NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Think that would fit a GX470?

 

The bags attached at both ends. Daystar has a cradle that attaches to the axle allowing for full droop. I had them with no problems.

 

Did you petition the court of @tcBob for a name change?

 

Cvt vs tuff stuff rtt? Trying to stay around 1200.

 

They are all made in the same factory with minimal differences. How ever if something does go wrong probably easier to get service from CVT. CVT and Tepui do good discounts for TW Members

 

Cvt has a black Friday sale, so with shipping its 1300 for a Mt Shasta.... Or tuff stuff on Amazon is 1175

So 125 bucks... It's close heh

 

Or I spend an entire day and 80 in gas to pick it up in person heh

 

I'd go with CVT. Bobby is a cool dude in person and his service has been really good from what i've heard in the last year or two.

 

I hear good things about cvt.

 

I just wish the awesome colors were not a grand more (and I know there are more upgrades than just the color heh, but still)

 

I did... getting a sticker out of the deal as well.....

 

i enjoy my mt. shasta. Havent really had any complaint on mine that isnt the same ive heard on others.

 

Same complaints with rtt's as a whole or cvt in general?

 

As a whole. Havent had a single issue with my CVT.

Only issues i have had
-Dirty zippers can make it hard to zip
-Cold/frozen zipper can be hard to zip
-condensation on the inside in some weather (but that happens in my regular backpacking tents too)

Only issue specific to CVT....
-The ladder isnt as long as the tepui one (least the style on mine) which means I need to be a bit pickier on where i setup. Not a terrible issue but something to consider. Honestly I havent had a true issue where i couldnt setup the tent or anything

 

Every company i've seen uses the same ladder besides Tepui. The telescoping one that comes on the more expensive CVT's and all Tepui's is worth every penny.. Also look into getting an anti condensation mat @mutilatedjak

 

I've met Bobby when I visited his shop and purchased my tent. Although sometimes overwhelmed when dealing with group buys, he believes in good customer service and does his best.
I have had no issues with my Mt. Hood.

 

I got the Tuff Stuff off Amazon for $1200 shipped to my door and it included the annex room. Compared to my friends cvt they're basically identical. Only major difference is that his annex room is made from the same polycotton rip stop fabric as the tent, where my tuff stuff annex is the same material as the rainfly just a bit thicker. Also believe he had to pay extra for his annex room. His rainfly also wraps down the sides on the entry opposite side of the tent of the ladder, where mine doesn't, I believe its the new style fly the older ones look like the one I have. Build quality on both seem to be the same. Same hardware, mounting brackets, ladder, cover, etc... I have no complaints about the tuff stuff tent.

 

I didn't pay extra for my CVT annex room.

 

You guys with BP-51's and upgraded UCA's. ARB is telling me that I definitely don't need UCA's if I leave the pre-load at the factory setting. They don't run aftermarket UCA's on their '16 Tacoma and 4Runner with the BP-51's. I am going to buy the BP-51's and have the option to get SPC UCA's for $300, should I waste my time with those or buck up to TC? Or just no UCA upgrade at all and see how it is? I'm at a loss lol.

 

Toyota of Tri-Cities managed to dial my suspension in on stock UCA's. My guess is that its close to the limit though. I do intend to install TC UCA's sometime down the road, but it appears that the 'need' may not be there. Prior to the alignment, I had substantial positive camber.
Mule installed my BP-51's with the preset that ARB had set them at.
