Orange County CAF's: up to no good

I've had several I prefer their connectors / release mechanism over the bullshit push button ez up. Mine usually last years until the plastics crumble and eventually tears or something. I had one fold up and it was cause I staked it down with 9" nails. A small dust devil crumpled mine and tumble-weeded my buddy's into my truck

 

I bought a new ez-up 2 years ago and they have done away with those stupid hard to push little buttons. They now have a pin with a key ring on it that you just pull. Pretty easy now and no sore thumbs.

 

Really man, it's winter...

I guess that's how the retailers look at it. Nobody needs shade after Labor Day, that's just crazy talk.

 

But desert season

 

Any of you guys been to the Wildomar OHV area?

 

It's crazy how different the reviews are for stuff like this. The last QuickShade I had lasted about 3 trips until one of the plastic pieces in the scissor mechanism broke. Will never buy again. The damn MFG stickers were still on the thing. The longest lasting "over the counter" canopy I've had (2 years) was still the ezup.

 

It's more of a dirt bike and atv ohv, was a bit tight last I went a year ago. Although a lot can change over a year

 

Exactly, I use it for desert. This is when I usually buy them.

 

When I'm at be in laws I'll have to hit you up. I want to check it out.

Yeah. It looks smaller but fun still.

 

If you're in the area it's worth checking out

 

Sure, only a few lines you can do in a truck. Maybe a few more with 4x4. Hit me up. My truck will be Going in the next few weeks

 

Right on. Not sure when I'll be in town. Hopefully soon.


Also my antenna is a rusty mess. Any idea on what to do?

 

Replace it.

 

That whole bezel is a pain. I thunk you have to have a certain tool to get it off. But I think you're right.

 

If these are the same chicks I met it won't be that entertaining

 

I've seen them, pretty lit parties over there

 

The parties over there are lit. I doubt they're gonna get one going like that though

 

Already got a handful of connections over there for that so I'm not worried bout it
