Hello all,
I finally finished all of the big work I wanted to get done on my truck. I just finished the carpet today. As we all know the work is never quite complete but this is a massive milestone for me and I want to thank everyone on the board that has helped me get to this point. I want to show some before and after pics to illustrate how far this project has come. Just to be clear I'm not boasting I'm just ecstatic that I was able to meet and reach a personal goal and childhood dream.

Alot of guys helped me with answers to my seemingly neverending questions and I want to say thank you. And then I have to thank the guys who provided great service at their shops and who helped me source parts:
Retired War Horses - Steve Big Thanks Man
Black Dog Customs - Big thanks to Mike Vaden
Military Truck Works - Who had patience while I was deciding on a complete turret purchase and who told other customers NO until I got back to him.
Midwest Military Equipment
Custom Combat Trucks - RIP Matt
Predator Inc - Ryan, Paul, and Cheetoh who got me in to get work done within a day
Hummercore - Richard who assisted me with an issue on the lift installation
Oh, and My tow truck driver who looked out for me more than a few times and who stood firm and believed me when LAPD confronted us and thought my truck was the HMMWV stolen from the national guard base our very first ride together![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f923.png)
There are many more I'm going to have to come back to this thread and add. I'm just so happy right now.
Special thanks to @Retiredwarhorses,
@Action, @papakb,
@DREDnot, @Coug, @86humv, @Milcommoguy, @TOBASH, @BLK HMMWV
