S2 Micro Brace Replacement

I have a S2 micro with the PDW collapsible brace. I’d like to replace the brace with a real stock, are there any drop ins out there that use the existing rails and slider?

To clarify I am not looking for an entirely new stock, I’d prefer to just remove the rubber brace and replace it with a solid stock on the existing rails.

Jeep TJ Tires

I’m needing a new set of tires for my TJ. I’ve been running KO2s for the last 9 years and have been completely happy.

Size is 31x10.5R15.

We get about 36” of rain a year and 8” of snow so wet performance is more important than snow and dry the most important. Jeep is predominantly driven on road with very light off road use, I’d be best served with a road focused tire but want to stick with an AT.

Jeep is not technically a DD but gets more road miles put on it than either of our DDs.

I was set on KO3s until I saw the new tyrereviews AT video and started looking at the Outpost NAT. Any thoughts between those two for my use case? Recommendations for anything else I should look at? The little 4.0 isn’t a powerful machine so I am sensitive to tire weight and trying to stay around that 45# range or lighter.

Trivia Stopped in Middle of Episode: Apple

Was listening to this week’s trivia and it ended in the middle of the question about the commentator and gay frogs.

This is the second podcast that has ended in the middle of an episode since the switch to video.

Anyone else have this problem?

Torin 9 Sizing Help

I know they are newer but hopefully I can get some ideas.

I’m planning to order a pair of the Torin 9 to replace my old Torin 7. I have 300-350 miles on the 7s.

My Torin 7 are a 12.5 and have felt great. I have a variety of LPs as well and the last pair a LP9 was 11.5 Wide.

I saw the Torin 9 was running short and recommended sizing up ½.

Should I get a 13 Regular, 13 wide or something else? I saw someone here just posted they are wearing same size as their LPs…

New Program Ideas

Hey guys I am looking for ideas on a new program to try.

I’ve completed 2 cycles of ABF this year, the last one with 24KG finishing in a 30 EMOM. Press days were only 16KG. Between cycles I’ve done some high rep swing days and the last few weeks I have been doing humane burpee. I completed the 10 round version today in just under 10 minutes with a 24kg bell.

I usually do KB MWF with runs on T/TH.

I’m considering doing another round of ABF with shorter rest and bumping to 20KG on press days. I’m also open to new ideas to get something a little fresher.

My largest KB is 24 KG and I am limited to 45 minutes include warmup and cooldown, usually 5 warmup, 30 work and 10 cooldown. This was one reason ABF was so good for me.

Anything else out there I should look at?

LA125 Not Starting No Fuel

The wife was mowing yesterday and said the mower sputtered a little, made a noise and she can’t remember if it died or she turned it off. After that it wouldn’t do anything, not turning over, not clicking, nothing.

I got home from work and it would turn over no problem but wasn’t firing at all. I disconnected the fuel line to the carb and wasn’t getting any gas out of the pump so I figured I had a bad filter or fuel pump. It had ran out of gas last week so assumed some crud got in the filter/pump.

I replaced the filter and pump tonight and am still not getting any gas through the pump. I’m going to replace the vacuum line tomorrow and see if that fixes it.

If the vacuum line doesn’t get me running again what should I look at next?

W7D2 30 EMOM 2x24KG

I finished week 7 day 2 of ABF today with dual 24kg. This cycle has been rough with work and other obligations so missed a few workouts and this might actually be week 8.

I had completed 2x20kg earlier this year, the step up to 24kg was legit. First couple weeks the cleans were moving me around. I’ve had to use a 20KG a couple times since then while the 24kg were in use and it just flies around now.

I’m going to take a couple weeks off and then do another cycle.

24 KG is as big as our gym has and my left arm press is still a little weak so I’m going to do another round with the 24 but may scale the rest back to 45-50 seconds. I’ll hit the 100 press with 2x16kg next week and bump to 20KG next cycle.
