DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Hopefully it went to tummies and not ERCOTs failures

 

I pulled many proteins for the week and they were consumed. I’m bummed about those that didn’t have the opportunity to prepare or know-how to make it happen.

 

Bologna smoked over car tires, and other recipes from Snowpocalypse 2021

 

I’d figure it out, just hoping others don’t think tires are a good flavor.

 

A traditionalist might suggest you use a Goodyear or a Firestone, but I find the Dunlops to offer the best smoky flavor.

 

Falkens are how it's done in these days

 

Aaaaand we’re back to tire talk... it’s circular, really.... Please don’t report me....

 

Rise n shine, its gona be warm today

 

Good Morning Fellas

 

When my mom's freezer failed she threw all that shit under my softopper for the week. It did pretty well. Aside from the fact you had to wander into the garage and open the tailgate if you wanted an ice cream.

 

Opinion time: If I were to put a roof rack on my truck and wanted to protect the roof panel from stuff on the rack and abrasion from the rack itself, would vinyl wrap be sufficient or should I have the roof panel covered in like xpel or 3m rockblocker?

 

I'm a cheap and easy ass. Put a solid tray in the rack instead.

Edit: the rack itself shouldn't abrade if it's installed correctly.

 

I think @hoarder23 used some vinyl on his roof.

Really, the rack shouldn't cause any damage to the roof, but will make it harder to clean.

 

All the Prinsu-esque racks look like the front fairing with the seal lays on the roof panel ever so slightly. Dont really want road debris getting up in there and buffing through the paint in the wind. I may be worrying about nothing. Solid tray sounds like something else to rattle just off the hip.

 

Ah, that. Yeah, put some vinyl down if you're concerned about it.

 

Concerning for sure. Previous vehicles I've owned have had roof fairings for 8 years without marring the paint. Arbitrary data point.
What are you wanting to store up top?

 

Whatever I need to throw up there lol. Probably mount my all weather rifle case up there to store recovery straps and cargo stuff and such in. Im selling my RTT rack and going camper shell plus the 21 doesnt have the drivers side cubby hole. So im having to put everything in different places than I did with my 16. Still not sure where the hell im going to put my viair at.

 

Sounds like you should just wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap if you’re concerned with the odds of that happening, in an area that is not only out of sight, but also covered from visibility from the rack...

Edit: Def don’t take it off pavement, as gravel may sling up and scratch the undercarriage.
