I'm glad mine didn't come equipped with it! It would drive me bonkers

 

It looks good jeff. I'm still waiting to see what idea you make for the headliner or are you gonna attempt anything like you thought about earlier. I plan on getting the window guards and possibly stripping the plastic pieces down and modifying to my specs. Just haven't figured out when to do yet.

 

Honestly, I'm pretty cool with it as is. It's a camping/offroad/overland/beach rig. Maybe someday, but not in a rush. I've removed literally every piece of plastic trim (including pillars & seats) except for the a-pillar, which I painted dark grey (from beige).
I have a few tasteful additions on the todo list... false floor w/ l-track's, steel grab handles, wire runners to hide cables, cargo net or two, roof console

I don't see any point in covering the roof in aluminum, it'll look just the same as it does now, but with scratchable paint. I like this King Starboard stuff I've been working with, maybe I will end up using that for the roof.

 

Got some new wheels.

 

Well keep the photos coming man. It's been giving me ideas. I'm still working on making mine a 5 seater from a 7 seater. Still getting some stuff powdercoated like the cross members and such. The guy that does my powdercoating is getting a new set up that does chrome on anything including plastic and can be tinted to any color you want. Giving me some ideas.

 

Got my front drive shaft from A-1 Drive Shaft Co in Milwaukee, WI for $270. I'm going to install it this weekend.

 

I had a few parts left over.



But, she ran fine and we went on a couple test drives to get anti-freeze level done.

Engine by evening light, instead of florescent bulbs.



Hurray, an empty bay in the garage.



Thanks, guys...for the kind words. Yes, the last lap was the longest...but once you make that final corner...it's cruise control to the finish.

let
me know how you like it. I've seen theirs and a place out of Arkansas I keep eyeballing on eBay

 

Got both of my shafts from Dynamic Drivelines in Arkansas, the 01 has about 6K and the 03 has about ten miles (engines been out). Both seem to be made well.
