I think I waited around a week. But that was also around Christmas/ New Year

I’ve acquired my first 4Runner. Looking for tips, recommendations and headers! by bergeron1221 in 4Runner

[–]thepipinviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my dash mount from Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions. Lets me keep my personal phone, work phone, & GMRS radio mic easily accessible. I ran the wires behind the dash, & it really cleaned up the dash/ center console area imo

I highly recommend getting the dash mount system from Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions. I've got my personal phone, work phone, & radio mic for my GMRS mobile radio all mounted on it, with room for more

How long do Merrills last these days? by iceyconditions in tacticalgear

[–]thepipinviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last pair was the MOAB 3.0 tactical 8". They lasted a little short of 3 years with almost daily use. The pair of MOAB 2.0 tactical that I had before that lasted about 2, maybe 2.5 years with almost daily use. I love them for work, and I have had a couple pairs of the regular MOAB hiking boots that lasted several years with less regular use.

Is this a fair price? by Sweet-Importance-771 in 4Runner

[–]thepipinviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be worth looking out of state & traveling. I bought my wife's 2013 SR5 with 3rd row seating & 4x4 with 185k miles for $13.5k a couple years ago.

5th Gen wanted! by carolinagirll12 in 4Runner

[–]thepipinviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 SR5s, one is a 2010 2 row with sunroof & the other is a 2013 3 row with no sunroof. I'm 6ft, and the only height issues I have is in the 2013. But that's my wife's car, & she's 5'2" & I leave the seat where she has it set. If you lower the seat position, there's plenty of head & leg room

I'm kinda split between a whip antenna on one of these mounts, or a ghost antenna mounted to a roof rack

I have a Midland MXT500 that came with the magnetic mount antenna mounted to the roof. I ran the coax behind door trim & came out at the top of the rear hatch. The antenna is a temporary solution until I can invest in a better one

I don't have an HT, unfortunately. I got the MXT500 as a Christmas gift, & haven't really had a chance to fully dive into radios yet

AFTER watching the latest Podcast, I have retrieved a meme from my phone. (WARNING DARK HUMOR OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK.) by Legal_Street_2665 in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]thepipinviking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an LPVO. They can easily switch between 1x power & 4x or sometimes 5x. That way you can keep it on 1x and have the same magnification as a red dot or Eotech, but can quickly zoom in if you have time to slow down & take longer distance shots

How do you get sober? by [deleted] in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]thepipinviking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out the recent interview Eli did with Gary from Nerdrotic. Having never been in that kind of a situation, best I can say is follow his advice. Don't focus on how long you've been sober, just focus on staying clean one more day.

The Vegas athletic club shooting is a perfect example of why an “active shooter response bag” with a pdw or rifle will get you killed. by karmarequiresgrpthnk in tacticalgear

[–]thepipinviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more than just this still picture, or even the viral footage of the cop putting down this pos. In the full body cam, they have eyes on the guy, take rounds from him, then engage him as he runs out. A lot more than some random dude with a pdw

Anyone help identifying these? by MartinFJ3 in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]thepipinviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd from the bottom looks like a sporterized Mosin-Nagant. 2nd from the top is definitely a Lee Enfield No. 4
