North West BS Thread

The looks of them are close. I have the 703. There are several reasons why I like them but one is how easy they are to clean.

 

Happy Friday night all, make it a good one!


Hey @Green Thunder
Was it you that bought propane a couple weeks ago and it was really expensive?

 

Happy Friday you guys!!

Just watched both the IM lift & UCA videos. Looks like the Tundra is easier then the 4R. Still going to be a while till I have everything pieced together but research portion is done.

Not truck related but the cleats showed up. So she will have new ones for the start of next year and will be broke in for summer tournament season.

 

Those look BA!
Nike by you? Lol

 

Thanks! We started buying her bright colored cleats during the Vid. That way we could spot her from the parking lots due to field regulations.

Thats what Nike calls their custom stuff I guess. First time I have built custom colored shoes. Probably the last till she is in high school and can help pay for them lol.

 

Yeah, that was me. It was a rectal exam back then, I don’t even want to know what the price is now after all the shit this week.

 

Yes. Either right next to it down inside the bumper, or I might figure out an extension to get it up inside the grill. I’m not really sure until I actually get the thing and see

 

Yikes

It was $2.99 over here yesterday, I don't buy it enough to know if that's high or not, we only use it to BBQ.

 

Mine was closer to $5/gal

 

Damn, that's ridiculous! I wonder if the place I go to will raise the price next time they fill up the bulk tank.

 

There are a lot of city taxes here in addition to people willing to pay the higher price.

On a separate note, wife and I were having a early morning breakfast today at a local diner. Just as we paid, a trick 4R parked in front of our window. Had an AG wrap and ALL the kit. Wife noticed the BD fog lights and hidden winch with light bar. She just started rattling off items and I kept saying “Yep; want”. Unfortunately she didn’t call out the roof rack or rear bumper so I could say “nope” and sound responsible. She knows how to play the game.

 

Finally got some time to mount the accessories.

I mounted the rail offset towards the drivers side. I’ll probably move everything around a dozen times in the next few months, but happy with it for now.
The gear does hang down, but still lots of room. Keeping everything on the left keeps the right side open for things like coolers.


And sitting in the garage over a space heater is the rear lid. Keeping it nice a warm so the adhesive for the LED light cures.

 

Looks great dude!
Looking at this, I need some organization in my bed. Currently just have a plastic tote and traction boards kicking around, plus I carry my ammo can with chains in it from Nov-Mar.

 

My OCD feeds the itch for cool toys, one of which is clean organizing. I might mount a couple of ammo cans to the molle panel for misc stuff like tools and chains. Still working that out.

 

For the bottle swap service, it was $20 at one store, and $25 at most of the others…
I’m not looking forward to the next fill on our 500 gallon one (typically we only go through ~150 between fill-ups). We use it for our tankless hot water heater and our cook top.

 

That looks really slick!

 

You guys over there on the Westside getting some snow/rain already? Supposed to start in the middle of the night here.

Really glad I washed my truck and continued the clay bar, polish, and wax process on a few more panels. Needs to be done regardless and looks so much better!

 

I agree! Great job @Green Thunder. I have to admit I knew nothing of these covers when you said you ordered yours. Glad you got everything figured out and still room for tall/large items in the rest of your bed.

 

Raining here on the coast - washed the truck yesterday. We're expecting 3.5" of rain - blah.

 

My OCD agrees with your bed organizing. Nice work! Hadn’t heard of molle panels until a couple of weeks ago and now doing some research of adding one to the center console to do some organizing.

 

It was a bluebird day up on Mt. Hood through when we left the mountain at 2pm (my daughter had an appointment later today). On the way home, it was getting uglier the farther west/north we got. Started raining at about the 205 bridge and by the time we were home at 4pm it was a full downpour.

 

Truck is looking great!! Yeah rain all week here in the forecast. I’ve still got half the truck left to do for clay bar, polish and wax but will have to wait for the next sunny weekend.

 

The snow will be good to freshen up the snow on the mountains as long as it stays cold enough. Has been a while since we’ve gotten any decent amount of precipitation.

 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this

 

Spent the afternoon clamming over at seaside It was sprinkling most of the time. At home, we’re at a little under 1/2” for the day. No snow

 

The snow is picking up here, looks like a few storms will be rolling in.

 

How long does it take you to burn through 150gal at the house? Always been curious about that kind of setup for retirement.

Man, you started early. My truck was covered in tree jizz this afternoon, so I’m glad it rained. Won’t get to the detail weekend for another month.

We have another atmospheric river for the next 3-4 days

.
Nice! I have a soft panel velcro’d to my console safe for misc gear. I have an assortment of molle pouches from another hobby that I think I’ll use for tools and other items in the back of the truck…tomorrow’s project.

 

Our account only shows back the past 12 months and we had one fill-up in that time (September) of 130 gallons. I just went out and looked at the tank and it's running about 70% so that means we're about due for the next fill... basically we're using about 300 gallons a year.
Like I said earlier, we use it for hot water (tankless 200,000 BTU heater) and for our 5-burner gas cooktop. We don't use it for any fireplaces or grills or anything like that.

 

Interesting.
We have a 100% all propane house. Furnace, fireplace, water heater and stove. This last month we went through 113 gallons (@ $3.40/gal). It’s only about 3 months at this level. Average for the whole year is about 55gal/month.
On the other hand, our electric bill is rarely over $140.

 

Dude, that is some serious coin there.
