Better get crackin' it is dumping right now, crossing my fingers for an stellar New Year!!! Let ,me know when you get here, you are more than welcome to come post up and shower and get out of the van if need be!!

That would be awesome. What's your favorite mountain around there? I'll probably hop around a lot because of the epic pass, but I'd kinda like to find a spot for a month or two and maybe try to get a job.

Sorry I had family come in town for a wedding so I've been busy running around and catching up with them. I didn't get much done. I cut the wood parts for the top. We started on the box for the back of the van today.

Still trying to figure out the door hinge situation.

I love Beaver Creek, soooooooo many good stashes and a looooooooot less crowded than Vail. Getting a job up here or anywhere in the mountains will not be a problem, they are short 1500 people just for the mountains. Keep me posted!!

So because the door is actually wider than where the hinge was, it had to swing out. Took a bit of thinking but we finally got it.

Since the air tank was best mounted on its side, I had to move the drain plug so that it was on the bottom of the tank.

I also stopped by Ricky Carroll's shop and picked up my new board for the trip. :headbang:

So how does your door open now that the handle isn't there?

I wired up the switches in the back

I also finished up wiring the lights to the switches in all 3 locations.

Got the trim done

Glued and stapled the carpet to the wood.

I painted the top black because there's a gap between the trim and the ceiling wood. I put leds on the back of the trim so it will get some extra light. I have to wait for the connector piece to show up in the mail before I can get the lights working though.

Awesome build man!

Have you had any time to put thought into how you were going to modify the ultimate MX hauler?

Waiting to pull the trigger on one until I see what you have come up with
