Northern Virginia Roll Call

Lmao! Thanks man still a work in progress but coming along!

 

Yea, im in. May have to try and get the old shocks cut off before Saturday. Haven't done it yet.

 

Near Charlotte.

 

This is where I like to get my trail pass.

 

so ready for this day to be over.... 10 hour days and 2 hours worth of commute blows...

Plus I start my vacation after today....

house inspection tomorrow morning.... fingers crossed.

and my goal is to go to Home Depot and grab some hardware to mount the recovery boards to my front bedrail tomorrow afternooon.... someone care to post some suggested hardware / mounting methods?

 

Damn bro that does BLOW!

 

use these as T-slot nuts by ripping off the spring, then find a bolt that will work with the thread pattern.



I would buy some Aluminum flat bar.. easy to cut/bend, doesnt rust

Then drill and get some longer bolts for this setup, but apply it to the maxsa boards:

solid idea!

put those slotted nuts in the rail, bolt a piece of aluminum flat bar to the slotted nut, and put some long bolts in the flat bar and hang the recovery boards on the long bolts and secure w/ wingnuts....

 

oh boo hoo. 10 hour days.. I wish i worked 10 hours. People that work 8 hours, and still complain. I work 12 hour days.

Another friend works 14 hour nights M-F, and unloads 30,000 lbs of food every day. I dont hear complaints

 

Mark is a beast though...not your average man.

 

howd you know it was him?

 

Who else you know moves food like that?

 

Ha! exactly what he just told me on the phone

 

What kills me is that guy can get almost three days done on 2 hours of sleep. Def not your average joe.

 

Closest thing we got to a terminator.

 

this is the design that I'm thinking.....

 

i would add a bend at the bottom of the flatbar to rest on the bed, like I did in my mount for the WaterPort. In your current design, all the weight of the boards, will be pulling on the bedrail

 

just toss a 90* bend so it rests against the bed? yea that's not a bad idea.... I might put a little rubber piece so the bar doesnt scratch up the bed.
