    Finished building out my homemade Goose Gear platform in the bed until the GFC is on. Basically I left the rails open so I can build on to it. The tire will be moved once I decided what I want to weld up for my tire carrier. But I places Marine Foam everywhere I would be walking, and then used alittle extra to fill in the driver's side. The driverside will be completely tools accessible from the side door of the GFC. I have blueprint that out roughly but awaiting to the camper now. I place Marine Hydro Foam down everywhere id be walking in the camper.

    I agree, and Placing a pistol near the right leg is very risky. Why risk getting shot by the cops.

    I 100% agree, LEOs are gonna be looking for suspicious behavior and reaching over to your glove box will most likely make them think you are reaching for a gun, not putting it back...
    Leave it, and put your hands on top of the wheel after rolling the window down how ever much, and before the officer can say too much, inform him ASAP of your weapon(s)... And follow his instructions!!!

    Welpers, I finally installed my AVS In-Channel Rain Guards (smoke), The hardest part was removing the red backing off the 3M tape, I always have trouble getting those things off... Now I have to wait 72 hours before I can drive with the windows down any, keeping pressure on them, I am hoping they stick, the drivers front forward part wasn't holding very well before rolling up the window... Yes I followed instructions... lol

    I was pulled over once. When the cop came up to the window both hands draped over the side view mirror. “What’s this “ he asked. “ firearm concealed “ I reply.
    “any particular reason you’re carrying?” Me: shopping junkyards in new Britain”.
    Cop: “ can’t say that I blame you.”
    “Have a good day.”
    I used a red hose. Kinda stands out a bit under the wheel well

    Hahaha, I didn't even see your drone on the dash in your post #294119, or the FPV controller next to the shifter... Shows you how long it has been since I've flown anything... :facepalm:

    How did you attach your hose??

    [QUOTE="How did you attach your hose??"[/QUOTE]

    I just used a metal adjustable clamp like below to attach the extension hose with an inside diameter that fit perfectly over the OEM drain hose.

    I didn’t bother to run the hose back to the cat area.

    I just ran the short hose between the flap and the frame with the hose end pointed straight down. Shorter and vertical run takes advantage of gravity for faster drain flow.

    I didn’t carry all the time till the last few years. Have my conceal and was at a traffic stop. State Trooper asked for the usual and when they saw my conceal they asked about the firearm I didn’t have with me. He asked “Why have the conceal if you don’t carry?” I said good point and now I do.

    Not today but coming soon. I have a KDMax Version 9 tune on my truck right now. Obviously getting It upgraded is out of the question so I've been looking into getting an OTT tune. I had a couple things to consider, one being there is not a tuner near me, one does come about an hour and a half away every 2 months or so. And they wanted $500 for the tune, which is fair but I could buy the the device and the files for $790, and then I found a almost $500 laptop from Best Buy for $200 open box, so I just decided to go that way. The extra money isn't going to break me, and it gives me the option of jumping between Tunes without waiting 2 months and driving 3 hours round trip. I know with the KDMax I got the hottest tune the first time, didn't really like it and had to drive back and get a retune, and then being wishy-washy regretted changing. Now I don't have those worries anymore.
