Thanks, we are enjoying it, had it on 3 trips locally and it working fine. I picked it up in Late April, I got it to the point it is now at the beginning of the month(July). Spent the first couple weeks steady on it. As the money diminished I had to get back to work to continue funding. Alot of late nights and long weekends.

Very nice. I like the way you used the V-Nose. Very original! Thanks for sharing. Do you haul cargo in it? Motorcycles or etc.?

Thank you, up to this point it has only had kayaks and bicycles in it. I have not reinstalled the D rings yet. There is enough room for a bike (dresser) or even a quad. I gave up cycles years back after getting hit and losing a few friends. I would do the off road thing though!!! It is pretty heavy because of its construction but could definitely hold a big bike.
