Took it out today for a test run. Had to do a dump run away, so this worked out well! Whatever movement between the cap and the cab made no noise. Barely a 1/2" space there that I did purposely. If there's a singular weak spot, it's the air catch on the front. Next test is to head into the woods and see how it does on a 2-track road.
Window covers were the next concern. What will they do? Only held on with velcro ya know..
Stayed on with no detachment!
Very happy!
That run gets me up to 55mph. Next run is ut on the highway and really give it a go!
I don't use the hate, but extremely disliked how the hinge on the hatch was working out. So I'm trying another thought. I still have some of the rubber base and wanted to test SW's Extreme Bond primer. It's cheaper than the Pro-cryl I use on the canvas and states in bonds almost anything to almost anything.. we shall see. The cove base has a nice lip for a rain edge.. hope it works. I want the tented area over the tailgate!
Sewing machine issues have slowed down the tent build. Neither our machine nor my daughters seems strong enough. I'm going through too many needles. I bought a belt for the old Singer (which my wife can't believe I go to) and it comes in tomorrow. That machine has never failed me and runs at a speed I can handle. Love that machine!
Never made it to HD today for the plywood to finish the bed platform. I'll do that tomorrow. I'm so close to a trip and an overnight!
