NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Thanks! The tire carrier plate and gusset are from 4xinnovation and then i just welded a 7.5" tube to it. Usually would make my own but its only $18 and saves me some measuring so it was worth it.

 

Interested. I do have a rear bumper but it’s a very bulky aluminess. I have the generator swing out and the jerry can swim out but no tire swing. They can fab one up for 300$ but just haven’t went that route since it’s so bulky. I don’t have the swing outs on now but this is what it looks like when I do now and it’s a huge intrusion. Though I will say the storage has been nice camping in the past for fishing gear or otherwise.

Sweet definitely share the link when you do. It would match well with my setup I think. My tail gate is pretty messed up from when I ran the trasharoo behind one of those swing outs in the past lol. I obviously would have to just have either the tail gate swing out Or the aluminess ones but mainly concerned with clearance of canopy plus existing bumper. Maybe I just need to trade the aluminess for high clearance/something more fitting for me use.

 

I may have helped contribute to things being rung up wrong. Pier blocks with a fixed 4x4 mount compared to pier blocks with adjustable height brackets. The adjustable bracket is technically a separate piece, and I may have shoved it into the pier block and been charged for just the pier block with fixed bracket.

They can't get as many people lined up at one of the two non self checkout lines that is open.

I live on an easement and have seen similar, but less extreme measures. If I ever catch someone laying things like that, I'm liable to be going home with blood on my hands.

Everybody is put for themselves. Corporations are out to make a profit at any cost.

I need to stock up on a little more ammo first

 

That is the craziest bumper I have ever seen. I 50% absolutely hate it but 50% fuckin love it.

 

That has pretty much been my feelings since I have installed it hahaha. It’s cool for storage, there’s even a compartment in the bumper itself for stuff, although not much useful fits there. For aesthetics and clearance it’s kind of shit. Guy that I bought it from didn’t like parking with it in Seattle lol. Paid $700 for it off craigslist shortly after I was rear ended.

 

Do the swing outs come off?

 

yep yep I generally run it like this

 

Damn it looks like you could stuff a spare set of tires in the job site locker or at least kidnap a tire repair guy and keep him in there.

 

Yah I guess it’s for a full size generator. Personally I have not found a good use for it so it’s almost never on there.

 

Slap a water heater in there!

 

I need to use my water port more before justifying that lol. Looks like your also running full size tires, how are you mounting your full size spare?

 

Now I want one Taking a shower on the road would be a serious game changer.

 

Woah

 

Awesome for dishes, too!

 

Roof rack? On the canopy? I run a RTT on mine or that's what I'd do, hence why I want a swingout/removable rear bumper, but I also like the idea of having boxes too

 

My spare is under the truck. I'm still running 265/70r16s. I never felt the need for oversized tires. I just wanted the swingout for storage (sadly I'll be losing it with the camper I want). I do plan to step up to 265/75r16, but that should still fit under the truck fine. I need me some E rated tires!

 

I'd bet you could get by with C or D rated just as well. I used to have a 2006 dodge 1500, and if I was still running it, I would have had to replace tires and I was thinking to get D rated for it. That truck was about 6000 lbs for my daily driving

 

I'd be happy with D, but I want to stick with Duratracs, cause i've really liked them. They only have C and E in the size I want. C has the same load rating as the SLs i'm currently running. Would rather step it up a bit since I run heavy all the time, and also tow a lot.

 

I keep thinking you guys are the same people because of your avatars...i was like why is he replying to himself lol.
