The Transporter Build Thread and Possibly Some Adventure Shots Later.

The Baja Full Length Utility rack that I ordered last week showed up today. Southeast Overland was super helpful when I ordered, calling Baja to find out what the ship date looked like and following up with me several times to keep me in the loop so I could plan to be home for the delivery. I will definitely be ordering from them when I can.

I'm SUPER happy with the quality of the finish and the rack in general. I wanted a low-profile rack that was still strong and useful and this fits the bill.

My boys will be over tomorrow so we will have testosterone-fueled evening of wrenching and trying to avoid scratching anything expensive. Pics to follow.
 
Installed my rack last night, super happy with how it turned out. Here is a potato shot, sorry for the quality. I need a wash and some spare time at a good part of the day to get an updated vanity shot.

Before anyone asks where I got the super awesome canopy, it's DYI. I am going to mount a rack canopy when I decide which one I want, but we are camping this weekend and I needed something immediately. $25 and a few re-tied bowline knots later, I gave birth to the patented(pending) WBechiom Last Minute DYI Canopy and Awning Kit.

I don't anticipate more than a 5 to 8 month backlog for the first round of orders, and I take Paypal. :)
 
How do you like the ride of the KO2's? Significantly harsher ride going from P rated to E rated?
 
Nice start to your truck. Gonna be quite the switch from dry and hot Texas to the NW. You probably won't like it here - the beer and wine suck, to much public land, everything is green (unless You head to the east side of the state), it rains, the ocean is a 2 hour drive, our version of mountains are a 2 hour drive and the list goes on and on. One requirement - you can't root for those d**m Oregon Ducks.

I only disagree about the beer!!

Been here all my life..

I'm new to oversized A/T tires, so to be honest, I have nothing to compare them against except the car tires that came from the factory.

I am generally happy with them so far, they are quiet on the highway to the point that I can't hear them over the wind noise.
 
There's a few board members who are going to be very happy you mentioned this... especially from a "newbie,"

Welcome aboard!

Complete newbie. :)

I was super happy to find the thread, every time I decide I want to do something I find the perfect documentation from someone who has done it already and it's saved me some headaches already.
 
Can't wait to get to Oregon. Only a few weeks left before we put the Jetta on a car dolly and start driving.

Took a little break from packing and selling to destress the best way ever.

Went exploring in the snow up around Government Camp. It's neat to be able to find snow an hour away from home (and not have to live in it.) Not so neat? Busting my a** twice; once trying to scramble over a snow bank to get a better shot, and once just getting out of my truck. Nothing brings your adventuring day dreams crashing back to earth like a face full of snow and the knowledge that getting your breath knocked out at 40 takes a lot longer to recover from.
