NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Let me know if you get stuck, I'll winch you out after work hahahaha

 

Survived and had a great time never got stuck and found about a foot of snow so no big deal. Got a good tree too! it took some hunting!

 

Nice! i was thinking of going with, but i didn't wake up till 11:00... so slight problem. Glad you never got stuck, and you found a tree!

 

Anybody looking for bed drawers? My dad and I made some last summer but now that im selling my cap I need to get rid of them.

No drawer glides but not needed in my opinion. IIRC drawers are 42" long, 15" wide and 8" deep, I can double check them though if anyone is interested. Easy to take in/out, took me about 1.5 minutes to do today. Wood is sealed, outdoor carpet is glued and stapled down. The "wings" on the side pop up and out, take both drawers out, then the "housing" comes out.

 

Shoulda tagged along! We would kept going higher on the mtn. We ended up just walking for a while. Next time!

 

They are booked about a week and a half out FYI

 

@northwesttaco After you ditch the cap what bed rack or setup are you going with?

 

oh hey look, pictures finally. but it's too late, i've built my own.

 

Going to have a friend in SoCal custom make me a bed rack. I want my tent to be the same height as my prinsu rack. Everything I carry camping/wheeling will be in action packers or something like that, easy to tie down and durable

I definitely posted pictures a while ago..

 

What u want for them?

 

Ill PM you

 

Ok

 

Nice, i'm going to be getting a bed rack for sure by the summer time with a RTT mounted to it. After looking over different options it seems having it mounted at a lower level will be better for weight distribution and access. I was thinking maybe a front runner bed rack, not sure though I'm pretty picky when it comes to look and function.

 

As of right now I hit every branch with it, don't want to tear my cover.. Can't wait to have it lower, just hope its still high enough for the annex to be functional if needed.

 

Ive started looking at the Relentless Fab bed bars myself. Not an expensive option either at ~300 bucks powder coated. Which is cheaper than most actual bed racks ive seen.

Im mostly looking at it now for the same reason Northwesttaco is. I want something a bit lower. Id use the bed bars more in the summer for off roading specifically. Then put my canopy back on and have the RTT on top of it for the rainy days and in winter. Its nice keeping stuff dry in the rain/winter time but the canopy is a bit excessive in the summer.

Plus i only bother with the annex in the winter/rain in which case id have the canopy on most of the time (or plan to at least)

 

Exactly, I just don't have a place to store my canopy

 

Have you figured out a magic number at which the base of the RTT needs to be at for the annex to be used? Right now mines too low.

 

Yours is basically at bed rail height isn't it? haha Im hoping a 12" rise off the bed rails will give me just enough.. Im probably going with an 11 or 12" rise, still have to measure once my Prinsu gets here.

 

It's about 4" off the bed rails. I figure I could go at least 6 more inches and the ladder will be just above the cab.

 

I dont either right now. I mean i have physical space but i dont really want to just leave it outside if i can help it. Thats problem 1 before i buy buy bed bars.
