What are you building? / Re: Drawer system for overlanding
« on: February 17, 2024, 01:27:51 PM »
Looking good boss, I think (at some point & as if I need more on my plate) I’d like to design a system for my f250 so it levels the bed to the same height as the front 40 gal auxiliary tank and give me some storage along with keeping access in the summer when cap is off and doing gooseneck duty. So without the cap it’ll need to be water resistant too. This would allow me in winter months to still haul long objects like a skid of axles in the back area.

Try this guy, he doesn’t have much of a personality but he knows his stuff and his product is top notch. I have quite a bit of his stuff for a few different guns, he makes stuff for low production guns even I’ve found.

I ordered a holster for my bfr in 45-70. Come to think of it maybe that’s what you should buy? They make a shorty version in a 4” barrel even! Anyhow he knew enough to have me check actual barrel length as he put it “those guys can’t read a tape measure” and he was right they can’t….

Adventure / Re: Bear Country
« on: February 05, 2024, 09:10:39 PM »
Well Chief, if you are really itching for a bear encounter they haul the Montana problem grizzlies up to the back side of a lake in the mountains about ten miles from my place as a crow flies. Called spar lake and plenty of beautiful campsites you can share with them. We’ve gone kayaking up there a couple times, doesn’t get any better than that…..

Hard cast bullets (recommend buffalo bore ammo)

Chest rig, f that cowboy chit. The reality is if you get attacked it’s most likely because you surprised it. Think last minute, it gets on top of you and you can’t pull pistol from your belt holster then you’re screwed. A bunch of extra ammo isn’t gunna help. Get the wife a Glock in 10mm and upgrade the recoil spring to a 22# maybe she can get off more than a round or two like that wheel gun. My 2 cents, bear spray and talk loud while hiking. A lot of people carry small music makers, especially those who run the trails. Most of the guides are running 10mm glocks for a reason too.

Run some in that fancy siaga and lets us know how it goes….. :popcorn:
That one has a particular gas system. I would venture a guess that those shells would not run in that gun.

Tom Cole who built it gave me a list of the ammo that would run, that he test-fired in my gun.

It's a short list.

I understand, I have two highly modified guns myself and they’re whet you might calling picky……

Firearms / Re: Pump or automatic?
« on: January 28, 2024, 03:38:45 PM »
Speaking of siaga, I have a couple of those and not sure they would be my go to for a shotgun for self defense. Although, a drum mag full of slugs and an old stump sure is a lot of fun.

Firearms / Re: Pump or automatic?
« on: January 28, 2024, 12:48:45 PM »
I just find the pump guns easier to manipulate (swapping or inserting loads during training) and I’m familiar enough with the 870 version to run them blind folded from years of hunting with them. A couple cheap upgrades and you can extend the round capacity and hold additional loads such as slugs on the side of them opposite the ejection port.

I’d disagree Chief, you can’t come here by first committing a crime. I’ve know and have known too many that came here the correct way and jumped thru all the hurdles. It’s not fair to them. No matter how good the others are it’s not right.

Possibly, as it is now 25 states are siding with Texas. Ten of those states and more are going to be forthcoming are sending NG units it has been stated. Trump stated on his x feed today that ten or more state militias were en route in some capacity.

Purchased this shortly after all the Colorado shop moving trips finished in Oct of last year. Finally, today I removed a lot of tools I carried on those trips. Installed this under the seat gun box. Plan is an 870 & AR15 in there.

The executive branch is guilty of treason in regards to this border. Musk owns X, roll the cameras. Stand their ground and don’t shoot unless fired upon. Let us not forget Cliven Bundy in NV a few years back.

My  granddaughter just drove to South Carolina from Indiana with a car trailer in tow. Roads were bad but she made it. Her husband tied with a frozen sheet of snow and ice from the top of a big rig, and needed a trailer to get the car back home.

Faith Discussion / Re: Prayer Request thread
« on: January 23, 2024, 10:32:18 PM »
Ok, I have a very good friend from Colorado. His initials are JW, he’s been a marketing account vp for a lot of years. About a year and a half ago he was bought out from his role in a merger. Shortly there after his wife had breast cancer. He had her quit her job in the mortgage industry to concentrate on getting better. In addition he did not look for work, instead he took care of her and helped his son move cross country during all of that. He’s been shouldering alot recently.

Fast forward to this last summer and she is better after a double m and a couple follow up surgeries. At one time he was a Deacon in his Church, he’s kinda lost his way a bit spiritually. Him and I talk several times a week. He really needs to land a role and get back to work. In addition he needs to get back on the straight and narrow. We talk about faith a lot, he’s been beat up a bit and knows what he needs to do.

Anyhow, if you guys could add him to your prayers. Lift him up I’d appreciate it.

No to heims spend some money with summit machine w d get good rebuildable joints. Parallel 4 link? I as you should research that as I’m more familiar with triangulated. More vertical separation the better between the links. Half the length of oem leaf spring sounds short. Rest sounds reasonable, maybe 40/60 on up / down travel.

Yes, if he’s this deep the logical next better step is an sas


Charles, find an online 4 link calculator. Wide Open Design or Branik for the links, mock it up with pvc pipe. You can figure it out, I’ve seen your handiwork.

Their already boxed back to the bed, doing just the rear should be easy. 4 link rear, gonna wheel it?
Negative sir, only boxed to the firewall and a little where each of the crossmembers are for the bed.  Zoom in on the picture.

Nope, no wheeling.  Just upgrading old technology as I don’t ever want to get rid of my non emissions truck.

I bought a Yeswelder pro55 that is supposed to be non HF start, should work with my Arcdroid, about to test.

Dang brand names are so crazy now!

I think that’s the one I got for my table also.
It cut 1/4” like butter.
Time will tell if it was 200 wasted bucks or good enough for me.

Shawn, this looks a lot like the ND’s garage unit I’m building.
It’s actually how I was thinking of modding it to have both ends of the x axis supported.
They clearly copied it to some degree…well there’s really only so many options to build it also.

ND’s? Got a link I’m not familiar?

My number one rule about life I preach to my kids (beyond normal things like follow gods word) is “everyone is a moron until they prove otherwise” so the people who continue to vote for that guy after 40+ years in government even if not morons in most aspects of life are choosing a moronic path by voting for him.
