Really sweet Jason. Everything!

Thanks Tom!

I hope we can meet up again before we leave! I'm in overload mode right now. Andrea has pretty much all the non-essentials packed up and waiting on me of course. My buddy will be here late next week to take all my metal stock, benches, welding tables, ~150 cans and containers of misc sprays/paints/etc. I don't want to move. I'll just buy new and build new when the time comes.

Countdown on Poppy's to-do list is narrowing rapidly.

I'm heading to Minnesota to see the family at my sisters and then a trip back to Spokane to meet with realtors, commercial brokers and my laser company.

I may give this last round of new items to my cutter here in SLC. They have a better lead time (2-3 weeks vs. 8-10 in Spokane) I have the tailgate storage panels and steering skids for the 60, 80 and 100 series waiting on me to release for production.

Hope all is well with you and Jenna. Andrea says hello.

C, I have (to my knowledge) the last brown and 2 grey ME spec wheels. They are for my personal builds/stock though.

Maybe I could blast over in the 60 before you split. I know I will be coming over August 13 the Sweetwater Blues and Brews. Let me know you schedule, I could come over most any day really.

Thanks Frank... It's easy when you have good materials to install.

I figured @Juggernaught @4Cruisers or @NCFJ would have beat me to the carpet install on their rigs by now.

How did you get your brown map holder and brown door arm rests looking so new? Or are they new? Last time I tried to order some they sent me black ones...

Poppy is all done for now. I played with the wheel well covers. They work for the 60 series, but need to make a ear cover. I plan on swapping to the rear shoulder belts at some point.

Last item is the fender apron covers/seals once they get back from the gasket shop.

Wow Jason, your truck is sweet. I love me that new interior. It must smell nice. My truck smells like sheep inside...

 

[gregnash]

Looking good dude! Think I am going to have to add some of those B-pillar covers to my ever growing list of "Stuff Jason Sells" as mine are pretty cracked and nasty. But will probably wait until I can actually DRIVE again.
