Vegas BS Thread!

Just moved to Vegas! New to this thread as well

 

welcome!

 

I have mine tinted as well and it's not too bad at night, my problem is my night vision is starting to get worse so the windshield tint makes it harder to see at night.

 

that was going to be my recommendation too. Yeah, they are a dealer so there is a higher price, but I like Findlay and a couple of their service advisors have either 4Runners or Tacomas so they treat you well.

 

Welcome! Congrats on escaping CO! haha! Where are you in Vegas? Actually Vegas or Henderson, NLV?

 

I live up north...may actually spot me around once in a while. I'm waiting on my custom plates so it'll def be easier to verify in the future lol.

 

Actual Vegas. I'm near Lake Sahara

 

Recently got rid of mine . Going ground tent .

 

I am not but if you wanted a peak at some CVT is up near the speedway.

 

I'm kind of frugal (ok, cheap) - so I don't have a proper awning like the cool kids I do use a Slumberjack tarp off the back of the truck. I like it except it doesn't do as much for the sun when at high elevation and it's really freaking hot. That's only been about 10% of the time I've used it. It holds up to pretty high winds, works with my topper EZ lift, and is quite spacious. It's been a life saver at work this summer (pic below). I also have the "fruit stand" - a DIY awning. One long metal piece (some random metal my husband found somewhere) on each side, parallel to the length of the truck, is bolted to my Yakima rack (should have waited and gone with Prinsu). Each side has 3 small eye bolts that a standard tarp clips to with old carabiners. Tent poles from Cabela's, some old stakes and cord complete it. It's also possible to add sides for warmth and wind shielding - just using old tarps. Absolutely came in clutch when I demanded we do Thanksgiving dinner in a massive cold snap up in the South Ruby Mtns. LOL It does not look as cool as the fancy ones but very much works great from 15 deg F and windy to to 90's at 8500 ft amsl. All in for both awnings was less than $200. I don't have detailed pics of both, but here are some examples.

 

It is now easier to tell if it’s me rolling around town.

 

I really like the color scheme and how it stands out. All that is left is for me to get my license switched over, plus pay with the military and I’ll officially be a NV resident.

 

Holy meow! That's wonderful. Do you know how long the sale is for. or what else might be covered? Enjoy the new kit!

 

Just did a search in VTO Garage group but the only one listed sold a week or two ago.

 

Hello, everyone. Just moved (back) to Vegas after spending a few years in NM. Hope to journey with some of y'all down the road. I really wanna take advantage of the upcoming months before my new job gets crazier.

Does this thread also serve as a flea market?

I'm considering getting one of those discontinued CVT awnings, too. Is the specified length the width of the unit, or how far out it extends from the truck?

 

Welcome back!

If anyone wants to run a trail let me know I’m down. I’m usually free on the weekends just need to coordinate with the wife.

 

Thanks, guys. It's good to be back. Maybe we can set something up for the weekend of the 22nd?

As to the awning, it is a square? I'm gonna snag one of these. I've got an Uptop rack and awning brackets in anticipation of getting one later. Seems a good a time as any.

Oh, and for the flea market, I ask because we had a BS thread and a flea market thread for NM, so wasn't sure if this served the purposes of both.

 

Is that listed as the 79"? I went the other day to grab one. Got a gray 79".

 

I'm down for the 22nd.

 

Sorry, I'd love to but I doubt my body will be down. I got same day surgery Friday so I'm sure I'll be hurting for a couple days after.
