NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Need a hand with an install? I like watching people sawzall the shit out of their trucks.

 

Heck yeah! It's a bit of a ways off though, waiting for my Prinsu and sliders to show up, and finish my bed rack so I can powder coat everything at once.

Although it's been here for an hour and I'm already about to say fuck waiting

 

I've got a spot to do it, and an engine hoist and jack. Makes it pretty easy on the back.

 

Be very careful if you use Jim's garage. It has a tendency to eat swaybars.

 

That and the last 2 feet of exhaust pipe.

 

I think at the price for these refurb ones the 2 lens bundles are cheaper than I have found the D3400 with only 1 lens. I borrowed Ashley's mom's Canon T1 last summer and have been playing with it a bit since but she wants it back soon and I want something a little newer and upgraded so I will probably roll the dice on the refurb one when I am ready to buy. I can totally understand for the higher end professional stuff wanting a warranty but for an entry level setup I think it might be worth the gamble.

 

Why not just paint it with Hammerite instead of getting it powdercoated? It will save you a couple hundred bucks and it's easier to touch up.

 

It all scratches/rubs off on rocks anyways. Black primer ftw.

 

I've got mine sitting in the garage getting ready to prep for Rustoleum bedliner and then a coat of flat black over the top. The bedliner by itself likes to hold on to the dust even when you wash it.

 

Nice! Relentless by the look of it?

 

Brute Force Fab, took me forever to get them but I really like the way they look.

 

Love the bedside protection on the high clearance rear - looks stout and well supported! Look forward to pics mounted

 

That was really the selling point for me, I wanted the Pelfreybilt rear but I like the side protection and I didn't like the fact that they would only do cutouts for Baja Designs lights on the Pelfrey now.

 

I really wanted those, but I didn't want to wait for flippin ever. And we've got a metal shop at work so I figured it'd be pretty easy to talk a metalbro into adding the side hoops.

 

Yeah, it was 19 weeks from order to the day they made it to Fastenal for pickup so it was a bit more than the 10-12 weeks I was originally quoted but at this point I am ok with it because I have been so busy with other stuff I probably wouldn't be much further along with getting them painted and installed than I am now.

 

Love Big Sky. US-191 is a nice drive too.

I always enjoy seeing people who want good pictures so they jump right to a DSLR and then only use the auto feature and expect it to magically make pictures great. Actually learn the features, modes, and basic photography and youll get way better pictures even on a point and shoot.

I still tend to use my P&S more than my (still basic) cannon t5i. But most of it just cause what im taking a picture of i dont overly care on picture quality or Im out hiking and dont want to lug the big camera around

 

Love the shepherd!

 

Really they do? Thats too bad.

 

Thanks! That was the best dog I've ever had, ill definitely be getting my own once I buy a house. Also the only german shepherd i've ever seen that goes duck hunting lol

 

Yeah, I asked on one of their threads a while back if they could still do the Rigid cutouts and Satin said that they only do them for Baja Designs now
