    THIS is AWESOME! Prennro you are my new hero. I love how the journey took so long, that Bam started out as a little boy and ended up as a grown man by the end.

    Bam, you should take a Big ass can of high life, cut off the top and bottom, and make a tip for your exhaust out of the can. I'm sure it won't last long, but it will look funny.

    As a wagon innovator, pioneer, and proven projects to back it all up, it was worth the small amount of extra time to put it together. Keep up the good work, BAM! *thumbs up*
  • I just noticed my post, as well as a few others, were edited to remove the quoted pic.

    I assume the idea is to keep the board looking neat and reduce load times. I'll do my best to remove pics from my quoted replies in the future.

    Here's a late afternoon today shot.

    247.jpg

    I finished mounting the lights and coated the bumpers, rockers, and door trims with spray-on bedliner. Also installed new head unit, and prepped and painted the wipers and cowl. New windshield goes in tomorrow, plus wheel alignment in the next couple of days.

    Here's one of me playing around at lunchtime near work

  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    That's my coworker Josh. I think he got out of the car so as not to be in the picture.

    Oh well, can't steal his soul. He's a ginger, ain't got one anyway.

    His van (down by the river) is just out of frame.

    Ok. New windshield installed yesterday, so i put on the repainted cowl and wipers last night. Also got aligned.
    I was pretty close on the front, only toed in 1/8".
    On the rear I had 'er toed out 19/32.

    The fender flares arrived yesterday, so I test fit one.

    Yuck.

    It doesn't look good at all. I started with the left front fender because it's damaged anyway- now I guess I'll be swapping it out because it has 17 holes in it!
  • TerminusVoxTerminusVox Senior Wagonist
    Which flares did you try?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Flexy flares 52-170

    Looks GRrreat. I see lots of mud in your future.
  • Pick of ugly fender flare installed? Just so we know how it looks...
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I never took a picture of the flare. It just didn't work. I took it back off the next day.

    I've had this image in my mind the whole time of the car with black flares, so it's disappointing to me. I'm thinking of painting the arches Beagle-wise, so I tried it out with some primer

    399.jpg

    What do you think? Just the arches with bedliner? I don't think I want to do the whole lowers. ... Unless I do the bottom half and all the trim in brown, hmmm.

    Pulled this little boat out of the lake this morning. I was embarassed because I had to use the granny SL gear.

    I vote to keep the gold lowers and just bedline the arches and assessories with liner!
    Bet it will look good either way, however!
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    Bam,
    You had me at the sizing the boat up picture...
    That would look insane with the wagon towing it down the road.
    I think the gold looked fine, but it sure would look cool if ya had some flare!
  • I say it looks perfect without the bed liner treatment!
    The ridiculous engineering speaks for itself without embellishment.
    IMHO
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I'm thinking I will leave it plain after all.

    Played a bit on the way home from the lake this morning

    No problems climbing the easier banks. There were several that I didn't try.

    I want to try the one at the left in this pic.
