Whoa, my first ever TW meet. Memories...

 

I don't remember giving you any so I'm going to say I was set up. What did it say?

lolz... I don't even remember meeting you there. I was badly hung over for that one

 

Alright I'll bring my extra PFD for ya

 

It was in reference to my no invite comment this past weekend. "take a HINT already you DB"
Must have been that crusty old guy Scott.

I don't know that I really met you at that meet. Remember you showing people your broke ass tire gate though, about time you got that fixed.

 

yea that was captain crusty bunt not me.

tiregate is still in A OK condition.

Maybe one day Ill throw int he other 3 bolt from the added gussets my buddy welded on so it's locked in good

 

FUCK YAKIMA. How the hell does a 3/4" long object fit into a 1/4" deep hole. FUCKING MORONS!

 

with 1/2" left over

 

I have two 3/8" holes in my roof now that I'm pretty sure aren't going to work, FUCK YOU YAKIMA.

 

Josh is a certified Yakima installer

 

alright looking good for this weekend.. I've got 2 friends that say they want to go camping and kayaking, so looks like we'll be there. I'm really hoping it works out since I feel like I've missed every meet since the spring bc meet.

Unfortunately, all 3 of us will be in kayaks, so I'll be bringing my parents' 2 14 ft Perception Carolina's for my friends, and I'm trying to decide what I want to paddle. I have a 17 ft touring kayak or a 9 ft surfing sit on top kayak... looks like I'll take the sit on top

 

bring it to the meet and i'll install it

I'm a Thule "Rack-it scientist" but yea i've done yakima training too

 

I'm going to start ripping apart the interior now so I can pull the headliner since this isn't going to work. Good thing I'm off work tomorrow.

 

they dont have any no drilling required ones for your truck?

 

No, the way the windows are on the extra cab there's no way to hook on. You could use ones that mount on the front doors and then piggy back a second bar off of that, but that seemed pretty shady and it was expensive when I only need the rear bar.

I got enough opened up to get an idea of what's going on and I think I just need to drill baby drill.

 

Now I'm fucking bleeding, drill just kicked and hit me in the forehead. FML

 

Headliner is down, I can get underneath the holes from inside thank god. All four holes are drilled and touched up now. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can bolt this bitch on and be done, aside from re-assembling my interior...

 

way too much work for a roof rack

 

Agreed, if I had know it would come to this I would have stuck with using the piece of foam on the roof. Oh well, no going back now.
