Florida B.S. Thread

Lurry I think with his new reasoning it will be good.

But Colin how long do you think it will take to get the 9" ones?

 

end of the summer. once i build the bed rack, i'm doing a complete lighting overhaul.

it actually looks to be close to your height, larry. maybe a tad taller. it's more square though for sure. i need to get some better angles though. the one i posted is actually look up a little at it, making it look taller than it is

 

i'll have to check mine tomorrow. i think the midpoint of the tube is between the center of the upper plastic of the grill, or max, centered with weatherstripping between the grill and hood.

 

what i'd really like to do is make one that only comes up about 6 inches, but put one of rigid industries' 30 inch bars under it

 

That lc is nice and price right. I see some local but the guys are usually asking way too much!

 

Are the 4 door "front doors" just like the access cab doors?

 

mhmmm there is a truck for parts on craigslist with some... spare doors

 

took some more pictures before work earlier.

looks like the centerline of the tube is about even with the weatherstripping between the grill and hood.




the only thing i have to worry about if i lower it is the clearance with the back of the lighs and the grill. i like the angle, so i'd rather not tilt if forward more to clear them. the ones now are bviously fine, buta 9'' spot beam is going to be a pretty deep light (only a potential issue if i lower it).


and here's what i see from the driver's seat. it's actually kind of usefull, because now i know exactly where the furthest forward point of the truck is.

 

i guess u need to just hurry up and get those lights to finish making ur adjustments. Just buy 1 for starters and fab everything around that.

 

Just ordered my tonneau cover. Got the Access Literider soft cover. Picked it up from Truck Alterations for $280 shipped.

 

nice! velcro or snaps?

 

velcro

 

nice, i like that better. allows you to take out any stretch the cover gets over time more easily.

 

yeah i didnt want to go with the snaps bc i heard they break a lot. And i have been wanting a cover for awhile. I am heading up to north GA over 4th of july to go camping with the wife so i will get to try it all out.

 

yeah, the snaps can pull out too much. i've had to try to repair some on the cover to my dad's boat. you also get a more complete seal with the velcro. have fun camping!

 

yeah i cant wait to go.

 

The left side looks fucked up, could this be broken bed support? Maybe I should flat bed my truck

 

A little late on the kayak thing but I would highly recommend Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120. I have paddled quite a few kayaks, and this one tracks and is the fastest for what it is. It has plenty of storage for day, or even camping trips. I have one and use it to fish, it works great. It can go on the roof or in the bed of the truck, and it is manageable by one person. My buddy just recently went to a kayak demo and tried one and told me it was the best kayak out of 10 he tried.

 

What kinda price tag? Link?
