San Antonio

Bestop is sold

 

You getting rid of your truck pins?

 

No way! just had to switch from a Bestop to a Softopper due to a bed rack fiasco. Long story. About to pull the trigger on a RTT. Here's what she looks like now. Rotopax on the other side too.
I've been meaning to ask where you went dude. Miss you and your Taco in the parking garage.....hopefully moved on to something better.

 

Oh nice.. looks good.

Yeah my company moved me.. I got hired on by them but it really SUCKS.. I'm looking for new job for past two months with no luck. They just laid off bunch people so now I'm aggressively looking.

 

Good Luck! Hope you find something soon.

 

What do you do for a living?

 

Help Desk/Desktop Support

 

Who do you work for? Just curious if its my old office. I'm a Sr. Technical Instructor teaching OpenStack

 

Sent you a PM

 

Just got it and not the same company. The huge layoffs and being in San Antonio made me think it was

 

Yeah they hired a young kid from rack space and he said they just laid off 200+. Sad deal..

 

Yea I left on my own accord and wasn't laid off but a lot of those guys were middle management that had maybe a couple reports . A lot of old school rackers but they worked themselves into roles that weren't needed

 

Yeah that's what he kinda was saying when I was asking questions. I've been laid off before I know the feels.. sucks

 

Did that bedrack not work with the Bestop and only a Softopper??

 

Correct....I ordered a Bestop bed rack and the Bestop wouldn't fit under it. The Bestop is a little higher and the sides are a little wider at the top than the Softopper. I finally convinced the fab shop of their mistake and/or they realized their mistake, and they sort of made it right.

 

Noticed some differences from the 2 gen to the 3rd gen when using the Bestop. I have to put the rear tailgate bar in upside down to be able to close the tailgate. I can tell that its higher and thicker than a 2nd gen taco.

 

New guy on the block.

Just moved to SA from Baton Rouge.

Any meets planned for the near future?

 

Welcome to Texas. Typically there's cars and coffee meets or mini trips to hidden falls. Stays quiet in here though.

 

Thanks.
I meant to go to Coffee n Cars....but slept in.

 

Never been to the San Antonio one but there's good turnouts at the one in Austin, about an hour away.
This was back in October
