    Thanks! It’s been quite awhile since I have been engulfed with schooling, but I am getting back into it. Here’s the list of parts that are sitting in my basement waiting for the spring/summer: ratcheting bed supports, rear seat delete project, some temp storage up on the rack, louder horn, replacement flares, and a few others. Additionally, I would like to throw a snorkel on before I get into the Arizona dust. Should be a good summer.

    Ended up putting in a deck in the back seat area. I had pulled my seats out awhile back when messing around with something, and realized I never even noticed or cared that they were not back in. In fact looking back, I think I have only had people in the back seat two or three times in nearly 7 years. So it was time for a change!

    edit: if you ever want to sell a kit, give me a shout

    I’m not sure how easy a kit would be, as I was trimming things down centimeters at a time to fit. The easiest way would be to take some rough measurements and then trim for you space. That said, some of my cuts are tougher than they look, but wood filler and sanding will make a professional out of anyone.

    Some decent weather here today in Nebraska, so I tried to knock out a few small projects in preparation for the upcoming road trip to Arizona. Nothing super fancy, but I figured it was better to install it than give up space for the move by carrying it. Spacer for the front seat, some replacement caps on the tires, +15hp gas cap holder, and a temporary camera out the back since I have completely blocked the use of my rear view mirror with the pile of stuff for an upcoming trip.

    Small teaser for what’s coming. @no vtec 4me is doing some mad scientist that work that will be coming in a few weeks!

    Another big update from @no vtec 4me. Looks like we will be ready to roll here soon!




    Since I had a couple message and ask already, I will snag pictures when swapping the lights to show the process.

    Been playing catch up on some of the mods that have been in boxes for months and months. I put in the BDRM mount from @oostroma and I am really glad I did. I have been rocking the hondo garage vent mount for years, and it has been rock solid. But I always missed the vent control in that spot. The BDRM is nice and rigid, and form fits perfectly.

    Next on the list was a quick MESO mod with an overhead rack. I really like the look, and I would like to build an electrical panel up there, but I need to figure out the weight allowances of the the mounts before that can happen.
