Hondo Garage's New Thing

Hey all sorry for the absence. Here is some more photos of our complete build. The GFC+Decked+ Gear is heavier than anticipated, so we will be adding helper springs to bring us back to stock height.

 

Stock OR. Don’t want to go higher than stock due to ingress/egress of the back and also height of the bar tops.

 

Getting on mine with the lift and no step stool or box to use is fun. Watching my 5' wife try it is more fun.

 

I have been looking into the falcon shocks as a nice stock height and/or leveling suspension that could work as you add weight. The rears are adjustable depending on weight in the back and/or towing. I would also add rear leaf springs or helpers though.

Nice rig! Clean and simple. I have a yeti and eventually moved to a fridge, any reason yall didnt go with a fridge?

 

Rephrase to fridge/freezer. lol. I wasnt thinking about delicious iced coffee while out on the trail but it does sound rad.

 

Yes it’s there to hold a keg for our cold brew nitro system. Doesn’t exactly fit well in a 12v fridge!

 

Let’s play a game, from GFC or not?

 

Totally doable without drilling anything. To help understand how easy it is, I took off my rear panel and reinstalled it in less than 5 mins. Just now, in the dark. Once you do it a time or two it just gets easier. Daylight pics to follow

 

Yes! Exactly how I envisioned.

 

Nice.

Is there room to put a bolt with a nice plastic knob on it so you can do it by hand - without tools? That would be sweet.

 

Not having seen one in person - I didn't catch that. If it were just holding on the side - my idea would be good. If it's the bolt that holds on the tent - I probably wouldn't want a hand tightened knob.

 

Another reason the guys at GFC rock, they make it simple yet durable.

 

Nothing a locking washer can't solve, but let's face it most guys carry toolboxes in their trucks at all times if you go off road in the slightest. Two bolts with a wrench or socket set is a 2 min job, hell with a mini impact it's 20s easily.

 

@Ralston comes in johnny on the spot again with the pictures! Thanks dude.

Removing the panels wasn't something I really was concerned about - but it's great to know it's so straight forward if a circumstance comes up that calls for it.

I know it would be poor form, but I am considering hijacking the next delivery run they make - I am going crazy with the waiting.

 

The meetup was so awesome! Tons of people showed up and The quality of the GFC far surpassed my expectations!! By far the best purchase I have made for my truck! Thank you @socalktk for letting me check your truck/GFC out! You guys will NOT be disappointed. Pictures don’t do it justice and you really do need to see one in person if you have the chance.

Also, seeing the white panels in person made
Me change my color options back to white! The white looks great in person! Photos don’t do it justice at all.

 

The one of the trailer is mine! Being delivered to me tonight. Can’t wait

 

Last night was a big hit! A lot more people came than we expected! Install went flawlessly and was super easy. The whole thing is just amazing. I cant wait to use it. Ill have some more photos later. I barely had anytime to talk to Graeme at first since there were like 20+ people checking it out. We really caught up later in the evening once we got into the brewery. Good brews and great company.

Nice meeting you @Evanike ! Thanks for the pictures and hopefully ill bump into you sometime soon when you get yours! Good choice with the white too

 

Graeme mentioned the one in Northern Cali was just an install. Tomorrow hes gonna be in Portland, and possibly a mini meet there too.

 

Try giving him a call if you have his number. Hes super busy, as you can tell lol

 

Just an install but I’d be glad to meet up and show you the camper if you’re in the area
