay is $29.95. Didn't check shipping costs, but that beats $92.12. He only has one, but I am sure there will be others isted in time. Some are a lot higher, so patience is the key.

No worries. I bought a second pistol because I am losing my hand strength and am finding it harder to pull the slide back, or reload, or even disassemble the semiautomatic. I bought a revolver because it is easier to load, and clean. They both weigh about the same, and they both are pretty much the same size so the revolver will fit into the fanny pack just as easily. Downside is that the revolver only holds 6 rounds compared to the semiauto's 9 rounds. I cannot carry the revolver concealed yet until I qualify with it, which won't be until April of next year. I will need to go to the range prior to that to familiarize myself with it. The CCW expires in May of next year, and they allow you to take the test/course up to 30 days in advance. I am praying that the revolver will be easier for me to handle, and I can requalify on the first try.

Interesting, won't let me reply to the F-150 video post. Anyway, what a jerk. I feel sorry for the couple whose car he hit.

Three more unconstitutional gun laws are making their way through the California assembly. Pretty blatant that they state they know they are unconstitutional but will pass them anyway and deal with the legal issues later.
