    Do you know the wind speed you had? I was out in the mountains of Death Valley this weekend with a view of the Sierras the wind got up to about 20 mph!

    Hey guys, my neighbor is a fabricator and he is working on a rack. He finished his Silverado prototype and currently adding new options to it. He took measurements of my tundra and hopefully I can soon have one of those bad boys. I know you can mount things on both side of the rack, there is an optional 14 gallon water storage within the rack with connections to showers and bunch of other electronics. Not sure of the cost yet.

    The wind speed was ridiculous. I would say 40-50mph gusts.

    BORA and Spidertrax are the agreed-upon exceptions to the rule. And < 2”.

    That’s a beautiful rack!
    I fell in love as soon as I read 14 gallons of hot shower! :broccoli:...

    ... but then I did the math and realized it’d be far more weight than Hulk can carry flying. Too much for any off-road driving maybe. But it’s a beautiful rack!

    Wow, that's nuts!! I figured it would be like that up there! Hope you still had a fun trip, looks beautiful despite the wind and cold! We are planning a trip out that way in August through Coyote Flats, etc.

    Do you know if your friend will build for double cabs, or only for CrewMax? It is beautiful, looks well-thought-out, and I’m looking forward to seeing it on your truck. :thumbsup:

    Both as long as he had the measurements. The rack itself is lighter than competition and you don't have to fill it up with all 14 gallons. One of the options is water filtration built in so when you get to your camping location, you can fill it up at the spot. I'm a newbie and can't talk about it the way he can so I will ask him to maybe do a write up and I will post it here. He pretty much studied 30 different racks and combined some features together and added stuff he thought it would be useful. He lives on the next block from me and I saw his silverado transform from stock boring looking truck to this and I walked over there and started talking to him one day. I am glad I did.

    You still have it?? Wow, you really don't see them anymore. 4g63 was nearly bulletproof for me.

    They are pretty bulletproof as long as you eliminate the balance shaft. I’d love to buy and build a 1st gen GSX or Talon TSI. It would be a fun sleeper commuter car.

    Cool to see so many prior DSM guys in here. Thats rad! And even by todays standards a solid mod list! Used to have a built 91 prior to this one, Made 325+ at 20psi without a real tune and would destroy my buddys '67 mustang with built 347 stroker everytime :wave:

    Current one has 950cc injectors, speed density, FMIC, 272's, 3" turbo back, AFPR. Slowly coming together, but trying to keep the "stock" motor appearance other than the FMIC and piping.

    I also just saved this thing from going to the crusher, 89 Mirage, has the 4G61 (1.6 turbo) that is the smaller bore/shorter deck version of the 4G63, same head and all. 4G63 bolts right in along with the 2.0L ecu.

    @Sunnier drove down the 86 north coming from the 8 and it was 90 degrees at 9pm by the salton sea. Hopefully the weather isn’t that hot for Anza.

    Yeah, yesterday was really hot, but weather is so crazy now, can’t predict. Here it was in the 90’s Thursday and Friday, mid 70’s yesterday, and cool and raining today. Same over at the Grand Canyon: snowed Tuesday and Wednesday, then high 90’s Thursday on....

    We’ve got a big group though, so Anza’s the only place with space enough and camping. Gotta hope the crazy weather works in our favour.

    I'm sure we can crowdfund an above ground swimming pool and find someone with a water truck.

    Isn't that the same as a Colt? I always wanted a Galant Vr-4, but the Eclipse took all my money and when I got out of the DSM game I never went back. Found other money pit opportunities.

    This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyways. For those running 17-in wheels where do you mount balance weights on the wheel? It seems like there's not enough space to mount them in the standard locations due to the caliper being so close to the wheel.

    That can be a problem. You do have to mount weights to clear the caliper. Some wheels work better than others. Our NorCal Bastrd buddies are pretty knowledgeable... i.e. have purchased enough to know. :spending:
    @831Tun will you please share your knowledge here?
