    I can do coffee Tuesday night next week, if that works for anyone else.

    Sorry I never ended up getting out on the weekend. I had some stuff to take care of around the house before I left for Ottawa.

    My friends Honda 450 could fit in my bed cleanly with the tailgate down but my Polaris 500HO would be cock-eyed, so the Polaris would ride on the trailer with the honda in the bed

    I could haul my ATV if I needed, but it had spacers on the front to clear the set of tires on it, so that could have led to the troubles

    Went out last weekend and visited two coast spots, first was Burntcoat Head park. It is located in Noel, along the Bay of Cobequid (Bay of Fundy)

    This spot was fantastic and I will be going again when the tide is on its way out. I went when the tide started coming in so it limited the amount of time I could spend on the backside of the island. But I still was able to get around and see the caves, and moved along the beach as the tide came in. Very peaceful and in the end there was a great sunset. I bring my zero-gravity chair everywhere now so I can post up and enjoy the sunsets haha

    The next day I made a trip out to Hirtles beach down just past Lunenburg. Look it up; white sand beaches and a massive 2.5km (roughly calculated) span in a crescent moon shape. I went on a sunny day, soaked up the sun laying on my chair, then when I couldn't sit still any longer I went for a hike to the end of the beach. I went when it was almost High tide, so by the time I left at 9:30 the tide was on its way out again. I definitely want to go back when the tide is all the way out to get a better appreciation of the beach. I have been making these balancing thing-a-ma-bobs, and this one was my biggest yet! Note my backback to the right of this one, the middle rock was at the extent of what I could lift hahah

    My Bed lights and Hood light/engine bay light are from MattGecko. Nice stuff, the LED string is soft and pliable, really sticky, been on there for over a year, and he's not stingy with the install hardware/wire.
    I chose "warm white"

    my interior LED lights are from JumpersLED's ( csjumper2003 )what a HUGE difference in interior brightness. I can actually see in the truck now at night. From him I bought the map lights and dome light. Installed them while waiting in the drive thru at McDonald's lol!

    All of them
    Was thinking about the mattgecko led strips but it's a really easy build so might do it myself when I have 5 min.

    P.s. why don't you have a build thread? :popcorn:

    This is how you fix the wheel well problem

    This is fitting the massive bike in, and I suggest air bags

    Any TRD Pro's in this area? I thought I saw one today, and got all excited. The wife told me I was an idiot, and a nerd... She just doesn't get it I guess.

    I haven't done it since it would very slow and boring, I've only done fairly simple electrical work.
    that's going to change once I start in on that clutch in 3 weeks! Got a quote From Rod Machine Shop
    $70 Base price ( $80 if its double sided )
    + 10 if it has a lip
    +12 if it has dowel pins

    approx 3hrs to be returned to customer ( to be confirmed at time of machining )
