Some of you may have noticed that I'm a bit of a Ram fan. Having said that, I'm not sure how I feel about this split gate idea. Honestly, I think it's kind of gimmicky. Needlessly complex and increasing costs and weight for something that I'm not sure anyone was asking for. I'm all for choice, but I for one will probably not be ordering it on any of the trucks I bring in here. It's a moot point anyway, as it's currently not in production, and won;t be for the foreseeable future. Maybe a late 2019 MY build.

I was far more impressed with the trailer for the Solo movie.

I think it's a pretty cool kit, and you did a great job on it!

I really like this one. Very well done. I dig vans, and Stranger Things is one of the best shows on tv right now.

Looks great! Would have taken me a couple of tries to get that lettering done in the correct order!

Holy moly. THat is stunning.

Looks great! Is that canopy scratchbuilt?

Awesome! What kit did you start with on this one?

I'm having this trouble the past couple of days. I can't respond to most threads in the off topic area. Community Builds and Off Topic seem to be a no go for me.

Interesting. Viking Volvo, racing trailer, Range Rover, Land Rover. Those all appeal to me.

I built this one when I was around 10 or so. We had a small local drug store that used to have models in the toy section. I remember nagging my mom to get me this one. I'd buy it again if it was reissued.

I can see America from my house! Okay, not really, but on a clear day, I can see a lot. When the bears, mountains, hockey pucks, and mosquitoes aren't in my way.

The IPF bulbs were the same wattage as the factory bulbs. It's the reflectors in the headlight that made the difference. No high watt, crazy bright nonesense for me.

In my old 93 XJ, I ran the IPF replacements with their H4 replacement bulbs. Was an amazing upgrade. Huge bang for the buck. https://www.quadratec.com/products/97017_1600.htm I ran them with the IPF H4 Magic Bulbs with the green glow ring. Kind of cheesy but I liked them. LED headlights are a challenge here, as they don't generate enough heat to melt any ice or snow build up while driving.

That stepside. Perfection.

I had to google what a Probox was. That doesn't happen often! I kind of dig it! Silver is definitely the right choice for this one!

Great progress, really good coverage all over. And you got some paint on the truck too!

Not rreally irked by this, more disappointed. Had to terminate someone's employment today. Totally the right decision, and I don't regret making it at all, but having the actual meeting really sucks.

Hmm...I like both. Black Sabbath are probably overall more influential and important in the big picture. But for me, Iron Maiden are the band that turned me in to a music nut. I remember my dad buying Powerslave on vinyl, and I made him dub a copy onto cassette for me, and I listened to it a lot, and looked at that album jacket a lot. No question for me. Up The Irons!

Had my first trade with TarheelRick. Everything is perfect. Would trade again!

As a side note, the Journey is actually a solid option. They're reliable, fuel efficient, and reasonably priced. We move a ton of these at work. The Journey RT AWD can be had for under $30k CDN, and that gives you almost 300hp of V6 engine, navigation, 19" wheels, push button start with remote start, heated leather, heated steering wheel, and rear dvd. Not the most exciting vehicle on the planet, but then, it's not supposed to be.As a family hauler, it's just about perfect. I gave up on automotive journalists years ago. They judge sports cars by the number of cupholders and amount of cargo space, then deride small family cars for not handling like a Porsche.

We got more snow overnight than we've had all winter! That means I got to go out and plow with our plow this morning.

Read this earlier today.

I have Somewhere In Time in pretty much permanent rotation in the truck! And in my stash, I have the Revell 747 and a set of aftermarket Ed Force 1 decals. Got that together right before revell actually issued their Ed Force 1 kit! I need to bump this up the queue.

On a related note, it's rare that I ever have to ride my dinosaur over to the fax machine here. It seems the only people still using faxes are registries agents and insurance people. They seem to want everything faxed. And they never understand the dinosaur crack.
