geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Glad to hear.

Been trying to figure out a solution to hang or mount something in the rear over the tailgate/fold down table when prepping/cooking etc and also under the RTT overhang. Really excited for it to arrive! Another reason I love TWSS!!

 

Those are pretty slick to.

Motion Sensor Closet Lights, MOSTON 10 LED Cordless Under Cabinet Lighting with Built-in Rechargeable Battery, Stick-on Anywhere Magnetic Night Lamp for Cupboard Cabinet Kitchen Stairs,3 Pack

Rechargeable, motion sensor or on, and the back is magnetic. And they ship with a very thin piece of metal with an adhesive backing. So you can stick that to something, and then magnet the light on and off.

I have mine on the inside of my camper shell window. Throw the light on and it throws a nice light over my swingout.

 

The luminoodle is awesome. I put mine in the across the top of my tent. Well worth the money.

 

What Randy said he made me put one and a battery bank thing in my Amazon list. I thought it was sweet. Although he did comment on my Luci light! Those are pretty sweet too.

 

Those are awesome too!! Might be an additional good purchase so I don't have to move the noodle back and forth. Hoping the LED light setup in the camper shell now will be enough, but if not, these look like a good option.

Started off with a 5 footer with the battery for now since it was on sale. Maybe expand to two 5 footers or a 5 and a 10 in the future. Have to test first and go from there. Looking forward to this though!

 

Randy is causing physical damage to rear bumpers and financial damage too. Sometimes they go hand in hand I guess. He was just being a good ambassador though!!

 

Still need to measure for those bumper bars @EatSleepTacos

 

I use the Black Diamond Moji lanterns. They rock, and are easy to hang on things or move around. Plus I've gone well over a year on the same set of AAAs, granted I only use them for maybe a couple hours over several weekends while out and about.

I really like those too. I know a few guys who have them and love them. I would love to pick up a 3 pack eventually

 

I bought 2 at different times. Makes me feel like a putz, because I was debating getting the 3 pack at the beginning and didn't...now I want a 3rd one.

 

I am kind of a nut over lights, knives, axes, and camping gear. I have wayyy too much but it's cool to have a lot of different gear to test use and hand down or let borrow to others that need it.

 

I'm the same way. You get some odd looks convincing 2 of your friends to come camping with you and all they need to pack is a change of clothes.

 

Yep pretty much. I've got enough gear for 4-5 people it's crazy but I see something new and cool and if I feel it's worth adding to my collection I'll pick it up.

 

Offered to send you new plates man.

I had 10 sets of plates already packaged up, when an order comes in I grab a label and send it. I ripped open all the other boxes and shit is all surface rust everywhere.

 

@geekhouse23 was the one who ordered the plates.

 

Apologies

 

I appreciate your prompt email replies and the offer to replace them. It is not a big deal to me personally as they will just sit until I can get them installed after the holidays. So it would have happened anyways. Again, I appreciate the customer service. It was more making you aware, but it sounds like the issue was due to the humidity/moisture in your shop. I am looking forward to having them installed, however.

 

You're welcome any time down at my place. More than happy to turn you loose for an afternoon on the welder...If I can learn to stick two pieces of metal together, anybody can. No built in heat so I'm going to have to purchase a torpedo heater sooner rather than later to stay functional this winter. Fortunately, I've got no real projects happening except for PM...which feels weird...I'll be bored once the holidays are done.

Are you going to Toys for Tots downtown this year?

 

I did it last year and it was okay. LOT of rigs. I don't quite understand why they go from that lot to the park by the lake, get everyone to park and then leave right when everyone arrives and gets settled. It was all a clusterfuck to me and seemed unorganized.

The wife and I, instead, are doing the toys for tots this Saturday at Chi-town 4x4. Should be less crowded and a good time. There is BYOB (Bring Your Own Breakfast), a raffle and I know more of the people that are attending that event. I do not get scared or intimidated of Jeeps and the DBs that drive them, but at that event, the douchebaggery and the amount of fuckboys at once was almost too much.

 

It's fun just for the spectacle of all the things you listed. They are just meeting at the park this year, some issues with the permits after one of the brodozers was doing burnouts on LSD. I think the warm weather brought more people than usual.

I'll be up in Madison this weekend so I'm out for the Chi-Town meetup.
