A lot of people get flail chest

No once your carrier is compromised you should replace it. The sheer weight alone will cause any minor damage to escalate quickly.

I got a nice video of flail. I’ll have to find it somewhere. Maybe if the stitching wasn’t up to par. But I haven’t seen anything on it so what do I know

Well that is SOP. If you get damage to your gear you replace the gear. especially salt water.

Won’t let me send the video but there’s a photo in off topic of it

Yeah I have seen it.

It’s a pretty popular video

But yeah I would go with a good set of steel III+ armor for the price. The steel just has so many more pros to it.

III+ looks good on paper. I’m going to look into it a bit more

Well with steel you get limitless shelf life, where as with the others you only get 5 years. The Ar500 steel gets you a lower profile, a full set of four plates combined have a lower profile than just one ceramic/SAPI plate, so you aren't walking around like the marshmallow man. And the III+ are rated up to .30-06 AP, so unless someone is potting at you with a fucking barrett you are pretty much a juggernaut.

Soon...

Botach has a level 4 PE/Ceramic composite plate for $100 per plate. 5.5lbs per plate.

I was just looking at the ar500 site an hour ago. Glad to hear some real world opinions.

Everytime I hear AR500 I keep thinking it's some uber advanced AR15 from the future

I know it's meant to be armor but still

Kinda wanna get one of these for my truck

I had one for my Jeep

It was nice

I feel like it want last very long on my truck though

Wouldnt last very long

i just sleep in my truck bed wrapped up in wool blankets and a sleeping bag. a tarp over top if it is snowing/raining

Get you a woobie and your set

Well I wanna have a recovery rack on my truck bed

I have slept in 10 degree weather on the ground with just my woobie

So this would go over that.

I miss my old Jeep. I’m about to sell my current one and just get a truck again

i love my little chevy colorado
has more leg room than a f150 but getts better gas milage and is only a single cab

I love my truck. I almost bought a jeep but then decided on my truck instead. Couldn't be happier

I get 13mpg right now

Got an 04 wrangler

About to get a 2014 ram 1500

10.6 mpg average. Haha

vroom

i would go out and take a pic of my truck but it is 4 degrees out and blowing snow

I’d take a pic of my Jeep but it’s 700 miles away

I just have random saved up photos for whenever I'm away from my stuff. Haha

Ain’t that fancy
