Idaho BS thread in the PNW

How was the tent Moke? What's the verdic on it

 

I happen to love the sound my dual offset 2.5 chery's put out. its not too loud, has a good deep tone so it doesnt sound like a rice grinder and most important the wife says it puts her in the mood to give road head.[/QUOTE]

Haha! Ben's sounded like a ricer though. He had turned his taco into a honda...

 

Thanks Monte! I guess i should have asked you when you were putting it back together... Do you know where those bolts go? Body or Box?

 

Both are body. Longest one is for the front two bolts amd the middle mes in the cab area I think. The short ones are for the rear of the cab. For the bed, the bolts are actually quite small. I don't think I have extras of those tho. There are no bushings for the bed tho. It's just solid mounted to the frame.

Also I'll double check on the body bolts. I thought the inner cab ones were all the same length and the two fevers front ones were the longer ones. I'll have to double check. That was so many other bolts ago haha

 

This is what i found for sizes:

(4) 3/8"X3"
(2) 3/8"X4 1/2"
(4) 1/2"X1 1/2"
(4) M12X1.25X40mm

 

Okay then yes. The two 4.5" ones go up front and the 4 3" go in the cab. The rear ones in the cab have a built in wing nut as there is a tab for it to lock against as you tighten it from the bottom.

Also the 4 1.5" sounds right too for the bed.

 

You say that till you're supercharged and the muffler you run makes you either sound like shit or loose performance. The magnaflow is an amazing muffler but as soon as i put my SC on it was a drony pile.

 

Sweet thanks. Also the two centers mounts on the bed that are metric. Do you know the lengths? 30mm or 40mm?

 

Center mounts??

 

Yeah, theres two at the back next to the tail lights, two near the cab and two near the middle I think. Apparently they are metric

 

Oh. Yes they are metric. Everything on the truck is haha. Not sure what they are tho..

 

Yeah I know everything is metric, but thats the only one that threads into a metric nut thats mounted on the bed. Everything else you can put standard nuts and bolts

 

Had an issue with the ladder that I haven't quite figured out yet but other than that everything was easy to setup and comfortable to use. I will say I could really feel the added weight when wheeling it, must be more than I realized.

I'll know more after this coming weekend. We are going to do the immigrant trail and a couple of others and more camping.



That is Mt Adams volcano in the background.

Interesting. Do you know how much your shell weighs? I want to say the tent weighs about 120lbs IIRC. I imagine the shell doesn't weigh nearly that much though. Not positive though. haha just a guess.

 

I think there are several contributing factors. It definitely is more weight and the weight is relatively high in the air plus I had a bed full of camping gear and firewood.

 

Soooo did it feel more tippy? Or just that you need beefier leaf packs?

 

So I got the corner lights done thanks to.your thread Monte.

Had a coworker with a decent idea... he thought it would be cool.if the bumper was painted a similar grey to.how it.looks now or a gun metal color. He mentioned the charcoal color of the new Chevys. Any opinions?

 

Cool man

As for color. Might be worth a shot. Just remember you'll have to do all your armor in the same color to make it look decent IMO. at least the bumpers the same

 

Yeah. That wouldn't help any. haha
