    I skied at sunrise ski resort last weekend -93" base. Then back home to the desert floor and temps in the 70's best of both worlds :). Just gotta figure out a plan come July/Aug

    Thanks again for the help with the UcA's - truck is running great.
    Relentless rear should be here soon :)

    That's what I love about AZ

    We do have lakes to wakeboard but I think you would need a wetsuit because those lakes are fed with snowpack. It's worth a visit to Check it out ;)
    But come summertime no wetsuit needed :)

    Went to start on vinyl wrapping my flares today, started with one just to see if its the way I want to go because of the amount of effort. I cleaned up my cuts, sanded the edges nice and smooth, washed, and removed all the platidip. Removing plastidip when it doesn't have a thick coating is a pita. Well spent about an hour or so prepping the one flare and go to apply vinyl and it wouldn't stick at all, I'm guessing it has to do with the material. So if I want to wrap them it looks like ill have to paint and clear them so I have a better surface to work with, so now I'm wondering if its really worth it.

    But I did get something done, the door grab handle bolt snapped off a while back ago so I chased it out and put the handle back on so the interior isn't looking broke

    Next time spray wd40 on the plastidip then use a pressure washer.

    And is it may yet:turtleride:
