North West BS Thread

Added a Hi Lift jack to the Ranger as my buddy used his to save my bacon after popping beads on the front tires.

 

Just installed the OEM remote tailgate lock. Can't wait for the canopy to show. The canopy lock will also be integrated into the factory FOB so everything will lock and unlock all together. Game changer for me during fishing and hunting.

 

The tailgate lock is a great addition. Gets old having to use the key to lock and unlock.

 

I installed my tailgate lock and will do the same canopy lock integration when I order my canopy ... been waiting for canopy supplies to loosen before I order. Which did you order?

 

I ordered the Snugtop Rebel over 2 months ago. The price was ridiculous compared to what they "normally" go for but I'm not so sure prices will return any time soon and I wanted to make sure I have the canopy for hunting season. It was supposed to arrive already so hopefully it gets here soon.

 

I had a canopy on my last truck and tying in the lock to the truck fob was definitely a game changer. One and Done

 

I hope it arrives soon and is a quality build. That’s what I had on my last truck and it was a giant POS.
Snugtop charges a premium for their products already. I hope you didn’t get charged an arm and leg over their already high prices

 

Man I hope so too. My biggest concern was maintaining a dry bed. I searched a few forums and many people said Snugtop was the best at keeping moisture out. I did pay an arm and a leg but it seems the entire canopy market (like everything else right now) is out of control 'because COVID'.

 

Have your installer put weather stripping down between the bed and canopy before installing. That was the trick my last place did and it was awesome. Zero water intrusion even after long freeway drives in heavy rain. Two other canopies from other dealers (including a different Snugtop) didn’t and they leaked.

 

Happy long weekend Friday

 

First cook on the new grill tonight. Just doing some simple chicken, but looking forward to it. Smoking it for 30 min before actually cooking.

cheers

 

Canopy installer on my 2001 Tundra asked if I’d be removing the canopy often. I said “no” and he installed some kind of weatherstripping. ARE Zseries and I never had a single leak in 7 yrs before I sold it.

 

One margarita down so far. Got the fire started before deciding on drink number 2…

 

Took the nut punch earlier today and ordered the sliders. Now it is 6-12 weeks of waiting.

 

Noice. The wife wants a fire too. Better check if they are still outlawed here. Cops will show up for that chit.

Waiting…lame.

 

It’s too hot down here for one today.

 

They still allow backyard fire pits here. Just no brush burning or yard debris burns. It helps that I am in County area between two city limits. Usually means less restrictions.

 

Funny, my watch says it is 81 still but it feels way cooler right now.

 

Cheers

 

Stage 2 lifted yesterday! It’s game time

 

It’s strange here. Some smoke in the air and feels stuffy outside.

 

What is that thing?

 

Same?

 

Wood pellet pit?

 

Won’t all the pellets go up at once or is there a damper?

 

Great minds

Chillin at a friend's house in Castlerock.

 

Would appear so but I’d never heard of such a thing

 

I’ll be in Longview tomorrow at my BIL’s

 

Me neither, but a pellet fire is better than no fire at all.

 

Me as well. Let’s see that lit up more.
