brockeverly's build thread

[phillyd2]

Best and most ironic thread ever! :nicethread:

 

[Qjake]

PFFFT 2nd page...again

I've never seen so many replies to a build thread without a build :shrug:

 

[4ShoreRunner]

SERIOUSLY - Brock?

You started a NEW build thread when you could have just tagged on to the already started build threads?

:jk:

 

[Ducmonsta]

we're gonna put this thread into it's 5th page before brock puts ANY pics up. I'm not even going to look at the first page at this point!:snacker:

 

[DannyLlama]

Hopefully I'll make it into the 2nd page of your thread.

Its about time!!!! Now, where's the goods?! :hungry:

I'm here too, I'm getting popcorn for this non-build tread. This is the best non Build thread ive scene, as a matter of fact the ONLY one I've scene. Non-build on brock and keep not taking photos too, and for what its worth all these non photos are still better then ANTMANS anyway. :hiding:

 

[PGRunner]

The best build thread ever. Definitely DIY material. Even a caveman can do it

 

[brockeverly]

I almost feel as if I should not even add anything to it :hungry:

 

[jangoforhire]

Jesse can we add this one to the sticky? :boink:

 

[brockeverly]

Added some photos to the OP. I know there is a bunch of little stuff I have missed, and I am sure more to come. Not as descriptive as other build threads, but you get the idea for now. I will work on it a bit more later.

What the hell are you talking about? My photo's are on par with any that 'ole Brockey can take.

Check out this gem.

Bravo another prize winner, did you sink your truck then snap a photo of it under water with a non submergable camera?

Cheapest build ever!

Whoops, left the CAPS lock key on.
How about some specs on the camper? How much does is weigh and what is it like to pull with the 4R? I'm looking at getting a Forest River Rockwood HW 277. I'm thinking there is a good excuse in there to get a SC.

It is a 2011 Coleman Santa Fe Cp with a 5" lift. 1800# dry, 3000# GVWR. I will tell you this, any tent trailer with a slide out leaves very little space for cargo. If I could do it again, I would get one with a cargo deck on the front. I do not have a slide out and cannot fit all of my regular camping gear in this trailer, a highwall with a slide would never work for us. This is especially true if you camp off the grid. I find my entire rack full for off the grid camping, plus the trailer and cargo area of the truck.

As far as pulling, it is great. I am no stranger to higher RPM though. Most people that have complaints about towing in a 5th gen are just far to conservative with the throttle. I have no issue downshifting and foot to the floor to climb up the hills. An SC is on my agenda when TRD finally drops theirs, if they do it in time. If they don't then I will have a new Tundra in my garage alongside the 4R and will buy a bigger trailer at that point.
