Fishwerks' Photo/Build Thread

[Fishwerks]

Moab video is done. This was my first video edit, and I didn't shoot any of the footage. Feel free to toss up opinions on the editing. I'd also follow the link to vimeo so you can watch it in HD!

Great job putting that together! Could have fooled me being your first video edit-
Looks like an Awesome trip, thanks for sharing!

We definitely need more videos like this here on T4R.ORG-

Nice job and thanks for taking time to put that together...Was it all gopro and point and shoot footage? Also that wall at 3:50 looks quite steep

Thanks man! Agreed on the videos.

Thanks! All video was GoPro, the photos were either from the gopro, a Sony NEX-5, or a Canon 40D. 3:50 is at the bottom of Launch Pad on Golden Spike, it's super steep! Not difficult, but scary to look at.

I made my way up into the hills over the weekend and wanted to share some pictures.

I finally built drawers for the back of the rig after sitting on the material for a couple months. This was the first trip I took with them, it's nice having all the junk I drive around with organized and out of the way. The drawers make it easy to access everything too. They aren't finished (see duct tape handles ha), I need to figure out what I want to do for drawer pulls/latches, add some eye bolts and turnbuckles on each corner, and finish them by either staining/painting or covering them with carpet/rubber/vinyl sheets. Not sure what I will do, but I'm leaning towards carpet because it's cheap and easy to slide gear over.

I'm happy with them so far, although the dog kennel is about 1/2" too long now that it hits the seat higher, so I have to slide the kennel in sideways. That was the only oversight I had in the planning stage. They are built out of 3/4" pine plywood for the drawer boxes and most of the frame. The bottom of the frame is 1/2" pine plywood. Both drawers are full-length and ride on 36" full extension drawer slides with a 250lb rating.

I like your patagonia sticker :thumb:

 

[EatonKyleH]

Lookin good man! Did you go over both wheel wells or just the left with the top?

And where oh where did your rear bumper go?

Thanks Kyle! The top is cut to match the cargo area on both sides, not perfectly as I'm not that skilled with a reciprocating saw, but good enough.

Bumper is sitting on my kitchen table waiting to go back on. Hit it with some bedliner finally.

 

[GSPRunner]

We have a lot in common! Badass 4Runners, GSPs, Benelli's and Patagonia!

 

[GSPRunner]

How does that sub sound installed in the rear cargo compartment? I ditched my box because it took up too much room.

 

[Mahalas]

Nice vid man, very well put together.
What you use for editing?

 

[Fishwerks]

I love it. Plenty of bass and doesn't take up any room. I had the box built and sub installed by Car Toys, so I can't give you any useful info on volume of the box or anything. But I'd recommend it.

Thanks! iMovie because it came on my laptop and it's easy to use/learn.

Thanks Bro, I'll inquire about it with my local stereo shop.

 

[Fishwerks]

No updates to the build, I can't justify garage time when the mountains are calling, and I'm happy with where the truck is right now. Although I'd love to ditch my bro wheels for some SCS F-5s

Your 4Runner is looking great man! Those pictures are awesome and you have some beautiful dogs. Glad the 4Runner is at a good place for you and it is getting used as it was designed! Can't wait for more pictures.

Thanks! I should have some more photos soon, it is summer after all. Time to get out there.

Got a Yeti cooler arty:

Tried to go camping this weekend…but my dog found some pot someone dumped (I'm guessing in an edible) at the campsite and got so high he couldn't stand without swaying or walk correctly. We had to run him to the vet at like 9:30, so the Hellas came in handy to bomb back down to town. Only managed to snap a few photos.

Nice pictures man. It is a good thing to know you had those tires and locker for that rough looking road, haha. Hope your dog is doing alright, that is messed up that that happened to y'all.

 

[1blink]

Did the vet do anything? I imagine he would have been just fine, get him some munchies and let him sleep it off.
