New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

I like kc bbq and the thai place on Main Street.

bookery has a good coffee shop

 

Buckleys great steaks

 

Gonna have to add that to my list!


… for a date night maybe

 

G spot. Gyro spot, not sure if it's still there. Rice bowl, g sauce. Used to walk there from work.

The Bridge Cafe was a great lunch spot. Not sure about dinner. Never went that late. Killer salads.

Taj India, that place was good.

Consuelo's Tacqueria next door to Taj was also really good.

Google says Caesarios Pizza is temporarily closed, but I liked their pizza.

Thirsty moose has a lot of beers, I don't recall their food.

Waterworks cafe was a pretty good spot for breakfast.

Golden bowl for Pho, i never went now that I think of it.

Cotton was a bit nicer, higher end sort than a greasy burger joint.

Our rehearsal dinner was at Fratellos. That place was good, been there a few times, no complaints.




I'm keeping an eye on hockey east, still some nosebleed seats in Boston available for Thursday and Friday.

 

That's usually what happens


And as for G Spot....not sure I'd find it......

 

Doood that looks rad, what's the est weight?

 

I’ll get some weights tomorrow. It shouldn’t be too crazy though

 

Hahahah

 

@TacoTuesday603 def check this guy out for ideas, he built a nice flatbed setup.

Yeah he is awesome, basically where I got the construction method. Decided to skip the pop top for now.

 

Thirsty moose has pretty good pub food.

 

Base flatbed including aluminum deck is 258 Lbs at the moment. Does not include the center drawer, side storage, fenders or headache rack.

I'll need a hitch so add 40 lbs to that.

Camper is comin in at 310 lbs but I need to strengthen the frame a bunch for all the junk I need to mount to the back and add like doors and windows.

Its all very reasonable weights it seems. We will see when it actually comes all together

 

Agree Thirsty Moose worth stopping at, we have eaten at the Dover location a couple of times.

 

I think the Tundra camper didn't have windows, it was a cave. I think they had a roof vent though. Might get some inspiration from them, I'm sure he has pictures laying around somewhere. If I remember correctly it was a full wood build though.

Don't forget mounting hardware and brackets too, with weight concerns. That little stuff adds up quick.

Going for white or black paint?

 

I have no idea about austin but if hes anything like ross that thing probably weighed 800 lbs

Idk what we are doing for color. Black might suck, white will look stupid.

Bed is gunna be black tho.

 

He's not. It was probably pretty heavy though, that Tundra was stupid build for fun.

Black hot. White not. Double edged sword whatever you pick, cold winters or hot summers. I'd choose cold winters, as ridiculous as that sounds coming from me - sleeping in a furnace been in the sun baking all day in the summers sounds brutal.

 

Maybe black sides white roof, do a little FJ style. It will be better insulated than my house though, and fans and such.

 

Tie Dye

 

My vote is always plaid.

 

Hey @TacoTuesday603 you think there is any way we can design a front hitch setup that can be bolted on/off of where the BAMF hybrid front bumper bolts to/has bolt holes?
