North West BS Thread

Looks damn good!

 

I’m gonna feel blind without the big mirrors though…
We’ll see. I might be on the hunt for some platinum mirrors and sell the tow ones when I get the fixed one back. The issue I’m having is pretty minor and cosmetic, but they are being cool about warrantying it

 

When you say platinum mirrors, do you mean the platinum tow mirrors? I thought about going with the tow mirrors, but ended up going with these instead: 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra Adjustable Spotter Mirror and have been very pleased. They also have a turn signal one as well - the only thing they don't offer is the auto dimming and BSM, however they are supposed to be working on the BSM+Turn Signal option.

 

I had an earlier version of those.
There aren’t “platinum tow mirrors” except to order the fully optioned Boost Auto ones that I have. I’m simply thinking out loud about finding a set of fully optioned standard size mirrors like the platinum and 1794 come with:
Power fold
BSM
Turn Signals
Heat
Puddle lights
EC/auto-dim glass

 

Woke up to a couple inches of snow in Spokane. Guess I prematurely put away all the winter gear. Had planned to bike to work today, probably not a good idea...

 

That’s still a very nice looking non-white truck!

 

Anyone in the market for steps? Took the Nfabs off as ya'll know. Come take them if you want them.

 

Next project. Just ordered the mount which will go under the driver seat. I'm not a fan of these in hot engine bay or out in the elements. This was the portable kit that came in a case. I'm converting it to a permanent setup

 

Out with the old, in with the new.

 

Have you had issues with them in the engine bay? Or just personal preference? Asking for a friend…

 

I’ve heard of issues. Think of how hot these get when being used then you’re already making them hot before use. Can’t be good for longevity.

 

Just ordered new ones…because they are swapping mine out on warranty. Had a good size spot on the passenger side that was missing the finish after a year

 

What mount is that? And what about the amp?

 

Seeing hummingbirds in the snow is weird. I believe we have 16 hanging out here now. My wife is maintaining 7 feeders

 

The mount in the pic was when it was in the arb case. Here’s the under seat mount I ordered that should be here Wednesday.

Interesting. Hadn’t seen that one. You going to run air lines out through a grommet and route to each wheel well, or just open the door and hook up to a quick connect?

 

Just pop the door and run a quick disconnect. Maybe do 4lines from https://morrflate.com/
But seems like a lot of hose to haul around.

 

I keep thinking about running dedicated tubing and putting a small reservoir under the truck somewhere.

 

yea that would slick I’ve seen some clean setups. The old man’s rig has a tank but we find it’s not as useful as we thought. So no tank for me lol.

That’s good to know. No sense spending money on things that don’t offer real Utility

 

Is it just me or is that custom fully boxed exhaust hanger sexy af..

 

As a teenager I had a friend who was a welder and owner of a big old tough dodge power wagon. He had welded up a front bumper out of 6” pipe that also served as the air tank for his on board compressor. That was a truly awesome rock crawling monster.

 

Jet Boat races this weekend just up the road. Don't think this was the weather they had in mind.

 

Most likely not, lol!

 

I probably should be more aware - which nfab steps did you take off?

 

They came with the truck when I bought it. One has a dent but other wise in decent shape.

Free to a good home lol

 

Looking at getting a Honda Foreman 4wheeler soon. Has anyone bought anything at Ride Motorsports in Woodinville before? Any other Honda shop recommendations would be appreciated!

 

Just ordered the ARB manifold from Rago. I'm pondering running a hose back to a quick-disconnect mounted in the rear bumper. That way I can reach the trailer tires without having to turn the truck around.

I know where it is but never done any business with them. They have been in that location for years, so hopefully that is a good sign.

Let me know if you want to get a beer when you come over!

 

Pulled my Desert Eagle cat plate off yesterday. It has been installed for 11 months and the hardware is pretty rusted. I’m actually surprised it came off without more trouble. Not sure it is going back on. Not happy about the bolt plates creating a rust starter inside the frame and definitely don’t want to lose access to my tranny. Grrr.
