Hondo Garage's New Thing

Only two words: FREAKING AWESOME!

What a well built piece of kit. And, if tell me you've ever met anybody nicer than Ross - I'd have to say you're lying.

I'll post some pix tomorrow. Tonight I have to drink beer, eat pizza, and watch Xmas movies with the kids. Oh, and I'm gloating inside about my cool new GFC.

PS: My 8 year old son thinks it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. That makes it ALMOST worth the 12% tax I had to pay importing it into Canada...

 

interrupting xmas story!

 

Thought i saw the Raptor at the “XO Hanger” this past week in an IG story.... probably see a GFC on one of those trucks next season.... hey good for them. They’re right in town, don’t know why they wouldn’t work something out.

 

I believe that was the Raptor they just did an install on for maxxtrak. But it would be cool to see a collab, although the GFC doesnt seem to be XOs style.

 

Is the $500 down payment refundable? I noticed the wait is one year out....a lot can happen between now and then

 

No, but I believe you can sell your position in the queue later if you change your mind.

 

Follow up on the winter storage.

It's been collecting snow for a bit now. Today's the first day over freezing in a couple weeks so I decide to brush it off and check on it.



Inside is as dry as could be.

 

What a waste

 

I'll make up for it over the summer.

 

That’s better, we will need photographic proof, or be forced to part with the drifter to someone whom will use it!! .

All kidding aside, she looks comfy parked there

 

There will be plenty of photographic evidence, and I can assure you it's been plenty well used already.

Here's a few from this season I hadn't previously gone through to tide you over.

Well done sir!

 

Went up to Asheville from Atlanta to see some snow. Woke up to brush it off the Softopper. Figured I'd share!

 

For those of us that are less IG savvy care to share the link or pics? Thanks

 

Here!

 

Nice! Thanks!

 

So they’re working on a new roof rack for the top of the gfc? Hadn’t seen anything about that until those ig screenshots

 

It sounds like the are doing the rack for the camper that’s in those screenshots and another one for the cab of the truck.

 

yea looks like it.
I hope they don't discontinue the rack mounts that use yakima cross bars. I want to be able to put a cargo box, kayak racks, whatever thule or yakima style mounts on there. looks like those extruded cross bars are designed just to be able to bolt things to it like maxxtrax

 

You can mount all that stuff to extruded bars also.
