@GordJ it was a good time for sure. Much colder this year than when I was down last year. Fishing was pretty great though. This season has been tough on the guides down there because lots of people are cancelling trips due to the “riots” occurring in Santiago. We spent plenty of time in Santiago and can confirm it’s nothing to worry about. But we ended up with the lodge all to ourselves.
Not a lot of land cruisers in the area but we did see a few cool 40’s and 45’s.

Quick update. I now own the truck...Yay! Still working on getting some shipping details worked out but that is no big deal. It will give @Eric Sarjeant a little time for some final details. I think really the last thing to do was add labels to the SwitchPro. Other than that, things are pretty much buttoned up.
I did opt - at the very last moment - to acquire the fuel pump, lines, etc. to upgrade what was originally installed with the LRA tank. Those items are not being installed now but I thought I would go ahead and grab them while it was on my mind. I am not really sure they are necessary but I figure I will have them if I ever want to upgrade.
Due to the LRA tank, I will be able to use the rear swing out for something other than fuel. My good buddy @divemedic is going to put together a top notch first aid kit in a Pelican case and then I have another Pelican case with recovery gear. I will let @divemedic chime in on what he has planned since that is really in his wheel-house.

Can you share more details about the fuel tank upgrade kit? Not sure I’ve ever heard about this before.

Anyone given any consideration to installing after-market seats in their 200 series? I got to thinking this evening that a pair of Scheelmann seats in black leather with black alcantara center sections would be pretty slick. Plus, I would keep the original seats in new condition.
I know there is really nothing wrong with the stock 200 seats so I am not really looking for that debate. Just curious if anyone else had similar ideas. Planted does not make a seat bracket for the 200 series but we can easily fix that problem.

I know it’s been done by someone who used to be on the forum, I forget if it was Scheelmann or ortho Recaros. He said it was a bit of a pain to get it all the airbag lights happy but ultimately he got it done.

Beautiful
When all is said and done, how much of the payload did this build eat up? Just curious as i considering something similiar with my 200. Prime will be a 40 gallon extended fuel tank.
When is the ETA?
