I did the Armorlite also. Not easy but still in my opinion the single best mod so far for me. You did impressive work with the kilmat! I should have taken the time to do that also but to the point of your post, there is no friggin’ way I’m going to reverse that procedure and remove the...
Full disclosure: I have my share of scrapes, rust, and dirty areas under there (pics attached for reference) and total respect for your ability to off-road way more than I can in this area. To clarify, I was using your pics to call out the immaculate way he maintains his, not bash yours. I am...
Hey Kelvin, I have the Bak X4s and that works best for my use case, which is mostly camping gear. I like the hard roll up because it does offer more lockable protection than a soft roll up. I also echo what others have mentioned about the retractable cover - I have concerns about off-road muck...
On the news today they keep rattling on about a 4.8 magnitude earthquake that was about 30 miles from me this morning. our house shook a little and there was some rumbling, which I thought was from the earthquake. But I just saw these pics and now suspect that all that shaking on the East...
Awesome pics and download of your experience with different choices John, and pretty cool to spot myself in one of the pics! Glad to see all is going well.
Randy, are you happy you went with the medium height rack? I want to do the same but I suffer from ‘analysis paralysis’ when it comes to such expensive purchases. I don’t think I want the tent much higher than the roof line, and sometimes think just above the bed rails would be better, but I...
I originally had the older version but earlier this year they were offering a free upgrade to this new style so I took advantage of that. These new ones are brighter and a better beam pattern than the previous model.
I have these BD lights and like them very much. I have the passenger side pointed slightly towards the shoulder but the drivers side is right where it should be so it does not interfere with oncoming traffic. I like the sharp cut off for that reason and they work great in fog or just for...
It would have been a lousy night to sleep in a tent, then a week of trying to clean and dry everythin. That’s a bummer and so is the big tree whack on your cover. looking at your build it was a good call to leave the awning off!
Hey Jeff, there were some areas on Fern Ridge that were tight (cost me a marker light on my left front fender) but if I remember correctly there were different lines you could take in most of those areas. I think you are fine with the tent but may take some scratches on the awning depending on...
Don’t let these guys slow your roll with the bullying Sam. Heck, if this wasn’t a current topic again I would never have known about the flux capacitor with the usb chargers Russ posted, so something positive has already come out of this effort.
I have something similar to what @ShadowsPapa shows here. I prefer being able to move the rings along the track rather than static locations in the corner.
She was probably 100% right about no bull riding Mike. We have some rodeo champions in the family and stories of bull riding do not make it sound like a great idea. Of course, there was this one time in the Philipines where a few pitchers of Mojo and a mechanical bull were involved, but that’s...
I like the idea of the padded bed rug if you are doing the cap. Way better on your knees if nothing else. That HA actually has some really nice things added! I had not looked at the window sticker earlier. Best of luck with it if you go for it!
