Hey Coleton,

It looks like you’ll have a worthy overlander rig when you’re done. A lot of work but worth it.

What’s the meaning behind the flag stripe insert? I’m sure the colour and the fact it’s there are not solely for decoration.
The blue line represents law enforcement. Google "thin blue line".

So, it’s blue, is it? I’ll take your word for it - I’m colour blind, so blue, purple, pink, grey all look the same to me.

Hmmm, that likely has a lot to do with why my truck is black, on black, on black and why my socks never match. ?

Umm..That's white too. :facepalm:
CRAP!
To top it off, I found out yesterday, it only has four tie-downs and no engine cover. Then Schilke called BS on a reply I made to a thread last night. Geez, I might as well install a damper now because EVERYTHING is ruined!

My tailgate falls harder than a Texan walking on ice (I've seen my fair share the past 72 hours)......and I like it that way (the tailgate that is)!

Ditch the CB and put in GMRS. It’s miles better and many groups are switching to it.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that

I guess the lesson here is Never start a build thread on a holiday weekend if you don't want it hijacked. :=)

Anyhow, have you considered adding rock sliders?

Now that is mostly black and shouldn't present any problems at all ;)
