Looks sweet Rob! Can't wait to see the finished product... There is, however, one MAJOR upside to NOT making it to Moab... I've slept well for at least a month straight now, and I will continue to sleep a full 5 or 6 hours a night straight through Moab. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Can't say I'm happy about it, but at least I'm getting some sleep...

Skimming through this, I first read that in celebrating your birthday, you decided to bend up a roll cage and skin it with cedar siding for Daniel to sit in, all while Jessica was pulling out the back seat in a bikini top? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

This made me go back and read a little closer. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

With a fresh cup of coffee, it makes better sense. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

A coupla comments, with caffeine clarification.
* don't take out the back seat before Moab -- there may be more than a few folks looking for a ride this year!
* I'm teasing you about the <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> pickup appearance, BTW, but having less metal and glass up high is one of the reasons I like my Amigo so much. I've leaned my truck and cage against a wall a couple of times, and as long as I have the foresight to drop the top, I come away unscathed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
* that tow-hut looks great! plan in an emergency exit for when pranksters roll your Rodeo forward a few feet (whistling innocently)

Unfortunately it's been a little cold here the past week so all the parts removal was in a sweatshirt and jeans <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> .. maybe the bikini will come out in Moab so I can get rid of the pasty white look <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />



Oops <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Actually that bench can't go back in b/c it pushes the C pillar back too far on the cage with the mounts and it's not waterproof so the thought of riding in the front catching the occasional whiff of wet and rotting mold and 10 year old french fry grease that's still on it somehow doesn't appeal to me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />



Been there, thought of that! Since the Rodeo bumper is like 36-40" off the ground, we figure if we need to get in or out with it on the trailer we'll be crawling underneath to enter/exit through the door that swings in <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Jessica (who's not near 26 yet, after all, isn't that old?)

Happy birthday!... but man, 26... apparently I'm way behind when it comes to accumulating toys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

This is what I plan on doing if I ever roll or when I get a new daily driver.
