HRE's came in today for the Gen 3! UGH need a truck!







22x11's in brushed clear finish. Cant wait to see them mounted up! What tires to run got to make a decision on that

Any thoughts? Need 35x12.5x22. Probably leaning towards the ridge grappler

Update. So I hit a Boulder Sunday in the gen 2. Water all over the windscreen blinded me and by the time the wipers caught up it was too late. Took out the steering rack ugh. So it’s in for surgery as well as cam phasers.

Ouch. Get it fixed quickly so we don’t get bored with your Gen3 shenanigans.

Ha it’s at the dealer! I’m going to be down till the middle of august for updates. Just got a Ford GT40 MKII dropped on us at work. Arrives Sunday morning at 2am and we have to present at pebble beach for Monterey car week. 5 weeks to restore a car is no joke so it’s going to be around the clock time for the next month. Not looking forward to it!

ok... We’ll give you 3 weeks to post a Gen 2 update, none of those silly gen3 with 26”’s and probably negative offset updates.

Hey, at least you’re doing G*d’s work for the next few weeks.

Got her back from the dealer all fixed up with a clean bill of health!

Also picked up a new explorer. Going to take this to the Florida house. Wheels and lowering springs on the way

Been forever since I updated this. Life has been stupid. Currently down at the Florida house and busy with opening a second location for our store down here in Naples. Cannot wait to get back to the CHI and tear the **** apart and get ready for Snoball.

Update on the Gen 3. Well that was supposed to be here in October, it is of course on a chip hold. I have the wheels, bed cover and other bits. Oh and the interior materials came in. Thats right! We are doing away with the blue that Ford put in and going with some custom stuff. Cant show it off yet but here is a sneak peek of the colors that we picked out. I have all of the Alcantara and leather in stock waiting on the truck UGH. I need to get it done so I can take it to the florida house and leave it there as the Porsche is sold.




So anyways that Is the seats, door panels etc.

GEN 2. Steering wheel nut came loose. Wheel was shaking all over the place from the nut coming loose and jacked up the seat. Really bad design. I tightened it back down but it will only happen again so I got a new steering wheel from a f150 and re did it in leather with some nice stitching. Can't tell from this photo but the baseball sticthing is red and blue. Just gotta get it on.


Explorer. That one is almost done. i bought all the ST TRIM that is gloss black and had it put on. Ran out of time on wheels (going gloss black), and put a roof box on it. Also changed the paint to satin Xpel. That project is almost done just have a couple more trim pieces to get done in black. Building this one up just for road trips so we dont pile miles on the nice cars.



Plan is to be back in the CHI by thanksgiving, spend the holidays there and then tear into the Gen2 day after Xmas and build it in a week Before I have to get back to FL after New Years. Snoball is 1/14 so running out of time fast!

The steering wheel nut coming loose is a bit alarming, I've not heard of that before.

Sounds like we're just going to miss each other haha. I'll be down in the Naples area visiting my mom right around Christmas and leaving a few days before New Years haha!
