What are the specs and where do you get the wire mesh?

Pegasus racing. Their medium mesh, #8 I think.

There's a pic somewhere in this thread or on my nc4x4 thread of the invoice. I have since deleted it from my phone.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! If it goes out west never to be seen again, I'll cry like a liberal during Trump's 2nd inauguration. Like, literally.

I got two more sitting here... just saying.

I've already got a storm brewing for another manche... but not enough capital to follow though...

... badder and better....

successful trip to AOP and Busted Knuckle Off Road Park.

Same video, just long and short edit.

Flopped on #47 at AOP. I'll have damage pics tomorrow. Nothing I can't beat out.

Still learning the manche, hard to break from buggy habits to full body. ????

Brake foot all day long. It's fine as long as you don't get a hip cramp?

Flop damage. Nothing a porta-power and hammer/dolly can't fix, aside from the taillight - and I have two spare trucks sitting here if they won't...

The stanchion at the bed corner didn't move a millimeter. Job well done.

Now it's looking more like a real Manche!

I know the position well...my old toyota cab truck was the same way laughing1 as long as i was wheeling...i didnt care how smooshed in there i was

Flop damage isnt too bad either, I would have expected worse in those rocks like that. You planning to fix right away, or let some more trips happen and then fix all at once?

Great to see it getting wheeled. Too many built full body rigs out there that won't use them. Usually they don't get properly wheeled or look like a crushed can in short order with no exo cage. Good to see you seem to be using it and fixing the damage as you go. Hope to see some high speed stuff and more trail scars.

Agreed 100%, it's not like I pan to drive it 10 hours one way. I'm in the woods where I'm happiest, comfort is my last concern.

I'll go ahead and repair. One, the door won't seal, and the busted tall light might get me a ticket. Secondly, in case an interested buyer calls, she'll be ready.

I don't mind the raisin look. But this body certainly wasn't perfect when I started, but no need for it to look any worse, lol.

Thanks guys!

Gonna plate the area behind the door? Seems like it might be a spot to get hit more often.

Possibly, second hit there in two rides, along with the drip rail. Most certainly plate the drip, haven't developed a plan for he post area.
