Did you add any heat shielding where you trimmed for the muffler? Looks like composite of some type.

Maybe turbo the bikes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and another one:

Are the light bulb sockets to be used as the feet of the thing???

Well you did say he was a Blackhawk pilot?

(just had to)

Link is empty, would like to see it too!

I do know they updated all our 22s some years back. Heck, I must have 10k plus through it easy, still shoots like new. Solids reset and just put Mepro sites on it.

I have a 24ft TH that is stocked quite well, cept for the fresh stuff.

Meat could be on the run as veggies and fruit I have built up well in cans right now.

It has 150gal water and I have about ten 30 gal and a 55 gal drum that can be filled fast, plus a pool if at home.

I am working on several coolers now with 1 month food in each. Easy to move and separate for stash reasons. Lots of cans, noodles and freeze dried. 

Thats just a few hours north of me, sure wish I had rode there!!

A few days old but I was gone. I was looking at that or a 338 but decided to stay with my Ruger 77 in 7mm Rem Mag. Looking at the ballistics is why I stayed.

Now if I was going to get new, the 300 is a great choice and ammo is actually all over.

Love the Glocks also. I have the 23 and just obtained my service 22, both are 40sw for those who don't know.

I have a 1911 Commander, Springfield XDS and a Mac10 all in 45ACP. Only issue with the 45 is price and accuracy suffers with heavy rounds. 220's JHP are great for stopping, but 185s are more accurate. That is the same as the 40sw, 185grain JHP.

We used to carry the SW 4006. I remember the thumbs up clearing, what a pain. It broke on the range (ejection pin) but mine still fired til broken down. It was also never very accurate.

As for 9mm I have seen what it doesn't do when the shot is not placed well (sure you guys have seen more). Nice little hole but it just doesn't have meat of a 180-200 grain bullet.

I also have several 30 round drop free mags for them (don't get KCI) nice is all the glocks of the same caliber can use the same mags and some even have a sleeve for normal carry.

I also have one of these, just 3.5 lbs and uses a 22 magazine; http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/sub-2000/rifle/

Now this is a go case!!

It is changing all time and the AMA (not the stupid one) is on our side with working with the FCC and the FAA with regulations.

Mostly it comes down to personal use is not really a problem for not for profit use.

Here is a site that keeps up up to date along with many RC sites that talk about.

So the after market shock looses the remote reservoir and does a better job? I see the better spring which may account for some of that. My reworked shock keeps the remote.

I thought you were going to do the airbox when you had it!!!

It really needs tires now, it just doesn't look right now. Super heavy duty tubes and Slim,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ok, so we have a little SHTF or just a friendly EMP or even just that prolonged blackout after whatever.

So how do you keep your food fresh, batteries charged or even listen to the radio. Now depending on if you prep at all, this may not concern you, sure the Gov will fix it, right?
How is that working for you now?

Anyway power will be like gold when there is none, so plan to have some. You need to generate something, being you have your kid peddle a generator, have a real generator or maybe a small solar setup. 

I have 2 generators, 1 in a trailer with lots of gas and a couple deep cycle batteries, but gas does not last forever. I also have a 5k backup sitting in the shed that has served me well a couple times. But then again we are talking at the most maybe 2 weeks of fuel if run say 1-2 hrs a day. Now if you have diesel, that time may double and you can burn alot more than just diesel most of the time.

Some of you may have solar on the house, great. If all you do is use it and sell back, you are selling your self short. You need to have storage for that juice you make in the form of batteries and for the price it is hard to beat a good ol golf cart 6v battery. 4 of these would probably get you through a night easy. Sure you can get sealed batteries with no maintenance but they are pricey and don't really last longer.

I have played with solar some (hey it is cool) and am now looking at a 1-2kwh unit right now. That is as simple as 4-8 panels on a shed out back which will run my pool and some AC in the summer. Charge a few batteries and then you can use that converter at night for lights, radio and the fridge.

If something does happen there will be batteries everywhere as cars don't get used when gas goes away, so don't threat over how much storage you have, just know you can have it.

Remember too that if you have lights on when no one else does for any period of time, you may become a target. If you have light, you may have food, ammo or whatever.

What do you have, thoughts?

I think most of us are in the same frame of mind here. If a gun is out, play time is over.

CS in 12g, never "used" them but they "may come in handy (wink)

Nice thing with #6 or 7 is if they are close enough it will do the job just fine.

If you have fewer slugs or reaching out ammo, just slightly cut around just above the lower metal case. It will separate when fired and carry the whole mess out farther before it opens up, viola, you have a 00 power in a #6 round.

I lost a nice D ring off my hitch about a month ago. Pin was in, but I missed the hole (quiet). It was a nice forged unit with a 1 inch D ring too.

As to slightly down, think about under load. When you are pulling the torque applied will lift the front a little.

My trailer has a GVW of 11k and I only had a 10k ball setup, since then upgraded to 15k. I get a little sway and am looking at a load leveler hitch.

We gotta get those little smiley face guys werkin here!

Noticed that to on a couple posts. Both the links above and shortcuts for HTML don't work.

Guys, just had to share this;

https://www.armsunlimited.com/SureFire-High-Capacity-60-Round-AR15-Magazine-p/mag5-60.htm

Price is to good to pass if you have been thinking of these Surefire Mags. I have used this company several times and service is great.

I am just getting started but jumped in all the way.

Got the Hornady progresive and die for 7mm, 300AAC, 556, 40sw, 308 and 45acp. Can't see reloading 9mm.

I need powder though and only want 8lb or better. Been trying to find some wc846 and get a whole case.

Second trick is well, classified at this time... sorry...!

Probably something like a way to dump a lot more and light her off, that would slow em down some  :D

We talking a 6.5 GMC diesel swap?

Nooooo, 6BT like yours.

Here is something else I found today. A 15 gram camera that fits on anything for $40. It can take stills or video and records to a Micro SD.

So you get that cheapo rc plane, boat, car or Quad and strap this puppy and go.

Guys, I have 2 of these and looking at another. 2 cell for the truck, one on the bench.

They charge ANY battery and maintain it after its charged (cept 9v). Works with 12vDC and 110ac

This is the high end and the other has LEDs vs all the info you see.
 
Ad a nice foldout Solar panel and you good for off grid too.

Theres one a few miles away, been for sale for some time.

FYI in the wonderful state of Kalifornia just possessing the parts to make any weapon full auto is the same as having a full auto weapon.

Uh, have you changed the oil yet????????????? (OK we need smiley links!!!)

Looks very similar to my 90s Craftsman 60 with the alum compressor. I over drove it for years with no issues. Even now it runs fine but is noisy as all HELL even mounted outside in an enclosure on with anti vibration mounts.

I have the etching primer for the top and will probably use Ace Anti rust on that. I am leaning towards all black or grey but have seen a nice white anti heat house roof coating done on another forum. I also have a gallon of OD that I had for the Samurai, but would black out the hood either way.

Drivetrain as sits is a good ol TBI 5.7, 700r4 and a 241 I think. Front is a 10 bolt but I have a dana 60 8 lug sitting on the side of the house. For the 10 bolt on it now I have a 14 semi with 3.73 to match the front. It has the 14mm studs which I will add to the front if left this way. If I can then get it registered as a 3/4 ton, I can do the diesel swap as there are CARB issues here in Kali with years and GVW swaps.
