Keystone State Thread

I'd rather know who I'm buying from, and am willing to pay more for a better American made product.. Before when I only worked part time I went the cheepest route. Payed at cost, and thus payed the price.

 

Thats why I turned to the forums, I wasn't happy with things the way they where going, and was nudged to check this place out by someone who is now a good friend.

I ask a ton of questions, and feel bad half the time because I don't understand, or have asked a question that has been answered 15 times.
Next mod I'm going to plan out and save up before going at it, I want to do this on my own as much as possible, though am absolutely willing and requesting some "coaching" if you will

 

What might that be?

 

The Mod? Cap, with a raised floor, two pull out drawers, one must be a locking one, equivalent to a safe, two access panels in the floor to get to the rear storage and house adapter, which would leave an open space behind the wheels (against the cab) which I haven't decided how to use, except perhaps as storage for everything I keep in my tool box currently. The plan is to be able to camp out of the back of the truck.

Not sure if I want to put a roof rack on the tops, got the idea from a pinterest post as well as a pic on instagram.

I'd also like to get a Pelfrey built front bumper put on but am undecided on steel or aluminum as I have to compensate for the extra weight of the steel one.

Those are the two big ones I want to knock out next year, there are some smaller ones I can probably do this year but if not they will get pushed off for paychecks with OT on them.

 

Got my Leer with a 3"-4" higher build and a Thule rack!

 

I want the one that is even with the cap, that's about all I am certain on. As far as the windows and blah blah blah stuff... I have no clue what I want yet

 

Sweet!! I'm game, let me see if I can find the link that inspired this idea

Now Ive seen a few different variations, water tank, extra batteries for accessories, storage space, generator.

 

Then there are these drawers....


So many choices

 

DON'T DO IT!!! YA MIGHT HURT THE CAP!!!
i wanna see these milsurp things, I've got a full bls trauma bag that need to throw in one drawer, pus camping gear, the second drawer will be lockable for my hunting gear/guns/bow..

 

I carried my full size truck 8ft fiberglass cap 100 ft on my back!

 

Interesting.. I haven't gone camping in uh. yea. two years. I'm trying to cut down on what I need, essentially replacing my tent with a hamock tent that takes up less room, lighter pack ect.

Those are def bigger then the large cannon can I acquired, I have to get to the army navy store, there are some odds and ends I want to get for the truck. Once I order another molle panel for the passenger seat

 

.... I'm only 5ft 4 that wouldn't work at all

 

An old 47 6'4" 275 lbs

 

LMFAO

 

I've got all my tags for everything almost, however most of the seasons I've missed because of squad hours. For deer, up near Nockamixon, bow, 12g I'd like to get into small game stuff. Sunday I'm taking the bow and 30-30 to NC for a 4 day hog and deer hunt.

Grew up shooting riffle and traditional bow, still getting use to shotgun shooting and movements

 

Those shouldn't be hard to put together, I've had similar ideas, but like having a removable cover, not a cap, too much.

 

Is there any rifle hunting in eastern PA? I just moved.up from VA, where its almost all rifle.

 

Don't even want to think about a trailer I'll end up needed a bigger truck to pull it, and putting the Tacoma in the trailer....

 

I've had my hunting lisence for 9 years, last season was the first time I finally got out. Never been up to there. That's half my problem, I've got Sundays and mondays off, doesn't leave much time to get out. While I'd like to get more bow time in, could really care less as long as the fridge is full
