Sure is! :)
 
Looks like that will do the trick. I'm sure you're stoked to have a way to stay out of the elements. Gonna be even more fun that wheeling a 40. Got the benefits of going topless but can still run the AC.

As for the top, Those little corner peices at the cage hoops look a little odd. ALso seems like it could have been a bit cleaner at the back. Seems like a fair amount of loose material to flap and make noise. Not trying to be critical just observations. But it will undoubtedly do what it was intended to do and that is to keep you dry and warm when needed.
 
That's really cool Dan!

When and where is the first offroad trip gonna be?
 
Amazing. Nice job. That has to be one of the most OG cruiser Ive seen. :) :cheers:
 
The little corners are actually on the triangulation of the cage and keep it from moving at all over 50mph. The rear I didnt really explain.

There is a hi-lift under there. The rear window panel has a rail at the bottom of the clear panel, and there is another panel going from there up over the hi-lift and buttoning to the rear. I had him leave extra material to not have the jack wear through it over time, and to allow some over packing in the rear and still have good seals.

It was pretty much considered in every respect :). The top has a flap along each side with a zipper. That makes it look "less clean" but also allows the side panels to slide in and button into place. I still have to have zippers put into the window panels on the sides so you can button them from the inside.

Don't know. Still trying to get work and kid schedule sorted out.

I have to take the truck in to ACC to get some work finished, and I should get the window panels zippered as well at some point, but just details.

I could trail ride today, truck runs fine!

Sounds good. Great truck! Still have a soft spot for it since my first experience on Pritchet Canyon in Moab was riding with Robin in it.
 
Nice job Dan. I was going to ask the same thing boxrocket did about the loose material in the back.

Can't wait to see it in the promised land!
 
Once back, I think a hoard pic is in-order... I've lost track with all of the sub-forums.
 
I sold it in 2009 to a guy in Arkansas, who then sold it to a guy in RI. I always kept in touch and asked to have dibs...and got an email that it was time.

Works for me!
 
From what I can see it is the same or better. I love it. Didn't realize how much I missed it till I started thinking of the drive home from RI and how fun it will be. Sort of want to wait for a snow :P
 
Bought! Booking a flight and getting her home this weekend if things pan out.
