Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Are you trying to do the body lift? If so, yes these are the correct bolts that need to be loosened up.

 

Thanks for finding that!

With all the good options out there for other fuel burning heaters I can't imagine that wood burner is worth the hassle or the risk. At least you have somewhere to dump the bowl out when finished.

 

I was fully expecting to get shit for buying it. If I'm honest, I was being a bit impulsive.

I know I'll miss driving it on the trail because of its size. On the trail, the 3rd gen is going to take some getting used to. Still not used to looking out over that giant hood.

 

Dude that's awesome! I woulda sat there or left a note to get to shred with that dude. I've been eye balling the new bent chetler 100s (or nordica enforcer 100s) and came across this sick little documentary about surf amd ski and climbing and ice watched it coming on 5 times but that van is in the movie

Na,you'll be fine. My 2nd gen seem to keep impressing me all the time. Now with an extra 7in up front I still barely notice the width.

 

Yep.. JUST one inch to make it easier to fit 35s, but not screw up the geometry of my truck. I thought you were or are running one from other older threads so I tagged you. Installing it myself this weekend.
Thanks man and @EDDO

 

Tell me about it, i went from a 91 pickup with that squared front end to the 2nd gen Tacoma with a hood scoop. I've been driving this truck for 5 years and i still get out of it after parking "really close" to an object only to find out i still have a couple feet in front of me .

 

Are you letting the doggos ride in the cab with you now that you have more space?

 

A bad wheel bearing....lol. Destroyed one of the rear bearings. Fronts are still good, for now....

 

It's easy to install and my truck haven't blown up yet like some of those guys predicted. Hardest part was figuring out the fan shroud part. Make sure you double check your bolts and retighten as needed because they will become loose.

 

They usually do unless I have all three, which is rare. I had my back seat out for a while in the 1st gen and it was great. Plenty of space for two dogs.

The new truck is going to take some thought. Might make some sort of folding platform to put in place of the back seat when I need to.

 

Haha, so you're going to take a Chance!

 

What's the best thread for organizing drives? I am interested in a Mendo run.

 

Not me, but I seen him a couple times when id be leaving the marina. Hes definitely on here somewhere tho.

Check it out. Making gasoline from CO2...

Guy was in the shop today that works for the company. Should see stuff in March. If this really works, fuel could be cheaper. As far as distribution, he says it can be produced at the head or at the station. Stored and pumped just like gasoline. Octane rating is expected to be between 95-98 too.
It's not reducing the amount of C02 in the atmosphere, just not adding more.

I'm curious to see how it pans out.

 

I put one in my truck and never pulled it out. I'm thinking about gutting the entire second row and building a better platform with more space for tools and equipment underneath.

I very rarely come into a situation where someone needs to sit in the back of the truck, the seats are so small that most people would rather Uber.

 

We should have a platform build day. I'm going to lose my 2 twelves in the back and go for a 6. Those little burgers are actually pretty impressive. Then want to build a platform for my pup for the back. Folding would be cool, but I'd be happy with something sturdy in general.

Gonna have to be. My doggos an 80lb bitch.

 

"Lets See Your Dogs" thread has had several members share their versions of a dog platform/storage bin. Do a search and you'll find them.
