My place in Wyoming is 5200ft. I don't know if there is any snow since I am in Omaha, but I do know what little there was when I was home melted before the next storm.
The Wind River Range looks good with the low snow line.

Up at 530, drove her to meet the guys for some 
. Arrived home, washed the Yak and took some photos.
I am completely happy with the seats. The drivers seat feels amazing. I am not sure what the guy did to stiffen it up but it is perfect. And the color is exactly what I had hoped for. In one of the photos you can see my old back pack from which I drew inspiration.

And lastly. I have had many things left in my 40. Notes from someone wanting to buy it. The little ducky jeepy things. But this one I just found today. I think I will keep it.

Did the footman loops come with your top or did you source them?

Footman loops came with the top. Only caveat is that I didn’t care for the fasteners they provided. They provided metal self tapping screws.
I sourced stainless nuts, bolts, lock washers from my local Ace.. I think 3mm.

Rogga!!!
Thank you. My setup will use the Ambi door option so the installation will be different IRT the footman loops but, I think there are still at least two loops per side.

Footman loops come with your top, mine however, were unusable. I’ll be curious to see if they improved those as it was one of the issues I brought up with them. They aren’t that expensive and are handy to have around so I’d suggest getting some good stainless ones to have on hand.

Will do. Thanks for the Pro Tip..
Perfect Pic, Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I have everything on hand so I’m not the weak sister holding up production.

I will amend for my vernacular indiscretion this spring/summer with a beverage(s) of your choice.

The Yak is a really nicely done 40, props for the details, backpack, tool bag, so well put together, nicely done proper 40 and for those whom don't know, that is not an easy task, lots of tedious work, results vary, this result sets the bar pretty high IMO.
