Whomever buys this truck is going to be so "blessed" by the karma of the previous owners!
Hmmm, I could make use of that about now. ;)

I agree that it specs out to be a wonderful rig. Makes me sad to have frittered away my money on my XV-JP.

Does anyone know how the custom drawer organisers are made? CNC cut for each cup and plate from thick foam?

Any comparable products on the market other than cube pluck foam?

In my days at Unicat we did all of that by hand, for each piece...
