Very nice. I hate working with fiberglass but in some situations it's just what the dr ordered.

Got it on my leg...Had a sweat bee digging in and I swatted him with the hand full of sticky stuff. Later I pulled the rugger gloves off and one of them managed to first hit my other hand, right before falling onto my foot. Got it on my ear (How did that happen?) and my sniper shirt/ Had one...sniper afghan shirt I purchased in Bagram, but since I'm no snapper, I guess I can lose the shirt!
I am using aluminum for this project to save weight

I'll still be able to shave and brush my tooth (I'm Kentuckian, so I expect to be down to a single tooth at some point...and I'll want to keep that sucker sparklin'!
On the subject of weight.... any idea Don where Square D is going to scale in? I got to looking, seems my 91.5 CTD pickup is about 5700lbs.
Don, you may want to think about making that support leg adjustable so if you are parked on uneven terrain you can adjust it accordingly. Might even want to make the aircraft cables somewhat adjustable so you can let out, or take up, some slack to get the table semi-level so your water stays in the wash basin for when you're bwushin' yo' toof.
Where's the pink generator fit in to this project. :)
Does the door of the hatch clear the tire or are you going to have to drop the tire/open the rack to get into the rear of the truck? Just thinking of moving quick and wanting to throw something in the back quickly. I had a similar rack on my old Land cruiser and found it a pain having to always open the rack to get inside. I ended up moving the tire onto the roof. Heavy but do-able by hand for the rare times you needed to do it. Heck at home I just lifted it up on top with the tractor. Just a thought.

Perhaps you missed it in the past when I talked about it, but the truck is going to lose the top hatch and the tailgate. I plan to build my own rear closure with a door and some other features.

I know what you mean Don, it was 107 hear today. So nice to have pool!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, know about the humidity from playing in the lower deserts here. Maybe not quite as bad as you over there!I used to wear a sleeveless sweatshirt when I worked in the fields near Hemet, the sweat cooled you so much. But high humidity felt worse when at the Salton sea.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
