Someone get Tom a beer!

Hit me up, I live not too far from the Springs. I've done "show and tells" with @The_Black_Pearl and @COdude3 already, both drove from the springs to see a GFC in person.

 

Sweet thanks man!

 

I think I saw you driving west on the 6 Friday evening? Can’t wait to get my GFC installed.

 

Just put a little update on the blog.

 

Nice update! Thanks for that

 

Fan-freaking-tactic! Thanks @wileydavis

That was a great post, I feel like the natives won’t be restless for a while, well a week or so anyway.

 

That is an awesome Blog. A guy with my background in the manufacturing process (Oh wait, I didn't have any background). I do now though.
I'd love to see in real time these stations in progress. Thanks for putting that together.
Someday, I hope to be installing one too.

 

Interesting that some of the first iterations seem to have had a different latch?

 

Totally valid point, and something we are working to rectify. I agree if that we said weekly, they should be sent weekly or those affected should be otherwise notified. When you just work every day, sometimes the weeks just kind of blend together. Expo West was last week right ?

But feedback is always helpful, so the accountability is appreciated.

We will likely be transitioning to a weekly blog update as opposed to strictly through email, but will send updates to those blog posts out (as well as some other insider information as that kind of thing comes up) through the email chain.

I work plenty of hours

Weekly blog posts sounds great! Wasn't trying to be anything but constructive as I understand an idea going viral can cause a heavy backlog of work. Just waiting for my call . Can we subscribe to the blog, so it automatically sends updates when new posts are made?

 

I'd like to publicly thank Graeme, Wily, Ross and Mateis (sp?) And the rest of the GFC family who are helping with the production..I can only imagine how stressed one would be with the juggling of the new company and new weekly and daily challenges. In every conversation either text, phone or in person they were courteous and wanted to ensure that I was satisfied. They also flexed their to ensure the delivery of the product could happen when I was available. I'm excited to put this American made product to use.

 

Let me know how those rubber bumpers work for you. I am very interested, and also thought it was bit strange there was nothing there to protect the powdercoat of the frame..

 

Would this work?

Awesome! Your rig looked rad. Almost had me swerving off the road. haha.

 

Are you on a stock setup right now?

 

Do you have this bolted down to ththe bed?

 

T nuts for the extrusions are listed on the web site now on the accessories tab.

 

Those look nice! I’m planning to build a hoist system in my garage to pull the camper up to the ceiling for storage when not in use. Thought about doing this with four homemade 1/4” plate steel with hooks welded to it that would be bolted to the extrusion using these t-nuts.

Anyone think that’s a bad idea to hang the whole thing from the extrusion?
