NW WA Meet / BS Thread

500 miles this weekend. Found out I may need to trim more. But it happened on a hill going up. From a stop. With a riding mower in back.

 

I noticed that. If I decide to sell them I'll hit you guys up first before posting.

 

Alright awesome thanks man!

 

Naw im just alright, but i love the sport and being outside! and when you really get a hold of one, thats a great feeling.

 

Nice pics Brian! cant wait to get back to our stomping ground again

 

Haha Im sure youre just being modest. The sport is awesome though! Thats true, that is an awesome feeling. Need to look into upgrading my clubs when I get home before I get back on the course.

@northwesttaco Brian, pictures look awesome! Getting a little flex on those new shocks.
What tent do you have?

 

Tepui autana ruggedized

 

Do you like it? Cheaper than the Shasta or what?

 

I love it! Since it's the ruggedized model it's about $250 more than the Shasta but also comes with a lot more heavier duty stuff compared to the Shasta. Even if you don't get the ruggedized version (highly reccomend it though) Id still go tepui versus cvt.. The anti condensation mat is a heck of a lot better and the customer service through box rocket (I went through him but many other places sell them, he gets you a discount too) is top notch. I can text him at anytime if I have a question.

 

Oh nice dude thats awesome. Definitely going to have to check them out! And the extra 250 im sure is worth it in the end.

 

Yeah it is. I think now they are $350 but you want the anti condensation mat which is an extra $100 but that comes with the ruggedized models. So it ends up not being to much more. Only downside is it adds a ton of weight. Wheeling it still isn't to bad on off camber spots though

 

Oh okay thats good! Looks like an awesome tent though! I was thinking of just running cross bars across the bed so it wouldnt be as high up in the air while wheeling. How much does it weigh?

 

I would have a little arc so that you have more room to put bins or what ever under it, look at the Relentless fab bars those will make it so the top of the tent is even with the roof.

Mine weighs about 180lbs, which most of that weight is the diamond plate base on it. The non ruggedized version weighs about 130lbs.

I was checking those bars out and thinking about making my own if I could too. Oh okay, that diamond plate base it definitely worth it along with everything else that comes with the ruggedized version.

 

Yeah it is really worth it in my opinion, plus a lot of people have upgraded to the black cover instead of the grey one that comes with the non-ruggedized models because its bigger, so between that and the anti condensation mat its not much more money.

 

Yeah doesnt make to much sense to buy the cheaper one then just buy everything to make it the ruggedized one if its only a couple hundred more and you have the money to do it. And you have a lot of room inside the tent?

 

I do, for one its a good size but perfect for 2 plus some clothes/gear on the sides. The mattress is pretty much the width of a queen size bed but longer.

 

Oh thats awesome! Do you always use the annex or no? And is it easy to set up? Probably just leave my dogs in the annex cause doubt theyll make it up the ladder haha.

 

This last trip was actually the first time that I used it and honestly once its up its really nice to have. Once you get the hang of setting it up and grease the zipper (I used a crayon and the wax helped a ton, zipper is really stiff) it only adds on another 5 minutes maybe.. But yeah my dogs will stay down there for sure no way im getting a german shepherd or a lab up the ladder haha actually the first night I had the tent I slept in my living room and my german shepherd crawled in at like 1am and slept in it with me, he loved it
