Builds The Iron Yak (2 Viewers)

Got the top and doors off today. Perfect day for it. Low humidity for the gulf coast, about 78 degrees. Took my daughter On a victory lap as we celebrated her 12th birthday today. Coincidentally all of the squeaks and rattles have vanished.
It has been about 5 years since I last drove a topless 40. I love it.

That’s amazing. Where are you? I’m over here in PCB. Yes, weather was amazing this past weekend.

Date night Saturday night. A fellow I know boated to the bar with his faithful companions on board.

Driving with the top off with no tailgate demands that I leave jump seats down to keep the rear cargo mat from flying out.
This in turn allows the jump seat straps to “slap” around which drives me crazy. I bought a second set of jump seat strap latches. I think I am going to mount them on the back of the jump seat. What do you guys think?
As I was examining my jump seats it appears there was a decal of some kind on the back AG some point. Can someone verify if that is the case and if so are they available? Ordered new sun visors.

Installed the bolt on tailgate from Realsteelcruisers painted by my brother.
Uses some peel and stick window foam on the bottom and sides.
Rubber washers between surfaces

Double fig Newton . Nice eye. Missing from the photo are the coffee and the diet Mr Dew

 

[TheHardWay]

Copy that. Thumbs up on the coffee, down on the Dew.

Blasphemy

Looks great. Did you booger the top left bolt hole up?

 

[Catching Neutral]

Yep

Shoot me some photos when you get it painted and installed. I love the fact that the license plate holder remains in it’s original location

I’m thinking about having mine powder coated to match.

 

[Catching Neutral]

My brother used seam sealer before paint. Not sure if thats possible with powder coat. I would ask.

Some things that have been missing from the Iron Yak are the sun visors. I wouldn’t have bought these for myself however my son remembered me saying that I thought they were cool and relayed that information to my wife who surprised me with them for Fathers Day. Who am I to say no? Painted the mounting brackets to match and installed this afternoon.
