I really like that I may try that myself.

Trust me a blow dryer or heat gun and a puddy scraper and itll conform to any shape. Some recomend the adhesion stuff for the edges. I never used it

Ya, have some of that carbon fiber stuff on a sled and it looks pretty BA.

Interior component painting is on the back burner for a while until I finish transitioning into a new job, but I got a roll-up tonneau cover to keep crap out of the bed when I don't need it, and maybe save half an mpg or so. This kind is nice for me as it's really easy to remove if I need it completely out of the way, or just roll it up for the average high load. So far, it seems pretty nice. It's a Lorado by access.

new job......?

Wayne · Jul 11, 2013

Headed to the oil field up in North Dakota for a while at least. Yesterday was technically my last day at Elite, but we're all on good terms. (I gave 2 weeks notice) We'll also continue to use my truck for 6.4 product testing and development when I have time off up there though. I have a handful of potential jobs lined up, but plan on committing once I get up there early next week. More than likely I'll be rolling 18 or more wheels 90+ hours a week, but nothing is set in stone.

How's that tonneau cover gonna work with your stack?

LOL

Wayne · Jul 12, 2013

Truck has come a long way, Wayne. It's grown on me. Don't forget about us

Tree Trimmer · Jul 12, 2013

so is JD's going to fill in in the mean time, or is testing pretty much done for a while??

for that matter, what was really left to test??

and GL with the new job

Erikclaw · Jul 12, 2013

No one is filling in for a while as far as I know. Wish Wayne would have left 4 weeks from now. Or when my chit was diagnosed so I could get it home.

Yeah, JD has always helped Tadd with whatever he could and vice versa. No reason that will change. Not sure what Erik is talking about but I know there is some testing in progress still. Hard to replace a guy like Wayne on the tools though.

:whs: no way I could take Wayne's place, but testing will continue don't worry about that.

Tree Trimmer · Jul 13, 2013

no, i had no doubt that testing would continue.

just waynes rig was test bed for many different scenarios, and i didnt know if JD's truck was going to take its place, or if they were going to take a break for a bit.

just wondering, is all.
