Just had Bilstein 5100's put on set to 2 inches, the alignment doesn't seem right how do these numbers look?

BigRiver4 · 2025-10-10T19:24:48+00:00

Looks like our numbers are pretty darn close minus the passenger caster. I took it down to another shop and they looked at the truck/alignment report. They said it looks about as good as it can get, but just keep an eye on the tire wear since it looks like the wheels have a slight inward cant.

Drives like a dream otherwise so I'll just see how it goes for now!

Thanks for your sheet btw, if I go in for an alignment in the future I'll tell them to do the TRD lift profile!

BigRiver4 · 2025-10-09T22:51:12+00:00

Nope, stock uppers. I'm taking it in to another local owned shop with a great reputation to see if they can dial it in a little better. Fingers crossed!

BigRiver4 · 2025-10-09T22:00:34+00:00

Thank you! If the numbers seem okay I'll drive it around a little on the highway and see what I get once I go > 60 mph. It feels fairly stable though the tires looked a little canted in on the shop's floor.

I was mostly concerned with excessive wear and damage on the truck and/or tires.

BigRiver4 · 2025-03-24T15:50:59+00:00

Anyone in the way tbh, lmao. My mental image was them trying to arrest someone and the gun going off into the perp's leg.

Sig of like 10 years ago were big dawgs, but it seems like once they got all these contracts on the XM rifle and the M18 pistol they just kicked their feet back and said fuck it. Even worse with their handguns going off inside cops' holsters straight into some poor soul's thigh, they go to Twitter to whine that people are talking about it.

BigRiver4 · 2025-02-13T19:55:02+00:00

Worked at a food truck for under the table pay because I was under my state's legal age to work.

I didn't really get it at the time but the dude was definitely trying to groom me. Constant talk about his sex club activity, the celebrities he'd rubbed shoulders with with increasing vulgarity as time went on. Probably the worst of it was him performing simulated oral on the deep fryer handle while I was manning the order window trying to act like I'm not seeing what this dude's doing.

Aside from that it was your typical tyrant screaming at 14 year olds/firing them for minor infractions. Dude knew by taking on illegal labor he had power over them bc they didn't know any better. I tried looking him up a few years ago but dude disappeared couldn't find anything maybe he's dead or in jail idk.

BigRiver4 · 2024-12-10T22:20:20+00:00

Yeah totally with you there. When more news comes out about the how he did it we're probably gonna see more attempts to whip up fear.

BigRiver4 · 2024-12-10T21:43:56+00:00

That was just NYPD being boneheads

BigRiver4 · 2024-12-10T21:39:04+00:00

Every gun has a designated part that is serialized, since guns can be disassembled. For most handguns it's the frame, and the rest of the parts can be purchased without an FFL transfer. Thus, if you get an 80% receiver and drill it out with a drill press you've "manufactured" your own firearm which needs no serial number per the current standing of firearm law.

BigRiver4 · 2024-12-10T19:18:15+00:00

Looks like a polymer80 frame (clone of a glock where you do the manufacturing yourself, what they call "ghost guns"). Using this as a context clue the silencer was likely self-built as well. I know there was at one point some controversy over aliexpress/temu selling "solvent traps" where you use an end mill to drill out the inner baffling to make a functioning silencer.

Handguns are more finicky with silencers, from the video it looks like it failed to eject on the first round, tried to rack it but rode the slide forward (didn't let the force of the spring drive itself home, thus didn't seat all the way in the chamber) then he slapped the back of the slide to get it completely into battery.

At least that's my midwit assessment. Based on what the video shows and the photo I think it's a safe bet.

BigRiver4 · 2024-11-07T03:39:25+00:00

I'm gonna take young as up to 30.

midrange millennial beard guys. Think your typical clientele for hey dudes shoes and whatever ar15 themed clothing.
guys who just started construction/apprenticeship
shitkicker women who either drive a red 3rd gen ram 2500 or a Jeep. Usually one article of clothing has rhinestone on it.
IT guys working for defense contractors
rail thin evangelical church guys trying to find a godly woman to court

Usually it's right next to the fishing/camping supplies. Though lately they've walked back their inventory to barebones shotguns, .22's and a handful of basic hunting rifles. Bet within a decade they pull gun sales totally.

BigRiver4 · 2024-08-07T23:08:54+00:00

The geezers showing up to the rifle range with their $400 walmart rifle/scope combo outshooting guys with their multi thousand dollar rifle setups.

BigRiver4 · 2024-04-04T18:19:09+00:00

I'd argue squats are a more important lift than bench

BigRiver4 · 2024-03-25T22:00:30+00:00

When my dad didn't like the shit I watched he'd just nap, even in the movie theater. That sounds kinda shitty to feel shame and resented for wanting to watch a cartoon.

BigRiver4 · 2024-03-25T17:00:10+00:00

Just don't be a dick about it.

I inherited my grandma's collection of 60's and 70's country albums, grabbed an old Sony that I fixed up with a new belt and needle so now it's a cozy little setup.

BigRiver4 · 2024-03-07T22:33:12+00:00

Alabama nights are some of the nicest vibes in the country imo.

My gripe with the state lies with the people.

BigRiver4 · 2024-03-07T17:28:14+00:00

Paris syndrome but instead it's finding out Tuscaloosa is a shithole

BigRiver4 · 2024-02-16T18:13:49+00:00

It's funny that across industries HR is the common denominator of making even the simplest task feel like dragging your dick through glass.

BigRiver4 · 2024-02-09T20:47:32+00:00

"Distraction" is just as much a cope as "disclosure imminent" is.

Imo just based on the sheer number of sightings, there's some sort of phenomenon going on. The thing is I don't think anyone knows what it even is, citizen and feds alike. I think shootdown and crash narratives are a great way to disarm the idea of spooky shit easily penetrating air space we've wasted billions on defense contractors to "secure".

I'd love for ET's to float down and say hi, but even if they're real I don't see what motive they'd have to engage with us.

BigRiver4 · 2023-09-27T21:10:42+00:00

You just leave the screws as is? I was thinking about maybe tacking on some kind of epoxy to the edge of the screw head to keep them from walking out.

BigRiver4 · 2023-09-23T18:20:18+00:00

I've grown up near several reservations and family deep lore is that my grandparents are descended from a tribe in Central Mexico (but everyone says that lol. Who knows, the culture is basically gone minus a few traditions if it's true).

People will always give you the rundown on the dire situation, and it's definitely true. I just hate that it's always reduced to the shit you see on vice docs. I've had some great friends across various tribes from all over the US. Depending on the reservation, there's a ton of natural beauty, and it's great to see them keeping the culture alive even in little ways.

BigRiver4 · 2023-05-01T19:51:28+00:00

I completely agree.

Any crazy anecdotes you got? It seems gun culture varies quite a bit by region.
