gone

Thought I herd some people wound mount the tent to the bars then put them on the truck and mount the bars to the side rails

 

How are you liking the Roofnest? I'm considering this tent as well.

 

You're the first person ive seen to own a Norco other than myself lol. At least i dont ever see any around my area. I splurged on one about a year ago and barely know anything about it.

 

Can’t wait to get mine on. Another week and the fun begins.

 

Are you running the 285's on the 17x7 TRD Pro Rim?

 

How do you have the ram mount secured to the top of you dash?

 

Love the look of the bumper. Are those Jerry cans in the back? Mine is supposed to start tomorrow.

 

@Patch92,

I finally got the truck done, so thought I would share a pic of the C4 Fab bumper.

 

LOL! Yea, it’s about time, and the “old” one was white, but this is the new one. I went for an ‘18 OR in Cement and went balls deep on mods.

 

nice! looks good. are those 33s? they look bigger

 

Thx!

They are 285/75/17’s, which are a 34” according to Toyo.

 

Solid DH race in Angel Fire NM this weekend. Pumped to kick the season off.

 

I assume this is you in the pic?

BTW, awesome pic.

 

Inspecting a squeaking lower ball joint

 

I love the setup. How do you feel about the tent? I'm building something similar and curious if you're satisfied with the camper/Prinsu/hard too configuration.

 

Drivers side? I believe mine is chirping when I hit the dirt

 

Definitely satisfied. I had a soft shell tepui before this one. It was okay, but the set up and pack time of the hard shell is so much faster, and easier.

 

Passenger side. Got some new bearings from OME.

 

Hi Patch,

You definitely have the build I am modeling my next truck after. Love it!

Speaking of your hard shell, how do you feel about the durability of the shell? I find myself on a lot of trails where limbs etc are scraping the top of my FJ. I have wanted a roof top tent, but I have held back because I am afraid I would end up tearing it or somehow doing damage. The hard shell is a lot more appealing in this regard, plus the quicker setup and take down. What is your impression on its durability? Had any near misses with damaging it yet?

 

I have had zero issues. I’ve had tree branches break off under the tent between the shell, never done any damage. Granted, I’m not smashing 9” thick branches, but small overhang stuff hasent presented any issues. I had a soft shell before this, never tore it through, but definitely had some deeper cuts into the cover. I have much more confidence in the hard shell obviously.
