Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

It’s not bad, but I ain’t a sharpshooting cowboy, that’s forsure. Lol. I don’t have my permit anymore either (had to turn it in when I moved to the Bay Area a couple of years ago) and now rarely shoot. I need to get out and start plinking more. I think I’m araid to blow through my ammo and won’t be able to find anything decent to replenish with all this craziness happening in the world.

 

For drawing from the concealed position you can do that at home without ammo. What caliber is your pistola?

 

I used to do that often when I had my license. After I turned it in I kinda stopped all of it. Primary caliber is 9mm. Small SW M&P shield. In the woods I carried my glock 22 in .40. Much more bulky carrying the glock, but the power made up for it (to me).

 

I think it’s doable with SPC but you might be cutting it close to the frame when at full lock. Obviously trimming is needed in the fender well but I believe you will clear the UCA’s.

 

These pictures are amazing.

I’m currently running scs w/ 3.5 bs and a 1.25 spacer. Still get minor frame rub at full lock and leaning into turns a better alignment could probably fix that though. Firewall is tubbed 3-4inches into the cab also.

 

Have them swap a new one in? Take the old one, reboot it and keep it as a trail spare.

 

Soom of those lightening pictures look like they were taken from my house. That's what I was seeing. Freakin amazing.

 

Welp, yesterdays air quality got down to mid 50's. was hoping for a trend. No luck. Bummer. 167 in my hood.

 

I was backpacking on the PCT north of Sonora pass.
Totally missed it.
Not sure if that’s good or bad.

 

The good part is you got to hike there before the smoke started spoiling the view. Even up there. Same for me. Came home from the eastern Sierras on the 12th. All this shit came down on my birthday, Sunday the 16th.

 

Yup, got my hike just in time.
Happy belated Birthday!

 

..... so you have 2.25" bs and still rub?! @mrbeggins build has 3 3/8" bs (4 5/8 wheel - 1 1/4 spacer) @Fernando build says he was 3.5 with 1" for 2.5" bs then 4" and idk what spacing, @cynicalrider seems to be running 4.5 with 1.25 so 3.25 bs, @jubei has 3.5 with 1" for 2.5" bs. The numbers seem all over. I mean thats an inch difference. And I wanna have little to no poke. I really like how you and Jubie set up the trim, imma copy that.

 

I rub alot on the frame. Doesnt bother me. I have a nice polished frame

 

I pulled my spacers, so I’m back to 3.5 on a 8” wide rim.

I do think that each truck’s individual alignment has to account for some of the differences in rubbing as well as the degree of cutting during the tub job.

 

Mind you im 15x10

 

I know the feeling with not wanting any tire poke. Although when you step up to 35's I think you just have to make that trade-off. And like everyone else said, every truck is different so ymmv

 

Uh Oh, they are dropping like flies!

 

for anyone using purpleair, here’s an important thing to do to get an accurate rating. Read the article for explanation. This is from peers who are experts in the air quality field:
“
Even better than AirNow. More frequently-updated, localized air quality data, PurpleAir reports the AQI at much finer temporal and spatial scales than AirNow.gov. However, it is important to note that PurpleAir tends to overestimate the AQI unless you select the "LRAPA" filter (it defaults to "None") so be sure to turn that on that when you search for your area. Stay safe everyone!
