O.K...
Tasker, thanks for the measurement offer. You're "second" to none.

Jeffie, I was practicing my zen fiberglass trimming. Blindfolded? Is there any other way?
Serguei says he can do the bikini with the clear sun roof if Missy wants it for $165.

Daryl, Per the above, I was trying to reach your level of indestructability. Instead of becoming one with the force, the only force I felt was the cut off wheel bouncing off the bone.

Response sounds good. I'll get it going as soon as the sample one gets here. You all have Ben (NGA) to thank since he's the little bird that put the bug in my ear in TN and got the sample headed here.

Rgds, Mike

BTW-
The surgeon checks his work on the carnage tomorrow. Think I'll get a pic of the Frankenstein thumb unbandaged and make that my new avatar..


Daryl- better put the guard back on your grinder since some moron (can't imagine who) removed it.

I have both versions. I have been towing with mine for 5 years or how ever long its been and have had no issues so far.

longer straps would be nice and longer door flaps I don';t see why they could not extend down the rockers, I run soft door & inserts and longer would keep the rain out of the bottom of the doors.

Bax, You sound like my wife ;D

Tasker, If you and Jeff don't pick up the pace next year, (and I have time to adjust the shift linkage so Mel and Jason can actually find reverse), your reign will end!! Think about it, ROOKIES almost beat the champs on their first try. Better start juggling with your angle grinder and the blindfolds. :cool:

Always a critic and a showoff in every crowd....

Went to the Doc this morning. He says I haven't torn the tendon loose again/yet but there's always today.

Ben- I was in the shop as soon as the anesthesia wore off which kind of pissed the doc off. Unfortunately, I can't glove the hand so its all stickied up from resin. Made parts last week (slowly) and good progress on the Trail Tub sides over the weekend despite Mel making me take time off. They should be in fill prime today, then wet sand, final prime, wet block, and buff for molding.

This is going to be my new avatar;

Me too Tasker. A litttle longer and I'd have been looking for the piece on the floor.

OK Ben, Heading to the shop now. You can punch me in...

I don't remember the slant version. Was that for someone without a family cage?
I liked the family cage version, but it would be cool to offer it with some sort of rear support that breaks down (for storage) for those without a family cage.
You'd only have to make one cover then too. It could drop into the rear bed post holes so no cutting would be required.
I'd definitely be in if the price was right. My seats are getting beat on this year.

Bad news-
Got a call from Carl that he'd picked up the broncos and parts but no trail cover. The PO had sold it. Anybody out there got one thats sevicable (good original shape) we could borrow or trade for a new one once they're done? :-[
