Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I figured it wouldn't be a bolt-on exercise. With the shorter wheelbase and extra interior room, I think it makes for an interesting setup.

 

I think (unless your chopping and welding to change it) the wheel base will be the same since nothing is changing with the frame. You might just get a better exit angle since your bed is shorter

 

If you’re in Reno, and you like to golf, then you must play Lakeridge. It’s kicking my ass, but I’m not a good golfer. Still, nice place. Well maintained.
Me, and my friend, Dave, on the left.

 

Wheelbase on a single cab is shorter. 103.3 vs 121.9 for the DC and XC.

 

Bob the bed / Game over

have you played at yocha dehe? Very nice course next to a casino and winery

 

Had a bit of a situation in Baja, so if anyone has a driver side bedside in nice shape laying around, let me know.

Also, probably gonna have a slightly bent/tweaked Bruteforce dual swing rear bumper for sale at some point in the somewhat near future.
Still trying to figure out insurance shit.

Gotta say though....that fucking bumper did work. +1 for Bruteforce.
And was still one epic fuckin trip.
Here’s a couple pics of @MJonaGS32 and I cruisin around

Edit: not sure when bumper will be up for grabs or for how much. I’ll definitely post up when I do

 

Damn. Looks like @Bentrodder stiffeners saved your ass.

@tacomgee

 

I did get the insurance. And they have been pretty good to work with so far. Just gotta get a couple estimates and go from there

 

you will get paid good.

 

Took about 5 months, but it's finally here.

 

Dang. Looks like they got behind the bumper. Glad you’re able to get home!

Well shit. That van is tall enough to have damaged the camper. That would really suck!

 

Anybody have a 3/4" hole punch for the weatherstripping to install a Prinsu rack?

I remember hearing about the issue with them not always going into park, who would have thought such a serious failure would be caused by just a "loose clip"

At least the windshield wipers don't catch on fire anymore:

So what was in the box?

 

Would a step drill or 3/4" hole saw work?
