Hi Adam.

How is the roof rack mounted? I like it a whole lot!

I couldn't get the video to play, but it may be my crappy satellite internet connection. It looks like you had a good time anyways. Bowman lake is awesome, did you make it up weaver lake?

Rotated the Tent over the rear, I like it this way much better now, provides top coverage.

Went camping in Memorial Park in La Honda, CA it was a good time, great site for just being 40 minutes away from home.

Is nobody going to mention the roof top tent on the station wagon?? Awesome!!
 
You might only be able to play it in the US due to music copyrights and restrictions. :(

But yes we did, it was a great time! Also to Meadow Lake and all the little ones in between as well.

Going up again in two weeks for the girlfriend's birthday- hopefully it doesnt get too cold!

As for the roof rack mount. the crossbars drop 1.5 inches to accomodate for the roof top tent this means it sits lowers and flush. Ill take pics soon and post them up!
 
Another update!

Also, I have been M. I. A. for while guys, the reason is- I bought a daily driver and I am in LOVE.
2002 Honda s2000 with only 35k miles! Gets 32mpg. makes sense for my commute, and now I can deck out my truck to a greater extreme without being worried about the effects on daily driving. (also this car hauls *** - 9k redline!)

Here's how my driveway looks now

WOW! That is a huge difference.

I have seen that lake really low a few times in my life before, so it's not a huge surprise. What's the level on sawmill lake like?
 
Hello everyone!

Sorry that i've been so MIA lately, I've been busy with work and the ladyfriend :tongue:

After much thinking and consideration- I bit the bullet and got some Corbeau Baja RS Suspension Seats with adjustable lumbar and Seat heaters. I also used the corbeau seat brackets. A total of 1300 Shipped :( but I got them within two days!
:wings:

Sorry for the low quality images, the battery on my DSLR was dead :(

Here's the Before.

The "suspension" part isnt as "bouncy" as I thought it would be, but we'll have to see once im offroad. As for the comfort - i would say 9/10, They are bolstered a little less on the external sides of the seats, so allow for easier entry and exit of the vehicle. Although convenient, for the first 10 minutes until i was adjust, i felt as if the seats were mounted sideways becasue the should support you get feels different.

It took some getting used to, however now that I am more acclimated its not a bother.
Looking forward to taking these suckers in the Sierra snow this weekend!.

Thoughts?
