Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Anyone now what this spot is up by Herlong? Is it part of the army depot?

What field?

 

Btw in randomness, Tractor Supply is selling Mr Heater heaters for $80 which is 15% off but it ends today. Amazon has them for $78 with delivery expected in 1-2months. Grabbed one for the desert later this month

 

BassPro has similar pricing.

 

That'd be my guess, since there's like a bagillion army vehicles right there

 

So, here's the view from the front porch.



Got to check out the U.S. Field Artillery Museum yesterday.

 

It looks like a used car lot for military vehicles and equipment.

 

Would buy if I could get a HMMV street legal lol

 

Seems like a lot hardware for an army depot. I heard there was a large military surplus sales run by DOD and I thought it was out there. Don't think they're selling M1 tanks to the public. A cursory search reveals the DOD stores equipment that we don't use but still pay billions to contractors to make. Thank you, military-industrial complex.

 

Finishing touches on the axle build for the Opel project today 66 (I think) opel GT body, 85 4runner frame. Motor/tranny pushed back 24". Premier on board power welder. 4 linked. TG rock assault trussed front axle. 18" fox shocks. Full hydro steering. ARB Air locker front and rear. Aisin manual hub lockouts. For reference those are 39.5x13.50x15 Irok super swampers and pic was taken just as tires started to come off the ground

 

Full droop front is 52" from center of top shock bolt to center hub

 

what's his MOS?

 

Just because we aren’t using it now doesn’t mean we won’t use it in the future.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

 

Bad day for this driver at the 580 West on-ramp at Canal, in Richmond.

If you want Peace, prepare for War

RAH!

 

Little help.

A friend just mounted shittybuilt winch on his Cherokee. Per that version it comes with this ugly ass type fairlead.



Are there any fairleads that are a bit less bulky, and a little more attractive, for wire rope?

 

Happy birthday @Rustbucket!

 

Synthetic on this one. But not sure if that matters

 

Wire will work with the fairlead I posted, but it will gouge the fairlead I guess
