Colorado B.S. Thread

Anyone heard of, seen or used this company before?
Kind of interested in the diy, no hoops front bumper. Front end needs a little ballast and this might be just enough.

I think Coastal makes good stuff. DIY is kind of their thing.

I have their HC rear bumper kit. Not on the truck, but on my parts rack, where it should be.

 

was it packaged well and showed up unmolested?

 

Yep. Shipped promptly, arrived on time and unmolested. They were also super responsive over email. Good dudes.

 

@Deathbysnusnu forgot to mention I used the Ecoflow hunting this year. Brought my Noco Genius 5 to charge my RV battery off the Ecoflow then charged back with solar. Output was obviously way higher than input but only took a couple of hours to charge the Ecoflow back up.

 

Never thought to use it that way, pretty awesome. I've been happy with mine too, and have been eyeballing the Ecoflow Delta Pro for potential off-grid use. Mainly for high energy applications like a washing machine once a week.

 

My battery is pretty much shot but I use such minimal power I didn't want to replace it yet. Heater kept kickin on so drained it quicker. Charged enough to finish out the trip

 

You could prolly run the camper off the Ecoflow alone using the 12v outlet and wire it to your battery connection. I think it supports 10 amps.

Edit, maybe not, the 5521 output is limited to 3 amps. Not sure what the 12vdc output supports. I'll have to dig out the manual to confirm.

Edit, edit...according to the manual the 5521 supports 3 amps and the car power output supports 10 amps, so it should work just fine for a furnace, lights and electric fridge.
My camper solar controller is limited to 10 amps in and out and has never gone above 7 amps when everything is running.

 

I built their bumper on my old first gen Tundy. Good kit

sweet rig

 

That was a huge help and very inspirational! Will sleep on it and prolly order tomorrow.
Do you think the Harbor Freight 12K winch will fit in it with the control box removed? Looks like it should.

 

Lololol even better. I installed the HF 12k winch in it. Had to shave down the clutch lever a bit to fit after clocking. I mounted the control box in the engine bay. Let me see if I can find some pics, no promise tho cause I did it solo and had a horrible time.

Edit: no photos of the process, but here it is installed on a Red Elephant Hill trail run with @Winkle99

 

I currently have the HF 12K installed behind the stock bumper, with the control box inside of the stock bumper in a fairly unprotected area. Moving to the engine bay sounds like a better idea.

 

rolling thru my old pics from when I bought that Tundra, apparently I have purchased the most recent tires way back then and have absolutely no memory of them, or what happened to them.

 

I quit drinking 3 weeks ago, this is why. So much short term memory loss. That was back in 2017, no clue what happened to them, or if i wasn't happy with them for some reason. Did someone on here buy them?

 

@Red Baron has theirs on his taco

 

I blame that one incident on your walk home in the dead of winter that one time. Kudos to your 3wks buddy

 

Lame, cheating Astros won The World Series again

 

I'll have to mess around with it and see. I might be able to bypass the battery and rig up a connection to the 30amp fuse location before it hits the main breakers.

 

i love this model tundra!
