Damn. Had to scroll back to page 3 to find this. Busy busy. 
This is just some bored at work musings. I did do a little bit to the old lump over the summer, but mostly just drove it and enjoyed it.
A list is forming for over the winter. Some new stuff, and some stuff to redo that I don't like.
For example,
Front shocks/bump stop setup can be improved. Front shocks are limiting travel quite a bit. They were just ones I had, close enough for regular driving but not for any kind of wheeling. Because I do that so often.
The front bump stops I just don't like. I also don't like the way the corners of the headache rack turned out. Radius doesn't look right.
Maybe I'll finish off that fawking ebrake too so I don't have to do the gods must be crazy every time I go through the gate. ( if you don't get that reference, you suck.
)
I should probably figure out a spare tire mount too. Either headache rack, or build a rear bumper with swingout.
Having essentially 3 tailgates, it wouldn't really be in the way like it would on a normal truck.
If I hung it off the headache rack, it could be on a top pivot so it could swing up out of the way into the ladder rack if need be.
I'll have to think about that one some more. Maybe actually GET a spare tire...
Bradford made the mistake of stopping by so I enlisted him into helping put the roof back on. Just so there's an actual cruiser pic. Might look better without the lumber rack on it, but that thing is just too damn useful. Picking up 20' lengths of steel or wood without drama is awesome.
Future roof machinations should be a bit easier with this.
My shop has this weird attic storage space through a roll up door.
I think the previous owner had intended to get a forklift for a wood storage room. Not sure. Dude was nuts.
I'll be able to swing the hardtop into the loft out of the way over the summer which will be kinda nice. Not to mention 50 other uses. Max capacity of the hoist is 400 pounds, so nothing crazy. Pivots right out of the way against the wall inside when not in use. I'll find a better hook for it. That one is s***.
Skid plate will be first thing tho. Hopefully this week. I could do with some fresh overhead welding burns.
