    New Jeep Pick Up to be unveiled...The Gladiator

    its not called a scrambler, because a scrambler was cool little standard cab with small bed for stuff. it maintained offroadability with a 103 inch wheelbase. a standard cab jeep with a small bed would be a scrambler. feel free to call it yo mama if you want, it still wont be yo mama. this is...

    Any one dumb enough....

    because im looking at a toy to play with that utilizes the bigger nato rounds. I find buying the ar style lower in a pistol registration has much more potential for fun and versatility. i'd put a kx3 style flash can on it, not a muzzle brake, but i'm sure it'd suck to be beside it.

    Any one dumb enough....

    keep in mind, it's a pistol, with the "arm grip" stock like my 300 blk. about recoil. high power rounds, l find are sometimes better in a pistol. held correctly youre looking at 12-16 inches of recoil absorption. my long colt loads check out at 25 ft-lbs in my 3lb ruger. the 308 load in a 9...

    Any one dumb enough....

    The thought was a second upper with cases cut and necked to accommodate a 450gr hornady 416 boat tail, subsonic. the powder ought to be fairly burned in a 9" upper. thats just a toy project though and the 308 upper would make it so the new pistol lower wasnt a complete waste.

    Any one dumb enough....

    Does anyone know of a chart with 308 ballistics down to say... 9"? its basically elon musks flame thrower at that point, but i got an itch for a 308 pistol. remington had those xp100's in some rounds that were a tad overbore for the application, but i cant find any external ballistic data...

    Issues with Inka Outdoors

    how may down payments did he get in '17? what was the total production vs orders? Maybe request the DA claw back/seize all the trailers distributed and auction them off for an equal distribution of funds to all investors. it seems those that received a trailer actually benefited materially at...

    A Simple Drawerless Drawer System for SUVs

    no build thread. sorry. 1) remove side cargo panels and use the as a pattern in 1/4" plywood 2) decide the top height you want to sleep. as you can see, i made mine at about the base of the rear window. now that i use it, its too high, theres losta of storage under it, but another 4" lower and...

    Issues with Inka Outdoors

    If it makes you feel any better, you can have the experience I have, have all the documents in order, have the customer be doing 13 billion a year, and have a judgement for five figures not worth the paper it written on, because you cant squeeze blood from a turnip. It happens, even when you're...

    Issues with Inka Outdoors

    you all do realize this has nothing to do with "overlanding". its just a business that violated any good business models and all ethics, and it was clear from the START OF THE THREAD. POST 1. anyone that made excuses for it, aided and abetted the crime. when someone is running a ponzi scheme...

    The airgun thread - lets see where this goes.

    10-15 years ago, there a was fella in Maryland? that made some spectacular works of art in all sorts of gauges. i think his bigger ones flung 750-900gr slugs. the wood and metal work were reminiscent of the lancaster flints. always wanted one. i cant seem to find that sight again. I thought...

    2012 Rubicon AEV - Habitat For Sale - SOLD

    pretty much what i'd want as my next rig, but thats a few years and 100000 miles out. id like to note, i think nemo is discontinuing the this type of top for the new wranglers. not sure, but from what i read there isnt a production run planned. this top is more setup work, but more livable if...

    shadow cruiser popup question.

    The pictures do not do it justice... Fit and finish is better than factory. It’s tight, and well thought out. If you wanted an Alaskan, and thought maybe you should have jumped on this, you were right. I’m just lucky I have a freind with free space and tool use in a wood shop. Ripperj, I hope...
