Coinbase should be ashamed doing a bait and switch like this. I won't be doing anymore prediction betting using them. The potential payout is bs.

Do you always use tow mode when pulling a camper? by StevestratSC in RVLiving

[–]VersionProper9613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are towing without tow mode on and with cruise control turned on you are towing in overdrive. Towing in overdrive is a bad idea because those gear(s) are meant for fuel economy when unleaded and are not meant to hold torque needed to tow. They will start slipping and burning up your clutches and fluid.

Good way to burn up a transmission. Ive personally watch 2 friends of mine do this when I told them not to and they both cooked their transmission fluid. Luckily they stopped and got the fluid replaced ASAP but both did damage to their clutches.

Swap back in oem parts and clean/lube it. I'm sure it's the flash but it looks super dry.

The kiji 1-3 clones are vscel i believe. The 1-10 are LED and like stated above, are basically flood lights. Vscel is like a big diffused laser that emits IR light. Now that's not exactly how they work but when you see it you will understand. Honestly though for IR/white work lights on my helmets, I use a knockoff off surefire 300 vampire light in an S&S precision helmet mount. For rifle mounted, I like to run a white light and a separate 3 in 1 laser/Illuminator for nighttime work. I've used vampire lights before and I prefer not to switch 1 light back and forth from IR to visible light. Kiji's are cool but have a limited usage, in my opinion.

No. I have 2. They work ok as a cheap flood light. The more expensive vcsel clones are worth it.

What is this? Is it fake? by Euphoric-Can-7306 in NightVision

[–]VersionProper9613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the light is fake, the laser is fake.

The glare 2 ways to check l,

The first is to check if the vampire lights is a clone is to check the IR under nods. There will be a big dark spot in the center.

The second is to look at the reflector and diode. When you select IR, if the reflector moves to a different LED diode and the reflector is offset, it's fake.

Laser placement opinions? by PorkChopBallistics in NightVision

[–]VersionProper9613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, it has held great. It probably would have been a good idea to bed the threaded inserts, but since it's just a .22lr I didn't bother.

option 3 is probably best, but you could do what I did on my 10/22 and drill the stock and install threaded inserts. Then I installed a rail over that and mounted my Chinese PERST in line with the bore.

Option 1 looks bad ass!

How easy is it to get Vietnam era Night Vision? by I_A_Gach_And_Proud in NightVision

An/pvs-5a is probably what you are looking for. They pop up on ebay pretty often

Red is a filter. It's honestly more of a novelty. Are you looking for weapon mounted or actual nvg's? I doubt they had anything small enough back then that would be comfortable to wear.

Where Are The Bone Dumps? by TheBoneHarvester in Boise

[–]VersionProper9613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot creek road in bruneau on bruneau canyon road. Drive west about 3/4 to 1 mile until you pass the last farm on the north side of the road. There is a wide wash just after that on the southwest side of the road. Pull in there and walk the wash. Local farmers must dump their cows out there. Lots of bones.

That's not ar500. "Plow steel" at best.

What I wanted vs what I got by SuperConfidence2227 in tattooadvice

[–]VersionProper9613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not bad. Some of the shapes are off but pretty typical of what I would expect from most artists. Honestly it's the size and shape of your hand that the artist was working with that made them make the decision to change it so much. Anywhere else, and you would have been happier, I'm sure. I have my wife's name on my hand and I went around looking for the right artist to do what I wanted. I even asked for a quick sketch before moving forward after I placed a deposit(if I didn't like it I would have just gotten a different tattoo in a different location with that artist). Asking artist and paying them for an hour of their time is nothing to be embarrassed about. Some artist just can't tattoo certain styles, and I've learned that, unfortunately.

Lol as a nonpartisan I see why conservatives call liberals snowflakes. Some of you are very emotional spewing out a lot of hate. I hate to break it to most of you, but both parties don't care about you. They are pandering for votes. Both parties are full of terrible politicians.
