First chore is to take back some extra sheet rock and insulation. If you can imagine I've got the 2x4 and 2x6 going across the bed - but I'm running 2 2x10s down the length to support the drywall (so it doesnt crack on the way to Lowes). She's loaded with @ 300lbs drywall, nary a push on the springs.

The front shot is just because she's the most bad, awesome looking material hauler I've ever seen. The only thing that broke my heart was plugging in my circular saw into the bed outlet and it didn't work. I gather there's not enough juice (I'm not smart at all about how that stuff works...inverters and what not).

Is there any way to run power tools and guitar amps out of the bed of the truck? What will that require?

Anywy just got my coopers installed. I'm planning on AmericanAdventureLabs high line fenders to help them clear on the trail until my Metalcloak lift comes in. Also added the hothead headliners.

I was going to get those headliners, and now I have to wait to see if I win the contest. Just in case I can score them for free.

Did you have any issues with the adhesive in the cold? Nice looking rig btw!

Thank you! It's not that cold here. It was 80*F yesterday... So not yet. They forgot to put the adhesive tape stuff on one of the panels, but likely I had some similar stuff in the garage. And as of today they both tapes seem to be holding.

View attachment 49970 Well...it only took three days from arrival at dealership:champagne: to the shop to pop in the new Rubicon Express 3" lift and a sweet set of 37's. NO REGRETS ! Man, I couldn't be happier. For all of you waffling between 35 and 37... Do the 37's. the spare 37 squeaks right in. The ride is better than stock and Nitto Ridge Grapplers are quieter than stock M/T Falkens. I am thrilled. Popped in the Superchips Flashcal F5 to change the TRUE size of 36" to fix the speedo / trans. And away I go. Wheels are Black Rhino / Armory 17" I gained 5.5 inches in clearance overall. I'm ordering the Rock-Slide to help the o'l lady jump so she'll "stay off the paint":swear: My hat's off to Chris, Eric and the crew at Desert Rat on Bell in Phoenix AZ. Incredible service and attention to detail. View attachment 49970

Agreed! Thank you... I'm just as thrilled as you guys.
I had someone ask for measurements. the top is now 6 foot 6 inches. That's Dad!! came to visit for the holiday.
Dad is 79. He said "Can I ask how much you paid for this?" I said "you don't want to know".

Dammit.... Monday's tough enough, now I'm stuck day-dreaming the rest of the day, looking at these pics.

Such a sweet, sweet ride, man.

Lucky you, I built an epic 3 slide, 2 level playset with 6" wood chip bed, 6x6 sandbox, I get a "best dad for a week" award and they'd rather play with the hose. :facepalm:

But I do like your analogy. :movember:
Go do some trails. Then slap them badges on the pacifica!

Lol, turning the JT into some kind of overland rig, hopefully in 2020 we'll earn some badges with Gladys.

@WarMachine , where did you get your numbers and stars? I had intended to go the "MASH Jeep" route but wasn't sure what size to get the star. Didn't seem like pixel decals offered one that was big enough.
Hey Naughty Geek, I believe my star was 16” and the letters/numbers are 3”
