@Byoung7982 I have the same covers, fit is perfect besides there being an opening for lumbar adjustment on the pass. side. Currently trying to figure out how to get rear covers.
 
Replaced my steering shaft firewall seal. It's going to be nice not having hot air blowing on my legs! The dust buildup was unreal behind the firewall insulation. Contortions aside, very quick and easy job.
 
Finished the bedliner and mounting of the wkor sliders and messed around with a diy awning setup. It's a little tall and crooked in this pic, but it looks like it'll work until I figure out how much I want to spend on a fancy one lol

Very nice, I'm playing with a tarp setup the same way with my Prinsu. How is the tarp attached to the rack?
Also, what kind of wind noise do you get with the LED light bar on the spoiler? Does it severely affect the deflection over a load on the rack?

I bought some hardware from McMaster Carr that works great with the Prinsu. In the position I have them it keeps the 6x10 tarp I have fairly tight. Just one eyelet up front and one in back with some generic quick connects clipped to the tarp. I can post some links if you're interested. I haven't been able to put anything on the rack yet, but I just bought a 21 cu ft waterproof bag for an up coming trip. Hopefully I'll be doing a trial run in the next week. The light bar makes a fair amount of noise depending on wind and speed. I've been covering the fins with door edge weatherstripping and its definitely helping. You can kind of see it in the pics.

You guys repainting your trucks crack me up.

This is why I have multiple 80s. One is getting the garage queen treatment. The other I beat.
Smart! If I didn't have so many other hobbies, I'd buy one to cut up and use it for a dedicated trail rig. That way I could re-paint my night shadow 80 instead of monstalining it. Such a beautiful color to line over :(

Monstaliner has a navy blue that looks like it might be a pretty close color, i have thought about requesting a sample piece to compare...

just looked it up, they call it Midnight Special.

It's not a bad color, but it's just not close enough for me. I may still do it anyways, but I'm not sure how it'll look with the factory paint in the door jams. Outbreak and midnight special against nightshadow pearl

You could mix your own tint into the liner :meh:

No way on the "Outbreak", and yeah it's tough to imagine the MS over the entire truck now that i see it next to the NSP. I'll be looking out for what you decide on. Cheers.

I think my best bet is to get a couple quarts and do a few trials. Hoping to play around with it this fall and I'll definitely update on here.
 
Well this showed up on my doorstep. Nice little surprise gift from my awesome guy.

Package was a bit mangled, but inside was 2 big vacuum sealed bags filled with brand new soft sexy leather!

All this beautiful leather makes me think I should get some new leather apparel for myself, to go with all my 80's new leather.....

....but it might be a bit too hot in Hawaii for all that. I wonder if they make waterproof leather bikinis?

Thanks, very similar to what I had played with. I'm looking into mounting 2x 6' sections of L-Track (used to mount airline seats). I saw a guy who installed it under the cross rails but I'm thinking about mounting on top next to my plywood sleeping platform. Limitless tie down points that you can remove in a sec.

Too bad about that light bar noise. I am considering mounting one like the Prinsu guy has; under the spoiler. Just haven't been able to research it yet.
