threw the 55 iron back in the fire! time to get this thing ready for spring, and ready for summer airstream trips.

first up, cutting down the job box. sectioned 5" out of it for WAY better rear viz, and it looks better. left 1" on the floor to keep the edges straight, then shoved that back into the box for an overlap to help water intrusion when only stitch welding it back together.

next is getting the bed sealed up so i can use it as a real bed. bed mat ordered to clean up the floor and protect things, plus the tailgate is almost done. cut down the factory chains even for the shorter gate. not sure i actually need the lift-off hinge like a modern gate, but it was fun to fab either way.

i'm working on ordering a OneGauge kit so i can monitor everything about the 12v and tuning. no screen, just TORQUE on my phone since i already have a nice mount for it on the dash. can always add one later if i need to.
