1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

i'm not saying that the entitlement mentality is exclusive to SXS because I've run into jeep and tacoma owners who are the same way... but it seems to be proportionately worse with SXS owners driving wherever they want off trail and generally pulling more shit and being less courteous on the trails.

I haven't seen a street legal rig roll on the trails around here in person. At least 1x a year I've encountered a rolled SXS because they were fucking around and going off trail, going too fast, etc

 

last summer we were behind a SXS group on a trail. I was stopping every 15 minutes to pick up their empty beer cans that were chucked on the trail

 

I get that hiking around here too. I found a empty beer bottle in a bag first, and then proceeded to fill it to capacity with other crap just walking back to the car. Makes me wonder what these peoples houses look like inside.

 

lol, it's bad around the denver area. I always bring a trash bag with me when I hike or wheel.

 

Yeah I do the same thing kayaking. I've already found 2 5 gallon buckets, a tarp, a couple of bobbers. There's a baby doll head out there too I'm going to get next time, but its in a good spot for a creepy picture so I'm doing that first

 

do you get to kayak much?

 

I've had it a month and am averaging once a week so far. Weather has been weird, and I've got some other stuff going on in addition to work so I don't always get out. But I joined a local paddling club last week and they're pretty active, so I expect I'll get a bunch in this summer.

 

Last year when I was up on the mountain doing a snow run with some other TW guys, we finish the trail right where it dumps out on the side of the highway. Some family gathering was happening in another turnout area and they were all getting in their van.
After they drove off, they left behind 2 enormous trash bags full of garbage that immediately started blowing around in the wind. So fucking lame. Me and another guy filled our trasharoos up with their nasty shit.

The desert out here is even worse, people treat it like a public dumping zone

 

You'd think after a lifetime of burning the shit out of my mouth eating a hot slice of pizza, I'd learn not to do it repeatedly

'surely it's cooled down enough in the 5 seconds since I last tried'

nope

 

~45 seconds seems to make somewhat of a difference

Anyone else can chime in as well.

6.5 grendel or 6.5 creedmore. I’m pretty set on the grendel due to it being interchangeable but I’d like to hear your opinions as well.

 

I thought you are selling the 4runner.

 

speaking about SXS, noise, and disrespectful people... https://utahpla.com/moab-proposed-noise-ordinance-can-get-you-6-months-free-lodging

the proposed volume limit would be exceeded by a lot of stock vehicles, even

 

Maybe you're a hipster, biting into things before they're cool and all.

 

Grendel is more often found in gas guns.

An obscure round that serves no real purpose that can't be handled by say a 2.23/5.56 or .308.

It costs more than .223, and doesn't have the same effective range.

6.5 creedmore is a stupidly flat shooter; if you're learning mid-range I suggest. 308 as you learn to adjust for wind and better utilize hold overs between short and mid-ranges. However, if you go straight to 6.5cm, it's much more forgiving.

The downfall with 6.5cm is the velocity; it's a real barrel burner and costs a premium.

Reload your own regardless of the round you choose.

 

Not just Denver anymore. It's the entire state of Calirado.

 

6.5 PRC is worth consideration, too, if availability of ammo isn't concern.

 

You want to buy it?

I turned down an offer recently because I wasn't ready to sell it and needed to come back down to Fresno.

 

It is getting bad along the front range and a lot of the high country


I was pleasantly surprised last month when I hiked west slope and saw zero trash on the trail. OHV area north of GJ is treated like a public landfill, though... as long as I can remember people drive out there to dump trash

 

@alee891 how is the tundra coming along?
