NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I guess time for CVJ but question is for the moderate angled CVs go with the good or best style lol.

 

some really good deals to be had tonight in Seattle, maybe check the HDs there.....

 

Better go quick, mayor DurR just announced a city wide curfew. Because that's gonna work.

 

im in and gotta winch if we need it. fuck thats early im a need some coffee lmao!

 

damn where was that at?

 

Where did you add windoors if you dont mind and damn 1K?

 

ok so who can do a decent CMC and help press new uniballs in to my dirt kings later this summer?

 

i can bring two spares

 

I ordered them from Canopy West in Auburn new. I looked for some used ones but Range Rider is not a real common make of canopy. they were around $380 a piece i think, then it was $15 for new seals and another $60 for new T-handle locks. I would've kept the locks that are on mine now but i wanted a set that were keyed the same as the windoors. I haven't actually done the math exactly but that sounds about right. it came out to around $920 with tax. so basically 1k.

 

Well shit for two new doors i might as well sell this shell and upgrade for that cost fml.....plus aluminum cap instead of fiberglass. looking at alucab and RLD but wish i had better options honestly....

 

when i looked at doing that I was quoted 2.5K for a Range Rider and 3.5K for an ARE. decided it was more worth it to stick with what i got. unless you're going used or are trying to buy a bare bones one, IMO this makes more sense.

 

Currently researching between upgrading to ARE/leer with windoors for around 3200 or Alucab, RLD for 3500+ still not happy with all options and will have to compromise some where.

 

Shoot a PM with your number

 

@Dirk Diggler shoot me your number when you get a chance

 

yeah, i'd say that if you're somewhat happy with the cap you have then just retrofit it. I was able to carpet the interior, buy windoors, new seals, and new locks for about 1k. compared to the price of a new cap, plus the headache of trying to sell mine it was worth it IMO. I would also look into Range Rider. Lifetime warranty of fiberglass, they are very solid, and are cheaper than the other ones. take a look online and then Canopy west will quote prices over the phone. http://www.rangerider.com/

 

Do you run CB or baofeng or GMRS? i usually run channel 4 CB but will change for west coast?

 

baofeng, this’ll be the first time I’ve actually used it. I’m about to fire a text to you and @Dirk Diggler

 

me too still havent got my license yet but need too

 

Man, I got my canopy with windoors for 600. Best bet is to just keep your eye out for one and replace the one you have and then sell it

 

Lol. I may take you up on it. Drinking some tequila now and see how it tempts me for the morning. I would hate to slow anyone down with a handicapped rig lol. I hVe been dying for going up there though. Gas stations 30 minutes from here so I will update before then.
