Thanks Tom!
i have to admit, i have taken a few gratuitous moments to stare at it like a high school kid in love. haha i can see it and feel it in my head. i am so looking forward to the day i can stand on the pedal and listen to it whistle.

Good question! i doubt it. the tires are going to be a little smaller than i had in my first draft ideas. that will help. but i also hadn't planned on the body lift. so if i remember, the last time it came in and out on the roller tires i had room. not a lot, but it was hide height. maybe it will. at least this one i can dump and go in. the sad old jeep is just stranded outside forever. my yellow truck goes fine with 33s and 3" ish.

as much as it feels wrong, i think i am just gonna paint it semi gloss black on the outside and leave it as is finish on the inside. white would look out of place in the bed i think and the powdercoat dude would probably make me cry for this much footage. i have a vision...

i am looking forward to the next time i assemble it. not because its any fun, but because that means its all pretty and fresh. the inner bedsides are getting a spray-on at some point, so they wont be totally finished till its running.
