    Back in the 70's we used to get Mad Magazine once in awhile and one of the margin illustrations showed what happens when a comb over goes water skiing. Glad you draw the line at a hat.

    60 and falling apart. First, prostate cancer @ 53. Then kidney cancer s 57. Then a diagnosis of early stage Parkinson's s 59. Now pulmonary fibrosis @ 60.

    So....losing most of my hair by 45 is "back burner".... Not a concern.

    You Can't let self pity win. Push yourself. Use pain and fear as motivation. Pride is an anchor. You only get one shot at this. Don't take yourself out of the game in the 3rd quarter. Play to the final buzzer.

    When I started getting thin on top I just sprinted to the finish line and beat nature to it by shaving it all off. Keep my beard and shave my head each morning. It's working for me and my girlfriend likes the look on me.

    Last year an eBay seller was linked that was doing them for $80 with free shipping and I grabbed one. Love it, as previously mentioned things don’t slide around anymore and it has dampened a little bit of the noise back there.

    When I think about it, I shoulda been dead a long time ago. Been laid up for a spell now & it doesn't agree with me. Very difficult to get the old head straight but nothing changes my attitude like gratitude. Just grateful to be here today, that's all.

    The daylight pic shows a cheap switch from China. Lettering is bigger than the others (AOB switches). It got refunded because one of the tabs was broken when it got here (epoxied it back in place) and the emblem/words were upside down on the switch and that caused its lighting pattern to be wrong.
    The night pic are all AOB switches.

    Nice!
    Looks really familiar. If you come up with a solution to put in both support rods for the widow awning against the back of the cab, let met know!

    I didn't get a good close-up pic on mine, but you can see the lack of tension here:

    No, those came on mine when I bought it. I've got sliders on order with BAMF, so these will be up for sale once I put the sliders on.

    Haha, that was my thought too. Drill a hole at a different angle, and probably chop off a bit of the rod.

    Ya I think that’s going to be the best option. But I have explored or thought about it much
