Well,
I've nearly completed the finishing touches on my new rig. I've added the following: Trail-Gear Sliders, Garmin Nuvi 350, BFG MT T/A's 255-75-R17, 2" Level Lift, Lucrum Winch Mount W/Light Bar, Hella 500 driving lights and a Warn M8000 winch. I still need to add a wireless winch controller, second battery and possibly a roof tent. You can see the stock version at the beginning of this thread.

The first time I saw one of those was at the Publix down the street from where I was working. It was yellow and I had no idea what it was because it didn't have any badging.

Another thing I wanted to add was that you should take more vacations! 450 hours...

For those of you who remember me, I am going to start lurking around here again. I know I popped back in a few months ago with that announcement, but I mean it this time. Wave

I really have no idea how I ended up using Dude as a name because I've never been a surfer dude or any other kind of dude (waits for people to take advantage of that statement).

Nice to see you back Dud3!

As to the vacation, you are right, I should take more. I still have over 1000hrs on the books. I work two weeks on/two weeks off so it's pretty easy to get by without burning any vacation. Although this last 14days, I worked 224hours (56hrs of OT) and am still a bit burned out.

On a side note, I just found out this morning that I am at the top of a very short list of applicants (list was pared down from 10 qualified applicants to 3 last week) for a Marine Pilot Association trainee position. This is a huge deal and very hard to come by. I've been running around with a big grin on my face all day. Grin
