Hey all, I just got a new job that I am starting next week and I am extremely excited for. Tuesday I found out I am having a kid with my fiance. I am more curious on what you guys if/ when we're in similar situations in the trade what did you guys put in place or prioritize to get ready for your first kid while in the trade (we all know how crazy it gets). Also whats some advice for a new dad in the trade.
So I'm in the market for an old Toyota to do a mild build on, I found an old 81 Trekker for under 10k the frame has had some repairs done already and the body isn't show room, it needs a transmission crossmember but from what I can see they are bolt on and decently available. The only thing I've found is that the entire body on those things are fiberglass. Which probably wouldn't be great for a rooftop tent and maybe too delicate for rough logging roads etc. should I just look for a Sequoia/ 4 runner or is it worth it. Rotten 4 runners of equivalent years in my area are min 12k+
As long as you get everything lined up straight I've found the small vice grips that are round then go to a small flat section work wonderfully. You can slip the bolt through and tighten it down by hand until the vice grips fall off and tighten it down the rest with an electric ratchet. Never had one leak this way and frees up a hand
I'm installing a arvika rack to my cap, cap is a leer legend. I'm wondering if I should keep it close to the edges or move them in a bit. I will be putting aluminum plates above and below the fiberglass to sandwich it and give it more weight dispersal. It will be mostly for a canoe
Ok guys, me and my fiance are taking a road trip to St Mary's quarry for the long weekend and will be fishing the St Mary's river. I am on a mission to hook her on to a sucker/carp because she wants to recreate a fish stew she used to make with her father who passed away. She used to go here with her dad when her and her siblings were kids. I've struck out on suckers all season so far and I've been googling and youtubing ways to get one but just no Luck. Any rig suggestions for carp/sucker on the St Mary?
Thank you guys this would mean a lot to her
