Dropped off the trailer at the blaster. Of course, after driving an hour there, I realized that I forgot the tailgate. Lol

Trailer is still at the blaster. The summer heat is causing the compressor to overheat and they're way behind. Supposed to be done within a week, 3 weeks ago...

Ordered and received the countertop. I think it'll work great!. Got a quote for a stainless countertop: $2600... So I bought a stainless prep table on Amazon for $200. The dimensions are perfect. 24x60. Need to figure out how to mount the sink and stove, but we're starting from a lot more practical price range.

Picked up the sand blasted trailer. Now I have to remember the name of the bed line place. Project is getting closer!

Had some items line-x'd today. Should toughen up the plastic and help it match even more. Picked up the finished cabinet last week and dropped it at the line-x to have the wood coated to toughen it and of course look bad ass! :)

Picked up the tub from the powder coater. Looks good, but is gloss black instead of the textured I had in my mind. Guess I should have clarified. Does match the truck for the most part and honestly it does look really good. Dropped it off at Line-x to have them spray the fenders to further tie it together.

Picked up the tub from the Line-x place. Turned out fantastic. I had them hit the whole wood cabinet to match, put a step strip on the tub, and hit the propane cover. Aside from doubling the weight of the propane covers, it turned out fantastic. It's super tough on the plastic and looks excellent.

Started to put the custom Truxedo on, but they only sent me 8 screws. Not sure if that was intentional and I'm supposed to drill or they accidentally left out the clamps shown in the instructions. Guess I've got a phone call to make tomorrow...

Received a couple goodies this week and ordered a couple more. Received the ARB compressor. It now occurs to me that I can't use it until it's wired up. So I picked up a tank & compressor from HFT along with an air wrench and a couple other goodies. Got the tuner for the truck from the garage sale section. Needs a tune.

A big question I've had for a while is about the stove. Can I fit a marine oven in the cabinet. After some measuring of an rv stove, an Atwood, it appears as if just the same in my personal life, it's about 10" too short... Maybe they make a stumpy oven? Lol

Next: order suspension, find welder for custom rack and suspension adaptor.
