I wish you weren’t across the country, I don’t know what it would take to get it to the Seattle area.

Full Force Metalworks is making the bumper for me, it’s made out of aluminum and will only weigh about 60lbs! It will have a winch Mount and fog light mounts with recovery points as well! I’m excited to get it all done and put on! (Photo from FFM website)

Very little, I had to hammer my pinch welds flat when I Lifted it and there is a very small spot on the front but only at a certain angle will it rub. Otherwise no issues! I’ll have a big update in a couple months, getting a custom winch bumper built now!

I decided to try a new mount because the ram pod I universal mount I had never fit right in my car. I purchased a Panavise in dash mount that bolts in behind my radio trim and only has a 2" x 2" square mount sticking out. I used my ram mount parts I already had and got it set up quick. Since...

Here are a couple pics from my vacation to MT. We drove Skalkaho Hwy to Philipsberg MT to stop in the Sapphire mine out there and sift for sapphires. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I'm excited for these! I can't wait to get a NW version with my number on it! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

You should check out my build thread. As for recommendations I'd contact Anderson Design & Fabrication for a lift kit, Primitive Racing makes a good set of skid plates (front,mid,rear) as for your slider dilemma it's either lift and get sliders or cut and replace with steel 2x2 or 2x4. Really it...

I use Snow Peak utensils, I have a full set of full size sporks and I have a set of carry on chopsticks and a short spork that fit together in the chopsticks holder. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Welcome, I'm in Federal Way. Looks like a good start and I hope the trailer project turns out great for you! I've always wanted a trailer set up but my rig is not meant to tow a base camp trailer. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Good stuff! I use 2 or 3 ram mounts now and will be adding more! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Before and after my 4" lift kit and new tires and wheels. A day at the beach. As it sits now. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I have an old aluminum military med case I use for storage, I haven't tried it on my roof rack yet but I'm sure it would fit well and it has a good rubber seal. I use a pelican 1550 for my tool box as well. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I know it's a long ways away but when we visit family in Montana we visit Gem Mountain sapphire mine. Maybe there is a place local to you that's a working mine still? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I've got a 2013 Subaru Forester and it's been a great vehicle so far with the upgrades I've done to it. If I had to start over I'd probably go with a Toyota 4Runner or a LR 110. I think both would be a fun build and capable rig. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
