Fishwerks' Photo/Build Thread

You two make such a great couple and it was awesome to be there and see the excitement the both of you shared.

Stoked for both of you guys!
 
Ooooohhh so fancy, Stealth 6 or what?

Also, did you ever figure out your CB issue? Running into a similar issue and I can't figure it out at all!

F-5s!

And yes I did figure out the CB issue. First, I am a dumbass and my lock washer was installed on the wrong side of the mount. After fixing the washers on the mount, running new coax (not necessary but I wanted to re-do it anyways), checking the ground at the radio and at the antenna mount with a multimeter, and swapping the microphone the only thing left was the radio itself.

I swapped radios with a buddy turns out the radio was fried, you could hear the mic key in, but no audio would come through. Must have been fried from running high SWR for too long before I actually did any troubleshooting. I bought an SWR meter too so that I could tune the antenna myself. The first time around I paid a dude at a CB shop $15 dollars to 'tune' it and I don't think he ever got it right.

Here is the website that I found troubleshooting information on - http://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/learning-center
 
Just got mine the other day too. Getting them wrapped with 255 ST Maxxs and should be on the truck next week.

Hell yeah, I've been looking at the Coopers for my next tire. I'll get your opinion on them when it comes time for new ones.

Those wheels are super lame dude :flipoff:

If I get anymore buyer's remorse they will be yours haha

Bro! Ditchin the bead-locks brah?

Dude.

Bruh I quit blowing beads on the parking lot curbs so I figured I'd ditch them.

Great thread! I wish I saw this earlier. Lots of good tips for my upcoming Moab trip.

Thanks man! Have a good time in Moab, I'm jealous. Are you going for the taco meet or what?

Nice work on the video! The editing was sweet, the shots were great!

It sure looked like that tire carrier was going to be ripped off more than once..
 
So, I watched the Moab video, and it was pretty good. I can't believe the amount of rocks that are stacked on the obstacle you filmed going up the big hill at the end of Kane Creek. WHOA! It was not like that the last time I ran the trail.

After the Moab video I found my way to the New Zealand video. You lucky SOB. Why are you holding out on the pictures of the hog browns??? That looked like the trip of a lifetime.

[MENTION=95069]TBuzz[/MENTION] was saying the same thing. We were all dreading it because it made it sound like it was going to be interesting getting us through and then we got there and it wasnt too bad at all due to all the rocks. Chris (fishwerks chris) actually went up the obstacle to the left of that big wall, where it tips you towards the cliff. Definitely sketch

Thanks Chris! And thanks for the congrats, the proposal made the trip that much better.

Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback! And yeah we didn't take it too easy on the trucks this trip.

Thanks for the feedback Nick! Like Tyler mentioned below, when we pulled up all those rocks were there. It must have gotten pretty dug out.

New Zealand was awesome! That was from a trip in 2012. We went back again in January of this year, I should have that video done in a few weeks. Some pictures of this last trip below just for you...

Good thing there is no photo evidence of that sketchiness, pause not.

Holy monster trout, batman! Look at the shoulders on that first one your brother is holding! :shocked: I must say I'm a little jealous. NZ and Patagonia are at the top of my dream list... along with Ontario/Quebec for big brookies... the UP in Michigan for steelhead/lake run browns... and let's not forget Kamchatka.

Nice work, Chris! You guys must be good with the sticks as I've heard those NZ trout are spooky.
 
What did you have to post those pictures for???How am I to stick to my plan and focus now?:heh: I thought i was holding out with some big fish pics but Man are beautiful. Such clear water...what size bugs and dig your guide tie them, did you sight fish to them?

I am almost positive Nick and I went up to the outside as well bc the rocks weren't there and it was much different. I'll have to checks the pics later, I could be wrong.
