Just have to wait and see.

[Footofgod]

Drill bit size Q? What the hell is size Q? LOL!

At least I got my new high lift.

Barring a natural disaster, today is the day the top comes off. Weather is perfect. Beer is cold. Pulled pork is slow roasting in the oven.

Slave labor will be sanding in prep for some paint and bed liner.

Can we get a live feed going?

How do you do a live feed? It would be cool to do but not sure if we need to show off our rookie (at best) fab skills.

 

[KidVermicious]

FukifIknow. I just wanna see live footage of Bill mangling his truck beyond all recognition.

 

[Footofgod]

Ustream is easy, but no live feed today, just in case we do mangle it beyond on recognition.

Well, if you'd set it up it would have been a sure thing, so it's probably better this way.

Spoiler! Almost done cutting!

 

[Footofgod]

Scary!!!!

Spoiler! Almost done cutting!

How do you keep all the junk inside from falling out.

 

[Footofgod]

I'm thinking about a cheap Gator net. Lol!!!

 

[helo-mech]

Oh yes!!!!

So you guys are gonna do a Moab 2013? Any chance I can tag along even though I have jumped out of the "Classics Section"? I've been watching the 2013 trip thread but haven't seen much.

I've gotta admit, I like the proportions of it, especially with the added height balancing things out. Are you going to mate the original end cap to the back of the cab now, to give it a nice rounded shape? Can't wait to see the finished product!
