    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    When I was 20 I backed my lifted Blazer down a boat ramp to load up a large Cobalt. I put the e-brake on to keep from going for a swim and forgot to take it off on the drive down from Lake Tahoe to Carson City. My brakes smoked something fierce before I figured out what happened. Nobody died...

    Are SxS taking over?

    100% on all points. Yet I have no real interest in ever getting one. I actually enjoy NOT going fast, taking my time getting through the mountains, and having pretty much everything I could possibly want with me when I get to where I’m going. ;) Plus, I got a lot of the speed thing out of my...

    Are SxS taking over?

    I’ve pulled up to a few restaurants in Eagle and seen damn nice SXS in the parking lot. Not going to lie, it looked pretty fun.

    Are SxS taking over?

    Yep. I can’t believe how few jeeps I see. SXS are everywhere, and in Idaho they can be plated and driven on the road (although I don’t see too much of that in Boise). While they are fun to drive, I love my Jeep and it’s still a far better camping vehicle for me.

    Battery recommendations? On my JKURs I used to get Odyssey or Platinum batteries. This two battery thing is a bit new to me. Is it better to get two of the same brand or does it really matter?

    Ha! I guess you and I live very different lives and put ourselves in very different situations on a day to day basis.

    Then why carry concealed? I mean let’s get real, there is no way you are drawing as fast from underneath whatever you are wearing than you would from an OWB holster. Hell, why not just keep it in your hand, in a hoodie pocket, ready to go at all times? Milliseconds matter, right? It’s all a...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    First, LE is pretty much putting themselves in harms way, in close proximity to potential bad guys, with most every human interaction. I’d never compare myself to that because it’s just not realistic. The most realistic situation for me is some whack job in a convenience store or maybe a...

    SIG may very well have and if I had a compact P320 that I carried, I’d be doing some more in-depth thinking. I’m just glad whatever it is apparently is not an issue with the 365 since I’d honestly have a hard time finding a replacement. I’d probably just go back to carrying my 229 .40 (which is...

    Carrying one in the pipe…Safety 4th. ;) ;) ;) It is provably impossible for a firearm to accidentally discharge a round that isn’t even chambered. Just saying.

    There is a big difference between “safer” and “unsafe”. Regardless, like I said, I have no issue getting rid of my P320…I just need to see enough hard evidence that the design is inherently unsafe. I am still curious why the Flux is so popular though when it is the exact same system. As for...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    I’m sure there are plenty of people messing around with the springs, bar, trigger, etc. Funny (not really), but the only accidental discharge by a person I personally know is a guy who thought it was smart to run that light weight on his 7mm hunting rifle. He forgot to put the safety on and...

    No, it shouldn’t. Hardly means some don’t though. I’ve seen plenty of Kydex use the trigger well as the retention point such that trigger contact is possible if the fit of the firearm isn’t great.

    I love my P365 and it’s my carry gun. The P320 stays in a safe for range days and plinking suppressed. But I’m with you, I’m interested to see some repeatable proof of the problem and I definitely treat my P320 differently.

    So wait, he is shoving a screw into the trigger assembly so it is partially depressed? All I know is my P320 has never gone off on its own. When I do holster it (which actually isn’t often all), the kydex holster I use doesn’t touch the trigger in any way (retention is from the light, not the...

    I figured. Honestly, I feel like that had a good run. Hell, my stock tires made it to 60K. If I delete the aux battery, should I do the speedo and mpg gauge delete at the same time so I can safely descend hills? Screw it, I’ll follow the Jeep engineers’ lead and replace both batteries. They...

    Jabberjaw is about to hit 64K miles on the original batteries. Recently I’ve been getting an “Auxiliary switches temporarily unavailable battery charging” when I start her up. The switches are typically available after 2-3 minutes of run time and my voltage at the gauge pretty consistently stays...

    Ya, linking to another forum is more douchey than watching a speedo when off roading downhill. ;)
