[misty mango]

and falling for lies lmao

yes they had
airshit vests
the main ones on the ground post summer last year actually have equipment

[twin creek]

i have noticed

[ashen edge]

also against server rules :/

its bannable

might want ot get rid of it

[twin creek]

its not even political tho

[ashen edge]

the training plates that where real and the real plates that where fake XD

[misty mango]

not really allowed to talk about the unnamed war here

mods dont like it

[ashen edge]

this lol

i was looking at 51 dollar "lvl 4" plates on ali and saw a man from russia in EMR leaving a review of them

these are more expensive than the ones i was looking at

migth get the 51 dollar ones for kicks

[twin creek]

buy 2 sets

one to test

and one to wear if they work

[misty mango]

youre nearing RMA multicurve prices there

also "communicate with seller, top stove"

top stove

[ashen edge]

the other ones is 51 plus 14 shipping per plate

[misty mango]

[ashen edge]

i wish i could get non ebay armor : ( alas nobody in the US will sell to me

[misty mango]

NY L

[ashen edge]

i cant have the packages properly labeled

[misty mango]

even Britain is more free than you💪

(somehow)

[ashen edge]

still the UK tho so L

[misty mango]

real

[pulsar tusk]

I have one aswell and its nice

[pulsar tusk]

Body armor laws in US are wonky right now

[ashen edge]

indeed

i however have a bin of vests

My 0.5 lenses is the only one that will focus on my phone

And have more on the way because I have a crippling addiction to strange and shitty Russian vests

[pseudo fossil]

U don’t got friends or family in other states lol go there and get it

[ashen edge]

I’m willing to take the fall if they start enforcing the Body armor ban I’m not willing to have others take it because of me

[coarse laurel]

Only in certain communist states

[ashen edge]

Goofy ah NY

🥲

[pulsar tusk]

Pretty sure you cant sell armor without a license in any state

For protection purposes^*

For “collection” purposes you can

[coarse laurel]

Lol you can tell that to everyone selling shit in fb, surplus shops, etc

[pulsar tusk]

Surplus shops almost always have in the description “not for protection purposes”

[coarse laurel]

I’ve also never heard of anyone needing a license to outright sell body armor and plates. Only ITAR restrictions

Another person said something about selling issued plates as a no no but I still see a lot of deployment plates being sold or listed

[pulsar tusk]

Current issue stuff is always restricted

Anything non standard is fine

Like old esapis

[coarse laurel]

Restricted my ass

Haha

[pulsar tusk]

Like no civilians should have issued OCP really

Selling it is bad buying it isnt

[coarse laurel]

If only people actually enforced that

[pulsar tusk]

Same thing with most “illegal” knives

Illegal to sell

Not buy

[coarse laurel]

I actually managed to snag some off the books plates from some 3rd batt guy ets’ ing

[pulsar tusk]

You mean you caught it as it fell off the truck

🤨

[coarse laurel]

You would be surprised the amount of money that’s wasted and taken off the books around here

1-507 (ABN School) gave me a free MOLLE 4k for 0 reason

And I barely even go to their AO since I work at ranger school

[ancient grail]

All of the mre boxes I've taken

[misty mango]

[snow scarab]

no it isn’t.

only if it has some sort of classified nature to it

[snow scarab]

try to get me an opscore if you don’t mind

please

[pulsar tusk]

Since when

[snow scarab]

since forever

[pulsar tusk]

As far as i know, anything thats current issue isn’t available to the public and soldiers get penalized for selling it

[snow scarab]

if it’s not on the supply list, it’s free game

if it’s on a supply list, yes it’s illegal to sell it

otherwise it technically doesn’t exist

[pulsar tusk]

So… issued gear?

[low fox]

The gabagoo helmet

[snow scarab]

holy fuck. no. issued gear can get written off just like anything else. if it’s off the books, it’s free game. that’s how people sell IOTVs and even brand new MSVs before some units get them

[coarse laurel]

Also shit gets lost all the time, if it does the individual service member just pays for it

[plush topaz]

Explain how relevant to sliced deli meat

[low fox]

gabagoo

[grand portal]

Youre plate is hilarious

[plush topaz]

Thank you. I get a lot of laughs from passerbys

[grand portal]

Do they require two plates by law on that side of the world?

[low zodiac]

@plush topaz

[stuck hazel]

Are those the eBay arms lol?

[low fox]

amazon

lmaooooo

cheap and they work fine

only like 120 buckaaroonies

[stuck hazel]

Shit I got the exact same ones for like £20 and they broke on installation

QC lottery W

[low fox]

mine are durable asf

[stuck hazel]

Very good

Sordin arc rail adapters are a pain to get

Gave up and just got Sara’s

[low fox]

i have to re-adjust the positioning every time i put on the helmet but takes like less than 3 secs lmao

[misty mango]

unity MARK try not to be mid asf challenge

[plush topaz]

HAHAHAHAHA

[low fox]

i had the peltor ox-horns but they broke 💀

[low zodiac]

I was there for a hour lmfao

The recovery boards didn’t do shit

[misty mango]

[low zodiac]

I was lazy and didn’t check the other side of the hill

[plush topaz]

I guess you don't learn until you fuck up

[low zodiac]

I thought it was flat, until the frame immediately landed on the dirt

💀

[stuck hazel]

Eh you’ll live

[low zodiac]

I had to flag down a jeep and get the tow of shame

[low fox]

exactly

[low zodiac]

My chain saved me

[misty mango]

💀

[misty mango]

this kids is why you always full send hills

wouldnt get stuck if you had the momentum

[low zodiac]

There’s a tacoma owner that has done that before trying to elude the police

[plush topaz]

His wheelbase is too long for that obstacle

[low fox]

i love my tacoma

tacoma go brrr

[misty mango]

not if you go fast enough

[plush topaz]

Don't encourage him lol

[low zodiac]

I could’ve made it over if I had a winch and fill skids and sliders

But that’s a shit ton of gear

[misty mango]

oh i will

and it will be funny

[plush topaz]

Did you take off the Raptors

[low zodiac]

Yep, sold them for 250$

[plush topaz]

Good

Junk

[low zodiac]

They’d have broke instantly if I took them there

[plush topaz]

Yup

[low zodiac]

There was nobody on the trail practically

I intentionally went on Memorial Day so it’d be full of people who know what they are doing lol

[plush topaz]

Ya don't go wheeling alone

[low zodiac]

I’d have been stuck stuck if that jeep didn’t randomly roll by

[misty mango]

live and learn ig

[low zodiac]

The trail really wasn’t for a stock truck I don’t think

It is listed as intermediate

[plush topaz]

You need tints

[low zodiac]

I do

My state is really strict tho, but my vehicle already breaks so many laws that it wouldn’t even make the ticket

[plush topaz]

Beauty view

[plush topaz]

Does it? Why

[low zodiac]

Ig it’s just my lights and no front plate

I have 7 forward facing lights when I can only legally have 4

I’m supposed to cover the extras up while on public roads

[plush topaz]

Lol theres a limit?

Interesting

[low zodiac]

Yeah, for some reason lol

I genuinely used them in the national park because of how bad the rain was getting

And just turn them off if I see other people

[misty mango]

cringe lmao

[low zodiac]

They really do help with visibility a ton despite not having great candela

[low zodiac]

Very

50% is the max tint for the front windows

Virginia is a horrible car state

[misty mango]

CRINGE!!!!

[low zodiac]

35% rear tint too

[misty mango]

bruh

[low zodiac]

No sun strips on windshields either

[misty mango]

ok that one is utter bullshit wtf

[low zodiac]

I should just say fuck it and black my shit out anyways

[misty mango]

as you should

[low zodiac]

I’m already super illegal lol

I’m not putting a front plate on, the state of Virginia can cope and seethe

And I’m definitely not covering my front lights

The ticket is worth it

[plush topaz]

I would if I were you

I take mine off when I wheel

No front plate is just asking for cops

[low zodiac]

It completely ruins the black look of the chinesium bumper I have, and they don’t sell black plates here for some reason

It’s a 87$ fine, which eh, it isn’t that bad

Insurance doesn’t care either

[plush topaz]

Not about the fine

It's about cops wasting your time

[misty mango]

but think of it this way

youre also wasting the cops time

[austere moat]

bruh this is random as hell but I just clicked on your profile and apparently I got chat history with you from last year, that's crazy.

You got anymore military wallpapers? lmao

[low zodiac]

a few

[muted lynx]

We talkin wheeling? I just got back from a Texas/New Mexico/Arizona/Utah/and Colorado trip

[low zodiac]

mostly of just planes tho

[low zodiac]

mine was in va

[muted lynx]

My cousins is a real nice gen 3, my runner is a gen5

Went to Moab for the first time, which was sweet

[plush topaz]

4runner gang

[low zodiac]

i really want to go out west, the east coast just isnt that interesting anymore

[muted lynx]

Bless

Colorado is insane if you like mountain stuff and cliff hangs

[plush topaz]

Aero is learning. Show him the way.

[low zodiac]

i got on one area i could roll the truck and it scared me dearly

[muted lynx]

Rolling isnt to bad as long as it’s not your car and your not rolling far

[plush topaz]

Your truck came so kitted already. Can't wait to see the progress

[muted lynx]

Most rolling is just a tip over

[low zodiac]

it really did lol, was a pretty big part of the decision

[plush topaz]

You better not cheap out

[low zodiac]

i already regret cheaping out on my lights

[plush topaz]

No rough country suspension and fuel wheels

[low zodiac]

im going to get some cbi sliders next i think

the wheels and suspension actually served me just fine stock

[plush topaz]

My man

[muted lynx]

A stock/lightly modded Toyota will do most things in the US easily

[plush topaz]

You need AT or MT 33's and a 2" lift minimum

[low zodiac]

i would do the jump to bilstine 5100s if i didnt already have 4600s

but 33s for sure are going to me by tire size

if not 35s, but 35s are pretty hard to do

[plush topaz]

Then get a toyTec spacer lift

[plush topaz]

Expensive. Lots of work.

[low zodiac]

yeah, 35s seem to be a flex more than anything

but i do love a good flex

[plush topaz]

I have 31's still but 2" lift. JBA UCA's

[low zodiac]

it looks so good its almost worth breaking axles

and getting 7 less mpg

[plush topaz]

I can hear the rub from here

[low zodiac]

its so expensive to fit them, you have to get basically a entirely new fender setup

like 700$ for the fender work alone

but a brotha can dream

[muted lynx]

the cement grey looks so good

[plush topaz]

When my Viper sells I'm getting wheels and tires

[low zodiac]

youre selling the viper?

[plush topaz]

Ya

[low zodiac]

a shame

whoever buys it will certainly crash it

[low zodiac]

of the bland colors its the best

the orange is probably my favorite color a tacoma can come in tho

[muted lynx]

i really like the army green alot

[low zodiac]

its aight

better than white

a white tacoma is just not it

[muted lynx]

lol the white 4runners are the soccer mom special

[low zodiac]

fr

[plush topaz]

I found this 1999 Dodge Viper on AutoTrader: http://www.autotrader.ca/go/19-12562576

White trds are the most common

[low zodiac]

professional photographer?

[plush topaz]

Ya

My buddy

[low zodiac]

wack

whats that little microphone thing on the dash for?

above the gauge cluster

[plush topaz]

Bluetooth!

[low zodiac]

💀

modernized

the cupholder is also very funny

[plush topaz]

You can't take a phone call otherwise too loud lol

[low zodiac]

dodge really didnt like getting the most cupholder filled car award

[plush topaz]

The cup holder is also aftermarket lol

[low zodiac]

whats the fastest youve ever gotten it to?

[plush topaz]

170mph

[low zodiac]

must feel like approaching light speed in such a raw car

[plush topaz]

It felt amazing

[low zodiac]

whats in the center console area? the transmission?

or is it just a ton of free space to put stuff

[plush topaz]

?

[grand portal]

@low zodiac your a madman for not having a winch and a couple come alongs and a jack

Be prepared next time

[low zodiac]

theres this giant pod in the middle

now that i look at it, it surely is the transmission

there are no doors to it

[plush topaz]

That's all tremec transmission baby

[low zodiac]

i was told that its best to put your money into actually getting out instead of getting gear

i was told correctly

cause that was way more fun breezing through the trail

[grand portal]

That makes no sense

Go out for sure but be prepared

[plush topaz]

You learn a lot by getting stuck

[low zodiac]

^

i went on that trail thinking my 2 recovery boards would save the day lol

it was the chain that saved me, i nearly didnt bring it

its super rusty and old

[plush topaz]

Straps

[low zodiac]

i need those

[grand portal]

If you had even a hand winch you would have popped out of there in minutes

[low zodiac]

yes

[grand portal]

But cool man, play russian roulette the way you want to play it i guess

[plush topaz]

@grand portal what do you drive you critical sob

[low zodiac]

^

[plush topaz]

[low zodiac]

inb4 f150 fx4

[grand portal]

2500 silverado

[low zodiac]

called it

[plush topaz]

So a tank that's useless on trails

[grand portal]

its jacked up

It gets where it needs too

[low zodiac]

it physically wouldnt be able to traverse that trail

[muted lynx]

most the trails in america are to narrow for big trucks anymore

[low zodiac]

^

i was getting branches in my cab and im in a tacoma lol

[grand portal]

I got forestry truck roads and wide ass trails here

[plush topaz]

Embrace the pin stripe.

[muted lynx]

if that wasn't the case, i would have a land cruiser

[low zodiac]

a subaru can traverse a fire road

[plush topaz]

The new Tacoma is gigantic

[muted lynx]

im nervous to see the 4runner

[plush topaz]

It's as long as the smallest tundra

[low zodiac]

i havent even seen its size specs yet

[muted lynx]

the sequoia is sick though

way to expensive

but, cool

[plush topaz]

Lacks interior space

[low zodiac]

they are going to find a way to make the 24' trd offroad cost 70k new

[muted lynx]

i was in one recently, i didn't mind it. but im used to my 4runner, so it was bigger still

[plush topaz]

@low zodiac the hitch is a part of the frame. So no high clearance modifications

[muted lynx]

i saw a new sequoia trd pro for 110k at a dealership recently

[plush topaz]

Fun fact. Highlander has as much interior space as our Gen 5

[low zodiac]

the horror

mine was 40k flat with a great trade in deal

8300 miles

and all the shit bolted to it

[muted lynx]

yeah, the highlander fucks for a family vehicle

[plush topaz]

I like the new tacoma. But it has its issues

[muted lynx]

i have yet to see one in person

or look into it too much

[plush topaz]

You won't for a while.

[low zodiac]

im not sold on it

4 banger just aint right for a truck

turboed or not

[plush topaz]

They just keep adding so much useless and electronic shit

All cars will be that way eventually but still

[low zodiac]

the electronic gauge cluster trend is awful imo

[plush topaz]

Electronic drive selector. Electronic e brake

[muted lynx]

what do yall think about FJs?

[low zodiac]

whoever greenlighted the 23' broncos drive selector needs to be fired

[low zodiac]

hood classic

[muted lynx]

i got to do some MOAB obstacles in one, and now i kinda want one lmao

[low zodiac]

its a pretty neat vehicle, i like them

i wish they where still made

its mandatory that it has a white roof

[muted lynx]

i bet they'll come back now that 4x4s are big again

[low zodiac]

i think production stopped globally in 2019

[muted lynx]

with the new bronco and everything

every video on them on youtube says "they should still make this vehicle" lmao

[plush topaz]

Great. Unique. Rust prone though.

[grand portal]

When we where growing up dad had a standard orange bronco 2 with brown interior, we use to bomb around in trails with. The new bronco is a abomination. Its like take the bronco 2 and make it marketable to soccer moms

[plush topaz]

Not sure where you live. May be a non issue

[muted lynx]

all toyotas are unfortunately where i live lmao

[plush topaz]

Oy vey

[muted lynx]

undercoat is a must

[plush topaz]

I use krown

[low zodiac]

i need to do mine before the winter comes

[barren kettle]

sport bronco is ugly but the offroad ones look cool imo

[low zodiac]

my in law has a sasquatch, i can say with 100% certainty that itll never even see a dirt road

a true shame

[grand portal]

Bring back square bodies, wind resistance is for race cars lol

[low zodiac]

i even offered him to come with me and he blew it off lol

[plush topaz]

What a loser

[low zodiac]

it amazes me that people will buy a 4x4 and then be worried about scratching it

[plush topaz]

Pointless

[low zodiac]

he would have a heart attack if it high centered

[barren kettle]

sadly i think thats the life of a large percentage of offroad vehicles

[muted lynx]

my 4runner has taken many branches across the side lmao

[plush topaz]

One of the reasons new taco has no front locker

[low zodiac]

have yet to see a trd pro anywhere other than walmart parking lots

[plush topaz]

Such a waste

[barren kettle]

the amount of preppy girls who drive jacked up jeeps at my old school was insane

[low zodiac]

the most hardcore offroaders buy a sr5 with 4wd and then turn it into a offroad beast

[barren kettle]

always spotless of course

[plush topaz]

That is the way

[muted lynx]

that's what me and my cousin did lmao

[low zodiac]

i like the balance of the trd offroad, it gives me enough stuff to learn on but its not blatantly overpriced like the trd pro

[grand portal]

My high school mechanics class turned a geo tracker into a tank lol.

[plush topaz]

My first runner was a trail (which is now a trd offroad)

[low zodiac]

real deal mud

i have yet to encounter it

[plush topaz]

Don't bother. It's aids

[low zodiac]

after 2 hours its all aids

[muted lynx]

"mudding" is real big here, and im not a fan really lmao

i would rather go on trails

[low zodiac]

i hate having to constantly go from 4hi to 4lo because of the inconsistency in the trail

[muted lynx]

fj spotted

[low zodiac]

its worth the views tho

[grand portal]

I get to do mudding anytime it rains lol

[plush topaz]

Just stay in 4lo

[low zodiac]

you can, but then the engine is at 3k rpm at 5mph

[plush topaz]

But the trails you were on looked easy

[low zodiac]

yeah they where

[plush topaz]

Or set crawl control and take a nap

[low zodiac]

the part i got caught on was a optional part

[low zodiac]

manual

[plush topaz]

Oh

[low zodiac]

for reasons unknown to me when its in 4lo it will somehow idle forwards with the clutch depressed

its so weird

i do get a-trac tho

its more or less the same thing as crawl control

[plush topaz]

Faux front locker

Works

[low zodiac]

i see videos of people setting crawl control on their shit and then going up a rocky cliff face

it makes me cringe so much when it violently runs into rocks

it works, but it aint pretty

[plush topaz]

Hah

I use it for steep hill descent

It's fun

[low zodiac]

i just push the clutch in and ride the brakes

and pray it doesnt roll

hills are scary

[granite tartan]

Get glocks

[misty mango]

iwb a 57 and fnx45

[coarse laurel]

Your best bet for the M18 is one of those custom kydex holsters

[misty mango]

dosent trex make one for the m18

i know GBRS might

[coarse laurel]

They do

I ordered one of their holsters for work because I noticed my other kydex holster was abit of a tight fit even with the adjustment

[plush topaz]

You want to appendix carry an fnx?

[vale bramble]

@plush topaz why not i like a variety anything wrong with my choices?

[vale bramble]

eh maybe might get a 19x but im getting a benli next before anymore handguns looking at optics n that shotgun rn

[ashen edge]

not sure if this is the right place but i picked up 2 cases of these with 2021 inspection dates for 100 bucks a while back, 10 rations per case

mains are pretty mid and mostly contain beans in different forms

but for $5 a 24hour ration i am happy with it

[muted gate]

5 per is nice

[coarse laurel]

Is my go to

I always carry hot sauce to make it worthwhile

[ashen edge]

that shit killed me in basic swear to god💀

i would rather not eat than have chicken chunks

beef strips in savory tomato sauce though😩

[plush topaz]

I really hope y'all buy mre's for camping

And don't eat them at home

[snow scarab]

YES. THANK YOU

[snow scarab]

you’re just stupid

drain the liquid, add the salt and pepper

[plush topaz]

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

[fathom sparrow]

[snow scarab]

@plush topaz @storm peak @low fox

it says 45 long o nthe inscription for larp reasons but it is a 357

[muted gate]

go to is the hashbrowns, i bring some creole spice in a waterproof match case. get some of the cheese spread from a buddy for the poppy seed cake and his tabasco if his menu has it. Heat cheese with hashbrowns, mix in some spice and hot sauce

[granite tartan]

Looks good

[grand portal]

@torpid hare those are real guns?

Damn thats cool who makes em?

I want to rp as vash at the range

[ashen edge]

tried a chest rig and ive come to the the conclusion that they are super annoying to use. before this ive only used a sling bag magazine carrier and having this fucking thing attached to your chest makes maneuvering (laying down, crouching, squatting, and bringing up the weapon) a huge pain in the ass as the pouches get in the way (even without a armor vest), i assume PC's are even more annoying because the pouches sit in front of a plate. has anyone else run into this or am i tripping?

[plush topaz]

If it's properly fitted then every shooting position should be fine

Prone is the only one you have to get used to

It isn't shitty. It's just different.

[ashen edge]

i wasnt trying to imply that but i get what you mean

[plush topaz]

I forgot what you wrote. But you said annoying. That's the word I should've used.

Not shitty. So my bad

mres are gross and expensive for what they are

just buy mountain house meals like the rest of us adults

i just got back from the commissary and a box of mres (12 of em) were $151

get them shits free from the unit

[ancient grail]

I take them from my unit lol

Who selling a pack of 12 for 150 they're like 5 bucks each

[storm peak]

commissary

[proud hazel]

I dont like how my plate ends on my solar plexus

[pseudo fossil]

Yea it’s why u need a Crye spc

It dogshits on every rig rn

[proud hazel]

What that fuck did i just read

[plush topaz]

Eh

[proud hazel]

Dude i hate people

[plush topaz]

Yo same

[proud hazel]

I dont get how an apple is shitting on an orange

Its not comparable

[plush topaz]

Where's yours

[pseudo fossil]

Oh it is

The Crye spc shits on all other carriers atm

One laser cut piece for plate bags better weight distribution all that

It’s the best simple

[pulsar tusk]

Because you’re paying for the heater

Buy HDRs instead theyre like half the price

10 hdrs is $46 which is 20 meals

[granite tartan]

That’s an L opinion

The SPC is avs cope

It really doesn’t do anything better than a JPC

You can also get a structural cummerbund on a jpc

And why the spc sizing is so fucked blows my mind

[snow scarab]

doesn’t work as well

the thing the AVS, CPC, and SPC all share is that the two plate bags become connected

that’s what the little tab is for

[granite tartan]

There is a big big difference between all those carriers

The spc is literally a sand which plate carrier

Throw in xyz aftermarket shit

It’s crazy cause I’ve owned the CPC, Spc and JPc

[snow scarab]

“owned” the CPC. you sold it immediately. SPC you even said you barely used it.

[snow scarab]

AVS and CPC not so much

SPC has the exact same indexing tab that the CPC and AVS has. just cause you owned something, doesn’t make you all knowledgeable on it. i’ve read the actual shit by crye and outside guys on why the SPC was made

[granite tartan]

Yup

Cope

[snow scarab]

sure bud

[wind cave]

just buy chinesium and upset the person who kills you when you're a bad loot drop

[storm peak]

avs #1

[granite tartan]

No dude I swear man this $270 laminate bag with straps is just like the $700 offering from the same company dude

I SWEAR

[smoky pilot]

Honestly all this shit talk but the condor plate carrier is prolly the best plate carrier money can buy

I’ll take my condor over your gucci princess carriers all day

[snow scarab]

i didn’t say that. at all.

[misty mango]

the spc is what the fcpc wants to be

but the spc isnt horribly overpriced

[pseudo fossil]

That’s what haters say

It’s designed to be the best and it is the best on the market right now

The cumberbund is next level game no one else does

The laser cut molle single piece

[pseudo fossil]

It’s a W fact brother

[flint hemlock]

I got this m40 for free

Clean boye

Need to get new straps and second skin

[stuck hazel]

Lol in what world?

The SPC does fuck all better than anything

It’s a relatively good carrier, definitely not the pinnacle of modern PCs

Pretty sure the SPC doesn’t have any QD to boot like

What’s your argument

[misty mango]

iirc it has e-doff like the jpc 2.0

which is suboptimal

[granite tartan]

@stuck hazel @misty mango it’s got edoff

[stuck hazel]

oh yeah that thing

love it when i need to get my plate carrier off quick and my only option is to decintergrate it

once again the moral of the story is buy an AVS

[misty mango]

funny edoff cable on avs and cpc

(the carrier falls apart)

nothings more classic than the stories of kids pulling the IOTV edoff in the middle east and afghan

[pseudo fossil]

In this world

The spc is the pinnacle of modern plate carriers

[snow scarab]

it does carry weight better if you have it sized right.

[granite tartan]

I SWEAR MAN IT DOES

[snow scarab]

yes, it does

mike, please shut the fuck up about shit you know jack shit about

you even said it yourself you barely used the SPC and wore it once

[granite tartan]

you literally own the SPC i sold you

[granite tartan]

CAUSE I WANTED TO SELL IT

[snow scarab]

yeah, cause YOU disliked it

[granite tartan]

FUCKING REEEEE

cause it doesn't size well to alot of the normal sized population

[snow scarab]

i’ve actually put it to use and done extended range days in it and it’s perfectly fine

[snow scarab]

if you’re an idiot, sure

[granite tartan]

you're also like 6,4

i wore a medium/SMALL and it didnt fit me

[snow scarab]

ok?

[granite tartan]

no matter what

[snow scarab]

cause you didn’t size it right

[granite tartan]

OKay shovl

[snow scarab]

you do realize how much work you’ll have to do with an AVS right?

[granite tartan]

Its a completely different system

[pseudo fossil]

U sold it? Bad move

[snow scarab]

you have to size 3 components of the harness, the cummerbund, and the shoulder pads

[granite tartan]

SPC is still a minimalist carrier

[pseudo fossil]

It’s the best

[snow scarab]

but it comes absolutely gigantic

[granite tartan]

No shit?

[snow scarab]

so it’s fine on the AVS but not the SPC?

weird

[granite tartan]

Its a harness system with a plate bag

[muted gate]

I still dont know the did between the spc and jpc

[snow scarab]

stick to one opinion bud

[pseudo fossil]

The cumberbund truly is next level game

[muted gate]

The look the same

[pseudo fossil]

Nobody else does

[granite tartan]

You're strawmanning

[granite tartan]

Besides everyone replaces it with some aftermarket garbage

[pseudo fossil]

The spc is rugged and amazing the jpc is jpc

[granite tartan]

You havent seen a frayed SPC have you

[snow scarab]

SPC has a structural cummerbund that doesn’t flop as easily as the JPC, it also has the indexing tabs that the AVS and CPC do to connect the whole system vs the JPC just being velcro.

[granite tartan]

[pseudo fossil]

It impossible

[granite tartan]

oh you're trolling

The ferro laminate is inherently more water resistant too

The SPC isnt just some magical plate carrier

[muted gate]

I need to redo my setup again

[granite tartan]

Its a plate bag with straps

[snow scarab]

hey mike, put your JPC together off your body and try to hold it in the air

[muted gate]

I dont have ak mag placards

[snow scarab]

by one plate

[granite tartan]

You realize that literally means nothing right

Its still all the weight on your shoulders

[snow scarab]

wrong

[granite tartan]

I would actually value your opinion if you literally just werent spoon fed garbage

And then repeat it

0 of your own opinions

[snow scarab]

sure bud

it’s not like i have more time wearing the SPC than you do

[granite tartan]

You prolly do

[snow scarab]

and i’ve actually talked to some of the guys who helped develop it

[granite tartan]

I switched to a JPC for a reason

[granite tartan]

Wow so cool!

Sorry sir

[pseudo fossil]

U weren’t patient enough to master the best system

[granite tartan]

Based

ya know

[muted gate]

Atleast have uniqie opinions like me

[granite tartan]

I like this guy

[granite tartan]

Atleast you shoot your stuff

[muted gate]

Like im a web gear shill

[misty mango]

tis why you always size down the harness and bund unless yoyre built like a brick shithouse

[granite tartan]

im honestly, just going to ignore people who dont have night vision at this point

[misty mango]

based?

[muted gate]

And dont run plates on my forest kit

[granite tartan]

actually

if they dont own a supressor

That isnt* a YHM can

and poors

[muted gate]

At gun shop. Ill explain later

[misty mango]

oh no need
i love web gear

[muted gate]

Bren bags are the best

[granite tartan]

@misty mango NO BUY THIS ONE PLATE CARRIER

I SWEAR ITS GAME CHANGING

They all suck

no one wears it

garand thumb had one, wonder where his went

[misty mango]

back to the JPC

[granite tartan]

fucking CRAAAAZY

[pseudo fossil]

Nah he told me his spc is a lot better by a long shot he just doesn’t want to put wear on it cuz it’s new so he wear his already beat up jpc since they fall apart faster he uses for his videos

[granite tartan]

oh yeah true

@misty mango Like SPC owners are annoying because they think that its a substitute for the AVS or CPC when its not nor was it ever designed to be

[misty mango]

almost as bad as FCPC cope

[pseudo fossil]

It isn’t a substitute it’s the superior plate carrier = spc

[granite tartan]

no, FCPC owners know their shit is wack

[misty mango]

FCPC owners have buyers regret

[snow scarab]

he’s used it recently lol

[granite tartan]

he very rarely uses his SPC

atleast in videos

[pseudo fossil]

It’s his good setup he keeps stashed

[granite tartan]

BASED

[snow scarab]

he switches between like 5 different plate carriers bruh. 2 different lv119s and JPCs and the SPC

[granite tartan]

the lv119 and the JPc

like 90% of his stuff is in the JPC

[pseudo fossil]

Do I need to get grand thumb in here to tell you his spc is his favorite and he thinks is the best he just has it stashed and used jpc for vids

[flint hemlock]

I walked up to my friend while we were doing a field exercise and pulled his

[misty mango]

[granite tartan]

Do it

@misty mango me not training in kit

[flint hemlock]

He subsequently pulled mine

[misty mango]

the horrors of changing a baby's diaper

[pulsar tusk]

Pretty sure 2 of these have asbestos and one doesnt even have a filter so ill go with top right, but it looks like it has a terrible seal

[granite tartan]

I use a c50

[pulsar tusk]

I have a cheap one i got on amazon

It has an insane seal

Not a particle of air gets past

I swapped the filter from the default like painting filter to a cbrn

[flint hemlock]

It just needs new straps

[ashen edge]

All these giving you cancer

P sure upper right has chromium

The rest should be self explanatory

[ashen edge]

Have you seen the Chinese tumor mask?

Same pattern with a different filter

[flint hemlock]

I want one for my collection

[ashen edge]

They totally had super cancer in them but same

[flint hemlock]

Nothing a block of foam cant fix

[ashen edge]

I did that with my PBF mask

[flint hemlock]

Also the m40 filter is the one without the chromium, however its flooded with water so its unusable

Looks cool tho

[marsh flint]

Oh, the canuck

[pulsar tusk]

I have a pbf mask with original filters still in bags

[ashen edge]

I used to but then 15 year old me went and put them in

[ashen edge]

I miss remembered I was thinking of the black 60mm filter

[flint hemlock]

M9a1 mask

60mm boye

[stuck hazel]

I mean, justify it

[stuck hazel]

Im of the opinion that’s anecdotal

[snow scarab]

i mean it’s from experience

[granite tartan]

That’s what an anecdote is

[plush topaz]

[muted gate]

are..... are you an idiot

[snow scarab]

slightly

[muted gate]

@granite tartan i never really got why you bullied him so much

but im starting to understand

[granite tartan]

Starting the most dumbass arguments; thinking he knows everything. Then jumping on soap boxes against me

Yeah

[muted gate]

At least my dumbass opinions are my own opinions form from my own damn experience.

My prime example being the survivability onion when it comes to personal protection. Body armor only stops when I'm having a bad day. Not being seen in the first place makes body armor irrelevant. Thus web gear gang

this is only half a meme, if im in the forest and im getting shot at, i have bigger fish

[granite tartan]

Based

[stuck hazel]

Compared to what plate carriers

[snow scarab]

compared to something like a JPC or anything else that doesn’t index

[stuck hazel]

Plenty of PCs index

It’s not a bad carrier by any stretch of the imagination it’s simply not great

[granite tartan]

It indexes with Velcro

@stuck hazel he doesn’t know the indexing tan doesn’t do as much as he thinks it does

[granite tartan]

Who?

[plush topaz]

Vietnam war vet

Homie don’t say that you’ll get banned again

Avaid the law

[granite tartan]

Is that actually you

How fucking old are you

[stuck hazel]

Look having him here is pure gold, don’t jynx it

Nahh he got banned tf

[plush topaz]

Wtf

[oak gazelle]

[thin apex]

Banned within a few hours lol

[sand rover]

again?

[low zodiac]

@plush topaz help harbor freight was practically giving away oversized hi lifts and now I have one bigger than the bed of my truck

[thin apex]

Yeah that kid that made bomb threats last time he got banned Antonov

And he thinks he’s Russian for some reason

[sand rover]

oh I know who they are

I was here when the edit was made

the first time around

I think it's been 3 times now

maybe 4

[thin apex]

Yeah what was that about he was threatening to keel himself or something like we want to hear that

[sand rover]

couple of different things

[thin apex]

I know exactly what kind of person he is I used to go to school with some of them

[sand rover]

lots of cringe posting too

[thin apex]

The fact that he thinks hes Russian says a lot lol

[sand rover]

lol

[low zodiac]

💀

[sand rover]

hex handguard is aesthetic

too bad I'm too lazy to order one

[thin apex]

Got these cool gloves cause why not and they are very hard to shoot in I guess I need to break them in or something?

Not much room in the trigger gaurd

[sand rover]

mechanix makes good gloves

just might want a different pair

[misty mango]

theyre good for the price

[thin apex]

Someone was praising the mpact gloves on here a few days ago so I got them

[misty mango]

they definitely have a rough break in period

oakleys are stupidly overpriced tbf

pigs are a W

not seen the other 2

[thin apex]

I just impulse bought them when I saw them at academy

[misty mango]

outdoor research ironsights are also really good supposedly

[sand rover]

the mechanix originals are better

cheaper too

[thin apex]

I saw garand thumb shooting with arctic gloves once so I thought it would be easy with these maybe just not with a pistol

[sand rover]

they're like 15-20 bucks a pair

[thin apex]

Yeah I was gonna get those but I thought these would be better

They probably are just not for shooting pistols

Too thick

[sand rover]

I have like 4 pairs of the original cus they're plenty good, and cheap enough to almost be disposable

[thin apex]

Yea these were like 35 so not too bad either

I might honestly I’m looking at them rn

How do you know if they’ll fit if you order online

Oh ok

I also heard one time that football gloves were good because the rubber is that true

And they’re thin I guess

Idk

[snow scarab]

yes they do

[ancient grail]

I have to flex

My apologies

Jpc for 70 dolla

[sand rover]

that says 100

[ancient grail]

I got it for 70

BARGAINING AT ITS FINEST

[sand rover]

lucky bastard

[ancient grail]

Ended up giving it to shawty since she wanted it

[sand rover]

lol

I'll stick with my mepc

but it'd be nice to get another carrier cheap for family or something

[plush topaz]

LOL

[low zodiac]

It’s 40lbs bruh

I didn’t know what to do with it so I put it in my room lmao

[plush topaz]

That's longer than your bed?

[low zodiac]

The box didn’t fit, but the jack only might

The bed is exactly 60” long

And so is the jack

It’ll be going on the rack either way I think

Definitely not up top though considering it’s weight

Or maybe it’d be fine, I don’t actually know how the truck responds to weight on the racks

[misty mango]

silver tounged git

[plush topaz]

Mount it

[pseudo fossil]

20$ for ya for it

U cover shipping

and buy me a pouch and send it with

[granite tartan]

Dudes bold for trying to pull stuff with a Tacoma

[plush topaz]

?

[low fox]

Honestly.

I have a taco for my normal drive and i am scares to load up the bed with weight. But ik nothing gon happen so i do it anyways

I tow with f550

Baller tow truck

(Its my work truck)

[stuck hazel]

Imagine not being able to easily source a hilux

Drippiest Toyota

[misty mango]

real

best Toyota

[stuck hazel]

Like three people have them round the corner from me

Murica’ L

[proud hazel]

To bad toyota is bad

[timber fog]

That’s definitely a take

[echo jay]

one of the worst takes this channel has ever seen

[misty mango]

honestly

[proud hazel]

Na they pretty sucky, especially when it comes to their Fandom

Tacoma fans are thw worst

[grand portal]

Thats a fact

[proud hazel]

If you wanna get technical i can

Toyota uses undersized oil pathways in the engine, and use aluminum heads and cast blocks

All of which is a bad idea, they could do way better

As good as they are now, some small changes they could do better

[misty mango]

dont majority of cars use cast blocks lmao

[proud hazel]

And cast heads

[low zodiac]

Every other vehicle on the road has flaws, I’d say that tacomas are very far down on the list of problematic vehicles

[proud hazel]

The issue is heat expansion at different rates

[proud hazel]

Most modern cars do really well

But few match something like a 12 valve cummins

[low zodiac]

They do, but comparing it to its own competitors, it is easily the best in its class for build quality

The frontier is its closest match

[proud hazel]

No nissan is genuine bad

[low zodiac]

For what it’s worth it’s also naturally aspirated, where many other trucks on the road are turbocharged to meet the EPAs regulations yet still retain power

Which is why I really don’t like what they are doing with the 4th gen

[proud hazel]

My biggest issue with toyota is cost tbh

[low zodiac]

Yeah it’s pretty bad, it took a long time to find a good enough deal to take

[proud hazel]

Cheaping out on a cast block and more money then competition lame

[low zodiac]

I think the raw value is there though considering the upgrades some trims have from the factory

The trd offroad comes stock with bilstine 4600s

Not many trucks in their stock form can rival a trd offroad for its price point

You have to get into SUVs for that

[proud hazel]

Jeep

[low zodiac]

I envy bronco owners getting 35s from the factory

[proud hazel]

The gladiator has 35s

[low zodiac]

The gladiator with 35s is also 65k used

[proud hazel]

And what is a trd

[low zodiac]

Mine was 40 with 8300 miles

And a good bit of work done to it aftermarket

[proud hazel]

And?

[low zodiac]

The price difference is significant?

[proud hazel]

Seems how you are wrong yes

That rubicon has air bags, electronic locking diff, elextronic dissconect sway bar hole nine yards

[low zodiac]

Mines got a rear locker and a faux front locker (a-trac)

If I wanted a jeep I’d get a wrangler

The gladiator is just not it

[proud hazel]

Not as good, and i can still raise and lower my airbags

[proud hazel]

Its way worth if you want to offroad

And 35s

Its only 8k mkre then your trd and way better equipped

[low zodiac]

For the price difference I could re gear, lift, and then put 35s on a tacoma

Easily

[proud hazel]

No

Your not going to match it

[low zodiac]

How

8k gets you a really nice setup

[proud hazel]

First off your going to struggle with an electronic swaybar, and second the off road parts of the electronic setup for different terrain is really well done

Lets take this to some one that knows more then me hold on

[low zodiac]

I don’t have crawl control or any other system that depends on the stock setup tho

Manual tacomas don’t have that stuff lol

I get a cool sunglasses holder instead

[proud hazel]

The rubicon is also top of the line luxery so the creature comforts

[grand portal]

Hahaha, reject modern computer systems, return to sunglass holders.
