I ran a couple years with a hole in my hood. No issues.

So you want pix? You mean like this?

This is the new interior, with Herculined floor and wells, and indoor/outdoor carpet in charcoal from Home Depot. The side panels were preserved from before, gray indoor/outdoor carpet over plywood, secured with stainless fasteners and nylocks, with two access doors per side allowing use of the quarter panels for storage. The toolbox is from Caribou Luggage, makers of motorcycle saddlebags for dualsport bikes - extremely durable modified Pelican cases. I can attest that the tools stay put even in a rollover.

Side shot. The Bushwackers balance the glass front fenders pretty well IMHO.

Gnarly front shot.

Best I could do with a cellphone. I guess I need a cam for Christmas this year.
