    Thanks.

    I got the others off my phone. Sorry for the crappy quality.

    My wife took a digger on the ice. Good thing she didn't get cut by the chainsaw.

    I like it too. If the shell wasn't so dang useful I'd run with it off a lot more.

    Nice. Do you let your tree sit outside for a bit before you bring it in? Last year, I got a CEDAR - boy I messed up. There were flies all in it that night when we finally decorated it.

    We had my cousins birthday party to go to as soon as we got home, so it sat in the garage for a couple hours but then it went into the house. We haven't had any troubles ever in the past though. The trees we always cut down are Sub Alpine Fir.

    Did I read somewhere you were going to be in Reno this weekend? Xmas shopping I assume? None the less, HMU for a handshake.

    Yeah we'll be there Friday night. With Christmas being in the middle of the week we are going to celebrate a little early with my grandparents. I'm sure we'll get some shopping in too. I'll hit you up for sure.

    Excellent thread! I have a 2012 that looks very similar. I think I know what shell I'll be on the lookout for. Thanks for the ideas. I promise not to blatantly steal anything. :)

    I haven't started a build thread for this thing, I might someday, but for now I'll just dump them in here. I'm hoping to have this thing road worthy by our trip. Got the tub off today, huge pain in the arse. Should be downhill from here though.

    Scored some CJ fender flares today for the trailer, I may need to trim a little off the bottom, but other than that they are perfect. Super pumped about that. Also, from my secret santa(slimwood) I got some LED rope lights. Wired them up in the shell today. Ran a fused wire straight off the battery, put a switch inside the bed, used weather pack connectors as a quick connect when I take the shell off, and boom. Let there be light! I'll get some better ones of the bed once it gets dark.
