North West BS Thread

I would use Steelit. It’s used a lot in offroad and fabrication applications. I recently used it on a few parts and it’s held up well to offroad abuse. It dries and lays super evenly also.

 

Thanks Rainman!

 

If anyone's looking for a RTT we've got a family member here locally selling their tent. It's been used once. I can get more info if someones interested.

 

Do you know what model and price?

 

Let me find out and get back to you.

 

Ok, so I spaced it last night after responding. I’ll get some measurements tonight.

 

Asking $2200

 

Thanks for the information.

 

4” center to center on the bolts

slightly over 6” overall (the tape is straight but looks crooked in the picture - I double checked)

2” wide at the ends

1-5/8” across in the middle

holes are about 9/16” and fit tight on the bolts (which are actually metric - 14mm I’m pretty sure)

 

Thanks!

 

Well I just stumbled upon a smoking deal on hard flip tonneau cover. Anyone in the market for a soft flip one? I'll be selling mine since I'm picking this one up after work lol.

 

Received the ARB Mount. So here's a quick rough mockup. I need to have an airline made to do it right as one end needs to be straight rather than a 90. This project will have to wait until I'm back in town unfortunately. Or I make a 90 from the Chuck. Hmm

 

On today’s random smokin deal find. Scored a bakflip mx4 for $250 lol great shape too.

 

Any ideas for getting the nut off the plastic gas tank skid bolt?

Managed to round it bit. Sucker won’t budge and most of tools are now on their way to Austin. Was hoping to bolt on my RCI skid but nut won’t come off. Worried I cross threaded it when I reinstalled the skid after my slider install months ago.

 

Great deal! Looks good.

 

Assuming you can't get to the other side of the bolt with a wrench to hold it?

 

Nope. It’s basically a stud coming from the tank strap. Going to pickup up some PB Blaster this morning and soak it. Hoping it just is seized up a bit so I can try again later today.

 

Liquid wrench if PBlaster does not work. Small pipe wrench with extension or maybe try vice grips first.

 

Determined to get this off one way or another.

 

Sucky situation but like when it gives you an opportunity to buy new tools.

 

Good luck! When in doubt cut it out lol

 

Problem is most of my tools are in my tool chest in the back of this truck. Trying to make due with what I have in my small travel tool bag. This was supposed to be an easy on and off mod! If I could simply go buy a new tank strap I’d be tempted.

 

Let me know if you need anything feel free to come by and borrow whatever. I'm in Beaverton. Except a drill my makita took a shit during my linex prep lol

 

War is over! Lost the first few battles but I won. Skid plate installed and clears the frame clamp bolts from my sliders.

Can’t get the deformed nut out of the socket but I can deal with that later.

 

Thanks for the offer! I was going to start asking for anyone local to help if this latest effort didn’t pan out.

 

Pics of the final install.

 

Looks good!

 

Looks great.

 

No calls
No emails
No warnings
My CBI rear bumper arrived today at our warehouse in Portland.
I barely ordered it a month ago.

Now I need to find a place to coat it…

 

Thinking powder coating or are you thinking bedliner?
