Well we have decided to go back to Playa Concal. We are going the last week of January. Gonna do a litle surfing, fishing, exploring. :suning: When we were there for our honeymoon 2 years ago we had the best time. We are going with my wifes family which will be fun. 6 of us total just kicking...

Just out of curiosity what does it wiegh? I have gone Heavy in some areas of my build early as to not compomise durability of high wear parts. As a result keeping things like awning light are critical to avoid overloading the truck and my 4cyl.

Got ya See those are the details that make the difference. Well then why not get an in line vale that operated on a 1/4 turn and mount it so the valve halnde comes up through your rear deck. The it would be easy access access and easy on/off. I If your tank and pump are located on the inside in...

Scott Maybe this is stupid on my part but is there some reason why switching off the heater when you are not using it would be a problem. I would think placing an on off switch would solve your problem unless you have a specific reason for wanting the heater always full of water. In fact I would...

Yea I saw the write up on that unit Scott. I thought it was ok but thought it would be more of a pain in the ass to set up each time I wanted to use it.

Ya know I'm gonna give them a call but it sounds like a come on. I mean they give you prices on the upgrades and even go so far to tell you how "high" their competators prices are but there prices are "to low to print so call" sounds like a load of crap on the pricing, but I guess I'll find out...

Ha this gets better they have a florida show room about 45 minutes away from me. Guess I know what I'm doing next monday!

Well secretly I have had this desire for a nice roll up awning like my dad has on his RV LOL. :suning: I think I may have found it finally. This company named Fiamma makes a good looking unit. It is light and will fit a roof rack cross bar. With the mounting kit it is just shy of $350.00! It...

I am going to redo my skids early next year. We are going to try making them out of StarBoard. It is a high quality version of the cutting board material. We have access to it local so picking up a huge sheet for 145.00 is easy. Rock buggies are using it now so I figure why not give it a try...

Absolutley classic line scott! :xxrotflma I did some a few times with a hawian sling . That is all you can use in the bahamas. Man it was great. Nothing like swiming around looking for the right fish. Really gives you an interesting perspective on the food chain.

I used to carry one for years, but now I only carry one on paddling trips. I just carry a Benchmade folder with half serated edge, a sharpie, and a lighter. If I need more then that I'm probably screwed anyway without parts LOL! I used to carry a small leatherman. It held up well overall but...

Those are very popular down under. Keep in mind that they make your fridge/freezer work hard for a long time till they get cought up.

Well due to my crazy summer/fall I haven't had time to do anyhting to the truck. It looks like I will be getting 1-2 days a week off again starting next weekend OH YEA! First project is the electrical system. I'm building a bed box with my optimas, battery isolator, fuse panel for accessories...

Hey scott have you any idea what the cost of shipping the vehicles back is gonna run. Just workng on putting together my budget. I think I am going to ship my truck to AZ and fly out. Would you be willing to take delivery of my truck if I do that? On return My goal is to leave it in Cali till...

Well I have 4 Hella FF-75 lights tucked into my yakima roof basket. There is nothing sticking up and they are guarded by the racks frame. Very compact and inexpensive, but do exactly what I want. In fact the smoked lexan windscreen hides them copletely unless I flip it down.

DID you know that the Thule and Yakima tracks are the same. They get them from the same extruder LOL!

I have installed countless tracks into topper since selling racks is a big part of our sales in the shop. Just use a large fender washer on the inside you'll be fine. As was mentioned the most time is spent getting the tracks parallel. I recomend however lining them up so that the tracks will...

nice rig. Those uni's are freaking amazing.

Never put things like that in writing. It is bad luck for sure! If you do not have sliders or bumpers for a high lift you maybe better off with a large come-a-long. Hopefully you have pull point front and rear. A tree saver or 2 and a few d rings. I would also suggest some form of auxilary...

I think what has my attention is the simplicity of modifying it to fit your body. I think I wil end up modifing one of the models with a little more width to fit me better. Since you are cutting your own stations it would be simple to make them wider to scale. Seats would also be a snap. I...
