geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Only the finest for these money makers.

 

Randall. Can you elaborate on that PVC & black mesh contraption on the bottom of the island?

 

Georges old bath was just a hair too big to fit in the sink correctly but a hair too small to rest on the edges safely. So I built that as a little platform for his bath to sit on.

 

Did you make it or buy it?

 

Made it of course.

 

How the hell I missed this before..duh me!

Much love @geekhouse23 I had no idea what direction to go so I enlisted some help with this.

Yeah I'm from Bruins country hahaha

 

All good bro. Thanks for the ornament.

 

Assist to @EatSleepTacos on this one..

 

Rand is bae

 

Trying to choose some new wheels (tires too but those are picked out)

'Like' the post of which wheel you like. SCS would be awesome, but just not in the budget or worth the wait..

I'm a fan of the Level 8s, but I've been hot on the Method 701s lately. I love my SCS Ray-10s, but the lip on the fake beadlock ring retains water after a wash and drives me crazy, cuz there's the remnant of a water deposit after it dries.

 

Overlander problems.

I'm slowly becoming a real overlander, guys!!

 

I didn't realize it when I bought my KMC bead locks but there are drain holes all around the ring so no water pools up in them. It's a nice touch.

 

I really like my set. I bought them mostly because I knew they would be quality but was skeptical on how beneficial that internal/hidden bead grip technology would work. Basically just took it as an added advantage when purchasing. Now after abusing them for the past year I can say that the technology truly does work. It’s not a true bead lock by any means of course, but it most definitely holds the bead on much better than the average wheel. I usually air down to about 10-12 pounds and have had them at 8 when needed without any problems on some pretty tough sections of trail.

I have them in black but here’s a pic of them resembling the color you posted above.

 

Yup, BBs and headset cups.

Curious what BMX you did and do have..

 

Your tires looks a little low. You may want to consider airing it up to 80psi for good rolling resistance & increased mpg

 

Slightly disappointed that you didn’t use the pipe bender & welder for this project.

 

@geekhouse23 ill be driving through your neck of the woods most likely on the 6th as I go to pickup my newest victim. If you see a cement grey first gen tundra with an empty car trailer or with a red 1st gen double cab taco in tow, be sure to wave! Lol
