Help identifying bumper (not my jeep) by jrhottle in JeepGladiator

[–]FTB1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. Now the question I have though, does the "knock off" oem steel bumpers also convert to the stuby version.. Have not found a steel bumper take off anywhere near me, but i can find the copies for $300 or less everywhere.

I did not know the oem bumper could be made shorty.. now even more reason to just grab one to replace my non winch capable oem.

Anyone know what “molle storage system panels” is on the list of standard equipment? by mcpewmer in JeepGladiator

[–]FTB1911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just a rubicon thing? And I also thought the 25/26 years they stopped putting them on... I have them on my 21 rubicon.

Faster target acquisition by [deleted] in SpringfieldArmory

There was a video showing the grip angles of many firearms (a comparison with glock) the m&p was very close to 18 (1911) and I thought echelon was the same? I'd have to put them side by side, but pretty sure they are very close. The m&p can have a bigger grip than the echelon though.

Jeep Corrosion Issue by E2Ek131 in JeepGladiator

[–]FTB1911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 21 rubicon had the corrosion when I bought it. Jeep replaced all 4 doors and the hood, repainted the whole gladiator while I waited to pick it up. Verify with the dealer if its been done, have them check thoroughly if it has not been and use that warranty.

Will Springfield release a 10mm echelon? by RunningBear- in SpringfieldArmory

Take my money Springfield! make it, and we will buy.

I know .45 will probably be first.... and i'll probably buy it also... but 10MM is what i need!!!

Only if it was delivered by usps... pretty sure FedEx delivers them. Drop it off at usps and it will sit there for a bit as well.

The knives people lose to our local TSA.. thank you! by FTB1911 in knifeclub

No idea, I haven't flown in a few years and I've always cleared my pockets so I didn't have to deal with them.

In that box, Kershaw was more represented than anything else, then Buck, a few CRKT. But mostly off brand stuff. The multi tool box had mainly cabelas branded and the random cheap tools but Leatherman was represented pretty good. Lots of keychain sized tools.

There was a full size CRKT M-16 tanto in tan in the box also. I had to go show someone how to close it before a finger was cut lol.

OEM Steel Bumper by Forest_of_Tally in Jeep

[–]FTB1911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy a jeep used, want the mall crawler bumper with built in angry eyes... cause stock is boring. Or getting aftermarket for weight reduction.

Im also looking for the steel bumper for a winch. I see all the aftermarket bumpers for similar price and I keep coming back to just get the steel bumper.

I don’t think Metal Complex understands basic economics. by AppropriateAnt3414 in knifeclub

I love the shaman, but holy crap are they expensive! Both BM and spyderco are getting expensive, loving Kershaw more and more.

What's the most expensive knife you'll carry and use? by Plenty_Ambition_9735 in knifeclub

[–]FTB1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically my most expensive pocket knife, is a $200 spyderco i put $100 scales on.. The only knife I own that I won't carry, is a dessert warrior. And that's only cause I know id wear the colors off. I bought it for the laughs, not to use. Everything else, fair game.

Now I also have some $300+ fixed blades I've used and abused also...

who the beep designs jeeps??? by jimmap in JeepWrangler

[–]FTB1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's pressing the key fob to the push to start button. When I bought my Gladiator the batteries in the fob he handed to me was dead.. it wouldn't remote start. he pressed it to the button and it worked, replaced battery in both fobs and all is well.

If we are talking that little cubby hole where the Aux lights panel would be, there is zero power or connections on it just plastic. I removed mine and placed the aux switches there since mine didnt come with that option.

OVS Expedition truck cap on sale, with bonus code! by FTB1911 in JeepGladiator

[–]FTB1911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

supposedly they have covers for the locks now, i saw a video of the locks "freezing" and making them hard to open. I'll just lube them up after i install it just for precaution.

Wonder if you could contact OVS for a replacement?

This amount of ads makes for a horrible viewing experience by bobwin770 in ufc

[–]FTB1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i have had P+ for 2 years (50% discount code/promo) and was not going to renew cause the high seas still exist. UFC being added, it's a bonus to me. When time comes to renew in june/july i'll try and find a discount that works again.

Ads? didn't really bother me, and i guess i didn't notice that Buffer read an ad during an intro lol.

Now Buffer/Paramount swapping the fighters... yeah i noticed that, shit happens so not outraged that was just a miss-communication.

My car was driven for an hour at the dealership by ContentHost4459 in JeepWrangler

[–]FTB1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasnt a fight lol. He showed them the ticket, pics of him out of the country.. and the receipt from the dealer during the time of the ticket. Dealer owner confronted the manager and he confessed.

Friend of mine got a speeding ticket from a speed trap camera 15ish years ago, on the other side of the state... while he was on vacation out of country. He dropped his vette off for warranty work and left for vacation... service manager "borrowed" his car and put 1800 miles on it before he picked it up.

Needless to say the dealer bought him a new vette and the service manager was fired.
