Mike's Expedition Topper... [tack'd steel, no pics yet.]

[NorCal_Chris]

We have the Weathermaster 10. Basically just like that one but taller and bigger and with a bitchen screened porch area.

Its kinda big though 16x10. I call it the taj majal

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Ours is like yers, Chris....

But the RTT needs to be lower profile...

 

[chulisohombre]

you guys are funny.is there any progress on the top or is there just friendly banter and parts exchange goin on here?

 

[pblaze725]

Mike went to pick up the second topper this morning. There should be some progress pretty soon.

Here's my latest camping set up:




Sometimes I throw a Kelty4 on the trailer.
When I go alone I enjoy Sleeping under the stars in my hammock my friend got me from Bali. There's even a pouch for my glock (just in case).

At dremu's with Issaam, all loaded up...
We're discussing cartoons, computers, and old shows.

Fawesome!!!

Eating bomb ass burritos at a taqueria, with Issaam, and Dremu.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Should be headed home soon.

Should be headed home soon.

God, it's like friggin Twitter. Is THAT what you were doing while we were waiting on lunch? Kids these days

Regulatory pix follow. This was apparently Mike's first parts pilgrimage, so he's now in awe of us old farts with piles of crap and how we stack trailers...

"There's some doors" turned into six, in fact, two hoods, a fender, and other assorted bits, not all of which are pictured, all in addition to the hardtop that spurred this incident

But they stack neatly in a trailer:

You mean you DON'T want to ride on the back seat? Yes, it got strapped down later.

And a Blazer top fits neatly, sideways, on the Tundra's bed.

Iceman packed the bed and the trailer in the right order, so that he can just unhook the trailer and drive off with his half of the load, leaving Mike to unload his part.

And my yard is empty and we moved my trailer so I can mow under it, yay!

[desertrat67]

So, the whole front yard was under the trailer?

 

[dremu]

Thppt. The front yard is that small, yes (and needs mowing, again) ... but this was the side yard / parking lot =))

westfalia top on a cherokee

Looks interesting, but I'm not brave (foolish?) enough to cut the roof out of a unibody.



I guess the upside is that you can get some extra flex if the suspension is maxed out.

Look....
A 26 yr old, only has SO MUCH relevant info, to add to you old farts conversations....
That's why I updated this thread, like a damn twitter account...

I totally had a blast, and yes.... I was awe-struck....
Then, we took it all with us!

Thanks for a helluva day, my first pilgrimage for Square body parts, and some great burrito's!
You and Issaam are wise beyond your year's....

That's why It's so hard to keep up....




How we arrived...
*My Tundra, Isaam's trailer.

How we left!

I don't know who the hell these two are....

But, one of 'em did this...

I didn't take pics of the burritos.... Sorry.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Yea... If anybody's wondering;
A blazer top fits perfectly, sideways, on the bed of a '00-'06 Crew cab Tundra.

Eh, I'll take a little respect to your elders =))

It was good fun and I'm obliged to both of you for your help in my organizing project. Donno it's so good for Iceman's side though

Anyway, get on with your building a camper top for the top so that this is back to tech and not yapping

Had to take the wife out for drinks....
Gonna Remove the windows, and rough chop the new top, tomoro.

Maybe even fab the swing over mechanism...

More irrelevance.

 

[imiceman44]

Good times were had, and this trip actually will make my yard a bit cleaner in a day or 2.

Can't figure out what I am talking about?
Wait for updates.
