Went and got my CB "boosted" today. Basically supahcharged! Got the info from a local TW member to head to this little CB store/diner/icecream parlor and use the code word boosted.




Reinstalling I already have great reception on the Weather Band

If that's the White Dotte at 38 & 206 I hope you got some ice cream while waiting, they make some tasty cold treats.

Another Sunday done right

 

Your setup is awesome. Is your awning the 6' or 8' wide model? I'm looking to get one for the beach too. I'm having trouble finding someone that has them in stock though. They seem to be back ordered everywhere.

 

Chux, what color did you end up ordering on your wet okoles? I've been looking to do something with the #9 "Oliver Green" and yours is about the closest I've seen yet to that color.

 

Thanx Dude! I got the middle size of the awning family, it's actually 6.5'. That's surprising you can't find them, they're everywhere. Just have to keep an eye out for the best price. I actually bought mine over this past winter when I came across a super low price on Carid, a few days later it was taken down. Not sure if it was a mistake or they were just selling them off but it was unavailable on the site after a couple days. Either way I got it, then it sat off the truck for 3 months till I had my cap basket made. Mounting it on the tallest part of the truck is key and it's truly ideal for the beach!

 

I have black with oliver green piping. I thought it would be more "military" olive green like an olive drab but it's more of a crayon olive green. It's not that bad as an accent to the black. I'm looking to match it with rears soon.

 

Here's a pic.



Another thing to was the logo I got was a totally different color than the piping. Kinda the color I was looking for the piping to be.. but they are def a great seat cover.

 

Really love your truck man. Very nicely done!!

 

I'm a little surprised the logo is so much different. With a description of "Oliver Green" I was expecting an olive drab like you were also.

I've been considering doing a wet okole setup with green as "inside" color (no piping) which leaves black on the "outside" of the seat. I feel like that might work out with that color you posted. It's tough though to tell since I'm trying to roughly match it to Spruce Mica (near impossible)

 

That'll look slick with a spruce green truck!

 

That looks awesome.
I need to go stop by that place and see how much they are over here.

 

I bought a set 2 years ago when I discovered TW that was the same as the set your describing. Again I'll say the "Oliver Green" is more of a crayon cartoony forest green than an OD military green if that makes sense. I ended up selling them to get tires. I do remember talking to the woman at Wet Okole and she said the Oliver Green matches well with the FJ green. I think shesright, the FJ has that flat forrest green "crayon" color and the Spruce Mica is darker and also changes color in different light. I don't wanna persuade you, this is just my experience and my opinion.

Local pick-up FTW
