Lookin' good. I like the way you angled the tire carrier toward the body of the truck, I don't know how much clearance it gets you on the trail but it definately looks nicer when it hugs the rear of the truck...that's one feature I wish mine had.
Keep up the good work building armor the the 60's.

Hey Jim-
As much as I'd like to make it tonight, I can't. I think I mentioned that
couldn't handle being retired and goes back to work on Monday. That makes this weekend the end of her retirement so we're hitting the trails in a few minutes.
Sunday would work for me but you should be taking Sunday's off. Let me know or I can come down any weeknight too.
Heading to the hills!
