NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Stupidest design ever. I've had those of and back on then turn around and take them back off again cussing them the whole way. Definitely broke some of the clips n shit in there in the process.

 

But how are the mirrors? lol

 

Great now that I finally finished the wiring and got my heated signal mirrors in.

 

Got my truck back today. Not getting rid of it, drive it till it falls apart. I got a new pro tech, too.

That being said, I have a Bestop for sale for 2nd Gen LB. it’s pretty rough. $100?

 

ill buy yours if you make a change.

 

Where'd you get that ProTech? Was it black already? Im going to low-ball a guy on one later today since it's been up for sale for 2 months, but it's polished. If I get it I'll be painting it black to match my ProTech tool box.

 

Did you have heated mirrors to beginning with? Mine don't

 

She wants $170 for them and she lives in yelm. They are $196 new online

 

Nope, it was a Muth kit that I bought from a member here about 4yrs ago. He was trading in his 2nd gen for a 3rd gen and he pulled them thinking they would fit, but the glass is just a little bit different

 

Solid choice!

 

I think it was 2 screws to pull, then carefully pull the power window/lock control the right way to unplug it. I want today that I broke clips on that pulling it off. Once the screws are out, start at the bottom and pull out to get the skin loose. I think there are a couple finger holes to tear it off easily on the bottom. I had practice on other cars before I started playing with the truck.

The tow mirrors I had were great. I could actually see the back of the trailer with them. I also folded them out when I was using my utility trailer (4x8 single axle) getting hay. I still had a hard time seeing behind the hay for the way I loaded it. That was also about 2 ton between truck and trailer.

I've got some basic mirrors in my garage still I think from my 2nd gen.

 

i was thinking heated mirrors as i dont have covered parking. but thanks for the offer.

 

Found it on OfferUp, got it for $240. Guy hit it with bed-liner. I don’t really like it, I will probably strip it and refinish it later.

 

Starting ABS round two. Going on the assumption that lack of bed adhesion was the only problem.
EDIT: Round two failed. The raft secured fine but the part didn't. May be the gcode itself.
Switched back to the PLA for now.

Here is a iPhone 8 with Otterbox Defender case mount. Thingaverse file. Fit is great but the print needs some more post production work (printed medium resolution). I need some more nuts and screws for the Ram mounts before I can mount it.

 

Anyone heading out this weekend?

 

Searching right now for trails around Crystal Mountain area.
Might hit Bethal Ridge. Not too exciting but great views.

 

Damn your heading a long ways. I think Sunday I’m going to take my dad up Mt. Clemens, been a while for him since hes been up there.

 

Going that way Saturday. A little trail driving, some Ardbeg Uigeadail, and some dispersed camping. Then taking the gondola up to the top of Crystal for some lunch and hike down on Sunday.

 

Anyone gone up Little Bald Mountain off 420?

It’s a fun area, I would run clover springs trail if you go that way. It’s not hard in the dry at all. Has some good views at the top.
