Author Message   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Monday, September 09, 2002 - 05:49 pm:    Does anyone have a Trek Outfitters Light Bar and have pictures of it? The light bar is this one http://www.trekoutfitters.com/extra/rraccess/lightbar.htm I'm just curious how it looks after spending most of the day Saturday getting the crap beat out my lights and GPS antenna. thanks pwc   theJekyll Posted on Monday, September 09, 2002 - 06:25 pm:    Peter, Look at Frank Rafka's photo gallery, he has the light bar you are talking about. Brian   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Monday, September 09, 2002 - 07:39 pm:    Great, thanks. pwc   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Monday, September 09, 2002 - 11:03 pm:    Man, I know I don't want to ask this question... How was it on Saturday? Go ahead, poor salt in the wounds. Todd   Jeremy Katka (Jkatka) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:28 am:    Good trip, It was Peter, Robert and myself. Damage was minor (all me) and we only had to do one recovery (Peter) and in general had a good time! 3 willow green rovers is probly an uncommon site. Next time you will have to be there. JK   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:36 am:    What sort of damage did you end up with Jeremy? I hate it when that happens... I really need to get some of Dee's guards. Todd   Jeremy Katka (Jkatka) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:54 am:    ahh well dumb shit move, heh. I bent in the front bumper a bit... It is really hard to tell that I did it until today when I tore off the front bumperette and licence plate holder that was "half" on. I also bent one of the sway bar mounts on the passanger side.... backed into a rock that "I didn't see." Nothing major JK   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 01:04 am:    Todd, I've still got mud and water under my front carpets but not that bad. Wish we had a picture of the two stock Willows pulling me out. Some pics can be found at http://www.pazoodle.com/4x4/9-7-02/ Jeremy's new nickname is "Honker". I only caught it on tape once, but the dude honks all the time when stuck... pwc   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:03 am:    peter , the trek thing is hideous, i am begging you , dont do it.. the antenna and lights are strong, they can handle it... rd   Moe (Moe) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:06 am:    How will Rob feel seeing his pride and joy sitting in a mudhole, going nowhere.   Dave Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:29 am:    Besides, $200+ for a bar that attaches to your roofrack...that's absurd.   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:31 am:    Oh, yea. You guys would have been pulling me and my stock tires out of that. Hmmm... I seem to recall someone saying something about looking forward to the opportunity to try out the winch pulling a stock Disco out. Todd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 02:45 pm:    Matt, He's already seen the picture. I'm sure if I still had Pikachu I could have made it. That mud stuff is SLICK. Dave, You may think it's absurd, but after getting my lights and antenna (which isn't cheap and easy to replace at least for the Lowrance) bashed around, and realizing that if I had limb risers it would only help direct the limbs right into the lights, well, I don't mind so much. If you can make the same thing for less, I'll buy it off you. Rob, I cracked one of the lights already. If I ever get really nice lights on there I don't want them busted. You think it looks bad, but I don't and I own it, neaner, neaner. pwc   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:37 pm:    yes, that's why am begging you not to. maybe you just need to learn how to drive rd   Moe (Moe) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:42 pm:    Peter, how about setting up some sort of quick release system where you can pull the lights down for the West Cascades and up for when you travel to the east, or to more open areas. I wouldn't make the system 'too' quick to release, as it will disappear especially en mi barrio. So Rob has seen the pics . . . but do you think he'll approve of the extraction technique? 3 willow green discos--strapped together in a train--would have been quite a sight   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:51 pm:    Three guys alone in the woods making a train? Gee, sorry I missed it. "Not there's anything wrong with that." Todd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:52 pm:    Twasn't a train, twas two willows side by side jerking the....errrrr.....never mind. And the quick release idea sounds like more work than the bar. It's like having to go back to locking my hubs when I want 4x4 action. I'm all about lazy. And Rob, even Jeremy's stock rig was hitting the branches on this trail. See, we have these things out West called "mountains" and....oh never mind again. You're all making me want to buy the thing just to piss you off now. pwc   Moe (Moe) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 06:17 pm:    That Unibrow will be catching every damn branch on the trail, while the lowered and hacked JK mobile sneaks by unscathed   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 06:32 pm:    You could mount one of these over you lights to protect them. Think of it, aerodynamic and protective. Damn I wish I had Photoshop. Todd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 06:36 pm:    I'm fuckin' buyin' one now.... pwc   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:49 pm:    eh,, buy the snorkle, that will protect one light. you need to buy quailty lights too. not some pep boys clearance junk, they were probably cracked when you bought em.. like i said, you learn to drive an you will be fine, mountain or no mountain. god i fear to see what else you will break in the comming years rd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 09:21 pm:    You're all saved. In my blind fury I ended up buying my wife some diamond stud earrings instead. Good news for her and good news for you. Next time I'm where we were at Rob, I'll take some pictures. You can't avoid branches by "learning to drive". Some places around here, that's like telling someone to not get their rig wet when driving in the rain. Or should I say, it's like telling you to not get scratches on the side of your truck by learning to drive. One day I will have a nice set of lights, but that needs to wait for the "Master Rewiring Plan" which includes putting a master light switch next to the cruise control (to kill all the lights at once, rather than individually) and then mounting light switches where the stereo controls are in the dash. Plus other electrical buffonary. Oh the plans....   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 09:50 pm:    yes, good thing there is a solid basis of high quality wire abound i am wanting to relocate my radio to under the coin tray as there seems to be room and it will be more accessable. in it's place i want to laid down somethink like the switches shown here but not with the writing and other shit. like you said, have the master kill [on the left] wopuld be a home maid version but i think it will turn out well and be pretty cheap. i just wish the fucking car would chill out and quit leaking so i can toss the money at it in ways off modifications. ah well rd scratches will rub out, my opinion of that trek think wont.just slow down.   RJ Clayton (Tozovr) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 04:49 pm:    Going slow sometimes just makes the scratches deeper LOL. Another way to look at it would be do you REALLY need lights there?   Dan Cronin Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 06:51 pm:    Hey, I know; Have Dan fab something up for you! I hear he's a fabrication whore! Will Fab for building materials!   Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:43 pm:    Dan I knew you when you were just an aspiring whore... Hell make my Plugs and ill give you my Home Depot card.. LOL   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:36 am:    I guess I should meet you some time then Dan. Although if you start calling yourself a whore after a few beers, I fear what you make. Make me something that looks like the Trek bar. If possible, find out what Rob hates most about it and put three of them on there. pwc   Dee Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:49 am:    Naw after a few he's just a cheep date...   Dan Cronin Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:34 am:    Hey come on! I consider myself high maintenance, goddammit! A cheap date my ass. Oh about those roof plugs.....Well, it seems my lathe operator decided to see if you really can fuse the tool turret with spinning stock in the spindle. Result: Call Cincinnati Machine for help!   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:15 pm:    Hell, I always liked the looks of it. I think it would make my rig "cute", or should I say "Even Cuter".   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:16 pm:    right on greg, that thing looks like a hair band tiara thing. LOL fucking perfect!   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:43 pm:    Fuck all y'all.   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:58 pm:      Myktoolbox (Myktoolbox) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:56 pm:    could someone fab me up some earings to hang from my side view mirrors and nipple clamps for the winch bumper?   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 04:01 pm:      Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 06:37 pm:    Dan Was that a DANGER WILL ROBBINSION DANGER... Hum I remember a young Apprentice Machinist who was good at nicking the chucks... do I need to come up there and kick his ass... Yeah with my back right LOL   Dan Cronin Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 10:13 am:    OK, "Woody" Ha ha ha. What a freakin' freak he was. Oh I was just lamenting about the time you were attemping to make a certain 20-some inch shaft from Monel for a said fuel-oil strainer on the mighty war pig. How many did you have to make before you got a good one? I do remember the fucking thing sticking out of the chuck about 2 miles and when you went to put some o-ring grooves in it the thing kept buckling like a toothpick. No, I can't remember shit, hey?   Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 12:22 pm:    LOL, should have been there on the Simon Lake when I slung a 24" dia chunk of Copper Nick out of the chuck. Taking a 3/4" depth cut and the tail support broke off... That was a big time DANGER WILL ROBBINSION DANGER. the Ship thought it got torpedoed and announced GQ. Are you supposed to have 10 or 7 toes?. Who was that lamer we had that would take those .005 per pass cuts? Afraid to get his hands dirty? Initials Dan Cronin   Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:29 pm:    Dan has caved into Peer pressure (( Way to go Moe)) and is making them thar plugs..   Steve Andrews (Sillybus) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:53 pm:    Am I to discern that we have some fabrication geniouses here? Dee's diff guards are priority #1 for me but after that, I may have to put together a wish list. Who wants to be my fabrication whore? LOL   Dee Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:26 pm:    LOL, I was once called a Parts Whore on this site so now i guss ill take on the handle of Fabrication Whore...
