Florida B.S. Thread

Nice thanks for the lookout. I cant wait to get shit going! My truck does great offroad now stock I cant imagine how it will be after the 3" and some mud tires.

 

what tires are you thinking about getting?

 

they sure to. just about everything i do is rattle can bedliner









If it's mine and it's black, it's probably bedlined (via rattlecan)

from what i've experienced though, the rustoleum is much moredurable than the duplicolor. it also has a slightly rougher texture, which i like. even though the duplicolor isn't as tough, it's still much tougher than standard spraypaint.

 

Could you please tell me what exactly this devise is for? I have an Idea but just want confirmation. By the way genius Idea for the kick outs/step on the trailer

 

its a Jerry can holder

 

Do you Make them? And If so do you make one that would be able to hold Multiple Can's?

 

Colin makes them, I think he is working on one that holds 4 cans

 

Well Then My Next question would have to be Of course Directed to Colin. How much would you charge for one of these Magnificent devices (one that holds 4 cans)? And also while we are on the Subject of jerry can where would you go to find reasonably priced cans in Florida?

I have a 6x12foot inclosed trailer that I haul my Motorcycle in and then do some camping in once I get to my destination. I have a Generator that I use to run an AC unit and other devices and I find that it is a pain in the @$$ to disconnect the truck from the trailer and load up a gas tank or 2 to fill up the generator every night. It would be much more conveniant to load up several cans before I get to the camp ground and be able to keep them secure from theft and also not sliding around in the bed of my truck

 

haha, thanks tony


Ninja,
Tony pretty much covered it all.

I've recently started a small company called Overland Offroad Fabrications.
Here's a link to the facebook page (stillworking on an actual website)
I only have a couple things listed right now, but i'm working on more items that i'll be producing in larger quantities. i can also do custom work. for example, say you need some bracket to hold something inside your trailer like a spare motorcycle wheel, I can work with you on a design, come up with an illistration if needed, and when you're satisfied with the design, i'll build it right up.

the jerry can link tony posted is for the exact can that i make these for. i make it based on those because they are priced reasonably, but more importantly, they are readily available, unlike some other options.

I can indeed make them for multiple cans. there are also some options with a single unit for multiple cans, such as do you want one large clamp with a single lock to hold them down, or do you want to be able to use multible locks and open the tops indevidually. even the predesigned products can be adapted where needed.

Edit: PMd you with some price information.

 

I'm looking at the fierce attitude m/t cause the tread looks sick, and there is good reviews. People bashed the design but for the price and the performance why hate?

I'm down to bedline then lol

 

That's the BFG Walmart sells right?

if we're talking about the same tire, I'd run that tread. only issue i have isthat they don't offer enough load ranges and sized. if they have what you want though in those regards, you're all set

 

I think alot of people don't like them because they are very similar to Dura-Tracs which have thin sidewalls and are prone to punctures

 

everything's prone to puncture if you try hard enough. I have about a 14inch long slice near the side or my tread, and jason is missing 1/3rd to 1/2 of a tread lug, both from rocks. we both have reputable, popular tires.

i've seen the colplaints for the duratracs, but i've seen even more praise.

the duratrac is designed with snow in mind (snow and sand perform similarly as far as traction). for snow, you want your tire to be able to conform to the surface, which calls for a thinner sidewall. so thinnerit may be, it does have a purpose. just use a little extra caution when you're wheeling rocky terrain.

 

I'm not to sure about sizes etc. and load havnt looked much into it. But I like the look and offroad and road performance.

People say the km2's are weak to... but fink has em, jason has em, and a couple other florida guys I think we are ok here cause we dont do any rock crawling lol

 

the previously mentioned tire wounds are from rocks in florida....

unfortunately we don't have too many rock areas in fl, but the rocks that do exist are very sharp and abrasive. go out to a place like moab utah and there are a lot of rounded off boulders.

 

MOAB is sick!!! I'm gettin a 2 week payed trip with Jeep Rental for my Graduation present
