Night Eagle's kind of a build thread

So awesome! Im hoping to do some snow wheeling very soon. Surprisingly we just got quite a bit of snow in the local mountains thanks to this El Niño

 

Ya snow bashing is a blast. I have always loved drifting in the snow. The other posative of snow wheeling is that it teaches you, what you and your truck are capable of in a slick situation.

 

Completely agree!!

 

Really like the build!! Where did you purchase the rear bumper?

 

Thanks man. I am really happy with it. I got it from billy at brute force fab in cali. He is a great guy to work with and great product design.

 

Got off work early today. So I decided to stop by and see Josh and Miranda at @RCI Offroad. They have grown a good bit since the last time I was at their shop. After talking for a little while, I saw a set of sliders with tred plates on them and asked josh if he could put them on my sliders. He said as long as I grind the paint off, he will do it. I also might get to upgrade my front skid plate. Just need to head up to his shop some day and take care of it all. They also gave me this.

Normaly ment for the windshield. But colorado isn't nice to windshields. I have already replaced it once and I have only had the truck for two years. So instead I am going to put it on the driver side window of the topper.

 

Hey man. Have you ever been in the Red Feather Lakes area?

 

Ya I was just up there on my last snow bashing trip. Why?

 

Was looking at some property there. 154 acres with a nice little cabin on it for about $350,000. Was just kinda wondering how the area was and how close stores were and hospitals and stuff. My dad grew up close to Fort Collins up the canyon.

 

Dang that is not a bad price at all. I would love to move up there. There are a ton of trees, but it is a little secluded. I would say it is 45 min to an hour north west of Fort collins, depending on weather and how you drive.

I would be super welcoming if you moved here. So I think you should do it.

 

Property in Redfeather is cheap right now because of the beetle kill and fire issues. I've been looking at property up there too.

 

Ya I figured that was a big reason but I didn't think it was that cheap.

 

Haha I'd really love to be somewhere like that.

Definitely something to consider, thanks for letting me know.

 

Sad day today at work. I broke the tip off my Kershaw knife. I have had it for 6 or 7 years. It had been used a lot.

No way of remaking tip either. But I got this knife to replace it.

Couldn't be without a knife at work. I always feel naked without one. Hope this knife holds up to the smith & Wesson name.

 

Last Smith and Wesson I had ended with a broken tip like that Kershaw. I replaced it with a crkt and it's been great. They even sent me replacement parts for the post clip and assisted open. Then i was at Slee killing time and walked over to Spyderco. It has been the best knife I've owned since I lost my Benchmade

 

Ya the tip broke on my Kershaw because I have used it to pry on things and it finally failed. This last time was me being lazy and not wanting to get a better tool. So it is my fault. But thanks for the advice on the brand. I have never heard of spyderco before. What is the price tag like. You can never go wrong with a couple good knifes.

 

Wrong tool for the job everytime I've broken a knife.

 

I have the same knife and the tip broke on mine too. If you go to https://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/warranty and follow the process they will replace the blade for a small charge.

 

Cool thanks matt. I will take a look into it.

 

Got my rci offroad sticker put on the topper today and took care of some rust spots on my rear bumper. The rust probably came from that road salt crap and thin paint.
