Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I was just realizing the International Sportsman Expo is in SAC this weekend-I guess it's not coming back to San Mateo. And then there's Hollister too.

 

Anyone have a M&P 40 Shield? I've been looking into getting a compact lately and after holding one of those I'm in love lol. Just curious if anyone had one and how they like it

 

I don't have a shield but have the 9c. Absolutely love it, if I was going to get another full size handgun that would be it.

 

Really?! You might have to go shoot some pics for me.lol

Hercules/Pinole area

 

I occasionally go up there to visit a friend but I haven't in awhile. You have any friends coming down this way?

 

Got my retrofits installed after 2 long days and many bumps along the way. Special thanks to Nightstr for all the help! More pics with light tomorrow

 

Kelvin, I'll take the LCA skids if Jay doesn't

 

Is it done yet? haha. Im hoping they know what they are doing when they remove the winch, offroad lights, and plate bumpers. They said they could handle it.

 

I have the 40 shield, I do like it a lot although if I could do it again I would get the 9mm. I have a glock 27 also and the .40 is much easier to control in that platform, the shield feels nearly half as thick as the glock. If you intend to carry I would seriously consider the 9mm. If not get the 40 like I did because bigger is always better haha

 

How hard would it be to replace my stock tank with a slightly larger one thatll increase my range?

My commute is 120 miles a day and i have to fill my tank every 2 days.

I dont want to get another car right now for just commuting

 

I've seen it done. It's kind of a pain.

You can add a second tank, or replace the tank with a custom larger one. Those are spendy, though.

Either way, you need to relocate your spare, as the larger tank uses space that the spare currently occupies.

Probably the easiest solution is just to get used to buying gas more often.

 

There was a guy in Nipomo that I just got an ARB off of and he was removing a 30 gal tank that fits in the bed. It is an auxiliary tank and feeds into the main tank by a switch I believe. If you're interested I can give you his number.

 

Speaking of which, you got that mounted up yet??

 

Nope, I got down there and the guy mentions the mounts were cut...would have been nice to know that before. I would have offered less, but only had large bills, so I bought it anyways. I looked into new mounts but they are $200 and 6-8 weeks out. A friend is going to help with welding some new brackets and just welding it onto the frame. Should have it on next week if all goes well.

It's beat up, but I was going to cut it up anyways as I hate the hoops and trim the lower portion for better angles.

 

sick dude!

 

Looks nice Jay!

 

If anyone knows someone looking for a cheap running car my grandpa is getting rid of 2 cars for 1500 each. 97 Sebring convertible with 126k, paint is rough but runs great. Taurus same deal, paint isn't the best but runs great and interior is nice.
