LawnDart's Build Thread

[LawnDart]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been very happy with the NL PP and I run it in my cargo bay with amongst others, a solar charge controller wired to the aux battery and the NL PPP does a great job effectively charging both batteries when needed.

More Importantly, the great generosity of OB being your host, we all would expect to see a rig walk around video show up on YouTube sometime after..if not, that just wouldn't be right...

We will be doing a walk around video.

Finally got the bike out of storage, as it had been living down in California for a while.

Definitely agree. I think you struck a nice balance between detail and storytelling. Well done!

Rear Bumper Finish

Hey man, love the rig. Totally inspired me to do some work on mine.

Did you rattle can the rear bumper or powder coat ?

They come from CBI powder coated.

Just got word that Schutt/XVENTURE has booked the flatbed truck that'll be hauling 2x XV3s and 1x XV2 to our shop in Portland (from Wisconsin).

So the trailer gets here mid-next week.

Aesthetics. The same reason you spent time carefully cutting and placing grip tape into cute bias cut lines. There's not much left to do to your truck. You said small mods, yourself. Was tongue in cheek, but whatever.

Meh I'm indifferent about the stickers on the GOBI myself. They don't stick out so much to hit me in the eye everytime I walk by, so I let them be. Besides, after being on my truck for almost 2 years they have held up beyond my expectations ( no cracking, peeling, or fading) so they have earned their place.

I always consider how a mod LOOKS in addition to how it works. It solves a problem with the powdercoat being slippery and looks good. Win win.

Look forward to seeing it at expo. :clap2:

Truck will be in the total chaos and baja design booth, but trailer will be in the vendor camping area.
