Great pics guys. THANK you! Yeah I would love to keep the rear upper light and the speakers and move it forward like NCSU did, but I think there is just too much damage up there to worry about it. I am just excited to start getting this done!

Hmm... good idea, but I nead my rear bed for all my crazy tools. It seams that often I carry more tools than ~tc~ I am such a "girl scout" that way... LOL I wish I could maybe mount my tire upright but it just won;t do if I do a canvas snap top to follow the line I plan to cut. I could always add the axo that allows for that but...

Dooood.... I have been too busy wheeling. LOL But now that the trails in colorado are getting snowed in and We now have the official HOUSE OF WRENCHING it will get done this winter. Trust me on that! We have a group steel buy and all the parts needed to do it (Plus I work for a woman who used to sew industrial canvas sails and will help me custom design my canvas snap top!!

But at least it would be weather tight.

Well it'll be pretty weather tight with the snap top, but will prolly be as loud as it is right now with no rear quarter panel window and no rear glass up. LOL. Tippy looks like such a hill billy truck!

We finally got Troy's truck out of the garage after 3 weeks of re-doing his rear diff, fixing his ARB compressor and rear ARB, and adding a sonoran steel cross member for his skid plate.

Now it is tippy's turn for some serious garage time... and after working a butt load... the money is coming too!
