    Yeah, I don't expect there's a lot of snowboarding opportunities near Knoxville. Sounds like a good time.

    Thanks for the paint information and the invitation to PM when needed.

          Shock hoops are in. Used a through frame NPT sleeve to get the brake lines on the other side of the frame. Had braided stainless lines made up too.

              The Oasis air compressor sends air to a 5 gallon tank under the bed.

                Here is one of my favorite tricks of the build I think.

                Regular fuel filler???? No says I!!!


                Here is where the air supply is accessed from.


                But thats not all. Inside and pinned to the filler neck are quick disconnect jumper leads. Pretty handy if I say so myself.

                  Was able to get a better windshield frame. Mine was rotted in the channels where repairs are not an option. Here is a small picture. Doesnt look that bad but the lip that the gasket seats on is gone in most places.


                  Thanks to fellow 715 zoner Maximum Destruciton, I have a better canvas to start with

                      Nice build!

                      I'm hunting for the metal frame that bolts to the cab that supports the bows and the canvas top. Happen to know a source?

                      Mine has some kind of home made sheet metal abortion riveted to it.

                        I may be dumb and missing something but isnt it somewhat dangerous having electrical jumper connections around fuel?

                          Diesel fuel is much less volatile than gasoline.

                            The filler neck is not a part of the fuel system on my truck. I have a bed mounted auxillary tank.
