Hondo Garage's New Thing

Yes. It was said that all the sides can be opened from inside and out.

 

What's the issue? Seems like it's been a mostly civil discussion thus far?

Seems to me a comparison between a competing product would be a perfectly apt in here, and only help those looking to make a decision between the two, or others.

 

I concur. Pretty tame for TW standards. Someone will create a comparison thread in short order. No need for threats.

 

Looking forward to the comparison and hoping it will bring valuable input from those of us wanting an honest opinion from all sides.

Censorship is not helping anybody.

 

I vote Westy Class!

 

Just please don’t put it in 3rd gen section. Belongs where the RTT mega thread is

 

Guys, can we get back on track and keep this discussion about GFC please?

 

I might need to Google that? Pop-up makes me think of the whole roof raising up, like a tent camper or 4WC? Maybe Wedge Class?

 

Off-Roading & Trails section

 

Nope, but I’ll trade you #31...

 

Just think of it as lucky #13, but backwards.

Started a thread to compare these two options so we could leave this thread for GFC discussion specifically.

 

Yeah i guess @DoorDing and i had a similar thought. We were probably making it at the same time. Mods fee free to delete. I just wanted to take this discussion to a better spot.

 

Yes, but that doesn’t answer my question. The rear window on my ARE can easily be opened from inside and out. But closing it from inside is difficult to impossible. THAT’S what I was asking about.

 

Sorry that I wasn't more clear and that I had a couple typos in that post. Damn phone!

Here are the details that I was talking about that should work for you:

This addresses latching from the inside. I just want to be know if I can pull the window down without getting my hands dirty because I have to grasp the outside of the window to pull it past the gas spring neutral point.

 

@dman100 long ago when I was sporting a very basic fiberglass shell the prior owner rigged up a contraption to close the rear window from inside using one of these:

If GFC isn't able to figure something out, I am confident I would be able to find a place to bolt something similar to the GFC window/latches on the inside.

 

Spent a little more time than anticipated getting the shop set up, but we also moved to a new facility which is a bit bigger and had to transport all of our gear in addition to building and installing some fun new tools. This will speed up overall production and help us start sending these things out the door soon.

Building a production long bed frame today, and short bed frame tomorrow. Panels for the short bed should get cut Friday. Those will be the first production units, and we will have lots of photos and videos of the process and the final product. And don't worry, lots of interior content will be provided.

Short bed unit will be white, not sure on color for the long bed yet.

I will keep you guys up to date. Its been a crazy busy couple of weeks, but should have a lot more info for you all soon. Very stoked.

You could also pull on the interior panel stiffeners.
