San Diego BS Thread.

They cut out a lot of my engine cage and coil buckets so they could mount the 10" coil overs and bypasses. They will end up having to re-tie the new upper shock mounts to the engine cage. I love paying for fab work twice.....

 

Sneaking in here... My 3rd 03 Tacoma, Dang lucky to find her and get this one.. Private Seller in Fontana, 79K miles on her, 10G $$$

Flame on!!!! LOL!

I can image that being frustrating. It's a 5"over kit right? I'm going to make a new kit for my truck after a cage. I really want to ditch my lower balljoint for a uniball.

 

It's 4.5" over kit. The lower ball joint was 90% of the reason why I wanted to upgrade from my Total Chaos kit. The extra travel is cool but getting a lower uniball and fabricated spindle was the primary reason for me going with the kit.

 

Not sure if I follow you too well. Think you are looking for a cheap extended shackle. Don't think they get cheaper than that unless used.

 

I'm following your footsteps, but I'm on the fence to rework my kit or just make a whole new kit. Probably going all out.

 

anyone know of a store here in san diego that sells roof top tents? Been checking craigslist but they all seem to be in LA

 

Pelfry sells them, I believe he is a Tepui dealer.

 

Contact @Pelfreybilt i think they sell the cvt brand also (http://www.cascadiatents.com)

 

MadTaco.

was wondering if there was a local forum vendor..

Brian aka beefedtaco
Just some background info he doesn't visit this forum anymore, the feedback from people here is he doesn't communicate well and takes forever to send out product.

But he does respond well to email and local stuff if you go to him. I bought a few things over the last 10 years from him and his products are good quality stuff. And I never personally had any issues dealing with him

I actually purchased my last set of shackles from him a couple years ago.. 1" set..
I had similar issues.. LOL! Good guy though..

Thank you for responding

 

Pelfrey sells tepui tents not cvts

I need an fj cruiser like yesterday. Fj forums were no help. Anyone have one I can use for a day ????

 

Only gripe with CVT and Tepui are they are just so damn expensive. I've found quite a few brands for considerably less than CVT and Tepui. I found a brand new Tuff Stuff RTT in orange county for $1000 flat (

Tuff Stuff Ranger Overland Rooftop Tent with Annex Room

http://www.amazon.com/Tuff-Stuff-Overland-Rooftop-Camping/dp/B00YPYPH0U)

I know CVT and Tepui are the standard but I cant imaging this Tuff Stuff tent being that much worse. Anyone have experience with them?

 

Some guys on the RTT BS thread just bought the Smittybilt one for like $600 out the door. They did a review with pics and stuff. I got mine through a group buy a couple years ago where we bought straight from the factory in China (where Tepui and CVTs are made). You have to get at least 10 other guys, and arrange everything, but there's an awesome write up on how to do it. I can send the link if you're interested. We got the same CVT/Tepui tent, with higher grade canvas, plus the annex for around $600 each. That included shipping.

 

REI does also and if you have your membership you can use the coupon for 20% off right now. They have the Tepui Ayer2 and kukeman sky & ruggedized. I'm thinking about doing the same, but like the group buy idea above.

 

I've got a 20% coupon if anyone needs it.

 

Try to buy as little as possible from them if at all possible, but 20% off is a pretty big deal, unfortunately they support groups that are trying to close off areas to OHV! Just an FYI, not that it will matter but they donate to Eco Nazis, lol..sort of a weird situation, they sell the stuff we use on our rigs yet they contribute to closing areas to us, quite the contradiction.

 

You can buy mine for 4k.
