Wet Okole's should be purchased in Feb/March-ish. Stoked about that.
Anyone have experience with their lumber support system? It looks iffy.
On a random, non-build-related note: I've been looking at plots in SW Wyoming for when I get out of school. I'm hoping to build or buy and fix up a country home and get out of the city
I'm very excited for when that day comes!

Tailgate seal is in: just doing little stuff until it warms up . . .
The seal wouldn't fit flush on the sides so I kind of chopped it up and sealed all the gaps.
It's hard to see that it makes sense without seeing the tailgate almost closed and closed and where the gaps no longer are. I also put a piece at each top corner of the tailgate to seal the biggest gap.
And the bottom was straight forward obviously

Thanks, man. I'm ridiculously busy lately but it'd be cool to wheel some time.
I got my OME shocks and Steering Stabiliser from Wheelers Offroad. I didn't really shop around to be honest. I've done business with them a few times and got treaded well in the customer service department so I went through them. They don't have shocks for us on their website so just get their number and give them a call. I'm pretty sure it's just drop ordered form ARB anyway.

Nice truck man. I live in council bluffs, IA next to Omaha. I'm an auto instructor and have access to a full shop anytime. Let me know if you need anything or any help with the rig. We can work in the air rather than on the ground outside. I'll pm you my number.

Sold the wheels and tires to a buddy for $400. Sorry man.
Thanks. I won't be doing anything heavy on it for a while unless you know a place that will fab up my custom bumpers or do some engine work. Even that is on my long term list, not my short term one. right now I'm just getting it ready for a trip this summer (hopefully).
