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

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.

Awesome! I think I recall you saying something about working up there with your dad or something. Prudhoe bay maybe. IDK

Anyway, 35s, right on!

 

Well ya I'm working with my dad haha more or less..I never see him really..he is a big boss and I'm a lowly shop/yard bitch hahaha

But yes!! 35s!! I think it'll fill out awesome.. Not to mention a wider stance still..as the rims are less BS then my current ones..ha

 

Take some pictures for me. I will probly be doing mine in the next couple weeks

 

You know me. I take almost too many pictures now

Ill be sure to take lots.

 

Nice!


and yeah glad you're not in Laramie haha

 

Ya I hate that town. Idk why. It just annoys me.

 

Hey I see here you used the Rustoleum bed liner.... how has that held up??? I just sprayed my fender flares with it a week ago and am wondering how they hold up.... but I'm REALLY wondering how your Elite bumper from Tim is holding up?! I just placed an order tonight for one and would like to do this if it holds up well

 

I did use rustolium. But now I use dupilcolor. It's local to me and I like the finish better. Plus seems to hold up a tad better..

But both work well. And look good. The best part is the painted going to scratch no matter what if you wheel. Just spray on more! Easy touch up.

Bumpers a AWESOME. Worth every penny. Only thing I have done is a small dent from SLAMMING. A rock. I rolled my truck too and the light hoop saved my hood and windshield and lights. Only scratched the painted.

I did manage to bend the mounts. But it was my own fault in a weird situation. I have discussed it with Tim and I think he tweaked the design so probably will never happen again.

Both are works of art and to this day is probably the most bad ass purchase I have made. Tim is the man.

Exactly!!

Epic bumpers.
