Takoytoys build

Not much going on in my thread. I have cruised through yours occasionally all sneaky like. I haven’t been in the Lair for a long time. I hope your staying warm up there

 

I would still have to catch up lol its not me being that far behind haha My thread is also pretty slow, but sometime, a thing happen haha as for the Lair, its a damn BS mess haha you won't learn much, but you'll laugh haha and talking of staying warm... -9 this morning, feels like -31 with wind chill.... been like that for the last week or so. should be better by wednesday. Can't wait, i'm tired of this cold!

 

I don’t k ow how you guys do it. 14 here right now and I have no desire to go outside

 

Man I haven't updated in awhile. Been busy wheeling, unbuilding and rebuilding. Photo dump incoming.

 

Looking great my friend

 

Thanks bud. Things look busy at your shop. If you ever slow down I wanna talk to you about some 63s a shock relocate and some bump stop extensions. I may come visit for a few days to the smoky mountain trail ride event thing.

 

I finally pulled off my wet okoles and installed the coverkings. All I can say is wet okole makes a much better seat cover. The storage on these coverkings is insane so it's worth the poor fit as long as they never rip.


Got my battery squared away and skids back on so I'm ready to roll to sleepy creek tomorrow!! I bailed on rewiring my solar. I'm going to save that for nicer weather.

 

I like the highlander kryptec camo pattern. My BROG seat backs is what I use for storage. I found some other seat covers via a Jeep video. They look better than wet okole or cover kings. But don't have very much selection as far as colors and stuff go.

 

Midway had all those molle mag holders on sale for 1$ a piece last year. I knew I would use them 1 day

 

I usually pick them up at gun shows and such.

Here are those seat covers I was talking about.

Those are nice!

 

You been doing anything to the trailer yet? I pulled mine out and parked it in front of the garage this evening if the weather is nice i may start fitting the matching wheels on Sunday I have a feeling the will have to be some adjustments made to get this to work. Only other thing I have planned for it is boxing part of the frame. Then just camp every chance I get!

 

I finally got the hitch figured out. I got this off Amazon.

$170 CURT 45799 Adjustable Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, Fits 2" Receiver, 5-3/4" Drop, 1-7/8, 2, 2-5/16" Balls, 10000 lbs , Black

I had to cut about 1/2 inch off the lock n roll receiver for it to fit. I replaced all those pins with beefy grade 8 bolts and washers. Should be rock solid. The trailer is ready to roll. I need a weekend of moderately decent weather and I'm going camping! I dont mind the cold but rain and cold is no fun. Seems we live in a not so tropical rain forest these days. I need to get my old optima battery in the trailer and wire up a few lights for the interior and tent. I haven't given much thought to it yet as it's a luxury not necessity. I've fallen behind on the homefront as well. My oaks and apple trees need trimmed before spring. Garage is a absolute mess. I have about 15 gallons of oil I need to get to a recycle center. I did get my taxes finished up today so more money for RCLT fund! Prioritys ya know

 

Yep when you own a house there is always work and it always seems to get in the way of playing. The hitch is interesting L nR has one that drops up to 8" I'm going to have to figure all that out but what you posted is very interesting.

 

I started a savings account for the RCLT as well!!! I am probably going to go full retard and get the +2.75 HD kit.

 

If your getting in that pool may as well dive in the deep end!!

 

I have it on its lowest setting. I may have to move it up a little but I haven't measured yet.

 

I'm thinking I need to wait until I get the rear suspension in, The rear bumper and spare on the back, and the bigger wheels and tires on the camper first. Then maybe park on level ground and see what i need. Those damn hitches aren't cheap. I'm hoping my 4" drop will still be enough

 

That's what you are looking at doing as well?
