The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

It is! Well..initial install takes a bit.

But after at. Once you use it 2-4 times it's suuupper easy more then happy to help with anything tho.


Build note: ordered my clutch kit tonight! I will be in Powell next Thursday to start my quick fixes before my big trip. Can't wait!

 

I was looking at the awnings, do you have to put those up each time? looked like the fish eye went up topa nd you just have to poke the bottom?

 

The awnings or annex?

Awning are totally separate from the tent and need setup when ever ya want. Easy to setup nice to have two people.

Annex is the part that hangs off the tent. They are also separate of the tent and do not need setup every time you set up the tent.

 

I didn't even see my annex in the box/package but I wasn't looking that hard.

The awning above the door(s) and windows need the rods thru them, thats an every time set up I would imagine and sounds correct by your statement above?

 

The tarp that covers the tent does need the poles put in every time for the bachelor. Or at least one door to get in and out easily. Windows are optional of course. I often don't set them up.

If you have a Shasta yu won't have to use any poles if your just getting n and crashing. Why? Because the 3' overhang that covers the ladder has a larger curved aluminum pole that holds the whole thing up.

In my setup video at the end point that's how I often sleep just cause it's late and I'm ready to just crash.

If I have time I setup both doors and windows.

 

I got the hood. I am super excited to put it all together, I know it will make more sense once I get hands on.

 

Damn! Why so big?? My dad got the Helen's.

But either way..same thing..just larger haha

 

for 50$ more than I paid for the bachelor I couldn't refuse.

 

Haha true I suppose. I just have no need for it that big. Truck only holds two people and I like being able to store more stuff on my bed rack.

Just me tho.

 

Defiantly might sacrifice a little bit of storage space, should work out okay. I like having room for guests if need be and also if something ridiculous did happen, i'd rather not buy a new tent.

 

A guest?? Haha I fit a guest easy. You be able to have a slumber party in there!! Haha

 

Welp

Marlin crawler kit back ordered. I need a clutch next week.

Going wi the 1,600lb cemetric cliche kit from trial gear.
