    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I really wish there were more middle ground options for seat covers. It seems like the only real middle ground is the rough country seat covers (which are decent covers but I'm not a fan of neoprene because I am a sweaty teddy.) It seems like you either get $400+ custom fit or $30 Walmart tissue paper wrinkly and baggy trash with not very many quality options in between

    We put some cover craft ones in dad’s truck that are pretty nice. They are custom fit and only like $250

    Work has been nothing but chaos. Construction on our expansion is finishing up. While we had a nice organized plan to move stuff over a little at a time it turned into a mess right away.


    Glad to see the Arkansas saga is going well. I'm living vicariously through those pictures :cheers:
    I'm also realizing I have a lot to get done before Wyalusing. All set to change all my brakes next weekend with some stuff still coming in.

    Stuck to some minor projects today since I had to get taxes done and help my old man with a flat. Headed over to my older sister's for her belated birthday. Got some nice stickers in. (Not pictured is the AVS low profile window deflectors. Found a nice deal on them)

    Have you tried the Carhartt ones from Farm and Fleet? If I remember right it's about $280 all together or way cheaper when they go on sale annually. Not waterproof but they give you enough time to reach for a rag. The front seats give you Molle sections to hang stuff from the back.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    One of these things is not like the other...

    I run on the warm side myself, I have the wetokle seat covers and really like them, I find them not to warm in the summer & actually warm in the winter.

    Plus if you wear out part of the cover they will fix it for a decent price.

    Any questions just ask.

    One of these days I will remember to look at my seat covers and see what brand they actually are. I think they are Carhartt but they don't have any fancy features.

    After going from a Honda Prelude 2.0 SI (inline 4, dual overhead cams) to my 1st gen tacoma......
    I can't stand sitting that low on the road anymore.
    Can't see anything going on around you.

    Nice looking car, though, and that's what you get when you want to rip around the road vs. turning a perfectly good 4x4 into a princess.

    Can’t seem to load pictures… sorry guys. Believe me when I say this place is like nothing I have experienced in Wisconsin. Spent the day driving in creeks- so freakin cool. Want to do that back home but very sure DNR would loose their sheet! Big climb bigger descents. Rock ledges Dave made it up Mosd Hill and stayed it was one of the hardest things he has done. Just needs me to lead as I will try anything and he’s to competitive not to go…. We were looking at a route that was marked as a three with some Heepers. They weee hemming and hawing so I just went off the biggest part of the ledges. Dave, Jonathon and Dean followed. Dave had a sheet eating grin the rest of the day…. The video is great (too bad we can’t get it to you). Shower time then off to Arkansas!

    I showed these pictures to my truck. Now she's sad.

    Rock ledges look fun.
