keep it up its looking great and moving fast!!!
That would be so nice but for this little job the small hand held buffer worked out pretty good. Thanks, really happy with how it’s turning out.

The video is just 7 seconds of camper carnage out in the street. Disc brakes would be a very nice add and a 4x conversion would be very cool. Driving ours home we hit a dust storm with some high winds and had to stop for a few minutes. With the narrower CC diff and no rear sway bar the RV got some serious sway, Mrs. 7dee2 was following and said it looked like we were going to tip over. Raising your center of gravity, I would seriously engineer some very large sway bars into the 4x design.



The frogs are back and happy as ever to help out. Taking this stuff for the short ride over to the cab for install. Cab is done and ready for glass, it’s been polished and the top of the dash is blacked out.
