Idaho BS thread in the PNW

More support im guessing. The three center bars would be for attachment and the outside are support?

 

Cameron and I had a good day at the dunes today He has some good pics Hopefully he gets them up tonight.

not really needed though..

Lisa are you doing a full bed rack too?

 

No, but doesnt hurt.

And I dont think she wants a full one. about 4' long or so.

 

4' isn't a full bed rack. Our beds are 6', 72'' long for bed rails.

if its only 4' long..wouldnt need that many cross bars, save the weight.

 

I know its not a full rack. I dont think she wants a full one.

And those two extra bars arent gonna be any weight at all really.

 

Not gonna add anything though either..

Idk..maybe thats just me..don't add anything that does do anything

 

That doesn't look to bad, you want go ahead and make me one too

 

This could be arranged easily

 

haha thanks guys for not flaming too much

I cant wait to see it tomorrow, they have a full rock crawling course out behind the shop so im going to have to go run into some rocks to test it lol

Great jump brady! pretty clean take off!

 

The way the bank was sloped I was pounding the driver's side suspension pretty hard every time I jumped it there. Found another spot that was more level. I'm waiting to see Cameron's pics. He could tell you better how high I was getting. It's a sweet feeling though!! I am second guessing going SAS. Pretty sure I want to LT so I can do that stuff! Go for a username build. Could still crawl well on LT with 37's

 

It was a blast!! Some of the most fun I have had wheeling yet! Even though I was paranoid everytime that something was going to break... Blew a rear shock, although it looked as though it might have already been blown. Driving home I did some swerving back and forth and can't even tell though

I seriously need to upgrade the rear! You'll see why in some of Cameron's pics. It bucks bad on some of the whoops! Front end does pretty well though. I just need to cut out the tops of my fenders, I was rubbing up top.

I'm thinking the defined engineering SUA kit, but the question is when will I get the chance... Oh and I should probably gusset the shit out of everything. haha

 

im so glad I don't have any dunes here

I'd be blowing so much more money on LT

 

Blew a rear shock eh? Howd it taste? And we would prefere you keep your personal life outta this...

And its sounds like that shock was quite the player, With it possibly having been blown previously.

 

I may have to go back in and tighten the bumper a little. Not positive if the bumper shifted or the grill. haha. Actually leaning towards it being the grill though. Bumper still feels pretty solid though And I got some use out of it Didn't hit it on anything really, but went up some things that I know would have tore my factory bumper and bull bar off for sure!

 

x2

I think thats what I want too. I like crawling, but if I was going to build something with my truck I would want to keep the outside as nice as possibe and give it good mid travel and make it a go fast rig, that can still do light crawling, and if i wanted a true crawler just buy an old truck and make a dedicated crawl rig that doesent have to drive nice or be comftorable.

 

Test it slamming your bump stops? haha

Ah..well do whatever..I wouldn't bother with the extra bars.

 

I do one on the ends and a middle one. That's all you need
