Mike, Are they held in place by suction cups?

Had these on my 200. Yes, replaceable suction cups. They provide a few spares as well.

Put down a few pieces of sound proofing today, not fun in the heat wave that we are having.

Drove down to Thomasville this morning to have a few things installed on the Troopy
The PO did not have an egt gauge or a turbo boost gauge. But now we have both.

I placed an order for a complete set of solar screens from Australia. They are very well made and the fit is perfect. The Troopy is much cooler now, even in the southern heat.

I’ve ordered a set of these for my Troopy too. The temperatures are hitting highs of 48c at the moment during the day, so looking forward to seeing how much they reduce the heat.

They’ve been stuck in Dubai Customs for the past week, so hoping they get released soon!

Loving following the build. Such a nice clean car. Prime for a Hercules!!

@goexplore, I am not sure that that will ever happen. I would love to, however if the wife decides she likes to camp then it will happen.
Until then I’m just going to build the back for solo camping.

The wheels showed up from Stockton Wheel company after a lengthy wait. The powder coating was going to add a bit longer delay so I rattle canned them in a Anodized Bronze.
They turned out pretty good me thinks.

How was it dealing with them? Considered commissioning them for some custom sized steelies for the Troopy.

@TonyP not bad at all. Just took forever and a day. Andrae is who you want to speak to. I can send you the specs that I used on mine if you like.

Nice! l shoot them an email.
My offsets are going to be all wacky due to the 80 axles. Thanks though

I sent you a text on this but not sure that you received it. The wheels look great! Now that you've gone to the trouble think about cleaning your hubs up and getting some black lug nuts. Kinda completes the look. A before and after on mine.

 

[bulletsmith]

Yep I wanted to get that done as soon as I can find the black lugnuts.

 

[umpqua]

I'm trying to run a full service operation here.

Lug nuts that you need

Acorn Lug Nuts 12x1.5 Thread Black

Did you get those flares installed? Curious what they look like.

FYI @destructomatt I thought there was a restrictive covenant in our sale that would preclude installation of flares on that truck?

 

[destructomatt]

@jmlockwood I need something to match the offset of my new wheels
