Hondo Garage's New Thing

So when I put in my deposit and showed up on the leader board I was number 395, now I'm number 397. Not a huge deal, just curious what would cause that. Thoughts?

 

Same here, dropped from 342 to 344. I assumed they added some marketing related builds to the queue ahead of me.

 

Well im number 249 and just got confirmation that we are allowed to transfer our deposit and place in line.

Unfortunately i cant go down this path anymore =[

 

Haha yeah but it’s just business. I think some magazines have made orders too.

I’ve waited on a new iPhone for weeks before while I watch the Youtubers with their free review units.

 

I'm number 198 and got bumped a few spots over the last 6 or so months. Its negligible, I'll have it this spring regardless. Patience my friends....

 

Thanks. I'll have to ask them for measurements to be sure. I have a utility trailer and moto hitch tray too but more haul options is always good. If it fit inside, I'd just roll with the tailgate down and panel up or removed. That's a bummer about the windoor. Seems like they could make it optional and not interfere with the standard design.

 

I’ve been wondering about fitting a pit bike. I think my measurements were based off using a decked drawer system. I think @YOTA 4X4 said it’s 40” from top of decked to ceiling. Decked is 12” tall.

 

On my 1st gen I only have a hair over 36" from bed to underside of rear frame. Inside almost 38" from bed to underside of panels.

 

I’m pretty sure the 40 inch number is from the bottom of the bed to the panels. You would be at 28 inches with the decked system.

 

Not even close. When in the bed, the bike sits almost two feet higher than the cab.

 

I'd think a pit bike would be no problem. Could rotate your bars down too. You could also build a custom single drawer on one side and put the bike on the other side.

 

Possibly a pit bike as long as it doesn't have "adult" size handlebars on it. Unless you rotate them down, like you said.

 

Also wanted to chime in and say experiencing this difficulty in closing the camper with the passenger side. I actually need to climb up on top of the camper and sit on the corner for it to close enough for me to slide the pin thru. Order number for mine was in the 50s somewhere. Interested if anyone has any solutions to get the extrusions to line up properly?

 

I'm number 120 and my build date was slated for 10/29. I JUST went into "In Assembly". At #198 you might want to manage your expectations... I think I'm being realistic to expect I'll see mine in January or February.

 

I'm #130 and was really hoping to be able to pick it up next week while I'm up there. Missed it by "that" much.

 

One of our members had a change in circumstance and needed to sell his spot in line. I bought it so now I have two...

If you are looking at getting a GFC, or would like to move up in line I'm selling spot 397! October Build date.

 

I don’t have issues closing mine any more with all the panels in. I am build twenty something. It has gotten much easier. If a side does not close, there is always a fabric bunch. I just spend the two seconds to push the fabric away from the corner.

I have noticed the locking bars are not centered. See pic, the locking bars are more aft than the holes for them. If they were centered, it would probably close even with a fabric bunch in the corner.

Edit-> typo fix

 

"(113)-One, thirteen GFC's pa-rumpa pum pum . . Are on the leader board pa-rumpa pum pum."

 

Maybe? Didn’t know if it was normal or not. Doesn’t matter too much, closing the GFC is not an issue for me.

The GFC has been great. Perfect for light and fast to weeklong trips for me.

 

Placed my deposit tonight!! Time to wait impatiently for a year...
