Idaho BS thread in the PNW

it was in august sometime i got on the forum the day after i got the truck so like august 15th or so

 

FYRLYTs are awesome but not worth the price. the guy that designed lightforce left lightforce and started FRYLYT because he could get brighter lights out of halogens than HIDs and LF wanted nothing to do with it.

 

ahhh its just a spacer..might..might not be the right bolt size tho.

How thick is it? I think i need at least an 1'' maybe 2..

 

Yea those!! dude..they are sick! Id love a couple of those..But shit man..800 freak bucks? Yea..right...haha

 

it's not much maybe half an inch just stack some washers up under there.

for 800 bucks I'd rather buy this... http://www.campinglab.com/carpatecho02.html

 

Yea i was just gonna do like what Ian did and use 5/8s nuts. But idk what length or thread of bolt to get..plus i still gotta order my new bearing.


and damn! Nice find man! good tent..

 

i dont think i have a gas light, i dont like to run it dry either. i usually fill it up when i have used around 15 or so

 

i have a carrier bearing drop kit from OME that i can't use because i have no carrier bearing. i was offering it to monte because it will cost me 10 dollars to ship it back to TT plus a 15% restocking fee and it's a 12 dollar part.
12x15%= $1.30 plus 10 for shipping= 11.30 its not worth 70c of my time to return it.

 

Though our tanks were only 15...

 

I'm thinking this will be my tax return present

 

No it wont work. Says 05+ tacomas

 

Would be a great one!

But...i thought your bed rack didn't cover the full bed...soooo..how would you carry it?..

 

either mod the rack a little or throw it in the trailer I'm building

 

Your building a trailer now? Wtf..lol

Im already dreaming up my trailer too hahaha

and yea modding the bed rack would be pretty easy. But i LOVE the idea of keeping on the trailer. Then you can just leave the trailer at your base camp and your not so top heavy

 

Yea it's going to be 3'w 5'l and 2.5'd on 1200lbs torsion axles i plan on running at least a 33" tire on it.
it won't be done till this summer.

 

just get marine grade canvas and press snaps like boat covers that would be easy.
my entire rack will be removable too we're going to attach it like a wake boarding tower with some bolts and keyed slots to a base plate

 

Could just use and awning Ben.

And yea mine will be 4x6. Read thats the best setup to run with my truck. You want the wheels to be the same width and the same distance from the rear tires as the your wheelbase so the trailer will follow your track perfectly.

 

That too..but again..you can't take that on a trail..haha

 

Lol by base camp...i mean the middle of a trail or the back woods by a few trails..haha

 

Ive been thinking about a expo trailer too! Good thing i work sales at a trailer dealership Im thinking about ordering a 5X8 cargo, rip of these fenders, throw some 33's, put a lift kit on it, slap some racks on top, build a bunk bed and call it done. These are trailers i sell.
