NW WA Meet / BS Thread

A quality vitamin R is always a requirement for a job like this

 

I'll give it another go tonight. I tried last night. It's pretty cramped back there to get any room to swing. I tried wedging a 4x4 up there and using a crowbar to pop it out but no luck. Not enough leverage since it's so high off the ground and I'm lying on my back under it.

 

What about a heat gun and a dent puller kit from Amazon? Not sure if it’s work you, but seems to work for the people on IG…I watch too many reels/shorts.

 

The heat gun is for plastic body panels. Only thing heat is going to do to his fender is fuck up the paint

 

How much was the coastal bumper?

 

I ordered the high clearance with side hoops and no swing outs. Came to be $910 including shipping. I think about $150-$170 of that was shipping alone. I ordered it with a 15% discount for Black Friday though.

 

Great price!

 

Who has a RSI Smart Cap and how do you like it? (@WrecklessAbandon @Bertw192 ) I'm looking at getting the EVOa Adventure to replace my Softopper and Thule bed rack that I switch out seasonally. I want something that I can put my kayak racks on without giving up dry storage space in the bed, and I really like the way the Smart Cap looks.

I've read through other threads, but was looking for some local opinions from people who have used it in our climate and also recommendations on dealers vs ordering and installing myself.

 

If you can shrink your bed. I have a EvoA for sale.

 

I love mine. I'm not entirely a fan of caps, but you can't beat the secure/dry storage. Plus, IMO, the SmartCap is the best looking cap for our trucks. I would 100% buy again.

Edit: Makes packing for camping trips a breeze, compared to my old tonneau days.

 

No love for the long bed. Are you going with something else instead?

 

This is one of the main reasons I want it or something similar. The softopper has side access, but the frame structure limits what you can fit through the openings.

 

I don’t have much to add, Bert pretty much summed it up. It seems like most people go through mikes custom toys in grants pass. It can definitely be installed in a driveway/garage with the help of a friend or 2.

 

Went with the loan peak canopy camper.

 

When is the maiden voyage?

 

TW Snow Camp?

 

I’d fux with it

@Bertw192 and I had to snuggle to stay warm on this trip

 

Spent two cold nights in the driveway. Testing out the bed. Need to get working on insulation. A find my cords for the diesel heater.

 

When and where was this trip?
