The Lair

@Kemosabe how was the

 

Yep we do! Even though we live in the desert, we average about 60" of snow per winter on the valley floor and slightly more at my house because I live at a slightly higher elevation than the city. But it usually melts it between storms so we rarely have more than 8-10 inches on the ground at one time. This is an exceptionally big storm for us. We usually get 2-4 inches at most from a single storm.

 

Yes please!

 

I'll take some

 

Awesome! Gave a little tune up on my 30-06 scope, sharpen my eye with my 32 sight at 100yards, adjuted my new red dot on the 12 gauge (that dot is awesome!) and fired a couple shot with my buddy's 17HMR at long range. It was a great morning to shoot with the temp we have today!

 

Have you seen the trim for the cut edge from trail toys?

Woah that was thorough

 

I think I have. Sorta like this on my fender flares?

 

Yeah, exactly. Just helps clean up the cut look

Nice! where did you find the hardware? I got some of those maxa Amazon boards when they dropped to 85$. Only problem is they don't stack so I'm going to need some long bolts

 

Be cautious that water can linger in there promoting rust. Try to seal the bed side cut with a paint sealer and get good weather stripping.. I sealed my paint the best I could with a clear paint pen from auto zone, but the trim pieces have fallen off both rear bumper cut and front wheel well cut. Leaving them off till i find a better trim and would like to apply caulk somehow in the trim to adhere and seal.

 

I ordered 2 gallon jugs at pep boys with a 20% off coupon and free ship to store. Pep boys usually has some kind of coupon on there site.

 

yeah I can believe that, I would feel more comfortable with something that adheres. in the back of my mind I would constantly be worries its falling off hahaha

Have you used beads before? I think that's what I want to do when I get 35s. The reviews are so mixed. I'm still not sure how well they work

 

judging by his "how to" in his build page, I would say he has used them before

yea cuz they could.. Hah.

I originally used a hard plastic auto trim that had a bit of sticky glue in the channel. I cleaned and prepped surface and used a heat gun to apply but they still fell off. After a quick search on Amazon theres a lot of different trims out there. Why I say get a good one. Im thinking one like this without the aluminum and still trying to add my own caulk sealant inside the channel. The video for the product shows a good description.

So the plan for this year is snorkel, gears, a lot of cutting, 35x12s then this

Anyone camped/explored cape lookout? As far as I can tell it's free beach driving and camping. The only cost is a 85$ round trip ferry ride.

 

I know its just trim but it was a pretty educational video hahaha any particular reason you don't want one with aluminum? if you just punch a hole in the point on the silicone tip instead of cutting it off it should be simpler to get it into the channel of the trim. it will be messy tho as you apply the trim hahaha
