Despite the damage inflicted upon me and my truck I actually had a great time! A crushed roofline and a broken pinky made it that much more memorable. Pics in the AM after the Elvis drugs wear off.
Nice tube work Tom, I can't wait to see it up close. It appears that there are 4 drip rail mounts supporting the rack/roof protection, is that correct and are you going any further with the tubing or going to leave the clean side look? It looks great the way it is in the pics.
Pffftt!
So see you all soon

Thanks Bill. thats Carls handy work!!
I don't see adding any more protection, maybe brush wires if that is the correct terminology. I am real happy with the look but even happier with the function, lots of scraps on the tubes and my first time out with absolutely no sheet metal dings or damage....Thanks Carl!!!
Sure did have a good time. Great to see & wheel with everyone. Worst carnage (as a group) I have ever seen, in one trip. As usual I got to find another weak link on the chain that is my truck. But this just gives me opportunity to improve it some more. As long as we all make it there, and back home again, with lots of fun in the inbetween, it's all good! Lookin forward to the next time.
What was the carnage count at the end of this event? Jimmy wasted his L.F. fender and door. Clint lost a L.F. shock, rear brake line, & tweeked the L. door window frame. Carl dented a R.F. door. I modified a R.F. fender and my front bumper. Oh yes, then there was Phil with the entire left side of his beautiful FJC. A TTORA guy (sorry, don't know his name) ripped off a right side slider. And that's just what I saw. Any others?
So Tom got new body protection and gets the carnage monkey off his back for a while, but apperently the monkey was confused and didn't know where to stop on the rest of you.
I better get my junk together soon or I'm going to take the Saturn into the woods.

Man looks like I missed a wild one. Sounds like body work may be the main topic at our next tech day. See when the body looks like mine you really don't notice the new scars.
Tom, the tube work looks great.
Hope to see you all next time

Watching the people who work there and what they must gothrough every day makes me realize that my job is realy not that bad, even on its worst days.
My stepson Chris had a completly diferent outlook on it, he said "So many single mothers and so little time" AHH to be 30 and single, the world just looks different from his eyes.
