I usually keep my CCW on my person. I don't have to remember where it is. I don't have to worry about it getting jacked with my truck because let's face it, it can't help you if you don't have it. That is by no means a jab at anyone it's just the way I feel about it. Having a CCW and not carrying it as a CCW is intended to be carried is of the same mentality as public establishments putting a placard for no weapons on their buildings. I can assure you that those signs have never stopped a criminal or saved anybody's life just as your gun won't protect you by itself. Again, don't want anyone to take that as a jab at them, it's just my opinion about the matter and we all know about opinions. With that said I don't want anyone to do something they are not comfortable doing. Okay, rant over.

 

To the OP, as I said above I typically keep my CCW on my person even while driving. Trust me I understand at times this can be very uncomfortable, especially when traveling long distances. I normally carry either a glock 43 or a shield 45 in an appendix inside the waste band holster. This is fine for short quick trips. When I am traveling long distances I have a Crossbreed Supertuck that I wear at about the 3-4 o'clock position. If I absolutely just cannot stand to have it on me I will take the gun and holster and just stick it in the cup holder so it can still be accessible quickly. This doesn't happen very often but it seems to work for me.

So where do you keep yours then? That is, after all, the point of the thread.

 

 

 

On my hip, that's the point of a holster. I also keep some spray in the same pocket I keep my keys....

Where do you stash it when you go into federal buildings and other restricted areas?

No offense but I don't think the storage of your CCW when entering federal, state, or other restricted buildings is the point of this thread. All law abiding citizens, whether concealed permit holders or not, know you can't carry in those areas anyway. And I would surely hope that no one leaves there firearm in a quick draw holster mounted on their center console in plain view when they exit their vehicle.

I know you don't want to drill holes, but I have an AlienGear Cloak Dock and mounted it under the steering wheel. I made sure to put it on the one plastic panel (took it off to mount it) so that I can easily replace that panel if I ever need to.

 

I never leave my gun in that location - If I'm carrying, it's on my hip. However, when I'm driving it is much more comfortable to place into the holster mounted in the cloak dock.

Not to sound like a d*ck but I just don't get the point of leaving a gun in plain sight of anyone, including the passengers in my own vehicle. If your setup is too uncomfortable to drive with that it requires you constantly moving it back and forth from your hip to a holster mounted in the vehicle you should probably consider different kit or a different firearm.

That's fine, you don't have to get it. What works for me may not work for you and what works for you may not work for me.

 

I don't always use this mount, especially if my passengers don't know I CCW (unlikely if they are riding with me). It also isn't in plain site, but mostly hidden (it's under and to the right of the steering column). It works for me.

Just ran across this on the book of faces but it looks like this may be a viable options for those that don't want to drill holes in their consoles and still want accessibility of their firearm. Link below to a video:

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
