Offroad toy?

Niiiice... beautiful scenery

Looks like a lot of fun. Did the dark blue suburban break something on the front axle. Looks like the tire is wedged against the fender and oil on the ground under the front end.

I surely miss my old 72 blazer like that orange one in the pictures

Ah the beauty of lifetime registration haha.

The suburban had some tire rubbing issues but rolling on 41"s can't say it's a surprise. Hell my 33x12.5"s rub when flexed out haha. Some of the vehicles throughout the event had issues. 3 roll overs, a cracked frame, broken axle shafts, cracked tcase, etc. My list of damage was:
broken speedo cable
broke the exhaust hanger off the frame
broken hitch pin

Receiver hitch saved the fuel tank, bumper, and rear body so many times with the steep drop offs when coming down from Top of the World. Hit it a few times on Flat Iron Mesa just not as much.

YUP, motorcicles, and trailer plates is mandatory permanent, all cars/trucks are eligible soon as they hit the ten year old mark.
Sounds like a real fun time. Be nice if the gubnment would open a few trails like that in this area. Heaven forbid, well, guess Heaven has nuttin tooodooo with it. LOL

Ah the rain aint so bad unless at a stop and it's angled to come in from the back haha. But last week the mountains got their first snow and plenty more storms in the forecast coming up

Model 92 Beretta. 9mm, couldn't knock a 90 year old lady down if you hit her center of body mass. Overly complicated to tear down (I could field strip my 1911A1 in under 10 seconds) and just felt fragile in your hand compared to the venerable and indestructible .45 auto. But, all in the name of NATO ammunition compatibility and uniformity. THEY all should have adopted the .45 ACP round and Model 1911A1!

YEP! Its a registered tax exempt can......makes less noise than an ole red rider BB gun..........

Your silencer is bigger than your pistol! How does that affect the balance? Muzzle-heavy?

No problem at all it stays flat when firing full load 230 grn. triple seal ball, it has a Petersen device incorporated to cycle the action and a twist setting for single shot no cycle fire so no ejection of spent shell casing for those quiet moments and a setting for normal fire.

 

[Husker6.5]

That single shot no cycle would also be useful in leaving behind no forensic evidence, such as a spent shell casing, at the scene. . .

Yep and that mode is quietest.......just a simple 1/4 twist of the can in either direction puts it back into cycling mode, "I call it the melon thump-er."

There was talks about de-regulating them but now that appears to a dead issue..............

Woohoo no more exhaust leaking into the cab. Replaced the mufflers and rotten exhaust tubing today. Nothing fancy, still the factory dual 2 1/4" tubing with a set of summit racing mufflers. Exhaust is still quieter than the engine clatter but has a mild rumble to it now.

Damnit. Been over a decade since I've been hit so guess I was due.

That sucks, I bet you were ticked off.

One question was the driver a tree hugger or maybe a liberal?
