Hondo Garage's New Thing

Man, I hope they make that GFC trip sooner then that.. i am #16 and in Socal. Was suppose to be this week, but Graeme mentioned the powdercoater's blaster is down. Bummed since I am going to the Sierra's this weekend too.

 

Thanks man! White panels, lighting kit, gunmetal lower frame and asked if it would be possible to have the exterior bars in orange. He said if there are other frames going to powder coat the same day mine goes that are getting painted orange, then it could be possible! Otherwise I’m getting everything gunmetal gray.

Here is a pic of the bars I was hoping to get orange

 

He mentioned that they would be doing a couple trips to Southern California later this month, and possibly into July. So hopefully you will be a part of that first batch that comes out here

 

Keeping my fingers crossed. But im already planning to pitch the tent since my camper shell and hardshell RTT set up is long gone.

 

Man you SoCal Guys (and of course girls) are Overlanding As Fuck lol... there will probably be 1 or 2 of these in the entire state of NY. How’s the job market out there?

 

Can anyone measure the interior fixed panel length (bulkhead towards rear) for a long bed version? I'm curious how much interior overhang there is to store stuff out of the way underneath.

 

I measured the long bed at expo as 23”.

 

Was thinking of making a trip up there this weekend. Hope they can get it sorted out.

 

Ill be camping at Big Pine Campground near Bigpine, off Glacier Lodge road, hiking and fishing around the big pine lakes. Ill keep an eye out for ya.

Leaving Eearly friday- sunday. May drop by alabama hills and drive around there too

 

I'm also in for an Aluminum long bed version.

 

I saw this also but didn't know if that guaranteed a GFC would be there. Would love to see one in person...

 

Subd AF! Im pretty close to ordering the GFC platform after reading through this thread and seeing it in person at Expo West.

Seems like its been since April since anyone mentioned a Prinsu and the GFC platform... has it been determined if a prinsu would have to be removed or modified to provide the recommended 1" of clearance?

 

Ill probably be the first one. I still have my cabrac prinsu on.

 

Your in my back yard. You live up here to PM me

 

Job market is great, but the cost of living is astronomical.

 

When is your platform going to be ready? I hope to order mine by the end of this week

 

Its going to be in the next two weeks hopefully.

 

I doubt the prinsu will work, especially with some kbvoodoo bed rails. It’s around 1.5-1.75” from the roof to the go fast. Prinsu is though making a half rack that will be released later in June.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing, but its pretty easy to remove too.

 

interesting! I was looking at my prinsu and am thinking that cutting the back portion that is under the GFC down a little could be a solution. A buddy mentioned that i could just cut the back portion of it off, but I think i like the idea of cutting the sides in half and removing the back bars...

If Prinsu's half rack is a decent price, that could be an option
