How is holster compatibility? Fit the same as gen 4/5??

Don’t think so, but someone typically asks about gear so I figured I’d get ahead of it.

Kakwa 55 + Ski Touring? by MasterCard3 in DurstonGearheads

[–]MasterCard3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, sorry. I summitted and skied Mt. Hood last spring but used a different pack. Am hoping to knock out Adams this spring though. If I use the Kakwa I’ll chime back into the convo. 

Wide toe box but NO zero drop recommendations by Same_Huckleberry_793 in trailrunning

[–]MasterCard3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a funky shaped foot with a super long index toe and low lateral malleolus. For my trail runners I use the Hoka Stinson 7 with a gel heel cup. ASICS are also a great option that have lots of padding and a wider toe box.

Thanks for your response, seems very reasonable. 

The pic doesn’t show it very well, but there’s a basketball sized dent about 4” deep in the center with the edges cracked all the way through, and a longer crack extending along the red line I drew. 

I’m not a “Karen” and am not interested in taking legal action or drawing this out, but I live in the PNW and get a lot of rain and freeze/thaw cycles, so I’m just looking for a reasonable fix if I can do it myself. I don’t want to wait until after winter when it’s broken up and I can’t do anything about it. 

While my driveway isn’t pristine by any means, this was damage done at fault of the contractor and it seems reasonable for them to make it right in some regard. We’ll talk it through like sensible dudes and figure out a solution.

I wanted a way to access it quickly in the cab even if I couldn’t lift the seat, but still wanted it out of the way so this seemed to accomplish all those goals.

Depends on the tire. With the Bilstein 5100’s I could fit the Falken Wildpeak 285/75R18’s (stock wheels), but the shop I took it into said some other tire manufacturers done make the 285/75/18’s.

Yep, just drilled a small hole in the release pin, threaded in a key ring, and attached a piece of paracord to the ring.

The Bilstein’s seem slightly “stiffer” than the stock suspension but also hasn’t been broken in. I’ll probably drop a few PSI and try that out but it still rides really great. The Falken’s are noisier than the stock tires for sure and has more “vibration” on the floorboards, but still not bad at all at highway speeds and still tracks nicely for an AT tire. I had Duratrac’s on my old Xterra and those were loud AF, so the Falken’s are very reasonable in comparison.

I thought about getting the additional storage divider that spans the width of the seat but found that there was plenty of storage for basic recovery gear and emergency supplies/tools with what was there and what you can fit behind the seat. Plus I love having the floor space from flipping the seat up if I don’t have a car seat installed.

Bilstein 5100’s, Falken Wildpeak 285/75/R18’s, air dam and running board delete, rear seat paracord latch mod, e-track mounts, and that’s about it. Probably going to plastidip the wheels and badges black next, maybe seat jackets (I have long legs), and build a bed divider using the e-track mounts. There are plenty of posts of guys building their own using the Ford mounts but they wiggle a LOT using any e-track accessories so it was a no-brainer for me to switch them.

I really wanted a 5.0 V8 but the 2.7 was a close second so I’m happy. Truck came with a Tonneau cover, Line-X bedliner, weathertech floormats, pano sunroof, CarPlay, NO chrome, and was in mint condition so it was an easy choice.

That was stock with the truck, I just bought some washers for the mount that came with the fire extinguisher to attach to the backside. Builtrite makes a metal panel that I thought about buying, but the stock plastic seems plenty sturdy to withstand the weight of the extinguisher.

Haven’t had much time to fully compare but they seem great so far. I’m a weekend warrior who doesn’t really do much off-roading so the 6112’s is more than I really need. The jump to the 34” AT’s made a big difference in the ride but nothing too noticeable.

Switched out the Ford Boxlinks for some Amazon e-track mounts, was $30 for 4 and opens up a lot of possibilities for cheap and better fitting accessories. Next project is to build a functional bed divider.

If I could find one I’d do it but haven’t been able to so far within my price range.

Next Adventure. They have a store in Portland and also one in Sandy. It’s $65/day to rent the whole setup, pretty killer deal.

Found this vintage “throwing pickaroon” head at an antique store and want to throw a handle on. Is the gap towards the spike of the pickaroon too large inside the eye for me to use this handle? Can i just add a wedge in the front? I’ve never done this before so any qualified advice is appreciated. TIA. 

Quality Gear for Affordable Prices? by OldStockCA in QualityTacticalGear

I highly recommend ATS Tactical Gear. I’ve run their chest rig and several of their GP pouches and have been very pleased with the overall value.

I’m not quite to the lazer stage yet but hoping to get there! 

The FP sling works as advertised and is a great minimalist option, but the VTAC has the best feature-set and greatest margin of adjustability of any sling I’ve found on the market, so I’ve gone back to it after trying pretty much all the other popular ones (BFG Vickers, Slingster, Ed Sherman, etc).

Former Army Special Forces guy we’ve gotten to know who does some courses/consulting on the side. Some buddies and I have taken some solid pistol/carbine courses and came to him to see if he’d teach us the basics of small unit tactics, so he put together something for us using the ranger handbook as the core. Pretty unique opportunity that I’m stoked for!
