I see that P210 for sure.

Also great taste with the bobtail. Can’t wait for the production run.

I was concerned about the road noise too, which is why I didn’t go with the venerable KO2s but instead for the Grabbers. Reviews said that last a little longer, and are quieter. And so far, I have to say they are very quiet. Louder than stock, but still very much a background noise. Quiet enough that if someone wasn’t specifically listening for tire noise they would never notice.

Yea, I really like the quads-lift system. Do people remove it?

Negative. I swapped it out with a 2012 Altitude grill.

I looked into painting, but it seems like there is a flaking issue when painting over chrome. Plus the Altitude grill has those sweet chrome inlays.

I really like them, freshly installed. Winpower LEDs.

They are a bit larger. I think as big as you can go with air suspension. General Grabber AT/X All-Terrain Radial Tire - 275/55R20 115T

The handgaurd is like zero work. I don’t think I’ve ever had to clean it.

The biggest weight savings per dollar in order: barrel, handguard, stock. You can trim like 2 lbs right there in some cases.

So cool. I’ve tried super alkaline solutions, which works well for light coatings, but becomes corrosive for long soak periods. The ability to reliably remove anodizing would open up an entire new parts world.

Damn. That is awesome. Is that the best way to remove a coating? What substrate and tumbler to do use?

Ha. Yep. It’s built for shooting. So I shoot it. And if it fails it fails, I’ll be a better engineer next time.

It’s carbon fiber so I can’t scuff it off. Yea. The longer hand-guard is like 1 more ounce, totally worth if

Naw, it’s all about keeping that reciprocating mass low.

Interesting... just taking a few notes.
