    it was all stock holes except for one. A 5/16 hole gets drilled once you get it all in place. You could probably get away with out that one, but it was easy. I really like them

    Here in TX they'd just leave a sign asking for beer to be put out next to the wiring.

    Sorry, I thought you meant in general. My bad

    I got intrigued and was looking. I'm just in city limits so I'm not allowed to shot them and I'm on a busier road that often has police so I'm not risking it.

    No HOA here and the cops are pretty cool for the most part. I still don't wanna make a sound when I snipe coons though.

    Just did my 3rd oil change on my truck with 38k. 2nd oil change, I installed the Fumoto. I removed that today and instead installed the Valvomax.

    Also switched to 5w30 and I must say, it does feel better and smoother. She feels brand new again.

    Sorry man, I don't. I did a little looking around and I couldn't find one either. I got mine off Amazon a while ago. Looks like Sig aren't making them anymore & are just making CO2 rifles.

    How would you compare the two?
    I like my Fumoto but it drains painfully slow.

    I can't really compare the 2 as far as draining goes. The Fumoto didn't seem too bad since I got the oil good n hot.
    The Valvomax feels very well built and I imagine it'll probably drain the same if its hot.

    I would probably do the same if it weren't for having the TRD engine skid plate. When it starts drain straight downward it lands on the skid plate n makes a huge mess.
    I'll probably be upgrading to the full skid plate kit from @Talon2006 when they go on sale.

    I don't do any wheeling except forest service trails. My skids are pulled and scrapped after the first oil change.

    30 years of Toyota trucks and no issue. I can't see myself ever missing the skids.

    You know, to be perfectly honest, I am considering possibly leaving the trans skid off and maybe remove the engine skid since my truck doesn't see any dirt trails at all. Whole reason I wanted the trans skid was for cat protection on a cross county road trip I took last year.
    I don't know if it's just me but the truck feels a bit more responsive after taking the trans skid/cat shields off. Yeah I did an oil change but I noticed a slight difference after removal n before the oil change. I wouldn't think the skids weigh that much to cause a change is responsiveness, or could it? :confused:
    I may take the engine skid off tomorrow and drive a while without em. Truck is always garaged at home so cat theft shouldn't be a huge deal.

    With that said, I may be selling my skids soon.

    It says .22 but then talks about using pellets so is it capable of doing both?

    It’s .22 caliber pellets.
    If you’re gonna get a breakbarrel action, here’s a bipod made specifically for them. I picked one up for my Sig. Works great. You’ll have to drill some holes in the gun’s forearm, so you have to be ok with that.

    6" lift and 35s on mine; not sure I'm doing it wrong?!?

    upload_2025-2-2_6-19-1.jpg

    I made sure mine was lower than 84" before purchasing. Picture taken during the shopping, of a truck I didn't buy, for reasons other than height.

    upload_2025-2-2_6-21-13.jpg

    It's the door opening, not opener, that is the restraining factor. If the opener is lower than the opening, you need to fire the installer.
