Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

New FRC's! I got two so I might have to dedicate one to a fab shirt. I even have a shiny new patch to cover up the work logo.

 

It's a matter of overall weight distribution, especially when off road. The vertical rack is nice, but it will also put the center of gravity higher, so it matters even more to get it in the right place. I am not focusing on aesthetics, but handling characteristics.

 

he has a 6'' lift. COG went out the window long ago

 

LOL

 

I dont have time to drive out 4 or 5 hours just to wheel for 3 hour and drive back. Last time I went to alto was kinda last minute thing and felt like trying something different

 

Won't have time for that, alto was to far already

 

Not when you have to be at the shop by 3am

 

Do you sleep at night? Lol

 

When I'm drunk, hence why I drink so often lol

 

plenty of ideas, but i'm still not entirely sure what dennis is looking for. does he want an actually swinging tire gate? just the tire mount? anchored to the bed, anchored to his bumper? ratchet strap tie down, or rabit ears? lots of clarification needed since i wasn't in on the originaly conversation about the design.

i will if i'm not in MD by then.

indeed.

 

Yup, just bolted to the bed and straps to hold the tire

 

Kase original text said he was going to build a "cage" so I figured cool! Then he came out with a basket lol

 

I thought so. Never could get into fantasy-style games.

 

Lol not closing on my busy days. Slow days I'll close no problem

 

I never played skyrim

 

Both games are fantasy, one has more humor and the other is more dark I guess you would say

 

front or rear of the bed? offset to one side or the other, vs centered? you wnat the tire upright, or at an angle? oriented from side to side, or front to back?

 

Just center of the bed by the back window, upright

 

Damn Dewalt batteries. Mid-way through drilling the holes on carrier plate for the lug studs and both batteries are dead, and my electric drill doesn't have a big enough chuck to hold a 5/8" bit. Guess I'll have to wait for them to charge.
