GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Thanks for the reminder. I did see it, but didn't click the link because I mostly TW on my work computer and FB isn't allowed. Just pulled it up on my phone. Good find!

 

I wasn't sure if you could use it. I can't with the softopper. Take Care!

...what else... and 285/70/17s

 

Looks good!

 

Awesome build. One thing though, you will get hardly any output from the solars with them behind the bars. They need 90+% sun to get usable output to a controller.

 

Sweet.

 

This was already taken into consideration.

The bars that run across the panels can come out. This was just to show that the panels are attached to the side rails and not the bars themselves.

I wanted to mount the panels sub the bars so I could use the rack as a rack.
Then I decided it would be best to mount the panels to the sides so the panels would not deflect from the load on the bars.

 

I need to figure out a better way to run the loom down the underside of the bars, so I can get rid of the top ties.

If anyone knows of a good idea let me know.

was thinking of using the tie down rings that you can mount into the channel of the Prinsu bars, but that seems like a crappy way to do what I want done.

 

Just sealed the deal on 36 acres up by Toccoa. Headed up Friday to do some cutting and brushing camping through the weekend. @Seanb600 and another of my buddies will be there, could always use more hands if anyone is bored

 

Hells yeah brutha! Nice score that areas is sweet! I bet you bought something close enough to a lake

 

Lake is .5 mile away as the crow flys, boat launch is about 1.5 down the road.

 

You must have done your due diligence
So basically as close as you can get to lake front. Which lake?

 

Hartwell

 

What's the plans for the land? Building a house?

 

Eventually, but for now camping, shooting, access to the lake.

 

Dirt is always a sound investment.
They ain’t makin any more of it.

 

TW Hunting Trip?

 

I'm game for that

 

Well, you drive a manual...so that's a start

 

Your welcome to use my polaris ranger to help you clear it.
You got a trailer?
